Sounds like Ankara got its points across
I'm just going to point out, again, that this is not a real or serious argument but just a proxy for people to argue about their own personal politics. No one really thinks elections work like this, and 99.9% of the people arguing over this ultimately vote Democrat

Classics Quote of the Day: "Words had to change their ordinary meaning and to take that which was now given them. Reckless audacity came to be considered the courage of a loyal ally; prudent hesitation, specious cowardice; moderation was held to be a cloak for unmanliness; ability to see all sides of a question, inaptness to act on any. Frantic violence became the attribute of manliness; cautious plotting, a justifiable means of self-defence. The advocate of extreme measures was always trustworthy; his opponent a man to be suspected." Thucydides - History of the Peloponnesian War (3.82)

The NYT can go ahead and keep Grant's name out of their mouth
The degree to which Iran has absolutely upended all American/Israeli understandings of their military strategic depth is the only thing that is keeping me going at this point

This is what you can look like if you don't have a little sycophant at your side laughing at all your jokes and making you soft and complacent
Chotiner is a hero to BlueSky because he just asks the questions that naturally follow from the previous answer and is generally informed on the topic he is interviewing about, which is rare as a unicorn in our present media landscape
And I could explain why, even meeting the apparently fundamental qualification that I be a parent, I still agree with him but it's probably more fun for you to screenshot me, post me to your followers and then mock me when I block you
Well I have kids and I agree with him so dogpile me next I guess?
The year is 2033. You make micropayments per offensive drive to watch a football game. An on-screen scoreboard is extra.
In a separate letter, Governor Josh Shapiro wrote to the Attorney General of the United States and asked for a federal criminal investigation into the Israeli settler murder of Palestinian-American and Philadelphia-native Nasrallah Abu Siyam.
My latest in @foreignaffairs.com on day after challenges and the unrealistic expectations in Washington about what will follow this reckless war
"The wealthy Gulf states and their people had good reason to feel that they were detaching from the region’s problems... The human price of regional power politics was supposed to be paid by Syrians, Sudanese, Lebanese, and Yemenis—not by them."
