Must read. “We can’t understand the [Iran] attacks…without situating it in an algorithmic culture geared toward performing for an online audience…While Christian rhetoric…often does participate…the main message…is more about transgressing norms and showing domination” @laurenhorngriffin.bsky.social
Trump further ups the ante, declaring war on Iran will go on until Greenland unconditionally surrenders.

This could be the ideal moment for Greenland to launch a preemptive strike.
The direction appears to be roughly northward.

New NY Times ’visual investigation’ strongly suggests that the US fired the missile that hit the Minab school Saturday. (Though is very careful with its language to not say it conclusively.)

Absolutely. They’re clutching at straws, hoping to avoid deploying US. ground forces on a significant scale.
Ehud Yaari of N12 Israel News reports there is no plan for a massive Iranian Kurdish rebel incursion from Iraq. The manpower is not there, and the border area is a stronghold of the Iraqi Kurdish Talabani-clan-led movement that has ties to Iran. Smaller-scale infiltration is all that’s in the cards.
The Great Moron Theory of History has been gaining in credibility recently.
Kanwal Sibal @KanwalSibal • 6h X The Iranian ship will not be where it was if we had not invited it to talk part in our Milan exercise. We were the hosts. I am told that as per protocol for this exercise ships cannot carry any ammunition. It was defenceless. The Iranian naval personnel had paraded before our president. The attack by the US submarine was premeditated as the US was aware of the Iranian ship's presence in the exercise to which the US navy was invited but withdrew from participation at the last minute, presumably with this operation in mind. The US has ignored India's sensitivities as the ship was in these waters because of India's invitation. We are far from politically or militarily responsible for the US attack. Our"responsibility" is at a moral and human plane. A word of condolence by the Indian Navy ( after political clearance) at the loss of lives of those who were our invitees and saluted our president would be in order.

This moron has no idea how much of a third rail this is. If he goes through with a public fight with Dunkin he will never live this down. In the words of my people "fuck ya motha."
Great movie!

Defining a strategy and mapping out objectives is such a sign of weakness. Bullets, not bullet points, are the drivers of history. Real men don’t make plans!
