Joe Kent is a supremacist POS who pals around with white supremacist Nick Fuentes and spouts FBI-conspiracy theories about January 6. This administration is better without him, not that that says much about this administration that invited him in the first place or about the 52 GOP Senators who happily confirmed him. This is not a case of "the GOP moderates disagree." This is a case of "the racists want you to focus on the racism but they'll put the blame on the Jews anyway." And FFS, the phrase "hold the cards" is annoying as hell, and its only purpose is to suck up to Trump.Comment

Trump's declaration that we don't need anyone else's help with the Strait and we'll go it alone is pathetically juvenile. After he and Vance spent the first fourteen months charming the EU, it's astonishing they don't rush to help when Trump asks for it. Trump's speaking and writing style will be an embarrassment to the nation forever.

We are going to the see the effects of our Anti-Western Europe, Russia-affirming policy. There is speculation that Putin isn't pushing harder on Iran because he would love to see us get bogged down in this conflictOriginally posted by PaloAltoCougar View PostComment

I would say, if this is true, it is another blow to Iran's leadership. I believe this guy was walking around last week in Tehran Square for a Rally and the next week, gone.
Israel says it killed Iranian security chief Ali Larijani in air strike
https://www.bbc.com/news/articles/c24deezq6meoIsrael says Iran's top security official, Ali Larijani, and the head of the paramilitary Basij force, Gholamreza Soleimani, have been killed in Israeli air strikes.
"Larijani and the Basij commander were eliminated last night and have joined Khamenei, the head of the annihilation programme, along with all those eliminated from the Axis of Evil in the depths of hell," Defence Minister Israel Katz said.
Their deaths have not been immediately confirmed by Iranian authorities.Comment

Going through his X account sure shows a rather 180 flip.. Resigns and thanks POTUS all the while blasting him in the same post. That takes some balls. Or stupidity.Originally posted by SteelBlue View Post

This is a really good read from a Professor at the University of Exeter. He lays out some details on why he believes the plan against Iran is working. I am curious to hear what the life-long military posters think of this article and what he points out. A few sections of the article.

The US-Israeli strategy against Iran is working. Here is why
Every aspect of Iran’s ability to project regional power is being successfully degraded.
Two weeks into Operation Epic Fury, the dominant narrative has settled into a comfortable groove: The United States and Israel stumbled into a war without a plan. Iran is retaliating across the region. Oil prices are surging, and the world is facing another Middle Eastern quagmire. US senators have called it a blunder. Cable news has tallied the crises. Commentators have warned of a long war.
The chorus is loud and, in some respects, understandable. War is ugly, and this one has imposed real costs on millions of people across the Middle East, including the city I live in.
But this narrative is wrong. Not because the costs are imaginary, but because the critics are measuring the wrong things. They are cataloguing the price of the campaign while ignoring the strategic ledger.
When you look at what has actually happened to Iran’s principal instruments of power – its ballistic missile arsenal, its nuclear infrastructure, its air defences, its navy and its proxy command architecture – the picture is not one of US failure. It is one of systematic, phased degradation of a threat that previous administrations allowed to grow for four decades.https://www.aljazeera.com/opinions/2...ng-here-is-whySeventeen days in, Iran’s supreme leader is dead, his successor is reportedly wounded and every principal instrument of Iranian power projection – missiles, nuclear infrastructure, air defenses, the navy, proxy command networks – has been degraded beyond near-term recovery. The campaign’s execution has been imperfect, its public communication poor and its post-conflict planning incomplete. War is never clean. But the strategy – the actual strategy, measured in degraded capabilities rather than cable news cycles – is working.Comment
