The case for revolutionary defeatism has never been stronger.

I think "the point" of Apocalypse Now is becoming the beast only gets you a weird cult in the middle of nowhere, lethal but still losing in Vietnam.

You've heard about "fog of war" before but seeing it in real time is a different experience.

Exclusive: The Trump-Netanyahu call that changed the Middle East The call answers the question the world has been asking since Saturday: why now?

So Khamenei called an all hands meeting to respond to US/Israeli escalations, a meeting that included both his allies and internal enemies, which is why Trump was talking about "our #2 and #3 picks to run Iran are already gone"

Logistics is woke. Supply is woke. End-state planning is woke. Force protection? Believe it or not, woke

We are a LETHAL military force. We will reign DEATH and DESTRUCTION upon our enemies. We DO NOT have any radar remaining, STOP ASKING.

Trying to follow the Iran situation and being reminded why I don't follow live conflicts too closely, there's no way to do it from afar that isn't pulling directly from spies for one side or another. I don't even like dealing with spies for sides I like.

They're also trying to end run the War Powers act with an extremely lame "technicality" and toss an even lamer talking point to the "isolationist" factions of their base (not even Matt Walsh is buying it)

This is part of my read on Rubio's comments that Israel initiated strikes and the US is being dragged in, they're laying the groundwork for an eventual "well this is really Israel's war anyway, so you guys have got it, right?"

Iran maintains missile firing pace

The Trump admin, running low on interceptors and attention span in a few weeks, draws down US forces

Gulf States start negotiating separate peace treaties with Iran

Israel is trapped in a widening regional conflict with dwindling friends

Do not let the cosplay crusaders and assorted Islamophobes pass the blame to Israel. This is a group project and they were no less excited for it than the Israeli hawks

The admin set up Huckabee as ambassador, Hegseth on Defense and Rubio on State specifically to get into this tangle, they don't get to pass blame when Israel holds up its side of the bargain.

Even their account is the Israelis were acting from US intelligence.

One is inseparable from the otherβ€”home policy is inseparable from foreign policy.

Opening my short war by decapitation striking everyone I could have negotiated an end with and then panicking when the conflict starts to spiral.

agreed, reminding me of when things in Minneapolis started to go south on him, also pivoted to posting about other nonsense and attempting to distance himself from the results.

funny thing about Dems (obviously inadequate) calls for Trump to simply state mission objectives for Iran is the administration clearly cannot do that and it really could make the whole thing fall apart.

Montana Congressman Ryan Zinke to retire, will not seek reelection Congressman Ryan Zinke announced he will not seek reelection for a fourth term representing Montana’s first Congressional District, citing health issues.

ABC FOX Montana reports Ryan Zinke will not seek reelection to the U.S. House.

House Democrats are targeting this seat and have already invested heavily in flipping it.

A significant retirement:

Everyone keeps saying he’ll be the next Fetterman, which I guess makes sense on a superficial β€œedgelord galoot” level for those who don’t want to expend too much thought on it, but it sure seems to me that a psycho like Gabbard is the better point of comparison here.

In 2003, we warned against the catastrophic consequences of US-led regime change in Iraq.

We were ignored β€” and hundreds of thousands of people lost their lives.

Political leaders should learn the lessons of history, and stand up for international law, sovereignty and peace.

The "crucial older demographic" you're talking about is the DNC.

"weird gibberish about post-bellum racists" describes more than a few winning arguments that have come before the Roberts court.
