If there is one thing that the world wars have taught us, is that the most stunning operational successes mean nothing if the underlying politics is a mess. Because, you know, war is the continuation of etc...
Historian of French Revolution here to say that in periods like this, squeamish compromisers do as much to drive radicalization as do ideologues. If you keep making excuses for the unfit king, eventually folks come for you and him.
It achieved thousand of small objectives of killing people and smashing things up but forgot to have an achievable main objectives. Iran is a huge country that takes science education seriously. You can destroy their current weapon capability but you can’t kill the knowledge to build it up again.
“We are forced to stay despite the danger, when we defend our land, and we do so peacefully. None of us carries weapons. All of us carry peace and goodness and love.”
These were the words of Father Pierre al-Rahi one day before Israel killed him in Lebanon today on March 9.
😂😁 Excellent !
Yesterday I filmed several baby birds walking across a street directly at my camera and asked Bluesky to suggest music
Several dozen folks did
Some even dubbed music over the original clip.
I haven't been able to get this out of my head.

Its ok to just say “brutally invaded with the goal of illegally seizing territory” you can add the proper nouns later
Le mot "nonchalant" est le participe présent de "nonchaloir": non+chaloir! Or "chaloir" signifie "s'inquiéter de" (il vient du latin "calere", être chaud). On le retrouve dans des tournures vieillies type "peu me chaut" (voilà, je l'ai appris récemment donc vous aussi maintenant!)
Panneau en opus sectile représentant le rapt d’Hylas par les nymphes et provenant de la basilique de Junius Bassus sur l’Esquilin à Rome (première moitié du IVe s.). Il est exposé au Palazzo Massimo alle terme à Rome.
L'absence totale de respect pour les vies humaines, pour les vies tout court, se conjugue avec la destruction du passé et la haine de l'avenir. La guerre comme fin en soi, avec le moteur d'intérêts privés odieux.
Et il n'y a que le premier ministre espagnol Pedro Sanchez pour s' opposer en Europe?
In politics when you tell people if they don't like what you are doing they can leave it is the equivalent of the young lad in a war movie showing a pic of his sweetheart saying he is going to be with them soon, the ending is predictable.
In a restaurant on my own eating a massive steak, drinking a good shiraz and reading the FT like some sort of terrible Martin Amis character. Might fund some hedges later. Whatever that is.

An adorable raccoon.
Pictures emerging from today’s heavy bombing of Isfahan. Damages to the mirror works, tiles, floors, and carved wooden doors of Safavid palaces of Aali Qapu and Chehelsotoon. Both of these are within the UNESCO Heritage complex of Naqsh-e Jahan Square. These are 16th-17th century bldgs.
Considering a lot of those Y results are probably bots, this is even worse than it looks
If I had a nickel for every time Franz Ferdinand was involved in the precursor events of a world war, I’d have two nickels, which isn’t a lot, but it’s weird it happened twice
This godforsaken idiot piece of shit.
Attacks leave dead vs killed
Je me demande si les iraniens ont la capacité en terme de drones navals de s'attaquer aux navires de l'US navy comme les Ukrainiens l'ont fait contre la flotte russe de la mer noire.
Après tout, il s'agit dans les deux cas de mers très étroites.
I'm not advocating blind optimism, but it's worth interrogating any analysis which seems to be wishcasting consequences onto the US because it deserves them rather than thinking through the systemic, political and structural incentives and constraints of the players.
