Going to britain and encountering a lot of British people

England has a foreigner problem. That's right. Franco-German military occupation unbroken since the 5th century.

Gamers I'm gonna need y'all to understand that Jared Kushner and Mohammad bin Salman just killed this. If Saudi Arabia hadn't launched 10 Storm Shadow missiles at Sanaa airport in July, you'd get to play an actually good Mass Effect game.

*click* yep, that's going in my Barzani crime family lobbyist collection

Trump about to turn Texas blue by restarting the Iran war days before the midterms. Willfully throwing our own elections in order to help Netanyahu win his own election - which he inevitably will anyway due to the opposition's unwillingness to work with Arab parties. Insane.

Writing a Big Article about the Israeli-American war on Iran and at this point it seems a Round 3 of some kind is inevitable. But I just really have to question how this could be anything beyond a few days of aura farming strikes that kill a bunch of people for no reason, then back to square one.

Any general taking money on the sly is likely either dead or, at this point, aware that the Big Mutiny isnt happening. If it didn't happen in June '25 or January '26, it's exceedingly unlikely to happen now.

Internally, the Regime remains on shaky ground. The economic strain the population is under is catastrophic. But that is unlikely - especially in the near term - to translate to a mass uprising against the regime amidst Israeli bombs.

Manufacturing of new missiles is probably impacted "seriously" but is unlikely to be totally destroyed. Liquid fuel missiles are already largely built underground, with solid fuel construction also slowly moving underground as they figure out safer fuel mixing methods

Iran's missile and drone force appear to have weathered the storm more or less intact. The interior of their missile bases are unharmed, the entrances dug out, and new entrances and base expansions are going forward at a rapid pace

It seems very likely that neither the US nor Israel possess the stand-off weapon capacity to match the scale of their strikes in early 2026, meaning sustained strikes would require risky overflight of Iranian territory. The F-15E shootdown was a big reason the full scale war ended when it did.

Zelensky claims the US is only delivering approximately a dozen Patriot interceptors per month, while in previously they received about 50 per month. In a recent Iranian missile strike on a US base in Jordan, the US fired approx 70 Patriot interceptors and 12 THAAD interceptors alone.

Early in the war, an IRIAF Yak-130 jet trainer was shot down by an Israeli F-35I over the mountains north of Tehran. Apparently, the Iranian pilot successfully ejected and was found in the snowy mountains hours later by hikers.

It's funny because "centrism now, centrism tomorrow, centrism forever" is a far more liberal/progressive version of the infamous George Wallace quote in support of Jim Crow segregation than the actual appropriation of the quote by Hakeem Jeffries

Ironically Israel's Plan B (which was always their real Plan A) succeeded in dragging the US in to do the hard work but ironically also allowed Iran to enact it's actual Plan A: closing the Strait and dismantling Gulf oil infrastructure. Israel's Plan A allowed Iran's Plan A to work. Oops!
