If you are in an interview with Tucker Carlson and Tucker Carlson comes out of it looking like the sane one, something is wrong. Fucking Cruz.

Good. Meta/Facebook is a DARPA project and an official DOD contractor. Whatsapp is 100% a honeypot.

Before the presstv video cut out, I half-heard something about Trump firing a top defense advisor or something who called the US Israel's puppet or something like that.

I can't really find what that's about. Might be information warfare. Anyone know something about this?

Asked if US will strike Iran, Trump says, ‘I may do it, I may not do it’

The US president has been speaking to reporters on the lawn of the White House.

Asked if the US was moving closer to striking Iranian nuclear facilities, Trump replied: “I can’t say that … You don’t seriously think I’m going to answer that question.”

“You don’t know that I’m going to even do it. You don’t know. I may do it, I may not do it. I mean, nobody knows what I’m going to do,” he said.

“I can tell you this – Iran’s got a lot of trouble, and they want to negotiate. And I said, ‘Why didn’t you negotiate with me before – all this death and destruction.’ Why didn’t you negotiate? I said to the people, ‘Why didn’t you negotiate with me two weeks ago? You could have done fine. You would have had a country.'”

fucking douche bag. He's literally playing chicken with nuclear war. But me? I'm the masochistic fool who refreshed the page one last time before bed. Hope we are all here when I wake up.

Damn, you've been sleeping? Must be nice 😫

Go to sleep, comrade! Take some rest! I can take it from here with the updates while you rest.

Fortunately, I think we are in opposing timezones so we can take shifts in the meantime.

Thank you. Not sure I can sleep, or relax. I'll try to take a break though

This man is mad lmao what even is that answer

[-] [email protected] 7 points 2 days ago

Look, maybe I have a royal flush, maybe I don't. I'm not gonna tell you what I have, but it's beautiful, really beautiful, you should see it, but you can't. I told you to fold. I said to you fold, you have 24 hours to fold or maybe I'll raise you. I'll go all in. You wouldn't want me to do that, but I might go all in. Maybe I won't, though... It's hard to know if I'll go all in. You should just fold, okay?

Seeing reports that 3 passenger aircraft from Tehran have landed in Oman

—❗️🇮🇷/🇮🇱 Washington Post: 'Israel will only be able to maintain shooting down Iranian ballistic missiles for 10 or 12 more days, then they will need to start rationing munitions'

This could explain why Iran is opting to launch small but consecutive waves. Iran is likely using up some of their older / less sophisticated missiles to deplete Israeli defenses, to make way for the 'real' stuff later on. This is attritional warfare.

In most cases, a small wave of 3-5 Iranian ballistic missiles is enough to prompt the launch of about 10-15 Israeli interceptor missiles, with each one costing at least $12 million dollars (in the case of THAAD).

In contrast, even Iran's most modern missile, the Fattah-1, only costs about $200,000 to produce, according to the IRGC. If we assume 12 interceptors for one Fattah-1 missile (as seen in a video today), that means Israel is spending $144 million dollars to 'intercept' (not always successfully) a single Iranian hypersonic missile.

This is simply not sustainable. Within about two weeks, if Iran keeps up the current pace of fire, Israeli airspace will be at the mercy of Iran's far larger and more destructive solid fuel bsllistic missiles. Unless, of course, the U.S. intervenes directly.
