Even if it's not true, it great news for the good guys. It helps foment anti-Russia sentiment and supports the narrative that Russia and her allies are the bad guys.

It might get there. So far, we're giving the regime a chance to change its ways. The more.peaceful and stable the transition, the better it is for everyone. There are a lot of reformers in the Iranian government who see the need for change but want to avoid revolution. Revolution is the...

That's why I'm generally a week or two behind everyone on global events. I tend to ignore the news and wait for geopolitical analysts to digest it all.

Thanks. I'll check it out.

Where do you find that? Is it on youtube?

I don't, but if I needed to I would try pine tar.

I don't know the exact terms of the agreement, but inspectors were not allowed into all the Iranian facilities. Why? Probably because they were working on nuclear weapons. Why were they enriching uranium? Probably to build nuclear weapons. Where did they get the uranium? Probably Russia...

It's policy. The No Child Left Behind Act lowered standards across the country. It was Boehner who introduced it, and Bush Jr. who signed it into law. Just wait til you see what happens to the medical profession in the US. The new protocols are to basically throw as many prescriptions as...

Man, I hope so.

We has problems with porcupines chewing on plywood and OSB. You can put up wire mesh to keep them off the cabin while you are away. You can also make a salt stump a hundred yards away to keep them focused on that for their salt needs. I would start trapping fishers. Nice pelts.

It annoys the ever loving crap out of me that people say this without understanding it. It's called "breakout capability", and it means that Iran can literally be weeks away from a nuke in perpetuity. Just because they haven't built one doesn't mean they can't. If they have all the components...

Very unlikely. More likely is that the pressure can convince the regime to promote some of the more liberal members of the government and push out the more conservative politicians and clerics. I think there is a reason Aref and Pezeshkian havn't been targeted, and I would not be surprised if...

I'm buying today and probably Monday. I transferred out some cash yesterday to pay the bills, and the rest I'm putting into Congress bets. Looking at buying some BBAI this morning. Not yet sure what else.

Two things: 1. Our last two forays into the Middle East cost us 2500 American lives and 5 trillion taxpayer dollars, and it got us nothing. If we keep ground troops out and limit our role to support, we can minimize costs, while actually benefiting from the effort this time. Even if we spend...

It shows them they need us to keep the lights on. If they misbehave, we can have a boot on their neck in no time, so they better start playing nice.
