Would be amusing to see the reaction if they had died. Iran apparently tried to attack Qatar with SU24s, for some reason, they got downed.

F-15 got taken out by a friendly SAM. I guess that doesn't count as a combat loss.

According to the Guardian https://www.theguardian.com/us-news/live/2026/mar/01/us-israel-war-on-iran-ayatollah-ali-khamenei-i-dead-latest-reports "More details are emerging on who will lead Iran during a transition period, following Khamenei’s death. Iranian President Masoud Pezeshkian, Judiciary chief Gholamhossein Mohseni Ejei and another official from the country’s legal council will be part of the trio overseeing the transition, according to state television which cited Mohammad Mokhber, one of Khamenei’s advisors. Last summer during the 12-day war with Israel, Khamenei named three potential successors should he be killed. Reports earlier this month indicated that Khamenei had named four layers of succession for key government and military jobs, in an effort to ensure regime survival in the face of a US-Israeli attack."

Should be a turkey shoot, might as well jump in.

They seem more confident they killed Khamenei

Well Israel will try to murder as much of the leadership as they can

Should have made a killing on Polymarket, then. Also has this gem, heh.

This seems like some awesome propaganda. "Mistakes will happen", sigh. In any case, no grand wizard needed to figure out they were waiting for the Ford to get into better position to bomb Iran. Israel's attacked tonight

The Farmer Was Replaced I forgot I hate Python.

One good thing about the Westminster system, can end up with coalition governments especially with PR. Perhaps unstable though

https://www.cnn.com/2026/02/21/politics/trump-greenland-hospital-boat The general status of confusion about this is pretty funny

Not bad, considering half the crap I listen to I'm in no place to judge. Really awakens the latent urge to be a jihadi in every man.

More stuff from the "it's new to me" file I can't help but giggle at the "What exactly is the meaning of this?!", seems like someone being very impudent with God

Cato InstituteThe Supreme Court Got It Right on IEEPA—But Don't Pop the...The Court did important work by reining in the misuse of IEEPA. But judicial intervention can only go so far.Was a banger of a press conference too.

Finished Unavowed, fun game, even if rather easy (such is modern adventure gaming) I guess killing people did kind of bite me in the ass, I expected as much - why do they have to punish me for wasting people these days I am still mad at Gamdec for keeping a better ending from me merely because I ventilated some scumbag killer kid's chest.

Robert Duvall, 95

Yes. But then what. He seems to be dancing around the idea of a UN with teeth, which no one is going to accept. Like the idea autocracy is great because democracy requires too much work.
