And the US is trusted with nuclear weapons.

Sadly, I can see Canada and UK saying yes.

New WoW expansion, is fun enough questing, although they're obsessed with family melodrama and seem to have redundant characters in Anduin and Arator. Guess they'll kill one off .

https://edition.cnn.com/2026/03/10/politics/iran-begins-laying-mines-in-strait-of-hormuz CBS reports they are planning to do it, so who knows. Trump's response is the usual - "If for any reason mines were placed, and they are not removed forthwith, the Military consequences to Iran will be at a level never seen before." They'll probably end up nuking Iran.

The first two were funny and were good for adventure games these days

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
