Diplomacy in the modern age

They'll restore the Shah soon

https://www.cnn.com/2025/06/17/politics/israel-iran-nuclear-bomb-us-intelligence-years-away Of course the Mossad master race are definitely correct. And just because the US administration are clowns, Trump is disagreeing with his agencies.

And of all days, two tankers collide in the Gulf

https://www.cnn.com/world/live-news/israel-iran-attack-strikes-news-06-16-25-intl-hnk#cmbzpjbe2000s3b6xvad2fl3l Trump said people should evacuate Tehran, quit the G7 meeting too. I guess the US jumping in.

Well was more thinking if they nab an IAF pilot.

Just judging on Israeli acting with impunity so far, Iranian missile salvos seem fewer but maybe they're saving up some. Never know, could have something amusing like an F-35 crashing due to malfunction in Iran.

So I guess Iran will submit by the end of the week

DJ with the Nasrallah samples, nice.

A persistent memory of this song on my iPod in London 16 years ago.

Happy Father's Day

People saying the marching is poor, looks a bit laid back but I guess the US armed forces spend time on other stuff.

Dressed like a cop, maybe people understand all the apprehension about how ICE agents are dressed

Can't really blame them for wanting nuclear weapons after seeing Iraq, Libya, Syria, Ukraine. Not even sure that'd be a huge deal, I know Israelis will immediately declare it'd be a second Holocaust or something but I doubt that as the Iranians don't seem more insane than say DPRK or unstable like Pakistan (America's buddies!).

I doubt that'll stop much, the US and Israel will find some other reason to bomb them now and then.

They have tankers and not like Syria or Iraq could stop them

Treat Williams Think I've only seen him in Hair and Deep Rising.

Someone should ask what they were preempting.

https://www.nbcnews.com/world/middle-east/israel-considering-military-strike-iran-sources-say-rcna212528 Should be pretty successful if they do, wonder if Iran could respond effectively

Either that or they elect Axl as President. They could do worse. www.npr.org/2025/06/10/nx-s1-5429773/national-park-service-signs "The June 9 memo sent to regional directors by National Park Service comptroller Jessica Bowron and leaked to NPR states the instructions come in response to President Trump's March "Restoring Truth and Sanity to American History" executive order and Interior Secretary Doug Burgum's follow-up order last month requesting its implementation. Trump's original order included a clause ordering Burgum to remove content from sites that "inappropriately disparages Americans past or living and instead focuses on the greatness of the achievements and progress of the American people." Can't wait for the US government start pushing "State's rights" as what the civil war was all about.
