  1. Two of the least likable people in the world face off, and Tucker Carlson comes out on top. WTF is going on.
  2. Bosnia vs NATO wasn't really a war, they weren't shooting back. It was bomber diplomacy, a method essentially unchanged since gunboat diplomacy which goes back probably 500 years. Don't see that working here.
  3. A more compelling answer to "why now" is momentum, rather than nuclear apocalypse. Gaza, Lebanon and now Iran. Besides, Netanyahu is like a shark, he dies if he ever stops moving. The good outcome is regime change, but I'm not convinced it's possible.
  4. There have been no wars in recorded history that were won solely from the air, at least I don't think there have. The Iranian leaderships consider this an existential war. Russia's existential war in Ukraine lost them a million casualties and they are still not deterred.
  5. What happens when MAGA loses the next election and the calls to get untangled from the middle east increase. If the US goes to war, it will be massively unpopular. Aren't you just assuming Iran will fold because of early successes.
  6. Israel has struck now because their opponents are weakened, but what about the long view. The problem isn't solved, just postponed.
  7. How does it end tho. Neither side is capable of invading and occupying the other. Is it just another drone and missile shootout that goes on forever, like Ukraine. Jesus wept.
  8. My theory is that they left him in his sensory deprivation tank over the weekend, forgot to flip him a few times and season both sides, and he cooked too long on DMT.
  9. I pruned some duplicate posts. I hope that's fine.
  10. It's not really funny, but I want you to consider Putin's hot daughter. Left me feeling thoroughly discombobulated anyway. she goes by 'Liza Rudnova' for the time being.
  11. Doesn't everyone speak English ? I've always been a bit puzzled by localisation because my language is spoken by just 6 million people, and I just never saw the point. The French and the Germans still care greatly about it though. Apparently the Polish too. Should be very straight forward to machine translate all the text. As for all the other mojo that goes into localisation, I dunno.
  12. Isn't that the time you would choose If you were Netanyahu and wanted to stir up some chaos to replace the war in Gaza though. If there is no crisis his government very likely collapses, and Gaza is an ongoing embarrassment. His remaining allies are tired of hearing about it.
