On a possibly related note, I don’t understand why I’ve not heard any media discuss the chances of Iranian nukes working at a moment’s notice without first running live, underground tests. Surely the first successful test…[Read more]

Just my (strong) opinions. This is a big deal. Perhaps Trump will even change focus over to a real, different kind of invasion.
Actually, both drones and illegal aliens who either construct them or bring them in would both be a concern for defense in the future.

Politics 11 months, 2 weeks agoYep, and what would today be like if outside powers had not intervened to create it? Israel has been working on nukes and it now seems Iran stole them.

Politics 11 months, 2 weeks agoI heard last night that Iran said it responded with 100 drones. Haven’t looked at later news, yet, but so few drones is (to me) obviously just a symbolic slap in the face.
The newest possible threat to us (and any country now) are unexpectedly large and well-hidden or disguised, AI-autonomous drone attacks… anywhere in any country. That’s where…[Read more]

With any luck, there may be a mutiny in Iran’s military and uprisings by civilians! In the meantime, be safe out there, everyone!

Politics 11 months, 2 weeks agoIran has to respond and if they see Israel and the U.S. as joined at the hip, American bases, assets, and persons could now be at risk either directly from Iran itself or through some of their proxies who potentially have a reach as far as the American homeland.

Politics 11 months, 2 weeks agoI know about 8 people who work for multinational companies who have turned down opportunities to work in the USA recently and opted to stay in Ireland or go to a different country instead. 4 of them are US citizens and said they will reconsider in 3.5 years’ time. But will it be too late by then for President Newsom and VP Buttigieg to repair the damage?

Politics 11 months, 2 weeks agoSome of the farms near us are just letting their crops rot in the fields, nobody to harvest them. The local markets are flooded with produce anyways because all the pre tariff produce that was rushed-in to beat the rise in cost.

Their ultimate Trump references were when they riffed on the character Trumpy in the movie Pod People. The Trumpy of today is certainly just as voracious and chaotic:
