Setting aside how we feel about what they want, asking the United Nations for help…really? They might as well ask the Tooth Fairy. The U.N. is about as relevant as a screen door on a submarine nowadays. Whenever the General Assembly wants to do something nowadays, it goes to the Security Council to die.

They’re just pissing into the wind.

Trump has warned people to evacuate Tehran… maybe an hour or two ago? I saw pictures of bumper-to-bumper traffic there, from a quick-response news source I’m currently getting a trustworthy vibe from. But tbh, I’ve normally ignored up-to-the-minute attempts online to provide reliable news scoops.

Unseen, I’ll remove this comment if you don’t…[Read more]

The horse is dead. No point in beating it.

@Enco

Your source doesn’t look like it’s reliable on an AP or Reuters level.

I did check an AI (Gemini) asking

During the ongoing war between Israel and Iran, are there any indications which way the general Iranian public is leaning regarding supporting their government?

And got this response:

Based on recent reports, there are strong…[Read more]

Robert, Ask your AI whether AM, FM, Shortwave, and Ham radio, especially underground radio, ever existed without Uncle Sugar’s USAID. You may also want to ask how 24-7 music-playing radio came to the British Isles. Hint: no tax dollars at work. I won’t mind if the lights flicker a bit. AI does use 10 times more energy tha…

Pretty pretty pretty good Reg.

Armin Navabi who hails from Iran is pretty stoked about everything and says he’s getting messages that Iranian citizens are cheering Israel for attacking the Islamic Republic!

I’m seeing no indication of anything other than Iranians rallying around their flag.

Where’s the evidence that the Iranian public is rebelling o…[Read more]

Ms. Phillips’ analysis seems to chop the left into two distinct and separate camps. One reasonable and siding with Israel and the other totally antisemitic. Are there avowed liberals taking down pro-Israel posters? No doubt. And the reason is that when you have the numbers of people involved, you’ll get all sorts of attitudes.

She assumes that if…[Read more]

Robert,

Totally in agreement that the term liberal is inapposite for progressives and the labels do get confusing at times. But when i use lefty, progressive i am referring to the far left who are woke and have the oppressor/oppressed belief, selective bleeding heart for certain classes of oppressed and Jew hatred supported by a mythology based…[Read more]

Robert, The Iranian resistance already sends and receives information to and from the outside world via VPNs as Armin’s video shows when he reads chats.

Netanyahu has gone to Greece – flew in this morning – he’s apparently in hiding or so I’ve read.

Yeah Enco, the consensus seems to be limited damage to Fordow. I suppose it would be dangerous to Americans or more dangerous to be directly involved. Might just take one pass with the bunker busters to end that site. Or sell/lease/give to Israel to do the job. Already USA has helped defend Israel along with other nations. I assume that Americans…[Read more]

Moron-in-charge slashed already tiny budgets of “Voice of America” programs, that transmitted pro-democracy information in many languages including Iran. They probably just get Iranian propaganda now. Who are we kidding, we are no democracy anyways.

VOA first began broadcasting in 1942 and reaches an audience of 361 million worldwide in 49…[Read more]
