Gas is 3.89 on my corner today. That's 1.10 more than three weeks ago. Thanks Trump.
@bradstevens are you talking about the Christian Zionists or whatever?
Fuck if I know. Check out the video that hhlurker posted. Dude thinks the U.S. military is being run by people who want to blow up the world to bring about Armageddon.@bradstevens are you talking about the Christian Zionists or whatever?
The US has been falsely accused of carpet bombing several times. Some things never change.Carpet bombing is of course a crime against humanity.
Where are the reports of such? I've only seen a few blogs.
Couple of sites I've found interesting...:

I don’t think this excursion has lasted long enough to rise to the level of carpet bombing. I think his (Jeffrey Sachs) concern is indiscriminate killing of citizens in Teheran (it’s more of an IDF-in-Gaza thing than US but now we’re complicit). He’s sounding a warning call. Msm is mostly not providing a picture of what’s happening in either Israel or Iran.
Two of the three Lottoral minesweepers were photographed in Malaysia yesterday. The third has an unknown location so may be present in the Persian Gulf area. But two so far away indicates we were not at all prepared for Iran mining. From all outward appearances, we had no plan past bombs away. Someone will eventually write a book, it will be interesting to see if we thought a decapitation strike would end it.

Rothman talked about this: Trump might not have had a plan past that, but I guarantee the military has had one for decades regarding that area. So yes, that delay isn't great, but it's not like this hasn't been war gamed many times by very competent people.Two of the three Lottoral minesweepers were photographed in Malaysia yesterday.

I'd bet money that Trump thought a decapitation strike would end it, though.
Sachs has an interesting resume. Clearly well-credentialed and intelligent. Serious thinker. But a cloud hovers over him based on possible ties to China. Weird that he'd use the language in that video.I don’t think this excursion has lasted long enough to rise to the level of carpet bombing.

@bradstevens I am sure the military has a plan. But if the President left it in the drawer, it isn't TDS (someone is likely to use that) to call him out in it. What have we done since night 1 that indicates we were prepared? Using the plan is the important part, anyone can have a plan.
I can’t imagine our military plan for securing the Strait of Hormuz included jumping the gun because Israel decided to start the war before our forces were actually ready.

This to me is an excellent overview, including in-depth looks into the history, the run-up, Iran‘s plans and motivations,, what Trump is saying and why it won’t work, there being no military solution, diplomacy is the only good solution, and it includes Russia and China and how and why. It also takes a look at the possible eventuality of nuclear bombs being invoked by Trump.
