Apparently there were large pro US/israel/ Persian rallies in London today.


So he is acting on public opinion. Not a willingness to standby and support the US.


That being said I have no problem with them patrolling the no fly zone when this is over

I'm not blaming you for bringing it here. I'm just pointing out that the reports of Mojtaba Khameini's death have been greatly exaggerated. It's a twitter wide issue and it would be helpful to see an indicator of which accounts are historically unreliable at the top of the tweet. They could even provide a link to flagged tweets from that account for things like fake or misdated videos, grossly false reports, etc. That would help all of us know which sources are crap.


Isn't that what Grok is for?

The Prime Minister’s weakness is embarrassing. If there is one thing your average Brit cannot stand, it’s embarrassment.

I think his days as PM grow short.

Do average Americans understand just how much GWOT veterans hate Iran?

Do average Americans understand that basically every GWOT veteran knows comrades in arms who were killed or maimed by Iran?

Do average Americans understand that while GWOT veterans hate the idea of useless, endless wars, that most also support a rapid takedown of the Iranian regime that murdered their friends so long as the fight is led by decisive leaders who will allow us to win?

Do average Americans understand any of this?

The Iranian president does not command the IRGC. From AI ... The IRGC answers directly to the Supreme Leader of Iran, who serves as the commander-in-chief of the armed forces and has authority over all military appointments and policies. The IRGC is designed to protect the Islamic Republic's regime, not the elected government.


So does that mean there is infighting between the government and the IRGC?

If that statement that was reported is true, then yes.

But who knows what is true right now?

STRUCK: Several Fuel Storage Complexes Belonging to the IRGC in Tehran

Guided by IDF intelligence, the IAF struck these complexes, where the Iranian terrorist regime would distribute fuel to multiple military entities in Iran.

The strike significantly deepens the damage to the military infrastructure of the Iranian terrorist regime.

"They engineered the 1979 oil shock to destroy the Shah's industrial revolution. Now they're running the same playbook against Trump.

Barbara Boyd exposes who's behind the panic — and why unconditional surrender is the cure. "

I normally don't listen to female commentators but this was really good history lesson.

Thanks for the unsolicited advice. I'll repay it with some of my own. Take any information that you get from anywhere, including Grok, with a grain of salt, even after it's been independently verified by talking heads, politicians, and "experts". Accurate information is the currency of human affairs, and nobody is giving free handouts.

Reporter: Can you give us an idea of what “unconditional surrender” looks like to you? What do you want from Iran?

Trump replied: “I said unconditional, not conditioned. I said unconditional. That means they cry ‘uncle,’ or they reach a point where they can’t fight any longer. There’s nobody left to resist. That could happen too, because we’ve wiped out their leadership numerous times already. So if they surrender or if there’s nobody left to surrender, they’re rendered useless in terms of military capability.”

President Trump has RULED OUT the Kurds invading Iran

I didn't like the idea once CNN was embedded with the Kurds.

Don't trust that pairing.
