Rassmussen poll which is always in the top 3 of most accurate
Has a majority of Americans supporting the war and a supermajority thinking it is a success

We could take it but it would be a pain in the arse told hold as a fixed postion.
The MEU specializes in various things and one of them is being able to set up kinda mobile little bases they can do a quick operation from tear it down and move again. Their advantage is speed and agility.

As it stands at this time, the war has not caused any appreciable hardship to Americans and the mission is still possible. Iran has been the primary source of funding and organization for fundamentalist Islamic terrorism for decades. If we can truly remove the oppressive power structure of Iran and deliver the country to its more progressive population, the world will be a better place.

One thing it’s hard to know is what proportion of thr population is ready to go to bat for and against the regime.
Many of us have thoughts or hopes on the matter but the actual numbers can be very different and will likely mean the difference between this beinf a complete victory soon or protracted over a longer period.

Grok confirmed that the video is from today.
I believe it was Ryan McBeth who pointed out a few weeks ago that AI cannot distinguish fake from real with videos.
I already knew that all AI is horrible with chemical engineering giving 90% wrong answers
EDIT, It was HLC who showed even a fake AI clip shown on Tousi

Lebanese reporters on the ground say 4 (Iranian) IRGC senior Quds Force figures, Majid Hassini, Ali Reza Bi-Azar, Ahmad Rasouli, and Hossein Ahmadlou, were eliminated in a drone strike at the Ramada hotel building in central Beirut last Sunday.
The strike hit the 4th floor at 01:30 AM, according the report, they had booked 15 rooms under multiple identities, gathered in one room for a meeting, and were all taken out by a single Israeli drone strike.

Well. Of course not.

Who knows if any of it's true or just another conspiracy
I can answer this one.
I have a master's degree in international finance. I did a semester at Birkbeck College, London School of Economics (1997). I interned in the City that summer and I've worked in finance (mostly agricultural commodity trade and securitization).
So as far as the statement that Iranian oil is used as some sort of black market currency to provide liquidity to the synthetic collateralized debt obligation market, and thus is artificially propping up the balance sheets of most City firms....
That is complete and utter horseshite. Not true. Not close to true.
And not only not true conceptually, it's not even close to being true from a microeconomic standpoint.
If it was even true that let's say 1 million barrels every day was somehow washed through the books and used as a straddle block to cover someone's illicit calls... so fricking what? You're talking about a few billion USD at a time, at most?
Do you know the size of the overnight repo markets between the City and the Fed? It's trillions. Iran's oil isn't a rounding error to that market. The idea that it's propping the whole thing up is laughable.
