    I just want to say that where I live we’ve received over 2,000 missiles + drones but not one single hospital or school has been hit by Iran. I’ve not seen any report that they’ve targeted a school or hospital. There are hospitals and schools near important facilities just like every country in the world.

    I had been under the impression that even with the most accurate weapons on earth, it’s impossible to avoid schools and hospitals during an assault. At least, that’s what the most powerful militaries in the world told us.

    That’s it, just wanted you to think about that for a second.

    Iran doesn’t know how to spread freedom.

    Same issue with Putin, being surrounded by people that tell him what he wants to hear.

    Junk in ---> Junk out

    It's a pretty simple concept. I don't know why people would not want accurate, full-context data esp when it's literally life and death decisions.

    We also have this playing constantly in the background: A con-artist full of himself is the easiest person for others to manipulate for their own agenda.

    In a social media post Monday, Trymp urged voters to turn out, saying Maples was backed "by so many of my Palm Beach County friends."

    "Donald Trump's own neighbors just sent a crystal clear message: They are furious and ready for change," said Democratic National Committee Chair Ken Martin.

    They are sick of that lying hypocrite.

    “Mail-in voting means mail-in cheating. I call it mail-in cheating, and we got to do something about it all.”

    Trump voted by mail in the Tuesday election and his ballot was counted, Palm Beach County voter records show. He chose a mail ballot despite publicly bashing the voting method as a source of fraud and pushing Congress to curtail the practice.

    Iran rejects U.S. ceasefire offer, demands sovereignty over Strait of Hormuz

    Here is Iran’s complete list of conditions, according to Press TV:

    A complete halt to “aggression and assassinations” by the enemy.

    The establishment of concrete mechanisms to ensure that the war is not reimposed on the Islamic Republic.

    Guaranteed and clearly defined payment of war damages and reparations.

    The conclusion of the war across all fronts and for all resistance groups involved throughout the region.

    Iran’s exercise of sovereignty over the Strait of Hormuz is and will remain Iran’s natural and legal right, and it constitutes a guarantee for the implementation of the other party’s commitments, and must be recognized.

    Even if they do by summer, they will go right back up again when hurricane season gets active.

    No president in the history of our country has made a better case for renewal energy.

    Ezra Klein's recent podcast with Jason Bordoff goes into this:

    tl;dr physical reality of Hormuz hasn't hit the markets yet which don't know how to price in Trump's waffling.

    The fact that Iran is now *in a better position than it was prior to the War* to influence events in the ME is a GIANT STRATEGIC FAILURE OF THE HIGHEST CONSEQUENCE - Trump & Netanyahu absolutely played themselves, because they are idiots & surrounded by morons, grifters & clowns.

    Like even if you think climate change is a hoax, you just cannot make the case anymore that reliance on fossil fuels for your society to operate is a smart fundamental policy. All it takes is one Trump tweet and everyone’s lives at the blink of an eye just got a whole heck of a lot more expensive.

    Investing in renewables isn’t about saving the planet (although kind of a nice benefit to live on the nice comfortable planet earth rather than Venus) as much as it is about creating true energy independence, reliability through redundancies, costs long term, and insurance from stupid messianic tyrants at home and abroad.

    Veterans warn US landing could be 'more Gallipoli than Vietnam'


    [​IMG]

    As the Trump 2.0 mulls a ground deployment in Iran, veterans fear a grueling, long-term campaign lies ahead — and that
    the U.S. military may be ill-prepared to sustain it.

    These deployments could point to an extended, likely perilous, endeavor, perhaps involving Marines seizing Kharg Island —
    which some veterans are already calling a potential “suicide mission.”

    An extended conflict in Iran might “be something more akin to Gallipoli than Vietnam,” Webb said, referring to
    the failed, heavy-casualty allied campaign to capture Turkish straits during World War I.

    Go back 20 years on this board and you find people saying clean energy is a pipe dream and an expensive luxury; Instead, technology & costs advanced beyond the wildest dreams of Al Gore "Inconvenient Truth" era and now the US government is tryingt to actively increase the cost of clean energy to prevent it from becoming widespread and actively subsidize fossil fuel barons. Sucks very hard that we have sunk to this level, among other things.

    Army ups maximum enlistment age to 42, relaxes rules on recruiting drug convicts

    The Hill
    by Filip Timotija - 03/25/26 11:46 AM ET

    The U.S. Army has raised the maximum enlistment age to 42 and also relaxed rules on recruting individuals with drug convictions as the service continues to widen its recruiting pool.

    The maximum age for eligible recruits is a bump up from the previous enlistment age of 35 and will go into effect on April 20, according to an Army Regulation 601–210, which was published on March 20.

    The changes come amid the ongoing U.S.-Israeli war against Iran and as the Pentagon is preparing to send more troops to the Middle East.
