Thanks! Very much on brand indeed
“U.S. officials say a large share of Iran’s arsenal has already been destroyed, but regional sources say Tehran may still retain more than half its pre-war stockpile. If that estimate holds, Iran could keep launching missiles for several more weeks.” www.reuters.com/world/middle...
Pretty crazy data mapped here by @MappingFL: The 1919 US House vote on the 19th Amendment to give women the right to vote showed geographic patterns very familiar to students of history...
Asking for a friend 🙂
What was that? Now deleted
Oil transit chokepoints.
When so much energy moves through a few narrow passages, the system starts to look surprisingly fragile. Especially when world leaders start lashing out around them.
Q: You said the war is 'very complete.' But your defense secretary says 'this is just the beginning.' So which is it?
TRUMP: You could say both
Decent

WELKER: Are you receiving any help from Russia?
IRANIAN FOREIGN MINISTER ABBAS ARAGHCHI: We have a strategic partnership with Russia
WELKER: So that's a yes?
ARAGHCHI: It's not a secret and will continue
WELKER: Is Russia helping you locate US forces?
A: I don't have exact military information
"The Wall Street Journal found that the Department of Homeland Security, created in 2002 to protect Americans, has turned its force against citizens."
Pretty serious allegation here. "Witnesses told the BBC that the Israeli soldiers had arrived disguised in Lebanese military fatigues and used ambulances with signs of Hezbollah's Islamic Health Organization."

Helluva way for the president to refer to dead soldiers — soldiers killed in a war he started.
www.washingtonpost.com/politics/202...
“It is becoming increasingly hard to avoid the conclusion that the Trump administration has embarked on this operation without a plan, and is making it up as it goes along, as if they killed enough of the right people and destroyed enough Iranian assets everything would fall into place.”
this sort of rhetorical flourish by FDR in 1942 -- recognizing that soldiers represent so much more than war fighting, that they are a cross section of the country itself -- reads like it's written in a foreign language in 2026, the year of "relentless lethality"
So we are back to discussing (indirect) subsidies for imported gas - hoping the EU consumer wins. In reality everyone - except the LNG-exporters - loses:
Multiple news outlets are reporting a US attack on an Iranian #desalination plant.
If verified, this violates international law protecting #water systems during wars, and it sets a dangerous precedent, given intense dependence of Gulf countries on desalination.

Da. The western armies carpet bombed then shelled french cities deliberately to kill civilians & then replaced them with Americans as part of 40 yrs of illegal occupation.
But if they did it it was wrong, thus making us doing it right. Finland was enemy cos they defended themselves.
DOOCY: It sounds like the Russians are helping Iran target and attack Americans--
TRUMP: That's an easy problem compared to what we're doing here. What a stupid question that is to be asking at this time. We're talking about something else.
Why wouldn't Donald demand unconditional surrender? It's what he did to Russia.

The 28th regime would become 29th regime
We could soon talk about EU28 again

A special military operation, if you will.
It would be really great, if Entso-E generation data and capacity data would be consistent - especially for solar.
Because of different data-definitions, production in sunny hours can be twice the capacity.
