À ce stade je pense qu’on peut officiellement caractériser le déclenchement de cette guerre comme la décision géopolitique la plus stupide et mal préparée de l’histoire, surpassant Napoléon III en 1870

Vous avez intérêt à voter dimanche pour qu'on éclate l'extrême droite aux municipales. N'oubliez pas que les maires votent aux sénatoriales alors ne laissez pas les institutions se nazifier sans rien faire. C'est le plus simple des actes antifascistes : glisser un bulletin, même socdem, dans l'urne.

This thread is unfortuantely aging like fine wine, or perhaps fine spirits that someone's set on fire and thrown at an oil tanker.

Every day that goes by any sense that the US can just TACO and turn the crisis off gets weaker.

I was in a 2 hour briefing today on the Iran War. All the briefings are closed, because Trump can't defend this war in public.

I obviously can't disclose classified info, but you deserve to know how incoherent and incomplete these war plans are.

My overall take on discourse is that everyone, including journalists, is entitled to their opinion, criticism often looks unfair to those on the receiving end, and professional politicians worry much less about NYT headlines than Bluesky posters think…

I don’t think that’s what he’s doing.

That Republican talking point IS out there and so Democrats need a good response to it, which they do, and so it’s good to ask the question and platform Murphy’s response. I’m not in Tapper’s head, I don’t know what he thinks, but I think it’s irrelevant here.

Have you considered that his question sets Murphy up to deliver his message very efficiently and that might be on purpose?

‘Race of attrition’: US military’s finite interceptor stockpile is being tested Iran's barrage of ballistic missiles and suicide drones threaten to deplete the U.S. military's finite number of interceptor missiles, experts warn.

The depletion rate of interceptors will impact Ukraine’s capability, with more & more air defense systems are shifted to Gulf allies as the war against Iran drags on. Even if U.S. and Israel reach their tactical goals in the Middle East, we’re looking at a strategic collapse in Eastern Europe.

I am sure French special forces have the capacity to raid Mar-a-lago, arrest Trump, and drag him to The Hague. It’s not rocket science.

I understand the Democratic Party’s talking point, but the attack on Iran is not bad just because he did not get congressional approval.

It is bad because, in decreasing order of importance, it kills innocent civilians, risks destabilizing the Middle East, and is against international and U.S. law.
