Nuclear experts undercut White House claims about Iran reactor at heart of case for war The Trump administration sent negotiators without nuclear expertise to lead talks on Iran’s enrichment program. Now, its public case for war centers on a facility that experts say cannot do what offic...

This is a technical story with stunning strategic implications. It is quite possible the US launched a massive war because Jared Kushner and Steve Witkoff lacked the technical expertise to even understand what the Iranians were offering in negotiations. Absolute idiocy.

Is Tucker suggesting that white people should go back to where they originally came from? Leave the US, Canada, Australia, New Zealand and South Africa? Novel concept.

Rules of war are not stupid. They do not make you weak. They are what separates the good guys from the bad guys.

This is a real video from the official White House account on a war that is currently killing people. I don’t know how the US is going to come back from this.

Not killing hundreds of school girls is woke.

What a complete embarrassment. These people are children. And psychopaths.

Anthropic should move their company offshore and support the rest of the (non-fascist) world.

If you’re an organisation that uses Palantir’s services, this is what you’re paying for.

The concentration camps will not only be for immigrants, documented or otherwise. They already aren't.

They won't only be for brown and Black people.

The targets will keep expanding. It will not end.

The only way it will is if we stop it. Both in and out of the system. There is no other way.

Not a single strategic goal has been met. Russia's losing a Vietnam's worth of soldiers every few months. The economy is sprinting toward stagnation, while Moscow is turning more and more every month into a Chinese vassalβ€”all while the Kremlin's allies topple elsewhere.

Staggering historic failure.

I feel like we've all lost sight of the fact of the sheer magnitude of the failure of Putin's latest offensive, i.e. the one that began in 2024β€”mainly because it's been so baked into the day-to-day.

Far and away the least successful offensive we've seen in not just years, but decades.

1/ Russia is reportedly proposing a wide-ranging economic partnership with the Trump administration, including joint cooperation to push fossil fuels as an alternative to Chinese and European clean energy solutions, in opposition to curbing climate change. ⬇️
