So Bari Weiss had Niall Ferguson and Dexter Filkins on her podcast today (recorded yesterday noonish) and they speculated that the Iranians could try to get what enriched uranium they have and detonate it in the desert, thereby declaring themselves a nuclear power in an effort to cower a restive populace.  
 

Another interesting tidbit was an expectation Israel will have to put boots on the ground to permanently cripple Fordo.  Filkens said a former Biden official told him the Israeli SF were role playing that a month ago.

So if I’m the leadership of Iran, what exactly is my reasoning for not just launching everything I have in a moment of final glory?

What makes you think they haven’t already?  Israel got to much of their arsenal already.  

So, a query for the MAGAs who claim that Trump is ZOMG the best negotiator ever.....if Iran ends up popping off a nuke (nuclear detonation or dirty bomb), how big a win is that for the master of negotiation, no more wars president?  Like, Super Bowl-level win, right?

What if it's just a good old massive attack on US forces/infrastructure in the region?  Is that just like a wild card win?

Aren't we all getting tired of winning?

Gonna have to disagree with you there. Now I'm inclined to agree that no human being is pure enough that they should be the one to do it, but people being so evil that they deserve to be? Abso-fucking-lutely.

Trump and his family will be enjoying champagne and caviar in a posh underground bunker, while the rest of us on the surface who manage to survive our fifth degree burns will be fighting over cockroaches for food. 

That’s a pretty fucking epic win, wouldn’t you say?

Fighting the cockroaches for food, or fighting over cockroaches AS food?  These things matter, because.....

They’d have to have a nuke to do that. They don’t have a nuke. They’re closer to having one now than they were before Trump tore up the JCPOA, but they still don’t have one.

Not that I can find- and I've looked pretty hard.  Unusual Whales is pretty credible in my experience, particularly regarding stonks.  I'm leaning heavily towards it being untrue though.  Which, honestly would be a relief.  But delete post, ban user and all that...

This is a long-ish read.  And it isn't specific to this thread.  But it's on my mind a lot these days.

That will take nukes. We've proven over and over and over that conventional bombing campaigns aren't enough against a large nation state. 

Remember Shock and Awe? Overpromised, underdelivered.

People don't only get scared when you bomb their friends and families and cities. They also get vengeful.

I see us dusting off the ol' Terror Color Scare Scale and moving it to red.

The level was reported every night on the news until the levels ceased meaning anything and didn't scare anybody enough to keep them from wondering about the wisdom of Homeland Security one day being led by a sycophantic dolt. It had already served its purpose, though. Nobody care about it anymore.

Guy on CNN is reporting that Trump heard all the credit Israel was getting on Fox News for such a clean operation, so then he started calling around and telling everyone that we did know about the attack.  The fucking guy can't have anyone get any praise without trying to hijack it.

And of course Netanyahu knew that when he instigated this.  He knew he could start this and count on Trump's ego to finish it with the bunker busters that Israel doesn't have.

The fat piece of shit got played.  Again.  And he'll go back on his "no war" platform, and it will cost him 0 followers.

Fucking absurd, but also predictable.

bibi says wish a motherfucker would

and that's the thing NO ONE is talking about

israel has nukes

at least 100, maybe 200 warheads

but they have never been acknowledged

the shia have no ally they can guarantee will come to their aid; the russians might, but not in the current (ukrainian entanglement) paradigm

the west counters russia

south asia has a 'mad' lock on nuke use

bibi wants another "new american century pearl harbor" event.....  who counters his nukes, and how?

nothing is a matrix glitch in this timeline.....   remember, the shitgibbon telegraphs his actions in his tweets......

would anyone be surprised by *ANYTHING* that happens tonight or this week?

Israel apparently owns most politicians in this country, from both of our political parties, so I'm not sure having the idiot in there really changes much on Iran/Israel. I suppose a Dem might have counseled more restraint, but then again we didn't exactly see that in Gaza from Biden. 

biden, even at the end, would not have approved the pre-emptive attack whose success criteria required a capability only we could bring to the table

Nope.

Yesterday I asked if Israel might do the unthinkable, and I think people thought I meant a ground war.  I was actually wondering about Israel dropping a nuke on the mountain that the Fordow facility is buried under.  Pretty sure that would work at least as well as a few MOABs, right?  And what are the consequences for Israel?  Harsh words and censures from their allies, and what else?  Nothing.

To be clear, I do not think this is coming.  But to your question above, is *anything* unthinkable right now with a war monger running Israel and a fucking idiot running America?

Personalities can definitely change after a stroke. My dad became much more laid back and less grumpy after he had a stroke. My FIL became much more emotional where he tears up at the drop of a hat when he was completely stoic prior.

anything less than 100mt in a surface device will not vaporize enough of the mountain - the israelis don't have anything that large - only moabs can do it

Hmm, that's good to know.  I guess President Bone Spurs gets to do it.

sunrise in tehran today was 449am local

current time in tehran is 511am

looks like the shia have learned how to trumptroll

If we do help to start a world war, whose side are we on? I assume we are with Israel, Russia and maybe El Salvador?

Serious question
