My bar for present day journalists and the Guardian specifically is pretty low. The goal for the Guardian is apparently to get clicks and advance their agenda. Journalism and real news reporting is apparently dead. My commentary is more on

How long does it take to look at the coordinates programmed into the cruise missiles? Or to review existing satellite imagery for the location and other intelligence sources? If this was a school (which seems likely at this point) and if th

You're not wrong but what we can tell from open sources is: - The building does seem to have actually been a school and "detached" from the rest of the military complex. - The school the Iranians claim it was does seem to exi

Check out this example: https://www.bbc.com/news/articles/cjw4egp7lwno "As we pass through Khan Shaykhun, we come across a street painted in the colours of the Iranian flag. It leads to a school building that

I couldn't find a web site for the school when I searched for one and I also noticed that while schools are generally marked on Google Maps in Iran this school was not. Both are IMO not really relevant or reliable sources of targeting

You're trying to convince a flat-earther with logic or physics. Western democracies are evil. Worse than China and worse than North Korea. The answer is Marxism. EDIT: This reminds me of a Russian person I used to work with. He truly b

Arabic countries barely tolerated Jews as second class citizens under Islamic rule. That is the truth. What you're regurgitating here is the nonsense. If life was so great for the Jews under Arabic rulers where are the communities of

I meant to say if Israel really wanted it then it already had it. It is a requirement under international law to let civilians evacuate areas where fighting is happening. If Israel accomodates that then they're engaging in ethnic clean

Well it's hard to say. But I meant more or less since WW-II or modern times.

I don't think we're crying wolf. Part of the game played here by the people that hate Jews is to attack the meaning of this word and they are being successful at it. Distortion of words and language is part of the tool set used by

Here I'm not ignoring you though I probably should. The problem is you're providing cover for the antisemites even if you're not one yourself (which isn't clear at this point). They will fly under your cover pretending t

I don't think Iran can take a sustained air campaign for that long. They talk like they can but they can't. The only thing they have right now is their remaining ballistic missile (and to some extent) drone launch capabilities but

I agree. He's missing a lot. If the US ends up with some measure of success this is a big counter to China and Russia. Is this some sort of 4D chess by Donald Trump. Probably not. But it can still have good outcomes. Are there risks? S

Those days people that hate Jews claiming they're "only anti-Zionists" are being white washed while synagogues are shot at and people displaying anything Jewish are attacked on the streets in western countries. Antisemitism i

Also the Kurds are very much aware how quickly the US abandoned them in Syria where they joined the fight on ISIS and now are left as a gift to new Syrian regime.

Israel isn't "annexing southern Lebanon". Israel already controlled southern Lebanon and withdrew. Even recently Israel was deeper in southern Lebanon and withdrew - and is now paying the price for that. Israel was already in

Hawaii gets a lot of rain. IIRC there are some places that are amongst the highest rainfall anywhere. I experienced a flash flood on Maui near Hana. We were hiking there with no rain when we started and turned into torrential rain. Quite an

I went through these and am pretty happy with the results. Mostly to counter the crowding of the teeth that happens naturally as you age. As you probably know you're going to have to wear retainers at night for the rest of your life if

Maybe there need to be some adjustments but we also have to acknowledge that the world has evolved and there have to be some response to that. In the "old days" when all we had is telephone law enforcement could wiretap your phone

Israel is a pretty small country as I'm sure you know. The northern border is about 60km wide. As I understand it the big problem with drones coming from the north is that they are programmed to fly through valleys and the topography i

Israel is very much a different story. Hamas initiated the last war like Russia initiated their war on Ukraine. Israel, as a country, ignoring the fringe right, has had no desire to either have war or expand its borders. Israel simply wants

You're not wrong but neither am I. Both of these factors are relevant as is the break up of the USSR. And maybe even climate change. And globalization? I'm not sure I would use the term "empire" to refer to the USA. It w
