@dsilver88 No they couldn't. At least 2, maybe 3 years away from being a top 8 team and Cup contender (unless you're talking McJesus or McKinnon in their prime years, not at 20). Flyers need more experience, shore up depth, deepen defense, backup goalie.

If you could create a good 1C out of thin air and put him on the Flyers roster I think certainly next year they could be a Cup contender That's Danny's job this summer, figure it out

@nikitsh @yashar @AlanEyre1 It's like saying he got rid of the good SS officers.

@yashar @AlanEyre1 Trump is right: he has changed the regime by strengthening the hardliners.

President Trump says that the regime has been changed in Iran and that the leaders in charge now are very different from the ones who were causing problems before. Trump added, “Let’s see how they turn out,” referring to the current crop of leaders in Iran. The president also said that the war has been won and that the only people who want to keep it going are “the fake news.” Finally, he said the current regime in Iran “gave us a present,” adding that it was related to oil and gas.

@yashar Grandpa is drooling again. The leaders in charge are the same assholes as the ones that have been killed. Bibi is just hoping to keep the bunker busters flying as long as he can, and stockpile munitions for the next phase.

@MOSSADil Did she mention that Hamas adamantly refuses to dis-arm and is using violence to retain control and extort money in Gaza?

‼️ SELECTIVELY CONCERNED BRITISH FM WARNS GAZA IS BEING OVERLOOKED British FM Yvette Cooper is “deeply concerned” the Iran war is distracting from Gaza and violence in Judea and Samaria… apparently the only issue in the region worth worrying about. “I am particularly concerned at the moment about what is happening in the West Bank. I am also deeply concerned about the Gaza 20-point plan process being kept on track exactly because of the wider conflict in the Middle East.” Right. Nothing says “wider conflict” like ignoring the regime fueling it. Iran’s IRGC has spent years backing proxy groups and destabilizing the region —but sure, let’s pretend this all just… appeared out of nowhere. The same Iranian regime she barely mentions has been condemned for brutal crackdowns, killings of protesters, and widespread human rights abuses. But yes, clearly the real problem is that people aren’t talking about Gaza enough. Stay connected, follow @MOSSADil.

@inside_IL_intel This of course, is raving nonsense. As the Romans discovered, the further out you push your borders, the closer you are to your new enemies. The only solution is to crush Hezbollah and allow Lebanon to become a real state.

🔥🔥🔥 At a good hour - after endless urgings - we are starting to straighten out our new territory, up to the Litani River. The enemy villages are being erased, like in Gaza, and no trace will remain of them. We want the fencing of our territory on the Litani, and the removal of the last subjects of the enemy. The fearless Minister of Defense, Israel Katz, officially announced today: the hundreds of thousands who fled from the south to the Litani - will not be allowed to return, until there is security for the citizens of Israel at the old border, meaning they will never return again. And the basket of national achievements - is starting to fill up! Settling the new territories - is a rare opportunity! The kibbutz movement, the moshav movement, where are you? Time for your renewal, with new kibbutzim and moshavim in our new and beautiful territory. Everything is ours. 🚨🚨New on Gplanet: Negotiations, with whom, about what, and what are the chances?

@KobeissiLetter Please, I don't know who is more delusional, Musk or Trump. Musk has repeatedly made ridiculous claims, designed to pump up his stock, that are either gross exaggerations or vaporware. It costs nothing to make these sort of claims, but gullible investors respond positively.

BREAKING: Elon Musk announces that Tesla and SpaceX will jointly build an advanced chip manufacturing plant in Austin, Texas. Details include: 1. Musk says the “Terafab” site will include two fabs, one for Tesla’s AI and one for SpaceX’s space-based data centers 2. Musk aims for the plant to produce 1 terawatt of computing power annually, 2x current US capacity 3. Musk says current suppliers can not meet future needs for Tesla and SpaceX The AI Revolution is accelerating.

@GalvinAlmanza At least in law firms 80-90% of associates are gone within 5 years. The "golden children" are identified early and the others just run up billable hours. Same with consulting and VCs, etc. So you'd eliminate the make work employees - 80 hour works weeks are more about hazing.

I don't get how people are planning to sidestep the very basic problem that if you don't have junior hires right now, you won't have experienced people 5 or 10 years later.

@andrewmichta Regime change, if TACO doesn't fold. Israel, UAE, SA are in agreement. Otherwise: "meet the new boss, same as the old boss . . ."

“We’re in a tough spot, ladies and gentlemen,” Mattis said. “I can’t identify a lot of options.” Spot on — wars are not about how many targets you can destroy; they are about political outcomes you want to achieve. What’s the strategy? politico.com/news/2026/03/2…

@BillKristol No. It's time to double down and go for regime change. Irrespective of the original decision, there's a real opportunity to make a permanent change that will make the world a better place. This isn't Iraq, the Iranian people would jump at the chance if it's provided.

"Trump’s Iran war has turned out to be unsuccessful and unpopular. Yesterday Trump signaled retreat...It’s important to take advantage of the moment. It’s important to hold Trump accountable for his reckless and incompetent war and emphasize its costs." open.substack.com/pub/thebulwark…

@KobeissiLetter A democratic Persia would be the dominant economic power in the region, given both oil and the diaspora talent. And a nightmare for Russia, aligning with Azerbaijan, Armenia, etc. as a southern bulwark against Russian expansion

BREAKING: Saudi Arabia's Prince Mohammed bin Salman has been "pushing" President Trump to continue the war against Iran, per NYT. Saudi's Mohammed bin Salman says: 1. The US-Israeli military campaign presents a “historic opportunity” to remake the Middle East 2. Iran poses a "long-term threat" to the Gulf that can only be eliminated by getting rid of the government 3. The US should consider putting troops in Iran to seize energy infrastructure and force the government out of power The Iran War is nearing its one-month mark.

@emilykschrader Kill them all, let Allah sort them out. You don't eradicate part of a cancer. Free Persia!

Well, that will take a while given that all of them — reformist and hardliner, are Khomeinist at the end of the day

@polyglotme @DanielBordmanOG So it's better to leave civilians so Hezbollah can embed themselves and create large scale civilian casualties? Hezbollah started this "war" by attacking Israel on behalf of Iran - new Israeli doctrine after Oct 7 - if you state you're going to kill us, we take it seriously.

@DanielBordmanOG a few things: since WW II, we have these new int'l laws called the 1949 Geneva Convention & its additional protocol. you might want to read up on them. & Israel didn't just blow up bridges, it ethnically cleansed several hundred thousand people, & leveled entire villages.

If you think blowing up a bridge is a war crime you are the problem. The final scene in Saving Private Ryan is about blowing up a bridge. Denying your enemy the ability to move heavy equipment over a river is not against the Geneva convention or whatever.

@NiohBerg That will certainly have a lot of approval in places like Texas.

Israel should stop promoting itself as a "liberal startup nation with pride parades" (no westerner cares) and just post random guys like this more often.

@Osint613 Translation: We bet on the wrong horses, now we want to cut our losses. Tough days for an Islamist supporter without a functional army surrounded by pissed off neighbors.

Qatar foreign ministry spokesperson: We will live next to each other and we will be neighbors, and we have to find a way to live next to each other.

@SKordasti That's why they want to cut a deal. They'll sacrifice Hezbollah, even the missiles, if they can retain the mechanism for internal repression - they can always rebuild missiles and proxies with oil money. Which is why Israel, SA, UAE want to continue the war until regime change.

For the first time, I heard in the mainstream media the accurate and real reason for the resistance of the mullahs and IRGC in Iran: “They’re fighting for their existence. They know that if they if they lose this war, their biggest problem will not be American bombs from the air. Their biggest problem will be their own citizens, (they) will hanging them from lampposts in Tehran. You know, they’ve done so much damage to their own country and their own people for so long that there’s a lot of resentment built up there they can’t afford to show any weakness.” #IranWar‌

@McFaul The fundamental problem is Trump doesn't like Democracy. He wants pliable leaders who'll cut deals with him, so he can boast of his prowess. He is profoundly ignorant of history, economics and foreign cultures, so totally clueless when it comes to foreign relations.

Maybe. But right now, the dictatorships that were in place at the beginning of the second Trump administration are all in place now. All 3 places. A change in leaders is not a change in regime. In 1989, communist regimes became democratic regimes. But more drama to come.

@ekdouc @McFaul Having been a USAID advisor, the impact of economists is greatly exaggerated. The real problem is these new states lacked the institutions or culture to function, corruption was the norm, cultivated under Communism. Takes time to build institutions, middle class, private sector

@McFaul Actually, under the guidance of US economists, many of those former communist nations became hollowed out oligarchies with economies and population-wide health outcomes that still haven’t recovered from shock therapy.

@Noahpinion Progressives are 15% of vote, moderate Dems 25%, Independents 20-25%. If you want lasting policy change, you need supermajority of close to 60%, take House, Senate, majority of governors and the WH. To do so, you have to win majority of Independent vote.

Donald Trump is flailing and failing. But if Democrats don't strategically moderate on progressive social movements, their victory in the 2026 midterms might be short-lived. noahpinion.blog/p/there-isnt-a…

@IsserSteve @Osint613 UAE don’t have a realistic threatening army

I heard from Dr. Kedar today that in 2017, MBS said taking Qatar would be quick and easy. No full scale invasion would be needed. “We wouldn’t need tanks, we can do it with jeeps”
