BOMBSHELL: Jake Sullivan reveals that just days before the US started bombing Iran, Tehran put a massive peace proposal on the table in Geneva. The US negotiators "simply didn't understand what they were being offered" and bombed them anyway!
McChrystal made himself incredibly wealthy by creating a consulting firm that peddles the MDMP to greedy Silicon Valley techbros like it is some sort of revelatory approach to business. The ignorant techbros lap it up like kittens to cream. They puff out their chests thinking they earned a Green Beret in management, their business is the same, and McChrystal moves on to the next mark. He trades military honor for filthy lucre. Illegal? No. Dishonorable? In my opinion, yes. Feel free to disagree, but I've run in both worlds in a way few others ever have. I know of what I speak. Forgive me if I give zero credence to this man smearing the choice of the American electorate via a neo-Marxist propaganda rag.
Are you stupid or just bigoted? 1) The old 'Islam isn't a race' line is dumb and lazy because Muslims are largely a racial minority in the West. 2) Cleese never demonized Christians in real life or suggested they're not part of Britain.
Bessent to @kwelkernbc: “In essence, we are jujitsuing the Iranians. We are using their own oil against them.”

🇮🇷🇺🇸🇬🇧 Iran just proved its missiles can reach far beyond the Middle East Iran fired two intermediate-range ballistic missiles at Diego Garcia, a joint U.S.-UK military base sitting 4,000 kilometers away in the middle of the Indian Ocean. Neither hit the base, but the message landed harder than any warhead could. Tehran has always publicly claimed its missile range tops out at 2,000 km. This strike attempt doubles that number overnight. The Khorramshahr-4 that likely carried out the attack can also deliver cluster warheads, the same munitions that have been devastating Israeli cities for three weeks. Look at the map. A 4,000 km range from Tehran draws a circle that reaches Paris, London, and most of Europe. Every NATO capital that thought this war was a distant Middle Eastern problem just realized Iranian missiles could theoretically reach their doorstep. Source: @sentdefender WSJ
According to the Wall Street Journal, citing multiple U.S. officials, Iran has targeted the joint U.S.-UK base at Diego Garcia in the Indian Ocean with two intermediate-range ballistic missiles (IRBM). According to the report, one missile failed in flight whilst the other was engaged by a U.S. destroyer utilizing an SM-3 interceptor, but a successful interception was not confirmed. None of the missiles hit the base. This is notable as Iranian long-range precision fires have not previously been publicly assessed as having the range to hit such a target as Diego Garcia, as the base is some 4,000 kilometers from Iran proper.
This kind of stuff happens during war. We should be on guard.
