Trump: WE GOT HIM! He sustained injuries, but he will be just fine. The fact that we were able to pull off both of these operations, without a SINGLE American killed, or even wounded, just proves once again, that we have achieved overwhelming Air Dominance and Superiority over the Iranian skies.

The reason i think this “walk away” has to be BS is that this effectively lets Iran control the price of oil. They let enough oil flow to stave off humanitarian issues but not enough to make prices go down below a massive pain point for Trump before the midterms. The Russians want high oil prices. The Chinese care more about making Trump look weak than 6 months of $90 oil. This is a midterm shellacking waiting to happen already, ceding control of oil prices to the IRGC is unfathomable to me.

BREAKING: Trump has told aides he is willing to 'end the U.S. military campaign against Iran even if the Strait of Hormuz remains largely closed', according to Wall Street Journal report.

Is intelligence more like a tower (which you can keep making taller far beyond the human level) or like a ball (which you can only make so much rounder)? (See next tweet for context.)

NOW - Trump: "Cuba is next, by the way. But pretend I didn't say that, please."

Starting Thursday, we'll be updating our revenue sharing incentives to better reward the content we want on X: We will be giving more weight to impressions from your home region—to encourage content that resonates with people in your country, in neighboring countries and people who speak your language. While we appreciate everyone's opinion on American politics, we hope this will disincentivize gaming the attention of US or Japanese accounts and instead, drive diverse conversations on the platform. We invite creators to start building an audience locally. X will be a much richer community when there's relevant posts for people in all parts of the world.

They should just bite the bullet and air drop weapons. That will bring this war to end right quick. With Chinese resupply, there is just no possibility of winning the interdiction war at all. So the aggressors will just have to cut their losses. This is the cleanest, quickest way to impose order in the gulf. Dependence on a great power also means that Iran does not need to keep reaching for the Hormuz weapon. Great power intervention is the shortest possible path to a stable order that ensures the security of Iran, the oil monarchies and Israel. The Israelis and the Americans wagered everything on raining death and destruction. That wager has now failed. The Americans now see no way out. Will China step up? Or will it remain isolationist like the US in the 1930s? We know how that ended. If the Chinese believe that they can do nothing win here, they are wrong. This will blow up the world economy and generate forces that will come back to bite everyone, including them.
