To me, it's extremely clear that this war is a hostile takeover by the US of the world's energy supply. They are simply building on decades-long policy of killing off the competition (and even "allies"). In exchange for global energy dominance, there is no price too high -- even military humiliation.
Great read.. comparisons w/ Athens and the US with the might makes right arguments are common, but I appreciated the part where they call out the wishful thinking of the Melians.. in that regard I see a lot of Melos in US pronouncements these days
New @RedSailsOrg! Thucydides's Melian Dialogue imagines a powerful Athens and a victimized Melos carrying out a doomed rational negotiation, illustrating how conflict can arise not out of misunderstanding, but out of an irreconciliable clash of interests. redsails.org/the-melian-dia…
The U.S. fought the Korean War to save South Korea. Now, the U.S. has been forced to turn to South Korea to solve the American shipbuilding crisis. cbsn.ws/4dAT6h0
❗️The Iranian terrorist regime launched a long-range missile for the first time since the start of Operation Roaring Lion that could reach a distance of ~4,000 km. During Operation Rising Lion in June 2025, the IDF revealed that the Iranian regime has intentions to develop missiles with a range of 4,000 km, which pose a danger to dozens of countries in Europe, Asia and Africa. The Iranian regime denied this. We have been saying it: The Iranian terrorist regime poses a global threat. Now, with missiles that can reach London, Paris or Berlin. The Iranian terror regime has carried out attacks against 12 countries in the region and is developing a capability that poses a much broader threat.
The Israeli government needs to crack down on this sickening settler terrorism right now before another innocent soul is harmed.
We’re bombing the doors, not the factory. Iran buried its missile complex 500m inside granite near Yazd with rail lines moving TELs between hidden exits. The Massive Ordinance Penetrator can’t reach it. Portals get hit, rails reroute, launches continue. This isn’t resilience—it’s infrastructure built for a 20-year war. Whatever the Defense Department keeps saying we're hitting is likely superficial damage only.
Bessent to @kwelkernbc: “In essence, we are jujitsuing the Iranians. We are using their own oil against them.”
