I’m telling you, Iran is never giving up those nukes. Whatever they were thinking before, this war just made them obsessed.
It’s only natural for them to think, “Man, if we had the nuke bomb none of this would’ve happened.” Just look at North Korea.
They’re stuck in a peninsula with five of the world’s biggest militaries breathing down their necks, but they survive just fine.
Why? Cuz they have a real deterrent. Nukes. This is Iran’s Pearl Harbor or Korean War moment.
Give up the nukes? No way. This war just gave them a reason to never let this happen again. Whatever they say publicly, they’re locked in now.
I bet Koreans will totally back me up on this. What Iran is doing right now is exactly like the North Korean playbook we've been watching for decades.
So it comes down to two choices: either we sit back and watch them get the bomb, or we physically stop them.

@cremieuxrecueil Makes sense. Blue button pushers exhibited greater capacity for a theory of mind for others. Simulating thinking patterns other than your own requires more IQ.
Red and blue button pushers: who's smarter?
In a mostly-subscriber sample who took a brief verbal IQ test, the answer is...
Blue pushers!
If the whole population has an IQ of 100 with an SD of 15, their mean IQ would be 101.9, versus 97.0 for reds.
Respondents were ~85% male, but of those who were female, ~80% went blue!
More interestingly, in total, 61-62% went blue, and, when asked to identify the choice that requires fewer people to save everyone, there was a huge button-partisan gap, equivalent to ~13-14 IQ points!
I got bit by a coral snake on Sunday. med flighted to the ER. Spent almost 3 days in the ICU & bout died lmfao. First pic is me holding it thinking it was a king snake. The rest are the affects. Still rocking nerve damage. But wild getting bit by the most venomous snake in the US
We’ve learned two things from our conflict with Iran:
1. If you turn the other cheek with Iran, they’ll stab you in the neck.
2. President Trump has oranges the size of beach balls.
@prageru Actually, I think the world is waking up to the reality that you have been lying about him the entire time and he actually makes quite a deal of sense.
🚨 BREAKING: U.S. CENTCOM Commander just BRIEFED President Trump about a “FINAL BLOW” to Iran 🚨
Hypersonic DARK EAGLE MISSILES, bombers SURGING, carriers STACKED 🔥
POTUS says “They’re sitting in a CAVE. THEY WANT A DEAL… BADLY” 💣
24 HOURS before the CLOCK EXPIRES! 😳
@glennbeck He's basically saying that the cost of living will rise over the summer and telling his base not to blame Trump.
Because surely, he has nothing to do with it.
If we see food prices and electric bills starting to rise over the summer, it likely won't be because of inflation, policy, or who the President is. It will have everything to do with water.
We are possibly at the beginning of a megadrought cycle that could change America fast. Modern society was built during a relatively wet period, where water was abundant. But we could be returning to a very dry period like the drought of 1610.
Prepare now. Stock food. Grow some if you can.
@glennbeck Such preconditioning nonsense. Prices are going up because the Strait of Hormuz was closed for some bullshit war for Israel, halfcocked. It is 2 months in the making, and it is taking that long for 1) the ships to arrive who left before and 2) to use up reserves. Trump did this.
@BarryGlint@infinite_walrus They are pretending to be heroes when they are actually being foolish
Blue only becomes an issue when the first moron presses it
Life would improve dramatically with less stupid people around
So red is the obvious choice
