@HugoatedChavez Just because Israel and the US lie doesn't mean Iran is honest. And they genuinely seem to have significantly decentralized their military response in significant ways to avoid decapitation, so just because nobody at the top ordered a strike doesn't mean it wasn't one of theirs.

@SperginGeneral @adamjohnsonCHI Hmm who do i believe, the people who lie when they dont even need to or iran… difficult choice

well that’s intriguing.

@esseremercedes Unfortunately the debt's going to grow by more than 5% too so it won't.

@MikeDorning @business @TheTerminal literally inflating away the debt.

Investors are now betting overall US inflation over the next 12 months will surge above 5%. Implied inflation rate from 1 year breakeven, per Bloomberg @business @TheTerminal

@Jamsbuildameri1 If it's too deep to penetrate with missiles, good luck getting special forces in and out.

@IngrahamAngle Would it be boots on the ground if the troops jumped off a helicopter, blew it up and got flown out immediately?

“There may be NO good airstrike option.” Andrea Stricker says the Pickaxe Mountain nuclear facility may be too deep to destroy from the air. “That could force a special forces operation — going inside the complex to eliminate it once the regime is further degraded.”

@WillManidis I'm not sure it did say they do crime. I think the point was that the current regulatory system allows it.

a trillion dollars spent on ai risk teams and no one thought to hard code into the model to not tell Bernie Sanders that you do crime

@LAXMANS57709800 The only country that loves sucking Israel off more than the US is India.

@OunkaOnX Netanyahu: They spoke of hundreds of towers falling in Jerusalem, Tel Aviv, and Haifa—but the towers that are falling are in Beirut and Tehran. We have transformed the Middle East beyond recognition.

Qatar's PM: "This war needs to stop immediately. Everyone knows who the main beneficiary of this war is." Qatar's PM told the world, this war serves someone's interests. And that someone is not in Tehran, Washington, or Doha — it's in Tel Aviv.

@ajaax75 @clashreport Well they just shot down an F-35, so probably the part about air defenses not even shooting anymore.

@clashreport Which part is a lie?

Trump lies: Their Navy is gone. Their Air Force is gone. Their anti-aircraft equipment is gone. We’re flying wherever we want. Nobody is even shooting at us.

@MaskedMan1947 If someone tells you to leave your house and then shoots you if you stay should that be legal?

@clashreport Israel earlier issued the warning for civilians to leave. What was he doing there?

WATCH: Israeli missile strike lands very near Russia Today reporter in Lebanon.

@Detasseled You have to realize if millions of Mexicans started starving they'd show up at the border. Like even if you genuinely don't care about humanity, it would be a border crisis like you've never seen before.

@balajis So less fertilizer means less food for China and Muslims? Also, no oil for Middle East economies? Gosh darn it.

I'm going to make some obvious points. (1) Blowing up all the oil infrastructure in the Middle East is an insane idea, and may well result in a global economic crash and humanitarian crisis unrivaled in the lives of those now living. We're talking about the price of everything everywhere rising, from food to gas, at a moment when inflation was already high. All of that will be laid at the feet of the authors of this war. (2) The antebellum status quo of Feb 27, 2026 was just not that bad, but we're unlikely to return to it. Expect indefinite, long-term, ongoing disruptions to everything out of the Middle East. (3) Also assume tech financing crashes for the indefinite future. The genius plan to get the Gulf states caught in the crossfire has incinerated much of the funding for LPs, for datacenters, and for IPOs. Anyone in tech who supported this war may soon learn the meaning of "force majeure" as funding gets yanked. (4) Many capital allocators will instead be allocating much further down Maslow's hierarchy of needs, towards useful basic things like food and energy. (5) It's fortunate that all those progressives yelled about the "climate crisis." Yes, their reasoning about timelines was wrong, and much of the money was wasted in graft, but the result was right: we all need energy independence from the Middle East, pronto. It's also fortunate that Elon and China autistically took climate seriously. Now they're going to need to ship a billion solar panels, electric vehicles, batteries, nuclear power plants, and the like to get everyone off oil, immediately. (6) It's not just an oil and gas problem, of course. It's also a fertilizer problem, and a chemical precursor problem. Maybe some new sources will come online at the new prices, but it takes time to dial stuff up, particularly at this scale, so shortages are almost a certainty. That said, China has actually scaled up coal-to-chemicals[a,c] (C2C), and there's also something more sci-fi called Power-to-X[b] which turns arbitrary power + water + air into hydrocarbons. But all of that will need to get accelerated. I have a background in chemical engineering so may start funding things in this area. (7) Ultimately, this war is going to result in tremendous blame for anyone associated with it. It's a no-win scenario to blow up this much infrastructure for so many people. Simply not worth it for whatever objective they thought they were going to attain. But unless you're actually in a position to stop the madness, the pragmatic thing to do is: scramble to mitigate the fallout to yourself, your business, and your people.

@illegalinvasio1 Another idiot who watched Mad Men and thought Don was the hero. He was pathetic there and clearly lying, clearly threatened by Ginsberg.

@broseph_stalin LOL! Only the emotionally handicapped liberal democrats care whether someone likes them or not because their self esteem is so weak, AMERICANS on the other hand couldn't care less!

CNN: Global global opinion for the US plummets by 79% since it began its war on Iran. Only country hated more is Israel.

@clashreport That's exactly what already happened in January, and they have no remorse. Israel wants to keep feeding Iranian civilians into the meat grinder.

Israel is publicly urging Iranians to revolt, but privately admits protesters would likely be “slaughtered.” Israeli officials say Iran’s regime is “not cracking” and will “fight to the end” If protests erupt, the IRGC “has the upper hand” and would crush them. Despite this, Israel still hopes for an uprising and wants the U.S. ready to support it. U.S. officials now also acknowledge protesters face extreme risk from armed security forces. Source: WaPo

@enzocasFOUR If that wasn't an attempt to surrender, what would be?

@clashreport Sorry, but FAFO. Guy didn’t even try to surrender.

African mercenary begs for mercy before being hit by a Ukrainian drone (location/date unknown).

@luke_veil Have you ever heard of Iraq or Afghanistan? Vietnam? The US is notorious for not having exit plans.

Imagine being so completely low-IQ, and having such a dysfunctional mental model of the world, that you believe the US launched a war and never considered an exit plan. You should be neutered and banned from ever reproducing so as to not propagate your entirely defective genes through the human race.

It is becoming increasingly clear that there is no realistic off-ramp to the current confrontation with Iran. Tehran is trying to create a new strategic reality—one that deters future attacks on Iran. That is why its conditions for ending the conflict are likely to be extremely tough. At the same time, the U.S. and Israel are riding the wave of operational success and still seem to believe that pressure may eventually force the regime to back down. All of this is happening while it becomes increasingly clear that there was no real strategic planning for an exit strategy before the campaign began. But even if Washington and Jerusalem pause the campaign, there is no guarantee Iran will stop—unless Tehran believes the new strategic framework works in its favor. And that is the core problem. There is almost no trust between the sides, which makes it extremely difficult to build a mutually accepted mechanism to stop the escalation. The result is that ending the confrontation may prove far harder than starting it. #IranWar‌

@jake_romm The way he called video evidence blood libel is pretty insane. Words just don't mean anything anymore, they're so addicted to calling any criticism antisemitic that now objective evidence is antisemitic.

The Israeli government has closed the case against the Sde Teiman rapists and torturers Israel is, and has long been, one of the most prolific torture regimes in the world, and torture has become a key method of this genocide As always, justice must & will be sought elsewhere

@AysegullGD The idea of splitting Mashhad into Turkmenistan is retarded, that city alone has almost half the population of Turkmenistan.

@ragipsoylu I saw this map today in an axios article. It doesn't look like a sudden action. More like a backup scenario planned before the war.

“The Kurdish plan” in Iran sounds to me a half baked muse that was suddenly called into action as Trump’s initial decapitation move didn’t produce the results he wanted. I’m sure it could be useful to the US military if there is any ground op, but still not really a banger

@MazMHussain Kurds never learn.

"Iranian Kurdish opposition forces are expected to take part in a ground operation in Western Iran, in the coming days, the senior Iranian Kurdish official told CNN. “We believe we have a big chance now,” the source said, explaining the timing of the operation. The source added the militias expects US and Israeli support." edition.cnn.com/2026/03/03/pol…

@theselongwars_ Unlike the US, Russia can still build new things.

@SperginGeneral @MarkAmesExiled Hasn't Russia expended enough of its arsenal already?

The Israelis want to drag the gullible Trump regime "warrior" meatheads in deeper for a war of total state annihilation, lighting Iranian society on fire wherever they can forcing Trump to double down harder. We're ruled by the dumbest maniacs ever. x.com/TreyYingst/sta…

@gaersstapa They don't deserve it because he's stupid, but he does.

@MahyarTousi >Family lives in Iran >He doesnt >Says his family is pro shah >Says they are pro America and bombing Iran >Iran is on social media >Oh no guys, my family are gone. You are a retard and they deserve whatever happens because of your poor persec.

Can’t get hold of any of my family members in Tehran.

@adamjohnsonCHI I don't think anyone's denying that Trump has free will, just pointing out the broader path dependency issue of American foreign policy being beholden to Israel's interests, which the Trump Administration is for some reason highlighting despite Israel being unpopular now.

Ok but Netanyahu didn’t “box Trump into attacking Iran”. Trump flunkies are saying this is what happened to cover their asses politically but let’s not do MAGA’s work for them by letting them dodge responsibility for the hell they’ve unleashed. No one forced Trump to do anything.
