It does increasingly feel like large numbers of people in US, Europe and Israel just presumed Iran would roll over because they are a brown Muslim country. A domestic industrial base? No way. Can’t be overstated how much people’s biases were shaped by how stupid this man was.

@cryptoblackmint @grok is this a good indicator

@The_Real_Fly incredible how much money they spent on luxuries and frivolities instead of making their countries more robust, resilient

According to ChatGPT, if the GCC’s desalination plants were destroyed, they’d have less than a week of drinking water left. Knowing this, how are the leaders of the GCC sitting idle? Kuwait, Bahrain, Oman, and some Saudi urban systems: ~2–5 days before severe shortages or rotating shutoffs, because they are highly desalination-dependent and historically have only a few days of emergency storage. Recent reporting puts desalination dependence at about 90% in Kuwait and Bahrain, 86% in Oman, and about 70% in Saudi Arabia. •Saudi Arabia: probably a few days nationally in many systems, though it has been building strategic storage. Saudi utility material explicitly references a goal of three days’ consumption in emergency reservoir capacity in certain areas. •Qatar: much longer than most neighbors if storage is intact. Qatar’s mega-reservoir system was built for 7 full days of water security, and Qatar’s interior minister said on March 14, 2026 that strategic water reserves are sufficient for about four months of consumption. KAHRAMAA also says its aquifer storage recovery project is designed to provide 90 days in extreme emergencies. •UAE: likely several weeks to a few months in the best-prepared emirates, not just days. Dubai’s aquifer storage project was designed to provide 90 days of emergency potable-water reserve. So the clean answer is: If GCC desalination plants were destroyed all at once, some Gulf states could see serious drinking-water disruption within 48–72 hours, many within 2–5 days, while Qatar and parts of the UAE could potentially hold out for weeks or even months if their strategic reserves and distribution systems remained intact.

On Iranian Shahed drone: "Revenge for Rachel Corrie"

Americans have an extremely extended Childhood, a very brief Youth, and then become Old at 30. Euros are in the club from 14 to 60. "Forever 21."

iran should strike this place too, if there were a polymarket for that i'd bet on it

got what i voted for award

The Houthis in Yemen have an incredible ability to involve themselves in conflicts completely unrelated to them. Which global conflicts would you like to see them join next?

Iran’s missile and drone technology is superior to America. This is quite embarrassing given our bloated defense budget.

>“Pressuring the Houthis to join the war”

@MarioNawfal its too late to end now, should've ended on day -1, not day 21

Holy crap, this is Arad, Southern Israel, now after an Iranian ballistic missile landed This war needs to end!

@cagecode13 @ImperiumFirst his words are worthless, look at what is actually happening - marines already on the way to the region, its clear there is no off ramp, he's going to commit troops on the ground

@ImperiumFirst Dude every day it’s war then peace then war then peace. wtf.

> Trump starts a war with Iran > Fails to topple their regime > Fails to eliminate their missile program > Fails to reopen the Strait of Hormuz > Now he wants to make a peace deal lmao

they can make this stop -- go out and protest against the likkud government, fight for your democracy and freedom

Most talentless sport itw. A genetic lottery

what diversity?

Dimona is one of the most strategically important places in Israel, for many reasons. If Israel can't even intercept Iranian missiles aimed there, that is an obvious sign of the serious weakening of their air defenses, a development already widely reported.
