My idea of a good time is working with amazing engineers to create incredible technology 🤩
The Tesla chip research fab will have all the machines needed to do logic, memory, packing & masks in one building for a lightning fast development cycle. Heaven 💫

Il @Corriere celebra in prima pagina che (per la sesta volta) la Sapienza di Roma sarebbe "prima" negli "studi classici" (in realta' "Classics and Ancient History", se ho capito bene) in una delle mille classifiche universitarie che girano per il mondo...
Questo da' la misura non solo di un sistema universitario fallito ma di una classe "dirigente" ridicola.
Il patriottismo e' l'opposto del celebrare le proprie miserie.

BREAKING: President Trump just released the footage. The most secretive bomber in the American arsenal hitting the most valuable military real estate in Iran. And he wants the world to watch.
The video published on Truth Social shows B-2 Spirit stealth bombers conducting precision strikes on Kharg Island’s military infrastructure. Runway cratering charges tear the airbase apart in sequential detonations. Multiple explosions bloom across IRGC missile launch sites, coastal defence batteries, radar installations, and garrison facilities. The footage is steady, clinical, and unmistakable. The bombs are 2,000-pound JDAMs, GPS-guided GBU-31 and GBU-32 variants, the same munitions that cratered Iraqi airfields in 2003 and Afghan command centres for two decades. They are dropped by an aircraft that Iran’s air defence network cannot detect, track, or engage.
The oil terminals are visible in every frame. They are untouched.
That is the message. Not the destruction. The restraint. Ninety percent of Iran’s crude exports flow through those terminals. The loading jetties stand. The storage tanks are full. The infrastructure that funds the IRGC, that pays for the Shaheds, that finances the Mosaic Doctrine’s 31 autonomous commands, that underwrites every mine on the seabed of Hormuz, is intact and one presidential decision from joining the rubble surrounding it.
The B-2 Spirit was designed to penetrate Soviet air defence networks during nuclear war. It carries 40,000 pounds of ordnance inside a flying wing with a radar cross-section smaller than a bird. Twenty aircraft exist. Each costs $2.1 billion. The United States sent its most expensive, most classified, most capable strategic asset to crater a runway on a 20-square-kilometre island in the Persian Gulf because the message required the messenger. A B-52 could have dropped the same JDAMs. An F-15E could have cratered the same runway. The B-2 was chosen because its presence means Iran had no warning, no interception opportunity, and no defence. The bombs arrived before the sound.
The runway cratering is tactically decisive. A cratered runway cannot launch aircraft, receive resupply, or evacuate personnel. The IRGC garrison of 250 to 500 personnel is now isolated on an island whose military defences have been destroyed, whose airstrip is inoperable, and whose only remaining value is the oil infrastructure the United States deliberately chose not to destroy. The garrison cannot be reinforced by air. It cannot project force by sea because the IRGC Navy is at the bottom of the Gulf. It exists on an island that America controls from the sky while Iran controls from the ground, and the ground shrinks every hour the runway stays cratered.
The footage itself is a weapon. Trump did not release it for documentation. He released it for deterrence. Every IRGC commander watching the video sees an aircraft they cannot detect delivering ordnance they cannot stop onto an island they cannot defend. Every Iranian decision-maker watching the terminals standing untouched beside the rubble understands the conditional: the restraint is voluntary. The next strike does not need to be restrained.
The strategy emerging from the strike, the Marines deployment, and the Kharg footage is sequential strangulation. Destroy the military capacity to defend the island. Crater the runway to isolate the garrison. Deploy the Tripoli ARG with 2,500 Marines and F-35Bs for air superiority and potential amphibious seizure. Hold the oil terminals as leverage for a war-ending negotiation in which Iran’s 90% export revenue becomes the ransom for every American objective: open the Strait, surrender the uranium, dismantle the enrichment programme.
Iran’s crown jewel is no longer Iran’s. It is a hostage sitting on a cratered runway surrounded by rubble, guarded by a garrison that cannot be reinforced, watched by an aircraft it cannot see, and one decision away from ceasing to exist.

BREAKING: President Trump just put a gun to the head of 90% of Iran’s oil revenue and pulled the trigger on everything around it. “Moments ago, at my direction, the United States Central Command executed one of the most powerful bombing raids in the History of the Middle East, and totally obliterated every MILITARY target in Iran’s crown jewel, Kharg Island.” That is the President’s exact language on Truth Social tonight. Every military target. Obliterated. The coastal missile batteries. The anti-ship missile installations. The radar sites. The short-range air defence systems. The IRGC garrison of 250 to 500 personnel. The fast attack craft support. The naval mines infrastructure. Everything that defended the island, destroyed. Everything that makes the island valuable, deliberately spared. The oil terminals are still standing. The loading jetties are intact. The storage tanks are full. Ninety percent of Iran’s crude exports flow through those terminals. Trump left them untouched and told Iran why: “for reasons of decency.” Then he added the threat that makes decency conditional: if Iran interferes with free and safe passage through the Strait of Hormuz, the oil infrastructure goes next. This is the chequebook doctrine made operational. For fifteen days, this campaign has identified three layers governing the war: the nuclear programme is the existential minimum, the Strait is the clock, and the oil infrastructure is the chequebook. The chequebook was deliberately spared to control what gets rebuilt, by whom, and under what conditions. Tonight, Trump confirmed it. Kharg’s military defences are rubble. Kharg’s oil terminals are leverage. The island that handles Iran’s entire export economy now sits defenceless, its military guardians obliterated, its revenue infrastructure intact but held hostage to a single condition: open the Strait. The calculus Iran faces is unprecedented. The 31 autonomous IRGC commands that have been firing continuously for fifteen days just lost their forward defensive position in the northern Gulf. The coastal batteries that could threaten tanker escorts are destroyed. The radar that tracked shipping approaches is destroyed. The fast boats that laid mines operated from Kharg support facilities that are destroyed. The island that was Iran’s shield has been turned into America’s hostage. Iran’s oil cannot flow without Kharg. Iran’s military can no longer defend Kharg. And the man who ordered Kharg’s military annihilation has told Iran that the oil infrastructure joins it if the Strait does not open. The Supreme Leader who ordered the Strait permanently closed from a hospital bed just received the response: the terminals that fund his war are one presidential order from becoming the same rubble as the missile batteries that used to protect them. Brent will react within hours. The sparing of oil infrastructure should limit the immediate spike, but the threat converts every future Iranian provocation in Hormuz into a potential trigger for the destruction of 90% of Iran’s export revenue. The war premium is no longer about whether oil flows. It is about whether Trump decides to let it flow. The war began with an assassination. It escalated through mines, drones, and burning tankers. It crossed the nuclear threshold at Parchin. It crossed the alliance threshold at Incirlik. Tonight, it crossed the revenue threshold at Kharg. The existential minimum is the uranium in Pickaxe Mountain. The existential leverage is the oil terminal standing untouched on an island where everything else has been destroyed. Iran’s crown jewel just became America’s hostage. The ransom is the Strait of Hormuz. Full analysis - open.substack.com/pub/shanakaans…

A powerful scene in the Odyssey happens when Odysseus finally returns to Ithaca after twenty years of war and wandering.
You would expect the story to end with celebration, with the hero coming home, the family reunited, and order restored.
Homer does something far stranger.

🇦🇪The UAE’s defense architecture represents an enviable model of strategic foresight. In my analysis (in Italian) you can find empirical evidences on how to deter and respond on the #Iran attacks! A six-layer air defense architecture: Result: 96% rate against missiles and drones
