@robertwrighter @AKDay89 yes, this seems kind of obvious and one of those things many people know but won't say out of loud for fear of being called you-know-what.

@AKDay89 I have doubts about how much optimism there was in the Israeli govt that a democratic uprising would ensue and succeed. I think maybe this narrative--"We were too optimistic"--is just a better story line for them than "We conned your president," which may be closer to the truth.

Another example of that high-value intelligence we get from Israel, I guess. The CIA doubted that a war would quickly lead to a democratic uprising against the Iranian regime. But Israel's Mossad was optimistic it could spur regime change. Trump listened to the Israelis.

NEW from @nytimes: Netanyahu embraced a plan by the Mossad chief to ignite a regime change uprising in Iran for a quick victory. He used it to help convince Trump to start the war — despite doubts among some senior US and Israeli officials. It was a critical flaw in war plans.

One way out of this mess and one that would bring peace to the region is if Trump were to gift Iran a handful of nukes.

I hear a noise in the middle of the night and grab the baseball bat I keep by the bed. My assailant is Muttiah Muralitharan and I am woefully misprepared.

@_carlbeijer lmao at this loser scrambling to find vindication in classical texts
English
Bad misreading here. Aurelius is counseling against becoming lost in moral semantics / abstractions, against reflection on what being good "is like." It's a critique of the Sophists. But he clearly sees introspection as part of being a good man; he just wants it to be practical.
