@matthew_petti @Emiliezcs You are uncomfortable with ethnic democracy because you live in a military hegemon with the third largest population on earth and will never possibly understand the fears of being a small fish in a large pound.
English

It makes Americans deeply uncomfortable, period.
Evan Rosenfeld@Evan_Rosenfeld
Israel isn’t really a liberal democracy in the way Americans use that term. It’s a democracy. But it’s an ethnic democracy; a Jewish democracy. It’s a concept that makes some American Jews, in particular, deeply uncomfortable.

@tiberiusfiles There is a formal structure limiting nuclear proliferation, enforced by the United States mostly.
Your declaration if this or that right is of no consequence.
English

I wonder what this support amounts to?
Tiberius@tiberiusfiles
@joelpollak I wholly support Iran having full nuclear weapon capacity and ICBMs capable of reaching US soil

@EmperorBasilisk @beverstine @TheDEWLine Yeah everyone was really impressed when you precisely killed 160 schoolchildren and then hit the rescue workers twice after
English

@JDAMExpert @beverstine @TheDEWLine Well we just started producing them like last year so we had a good chance to test what we did have in combat and now we’re building more so I think probably yes.

The US Army fired its entire stock of Precision Strike Missiles in the opening stages of the war against Iran.

@Mpolymer @BarakRavid Enrichment was never part of the deal, that is an Israeli demand because they know Iran will never accept it, now Israel’s dutiful supporters bleat about it endlessly, including you
Your deferential attitude to these monsters is odd, to say the least, given their conduct


English

I think @BarakRavid gets this spot on… there’s a possible deal to be had on enrichment, if both sides r actually talking numbers, and they r…and he notes Senator Graham is not happy and will demand congressional input… I’ll add: a much strengthened JCPOA like agreement may end up being a good outcome (details of course matter), but Trump will take heat for this from all sides…

@user98765146435 @Mpolymer Why not? He clearly can’t open the strait, why would they be afraid of him? He’s a fat pedophile who serves isrsel
English

@JDAMExpert @Mpolymer Trump adopted the language of the regime. It was a bad sign at the time. Now he's just doing a blockade.
He's not a guy I'd want to be making death threats against if I were an Iranian leader
There are plenty of videos of the regime killing protesters and lots full of bodies
English

It’s worth asking this question, with no emotion or bias. As I’ve gotten older, as I’ve seen a lot, been around the block several times in the ntl security world, I’m not taking for gospel what senior USG officials (both civilian and military) say. Do we not remember such bullshit senior DoD briefings in Afghanistan and Iraq? It is the media’s job to hold govt accountable, so these questions r legit in my view.
The Team House@TheTeamHousePod
Are the DOD briefings about Iran bullshit?
English

@user98765146435 @Mpolymer why is Trump’s “wipe out an entire civilization” treated as hyperbole but their Death to America isn’t given a similar interpretation?
Why is there zero proof that *35,000* people were killed in a week, a WWI level casualty count but no pics or video, no satellite imagery? Odd
English

@Mpolymer Iran's regime can:
- Say "Death to America" is their policy (see video)
- Build ICBMs and have a nuclear program
- Massacre 35,000 protesters in a week
- Block the Strait of Hormuz
Iran cannot:
- Do more than 1 of these things
or Trump can eliminate them

@YehudiGadol @Lgrng0 We know a bunch of krauts put your grandparents in a blender, they got saved by the Red Army, and they repaid the world by becoming exactly like Hitler except whinier, no one wants to hear about the holocaust anymore, you freaks have spent all your holocaust points committing one
English

@Lgrng0 Calling Jews Nazis is the most Nazi thing you could do. You know nothing of my people’s history. Good day

You guys want to be Holocaust victims SO BAD

@Snakeeater36 Another round of Seth Harp-based tantrums by the Posting Veterans, followed by nothing happening to Seth because you’re all easily excited morons, that’s the good stuff
English

Seth Harp is crying about SOF and drugs. But the REAL conspiracy is, enlistment age and the auto-draft are all related to the implementation of cheap GLP-1s you will be able to buy on Amazon….”too fat to join? Not anymore get on the cattle car and take your skinny pill private!”
No more reduced rations, just take your skinny pill and get to PT!
English

@ScottMi65962756 She went on the record publicly months ago, with her full name and picture, the fact that you are only now learning about it doesn’t mean he “burned” a source lol it just means you’re slow
English

@Snakeeater36 Classified/unclassified...He burned a source.
English

@smellygoosefoot Can you cry about cluster munitions some more? I like when you people do that
English

@The_Cracker2001 @BreannaMorello nothing happened to him after he “doxed” some guy from delta force, you’re all easily excited morons who will be disappointed yet again
English

@BreannaMorello @sethharpesq Search for what he did in January w a man he tried to dox.This is far from his first rodeo w SpecOps forces. SETH is doing this intentionally.Hang him & let him swing.
She isn't innocent.We don't carry the level clearances we do just so a coward ass nobody can put a target on us
English

Seth Harp (@sethharpesq) burnt his own source Courtney Williams.
She privately messaged him to complain about it.
It’s in the indictment.
He published her full name and included classified information in his story.
He wasn’t suppose to do that.
She says, in a text message, that the information that was used in his story was not meant for the public—just background.
She admits she will soon be arrested.
She even says his report missed the mark aka he sucks at his job.
Harp wants you to blame President Trump for his source being arrested for sharing classified information—not him.
Harp just blocked me for asking how any of this is Trump’s fault.

Well, @ShawnRyan762, I know my comparing you to @maddow seems like a joke to some, but I can assure you that it is not.
As a former SEAL that has sat in briefing rooms in theater, run ops against jihadist networks, and built a platform interviewing many sharp people in both operations and intelligence, you of all people should understand how strategic warfare actually works.
Despite all of that, you are sitting here and pushing posts like a cable news commentator with rimmed glasses on a communist news network, framing decisive pressure against the world's leading state sponsor of militant jihadist terrorism as "chaos" and "loss."
Let's cut through this selective timeline you laid out:
Trump issued a brutal, unmistakable warning over the Strait of Hormuz, the chokepoint Iran's regime was weaponizing to strangle global energy and fund its proxies.
That wasn't just some bluster for fun, it was quite literally combatant messaging 101 in asymmetric conflict against an enemy that only respects raw and credible power.
Jihadist Islamists like the IRGC, Hezbollah, Hamas, Houthis, and their ilk don't negotiate in good faith or respond to polite diplomacy, and you absolutely know this.
They only respond to negotiations from positions of strength.
If you do not negotiate that way, they will probe weaknesses, exploit hesitation, and interpret restraint as invitations to push attacks.
History from the Beirut barracks to the USS Cole to Benghazi and to decades of proxy attacks has proven that.
You've had guests that have spoken about these things, yet you act ignorant of them now?
This apocalyptic rhetoric is the only language these people understand, and you know it.
Iran blinked because of that rhetoric, floated a ceasefire tied to reopening the strait, and the administration secured a pause to lock in gains. That is not "lighting the world on fire then calling the fire department," you two bit propagandist, that is literally the way war has always worked.
It is coercion through strength: downgrade the enemy's capacity, signal willingness to escalate decisively, then offer the off ramp on your terms.
It's wild that you are ignorant about this.
And then you cry about Israel hitting Beirut like the soft lefty you have turned into... Beirut is in Lebanon, mind you, which is a completely different country than Iran.
Perhaps you need a geography lesson as well as a lesson on strategic level warfare?
So yeah, that is not Trump chaos, that is Israel finishing the job against an Iranian proxy that has quite literally fired thousands of rockets and embedded itself among civilians in Lebanon for decades.
And Lebanon was explicitly carved out of the US and Iran ceasefire for a reason, so even bringing it up here is silly and meant to distract.
Also, Iran quickly "closed" the Strait back up because they are purveyors of taqiyya style negotiations, just like jihadists always are.
But let's talk about how they "closed" the Strait, because everyone is being dishonest about that as well.
They didn't actually close anything, they are just signaling that they will attack ships that cross through it.
All it takes is one drone or one missile hitting one tanker and 20% of the world's oil shipping halts until insurance companies feel confident that the crazy Islamic terrorist regime in Iran won't sink any more hundred million dollar tankers.
You also conveniently leave out the real reason for this war from the get go, which is curtailing China and China's Belt and Road Initiative and re-establishing the world order firmly behind the United States.
I miss the days just months ago when you weren't a fully captured op... seeing what you and guys like Kent have become is truly disheartening.
I hope the money is worth it.

@JimmyAshfeld @JucheAffirmer No one knows how many tomahawk get produced every year, it’s highly classified! sounds like you’re a desperate moron lol
English

@JDAMExpert @JucheAffirmer I didn't claim to be asking in good faith
I asked it as a rhetorical question to point out that random twitter posters don't have unique or special insight into US military logistics.
The only people that do are those high up in the US military.
English

@Sgt_ShaneV @Snakeeater36 You’re all legal experts and were proven correct last time, when Seth was jailed for posting a photo of someone from delta force, I’m sure it will happen again
English

@Snakeeater36 If he disclosed classified info he can be held liable no? Even as a "Journalist"....
English

@CleetusOlney @DanielDann29755 @Snakeeater36 You were all certain Seth was going to jail when he “doxxed” the super duper secret delta force guy and then nothing happened, should be pretty funny when nothing happens again
English

@DanielDann29755 @Snakeeater36 You have no clue what you’re talking about.
English

@CAP10KRK @Snakeeater36 One court paper says ‘based on my training and experience- likely contained classified NDI.’
Man that’s the loose crap they use to have an “expert” testify and affidavit to support the arrest warrant.
They did this to a guy in Massachusetts saying he bought hi cap mags.
English

@Snakeeater36 You retards already did this when he posted a picture of someone from delta force, you were screaming about how he was going to jail, then nothing happened because you’re all illiterate, why set yourselves up for disappointment again?
English

@ShawnRyan762 Your good buddy JD says Lebanon wasnt oart of the ceasefire…so do you want to rescind this antisemitic bullshit?
English

Ceasefire's barely 24 hours old, and Israel (our greatest ally) is already blowing it up, literally. Largest coordinated strike on Lebanon since the war began.
But sure, another masterclass in negotiation from the guy who threatened to wipe out an entire civilization the day before.
Stable genius stuff.
