@SpencerGuard “destroy their navy and other means that allow them to threaten the strait of Hormuz” Yeah, but those ‘other means’ are très asymmetric, difficult to counter - unless you accept Ukrainian counsel, and even then would require continual presence and overwatch.

I’ll bite. Finish the job for the U.S. IMO, destroy Iran’s current ballistic missile stockpile, destroy their ballistic missile building capability (industrial complex), destroy their navy and other means that allow them to threaten the strait of Hormuz, i.e. destroy their ability to project power outside of Iran; destroy all parts of Iran’s nuclear program and obtain their 1,000 pounds of 60% enriched uranium, deny Iran from ever getting a nuclear bomb. The new leadership in Iran discontinues its current and long standing behaviors to develop a nuclear bomb, ballistic missile shield and increasing range program, and use of the strait of Hormuz as a tool of regional and global economic coercion. Many military, political, and economic means and ways (not just military) can be used to achieve these ends.
Richard N. Haass@RichardHaass

it is getting increasingly tiresome to read and hear calls to "finish the job" in Iran absent any serious discussion of what the job is and how it is to be accomplished with military force.

A scold from the U.S. and an embarrassing report on CNN and suddenly some on the Israeli right remembered to condemn settler violence. These statements are meaningless. In practice, all official Israeli systems enable this violence - the government, the military, the police. When we see mass arrests, we’ll believe these condemnations

Not sure when this nightmare will end—but I will keep reporting and exposing it. Israeli settlers are now attacking the Christian village of Taybeh and the village of Yabrud in the West Bank. Pray for the vulnerable, defenseless Palestinian people. savewestbankchristians.com

Elizabeth Tsurkov@LizHurra·
This @CNN report is being shared widely on Israeli social media & covered by Israeli mainstream outlets, which regularly ignore Jewish terrorism in the occupied West Bank. Foreign journalists should follow the lead of @JDiamond1 & head to the West Bank. Standing on rooftops in Tel Aviv covering missile interceptions is safer & more fun, but this is where you can make an impact. I am happy to connect journalists to human rights organizations & activist groups seeking to protect Palestinians from these incessant attacks. Please reply/DM if interested.
Elizabeth Tsurkov@LizHurra

Important, revealing @CNN report. Please take the time to watch and share.

I know it's boring and repetitive to talk about how grossly evil Trump is, but the fact remains: Trump is grossly evil, in a way that's pretty much unprecedented in this country.

Jack Smith on Trump’s behavior on January 6, 2021: “He was getting calls from people he trusts, people he relies on—and he still refused to come to the aid of the people at the Capitol. That’s evidence for criminal intent in our case.” @Acyn (2025)

Then why does Trump allow Putin to constantly humiliate him and allow Putin to help kill US soldiers and defend him. That is the opposite of how a narcissist would behave. He defers to Putin spreads the Russian narrative widely. Classic agent of influence.
David Stockman@DA_Stockman

No, Trump has always been an agent of his own unquenchable, narcissistic thirst for attention, and has now discovered that blowing things up grabs attention even better than pussies.

@Defence_Index UK didn't borrow anything. Vessel crewed by Germans not Brits. NATO ally simply stepped up to replace HMS Dragon which had been deployed elsewhere. No borrowing was involved.

Sarah Makin at CPAC USA 2026: "Russia has bombed, shelled, and looted 650 Christian churches. They have murdered, a conservative estimate is 49 pastors, priests, evangelical leaders, and other faith leaders in Russian-occupied Ukraine." Russia is exporting religious persecution to Ukraine.

Bill Sweetman@ValkStrategy·
Hegseth's petty, self-serving decision to install his tame press corps, and his choice to howl insults instead of answering questions, has nuked DoD's credibility from orbit. So we don't know whether damage means paint chips, out of action for the duration, or beyond economic repair.
Chris Gordon@ByChrisGordon

Multiple refueling planes and an E-3 Sentry AWACS command and control aircraft are among the aircraft damaged in the Iranian attack at Prince Sultan Air Base, according to preliminary information. airandspaceforces.com/us-forces-saud…

🇳🇴Norway has decided to further increase its defence spending by 115 NOK (c£8.9Bn) to 3.5% GDP by 2035. This guarantees funding of 5 or 6 Type 26 frigates as well as 6 Type 212CD submarines.

Judge rules that 17-year-old Walid Ahmad likely starved to death in Israeli military detention, but closes the case anyway. Israel never charged him with a crime and still holds his body. Here’s how he died, as reported by his cellmate, 16-year-old American Mohammed Ibrahim:

If the US war on Iran ends up with the Iranian regime still in power and Iran able to charge tolls in the Straits of Hormuz, it will be the quickest and most comprehensive defeat that the US has ever suffered—and alarms bells should start ringing loudly about the future of US power.

@tshugart3 Just as well Sec Hegseth has deemed AWACS outmoded, or we’d be worried about replacements.
