    Whatever, this was an intentional hit by pitch lobbed by Iran at Israel for theatrics. The theatrics were for the home crowd without any intended injury to the batter.

    Maybe this is the new modern warfare. Posturing at each other on social media and lobbing easy pitches right down the middle at each other that do nothing just so the spice continues to flow.

    Seriously I can't stop with the Dune references

    We had gotten to a point where Biden was talking about conditioning aid to Israel and seeing opinion shift in a big way against Israel and then Iran launches a major attack that accomplishes nothing except probably shaking loose a huge Israel aid package.  Lol, maybe the Zionists do control the world, even the ayatollahs. 

    It's like the plot of an F-tier Clancy novel tbh

    I’d prefer that the Iranian people took control of their destiny. But if they’re intent on being a psychotic islamofascist regime launching attack after attack (don’t forget that Oct 7 was by Iranian backed and trained Hamas), then fuck em. Regime change? IDGAF. Let the people pick a new regime after this regime is killed where they sleep.

    So…Israel should just continue to let Iran finance, train, and launch attacks on Israeli territory and people over, and over, and over, and over, and over, and over, and over, and over.
    The universal law of FAFO eventually gets triggered.
    Iran should stop attacking Israel. It’s never had a good reason to do so. And I’ve long thought that Israel was more restrained than any other nation state on earth would be in its response.
    Imagine if Belgium financed, trained, and launched attacks against Poland. Poland long ago would have brought the thunder to Belgium, and rightfully so.
    Iran is a shit state doing shit things. This was always going to happen.

    Don't get me wrong, I'm all for getting rid of the Mullahs, but miss me with mowing down a million civvies to get it done because that's the MO for this type of thing. Pouring one out for Iraq.

    It's kind of a moot point anyway because Israel can't roll boots into Iran and force regime change (if they even care to do so, which is debatable). It would be the catalyst for a complete bloodbath in the region and it would be a highly impractical and costly war.

    With that said, and assuming I'm right, what's the recourse? I can't see a whole lot of situations where we don't end up being drawn into a shooting war on Iranian soil with American boots on the ground should this escalate into direct warfare.

    If there's something this country and the world really doesn't need right at this moment, it's that.

    That was a point I made earlier. How are either going to get there?

    Yeah it seems an impossible war from a logistical standpoint, at least from a boots on the ground perspective.

    And it’s one Israeli war where I’m just fine with us supplying them weapons.

    I really don't agree with this. Cleaning up our mess by sponsoring hundreds of thousands, even millions more deaths is not exactly a road I want to go down again. We're already trying our best with that in Gaza.

  7. I don't think either side wants open warfare with boots on the ground, unless we want Israel to go in I guess. Iran is ripe for another American sponsored regime change, I suppose. Surely this time it will work out great! /s

  8. All that said, the real thing to watch is what OUR diplomats in Israel do. If they're staying put, this is probably not considered that much of a threat.

    They didn’t “deliberately provoke Iran.” Iran has been waging a “proxy” war (and sometimes, really not bothering with the “proxy” part) against Israel for a long-ass time. Iranian backed strikes against Israel are a regular thing. Israel’s return strikes have NOT been to assets on Iranian soil. Objectively, Israel has been restrained with respect to Iran (note the qualifier - I am just speaking to Israel’s actions regarding Iran).
    They hit Iranian assets hard last week. Iran wants to hit back. This shit was always going to happen. Sorry, the fucking burden here is on Iran. It has ZERO natural reason to be at war with Iran. It’s a psychotic islamofascist war they’ve been waging for deranged reasons. Fuck em.

    I don't disagree, but even Israel's own intel pointed to Iranian retaliation being extremely likely before they struck that embassy in Syria.

    With all they've got going on, can they really stretch themselves far enough to escalate and sustain an external conflict right now?

    My main issue is how many American weapons and dollars are being used here. That and everyone over there just being dead set on wiping each other out while we sit to the side and toss dollar bills like we just rolled up hood rich to Chicas Bonitas.

  10. Wings of Zion, of course that's the fucking name of the plane.

    Maybe we shouldn't have begged China to beg Iran not to retaliate and instead maybe directly asked Israel to hold off on closing their eyes and doing a spray n pray on the region for a little while until shit isn't so hot.

  11. I'm sure everyone, including Western media, will interpret this in a completely rational way.

    It's insane to deliberately provoke Iran in this way and not expect a response. Literally any country with the capability would respond in this way.

    Really happy with Israel for drawing us into what looks to be a major regional conflict that's just begging to spread like wildfire.

    Did you read it? It's pretty interesting. 

    In 2019, Qassam commandos discovered hundreds of munitions on two World War I-era British military vessels that had sunk off the coast of Gaza a century earlier. The discovery, Qassam boasted, allowed it to make hundreds of new rockets.

    Early in the current war, a Qassam video showed militants assembling Yassin 105 rockets in a sunless manufacturing facility.

    “The most essential way for Hamas to obtain weaponry is through domestic manufacture,” said Ahmed Fouad Alkhatib, a Middle East policy analyst who grew up in Gaza. “It’s just a tweak of chemistry and you can make pretty much whatever you want.”

    Yeah for sure, it's an interesting topic. Their resourcefulness would be admirable if it wasn't being used to lob rockets at people.

    Donovan has always been my choice since Tubby left, have to wonder if BD quietly told UK no to save them embarrassment of being turned down again. 

    Has always felt like he just doesn't want to coach college basketball anymore. For a long time. I'm sure plenty of major programs have come calling over the years and he's turned down many offers. There's no guarantee he would even be effective in today's college basketball anyway.

    Ahh yes, the "two wrongs make a right" rule.

    Seriously, the anti-jewish bullshit of multiple Arab states over the past century is a fucking atrocity.  I am anti-ethnic cleansing.

    I don't care who is doing the cleansing.  I don't care who is the cleansed.  I am against ethnic cleansing.  Are you?

    He only thinks its wrong when the brown people do it.

    Will be available digitally on April 16th. Seems awfully early but you can still see it in IMAX. 

    45 days from mainstream theatrical release is pretty standard nowadays I believe.

    Correct. It wasn't that long ago Greg Oden was a #1 pick. 

    It was 17 years ago and the game was very different. Oden very well could have been a very good NBA player had he been healthy.
