  1. Good catch up summation with some human interests aspects. A few details on hospital and nuclear sites. And of course sabre rattling. Israel-Iran: Netanyahu vows revenge after Iranian missile damages hospital Reuters Link
  2. @SydneyCarton Yeah and they have a big YouTube presence and other social media influencers extremely active as well. (Really CR stuff though)
  3. Iran making some big claims and saber rattling. Iran's foreign minister: We call on Israelis to heed evacuation orders 10 minutes ago 08:21 CDT In a post on X, the foreign minister said Iran's armed forces "eliminated" an Israeli military target and also caused damage to the nearby hospital. He goes on to say Iran calls on Israelis to "heed our evacuation orders before strikes and to avoid proximity to military and intelligence sites." https://x.com/araghchi/status/1935684685666963780
  4. Putin puttin' in his CV for King of Peace and Charity, but keeps "friends" secret's worse than me. Putin says he does not want to discuss the possible Israeli-U.S. killing of Iran's supreme leader Link
  5. Well, China getting the fuck out too. China will assist citizens in Israel to evacuate to Egypt from Friday Link
  6. Don't kink shame me nor Ana dude!
  7. She likes butt play, you've been warned. Just please don't tell her I told you because it's her secret.
  8. Because specifics matter in this particular case... 23-year-old Tina Tintor and her dog In no way trivializing the loss of human life because of this POS. Do not fuck with dogs!
  9. Trump keeps world guessing about US military action on Iran Sometime our Potus is absolutely correct. Link of Info Summation Up to Current
  10. Below is a good but somewhat long piece on the current and historical aspects of internal forces at play within Iran. Israel-Iran updates: Khamenei warns US strikes will have serious consequences Reuters Paylink
  11. Lulz.. "Oh, Donald!"
  12. They're hitting tonight.
  13. I back the others comments on AA. It should say something that a sandwich shop was my top food choice. Downtown Detroit is far better for food, bars and activities as well as remarkably safe. I prefer the Double Tree downtown over the Casino for cost and the restaurant but that's obviously super subjective.
  14. If I had to pick one place my go to would amusingly be a sandwich place. Plenty of options as immamac noted but don't sleep on Zingermans. Zingerman' Deli
  15. Sheraton AA i assumed was Ann Arbor. Unless there is an alcoholics anonymous at the Sheraton in Detroit and he plans on sleep there.
  16. I once slept with a smoke show, married ou grad in Austin, there was ass play involved. Sadly, she was not Persian. Details matter and fuck OU and their co-eds.
  17. And that's fair! I've already openly admitted I have a thing for Persian women.
  18. Oh I do get it! They are not capable of creating their own peaceful environment. They are not capable of creating their own road map to a their new government structure. We have to create said road map because as newly freed people they won't be able to do so. And of course, also Palestinian will no longer have their power backing so...
  19. Restrictions on gas thus limiting the ability of their civilians to flee. SUPRISE!!!
  20. Go back and read your own post, what I underlined and the post of everyone else who has clearly posted that the West will determine what happens and all signs point to shit. In short, the west has to come up with the plan to ensure the success of Iran if the current regime is overthrown. Or, more aptly, the US regime is going to make Iran a puppet, because Iran is incapable of self determination and its exactly what the US always does. So, keeping the current Iranian regime in place is better than the US helping Israel over throw them because both leaders of those countries are evil and the people Iran sure as fuck can't lead themselves if they are left to their own devices.
  21. Why do we all post on Surly? Because what happens on Surly changes the prisoner count in Texas, cures cancer with wreaths, and the political landscape of Austin.
  22. I get where your head is at. My thinking is that the best way to analyze an issue, in audio visual where I work or world events is KISS. Try approaching one issue at a time. If a speaker isn't working in a room, check the connection in a room, then the output device, wire, power, and network switch prior to the back end programing of the control system. So right now in the ME, THE item is war between Iran and Israel. That one thing cascades to all the others. None of us know how it will end and discussion of that specific aspect is more relevant than what happens after. Particularly because we don't know how the first part ends, figuring out the post stems out into so many possibilities that it's not productive, imo. Doesn't mean I don't think others shouldn't, I just think it falls outside the lines of discussions I'm interested in and current news worthy discussion.
  23. I have no objection to: This isn't some great benefit to Ukraine given by a magnanimous POTUS. or I'm being critical of a shift from being supportive of Ukraine as an ally to being only supportive of Ukraine as a transactional entity -- we will only support Ukraine if it gives us all its stuff. or it's a shitty way to act towards an ally and no one is surprised because it's coming from a shitty person. So yeah, I can see why we want to polish this turd, but it's still a turd. Mostly because I completely agree. What I object to is paragraphs of shitting on Trump which is basically a repeat of the same thing from 6 different posters. I spoilered above @Brisketexan original post. I underlined items that make the point. The rest is superfluous, cloak room, political shit flinging. Thats where it crosses from news/discussion/DT to CR/political shit flinging. I'm all for expressing objections, but I posted a reputable news only article with almost zero commentary and it devolved into this. And no worries on the confusion. I try to keep my political opinions limited here and don't post in CR so I don't stick out as being on either team. That can confuse people on my position.
  24. WTF are you talking about? Go ahead and find posts where I said Trump was a force for good. I bagged on Trump in my very last news post. Perhaps you consider "at least its a move in the right direction" as stanning for Trump. I think you're confusing me with someone else.
  25. I think they can and possibly would. Sometimes countries can find their own autonomy post regime change. Most posters here, due to historicals, have completely dismissed the Iranian peoples ability of self determination and self rule. It's myopic and a discredit to the humans living in the country of Iran. They are a proud and historical amazingly strong people. I DO get the historical realities of the ME, but to automatically assume with certainty that the Iranian people are completely incapable of self determination is frankly racist.
