That’s not necessarily how mountains and caves work. They may have collapsed the facilities inside without the rock above losing an inch. Or they may have damaged the building inside with pressure and blast eaves without collapsing the excavated spaces. Or they may have just created a big pile of slag on the outside.
Fair point.

It would be impressive if we have the ability to see through severaL hundred feet of rock and bunker concrete from space and make that assessment.
You don’t think we can measure the height of the ground in the area before and after the strikes? We can, very accurately. It takes a lot of math to know if we caved the shit in, but thankfully we have computers and shit. Trump doesn’t trust it and I guess you don’t either

Signals intelligence means people talk, and we capture the conversations. They’re most certainly talking about the damage to those facilities. The only question is whether they’re being caught out or if they’re making deceptive communications. Add that to other observable means.
The radar doesn’t lie. We either caved the shit in or we didn’t

They didn’t need to completely destroy the place, they knew dear leader would just say it was and half the country will believe it or pretend it’s true. And don’t @ me about fucking cloak room, this is the President of the fucking United States reporting on matters of international conflict with nuclear implications.
Isn’t the assessment based on satellite radar that’s accurate down to like a couple inches or better? Like… the fuck?

Well, Doddard says that JPow is a “dumb man”…who was appointed as Fed Chair by <checks notes> Trump - so what did he expect?
It’s weird how so many (all?) of his appointments who were the best candidates at the time turn out to be dumb and crazy

Apparently Iran has agreed to a ceasefire, per CNN.
If Israel agreed to it, what choice did Iran have? They’ve been completely dominated

Said it in the other thread, we spent what, probably close to half a billion to do what, exactly? The status quo remains exactly the same as it was a few days ago.
Show Iran that we (israel and US) can easily obliterate their ability to develop a nuclear weapon. Demonstrate our capabilities to China. What are you mad about here?

My kid got her first part-time job in '24. I didn't tell her but I started a Roth IRA for her and contributed the full $7,000. I will do that every year until she graduates college. That'll be her college graduation gift.
My understanding is you can contribute up to $7k/yr to a custodial Roth IRA as long as the kid is earning at least $7k/yr. Is that accurate?

Iran's on the 1 yard line? If that were true why would Tulsi and everyone else in the global intelligence community have hidden that fact?
I mean she put out that fucked up propaganda piece like a week ago talking about how scared of nuclear annihilation we should be. At the time, we all assumed it was her shilling for Putin.

It's really funny how this thread is all stories about young men that don't have problems because it's actually not a problem. Where are the stories of the young men we all know that are incel morons, I wanna hear those stories.
I don't think anyone here actually wants to hear those stories... If you’re a lonely young male in the age of social media, you can’t be active on social media because then everyone will know you’re lonely. But if you’re not on social media, you’re essentially unable to get a girlfriend because if she can’t find you on social media, you’re a weirdo. We’ve created a society where wise people avoid social media because it’s harmful, but social media is required if you want to be a part of society. The results are predictable.

I guess the purpose of the tankers is to allow Israel to fly further east into Iran? We might as well start dropping bombs ourself if we’re getting this involved

The Russian's have already opened factories producing copies and modified versions. The designs are so simple, they were never not proliferating.
Agreed.
Ukrainian drone strikes deep into Russia are never gonna stop:-

5-7 got through, which is pretty standard for the Iron Dome. They did not overwhelm it.
Perfection is impossibly expensive, even over a relatively tiny country like Israel. But I’m sure our Golden Showers Dome will be worth the cost.

It led to the crippling of communications for Hezbollah - they can’t use cell phones and they don’t trust pagers. At the least, it’s probably reduced their effectiveness quite a bit.
Excuse me, you hardly need eyes or fingers to fuck goats or strap on an IED. Aloha Snackbar!

That's certainly a take.
I guess I’m not sure what choice Israel had. Iran has been promising their annihilation for decades and they’re allegedly weeks away from a bomb. If true, from Israel’s perspective, logically, they either fight now, while their major population centers exist, or they fight once their major population centers have been destroyed.

Not really. It doesn’t look at what really matters. Debt as a % of GDP. And it doesn’t show who actually had control over a budget when it was set. This post from the mortgage thread does. The Republicans are not the wonderful stewards of money they claim to be, and Donald Trump was and is looking to be again a disaster.
Fiscal Year
President Responsible
House Control
Senate Control
Deficit (USD)
% of GDP
2012 Barack Obama (D) Republican Democratic $1.327 trillion 8.5% 2013 Barack Obama (D) Republican Democratic $680 billion 4.1% 2014 Barack Obama (D) Republican Democratic $485 billion 2.8% 2015 Barack Obama (D) Republican Republican $442 billion 2.4% 2016 Barack Obama (D) Republican Republican $585 billion 3.1% 2017 Barack Obama (D)† Republican Republican $665 billion 3.4% 2018 Donald Trump (R) Republican Republican $779 billion 3.8% 2019 Donald Trump (R) Democratic Republican $984 billion 4.6% 2020 Donald Trump (R) Democratic Republican $3.132 trillion 14.9% 2021 Donald Trump (R)† Democratic Republican†† $2.775 trillion 12.4% 2022 Joe Biden (D) Democratic Democratic $1.375 trillion 5.5% 2023 Joe Biden (D) Republican Democratic $1.695 trillion 6.3% 2024 Joe Biden (D) Republican Democratic $1.833 trillion 6.4% 2025 Joe Biden (D) Republican Democratic $1.9 trillion 6.5% Footnotes:
-
† Although Donald Trump was president during part of FY 2017 (starting January 20, 2017), the FY 2017 budget was mostly planned and signed into law during the Obama administration. Trump later signed supplemental appropriations.
-
†† Senate control in FY 2021 was effectively split 50-50 after the January 2021 runoffs in Georgia, with Vice President Kamala Harris (D)casting tie-breaking votes, giving Democrats functional control starting late January 2021 — but this occurred after the FY 2021 budget was largely set under Republican control.
I think this chart sums it up pretty well. Barack Obama did a pretty good job as President keeping spending under or around 3% of GSP after the 2009 financial crisis died down. Trump was an absolute disaster because he panicked during Covid and wildly overspent. Biden was ridiculously overspending, and here we sit with Trump in office and in control over both houses of Congress and the House passed a budget that will be the worst yet. Specifically for FY 2026, the Committee for a Responsible Federal Budget estimates that the deficit could rise by nearly $600 billion, bringing the total deficit to approximately $2.3 trillion, or about 7.3% of GDP . Fucking disaster.

They said he’d face no charges
From what I can find, at 76 years old, all this driver has to do to prove he’s still capable is a vision test every 5 years.
The kids fucked up trying to go between cross walks, but I’d have a hard time not putting any blame on the driver.

2021 - Is inflation finally back in the conversation?

I mean it is largely true that the tax system has been designed to incentivize business creation and it would be foolish to pay taxes that you can legally avoid.
