    Yes. That appears to be exactly what they did. Fighters, tankers, bombers, naval assets, surveillance, and electronic warfare assets all had to be precisely timed and routed. Small individual deviations given the distances, scale, and timeframes involved would have been greatly amplified. This level of coordination is very impressive.

    Dude, they just fed it all to Grok and had it do the heavy lifting.

    No damage was done and I'm super mad about the attack because I love the Ayatollah, he reminds me of my grandpa. Also, Iran can't get a nuke fast enough, if we're being honest here. If I could, I'd go over there and help them build it myself, but not before I join the Revolutionary Guard AND Hamas simultaneously so I can finally express my blind hatred for Israel properly.

    Enjoy El Salvador!

  3. From the Chronicle because I’m not a cheap bastard and pay for a subscription to the local paper.

    An armed woman in a lawn chair caused a standoff that shut down all lanes of Interstate 45 Thursday afternoon, Precinct 4 Constable's officials said.

    A crisis intervention team was trying to talk to the woman to end the standoff on I-45 at Cypresswood a little after 3 p.m, said Thomas Gilliland, a spokesperson for the Harris County Sheriff's Office. The standoff began after a crash involving two vehicles, and a woman in one of the vehicles got out of one of the cars with a weapon and sat down.

    Both the northbound and southbound lanes of the freeway were shut down.

    Precinct 4 Constable Mark Herman encouraged people to avoid the area, as the woman, who officials said was suicidal, was refusing to comply with verbal commands and drop the weapon, he said in a Facebook post. 

    The two-vehicle crash shut down the left and right shoulders, the left lane, right lane, three center lanes, two frontage road lanes, the entrance ramp, the opposing left and right shoulder and five opposing main lanes, Houston Transtar reported as of 1:40 p.m.

    Alright tough guy, I’m not going to read an article with a goofy headline like that. Have fun being pissed off. 

    But you’ll pop off with half-cocked commentary based on what you think the article says solely from the headline? It’s okay not to read the article, but it’s dumb as fuck to provide commentary without reading it. But then again, it’s you so we know what to expect.

    This.  Nobody doubts that damage was done to equipment and materials of Iran's nuclear program.

    The administration claims - these are the literal words - "total obliteration."  No information or evidence supports that claim.

    The questions remain: was Iran's nuclear program effectively ended for the foreseeable future?  Or was it just set back?  If it was just set back, for how long?

    If Iran can get back to where it was in less than a year, then it's a pretty short setback.  If Iran can't get back to where it was for several years, then it was a material setback.  If Iran can functionally NEVER get back to where it was, then that's a lot closer to "obliteration."

    I don't think any person evaluating what is known, and acknowledging what remains unknown (and probably will remain unknown for several more weeks/months) would have a different take.  Yet we have leadership and victory-lap-posters on this thread acting as if the only two options are "TOTAL OBLITERATION!" or "YOU ARE FAKE NEWS AND HATE AMERICA AND OUR TROOPS!"  Fucking idiotic binary thinking, but America 2025, so yeah.

    It’s insane that the people here who are saying, “hey let’s take a beat and see how this whole thing shakes out before we draw concrete conclusions on the effectiveness of the bombing” are shouted down. For what? Being reasonable and not jumping to conclusions? Attempting to apply some critical thinking skills to a complex situation? Allowing the intelligence community, both internally and foreign, time to assess damage and monitor the actions of Iran in the coming weeks and months?

    Our Secretary of Defense doesn’t sound any different than Sean Spicer.

    Version 2.0 of the Trump regime has amped up the evil and incompetence and left behind the entertainment value provided by the likes of Spicer and Scaramucci.
