    same.  one of those that if it is survivable you need some serious treatment within a minute or two.  not sure how close that place would be to the nearest trauma center that could handle that or if someone capable would have been on site.  again, if it was survivable at all.  * I am not a doctor

    I think Orem is pretty close to SLC but I don't know how they can respond in a situation like this.

    We have been openly talking about regime change.  The last three high-profile times it happened:

    1. Assad fled to Moscow
    2. Gaddafi ended up dead with literally red-hot pokers up his ass
    3. Saddam ended up being hung by people we turned against him

    In theory the rules of Iran have a much easier time of getting to Moscow, but don't think that #2 and #3 aren't in their minds - they have to use a lot of secret police to keep the civilians in check.

    We put their backs up against the wall, we don't know what they will do.

    The good thing is in all three of those cases it brought as close to the violence, am I right?

  3. I first learned about Juneteenth in 1995, when I as a 13 year old Nebraskan was visiting my Aunt and Uncle who farm near Giddings. My Uncle explained the history to me, and then I was introduced to brisket(the dish, not the poster) for the first time when we went over to a guy he knew that was celebrating by feeding smoked meats in his shed. Seemed to me like everyone should have adopted Juneteenth a lot faster if that was how it was celebrated.

    Bomb it, cuz we already sent the shit over and show China what we can do. There are probably very few people there. Sucks. Then let the IDF go in and really neutralize the site. Invite some international "monitors," That is all the IDF can do on the ground. Fuck it, do the two nuke sites.

    Meanwhile the US takes the 5 major airports, Bandar Abbas (port only), only special ops personnel. Get them up and running to normal ASAP. Take Kharg Island and get the oil moving. Cut a deal with the non-ICRG managers of the refineries. Get them going. 

    Open up the airports and port. MASSIVE influx of aid. Food, medicine, fuel. Alleviate any possible bitching. 6 months US leaves. Replaced by an international monitoring and security force. 

    Allow regional leaders to continue day to day operations. 18 months to national elections. No member of the Shah's family or member of the current regime allowed to run. Keep the threat up that if ANYONE gets out of line, in a big way., there will be tit for tat BS, US air is coming. 

    Oh, and to the poster above who said Savak controlled everything? Do not you think the IRG does? 

    It seems wildly optimistic that we'd sustain follow through aid for even 6 weeks.

    If people think the tariffs are going to hurt the economy, wait until we deport a workforce that is irreplaceable.  Good times indeed.

    I had to explain to Reuters today that fucking up the meat packing labor force is negative for the cattleman and the consumer today. Feels like that should be pretty obvious with having to call various commodity brokers.
