So Bari Weiss had Niall Ferguson and Dexter Filkins on her podcast today (recorded yesterday noonish) and they speculated that the Iranians could try to get what enriched uranium they have and detonate it in the desert, thereby declaring themselves a nuclear power in an effort to cower a restive populace.  
 

Another interesting tidbit was an expectation Israel will have to put boots on the ground to permanently cripple Fordo.  Filkens said a former Biden official told him the Israeli SF were role playing that a month ago.

So if I’m the leadership of Iran, what exactly is my reasoning for not just launching everything I have in a moment of final glory?

What makes you think they haven’t already?  Israel got to much of their arsenal already.

So, a query for the MAGAs who claim that Trump is ZOMG the best negotiator ever.....if Iran ends up popping off a nuke (nuclear detonation or dirty bomb), how big a win is that for the master of negotiation, no more wars president?  Like, Super Bowl-level win, right?

What if it's just a good old massive attack on US forces/infrastructure in the region?  Is that just like a wild card win?

Aren't we all getting tired of winning?

First, Bari Weiss is a grifter. Second…ok first and second.

NO ONE deserves to be atomized. Don’t even send that idea out into the Van Allen belt.

Gonna have to disagree with you there. Now I'm inclined to agree that no human being is pure enough that they should be the one to do it, but people being so evil that they deserve to be? Abso-fucking-lutely.

Trump and his family will be enjoying champagne and caviar in a posh underground bunker, while the rest of us on the surface who manage to survive our fifth degree burns will be fighting over cockroaches for food. 

That’s a pretty fucking epic win, wouldn’t you say?

Fighting the cockroaches for food, or fighting over cockroaches AS food?  These things matter, because.....

So is Iran going to launch some sort of nuke off tonight?  

They’d have to have a nuke to do that. They don’t have a nuke. They’re closer to having one now than they were before Trump tore up the JCPOA, but they still don’t have one.

Not that I can find- and I've looked pretty hard.  Unusual Whales is pretty credible in my experience, particularly regarding stonks.  I'm leaning heavily towards it being untrue though.  Which, honestly would be a relief.  But delete post, ban user and all that...

This is a long-ish read.  And it isn't specific to this thread.  But it's on my mind a lot these days.

That will take nukes. We've proven over and over and over that conventional bombing campaigns aren't enough against a large nation state. 

Remember Shock and Awe? Overpromised, underdelivered.

People don't only get scared when you bomb their friends and families and cities. They also get vengeful.

I see us dusting off the ol' Terror Color Scare Scale and moving it to red.

The level was reported every night on the news until the levels ceased meaning anything and didn't scare anybody enough to keep them from wondering about the wisdom of Homeland Security one day being led by a sycophantic dolt. It had already served its purpose, though. Nobody care about it anymore.

21st century? Equating war with peace dates back to 1984, at least.

the ferengi alliance was organized 10000 years ago (earth years) so rules of acquisition 34 & 35 likely predate eric blair by 8000 years

bibi says wish a motherfucker would

and that's the thing NO ONE is talking about

israel has nukes

at least 100, maybe 200 warheads

but they have never been acknowledged

the shia have no ally they can guarantee will come to their aid; the russians might, but not in the current (ukrainian entanglement) paradigm

the west counters russia

south asia has a 'mad' lock on nuke use

bibi wants another "new american century pearl harbor" event.....  who counters his nukes, and how?

nothing is a matrix glitch in this timeline.....   remember, the shitgibbon telegraphs his actions in his tweets......

would anyone be surprised by *ANYTHING* that happens tonight or this week?

Israel apparently owns most politicians in this country, from both of our political parties, so I'm not sure having the idiot in there really changes much on Iran/Israel. I suppose a Dem might have counseled more restraint, but then again we didn't exactly see that in Gaza from Biden. 

biden, even at the end, would not have approved the pre-emptive attack whose success criteria required a capability only we could bring to the table

bibi took a look at the landscape and saw an opening with rats and idiots running the show

Nope.

Yesterday I asked if Israel might do the unthinkable, and I think people thought I meant a ground war.  I was actually wondering about Israel dropping a nuke on the mountain that the Fordow facility is buried under.  Pretty sure that would work at least as well as a few MOABs, right?  And what are the consequences for Israel?  Harsh words and censures from their allies, and what else?  Nothing.

To be clear, I do not think this is coming.  But to your question above, is *anything* unthinkable right now with a war monger running Israel and a fucking idiot running America?

Is becoming a massive piece of shit a typical side effect of a stroke?

Personalities can definitely change after a stroke. My dad became much more laid back and less grumpy after he had a stroke. My FIL became much more emotional where he tears up at the drop of a hat when he was completely stoic prior.

anything less than 100mt in a surface device will not vaporize enough of the mountain - the israelis don't have anything that large - only moabs can do it

Hmm, that's good to know.  I guess President Bone Spurs gets to do it.

I swear to Zeus, if this draft dodger gets us into WWIII, I'm going to overdose on irony.

If we do help to start a world war, whose side are we on? I assume we are with Israel, Russia and maybe El Salvador?

It will be Russia, China, and US carving up the rest of the world and since we have Dotard, we'll end up declaring bankruptcy

Can’t we at least see what Arch can do as the real #1 before we have to face nuclear annihilation?

Trump used his masterful AOTD negotiating skills.  No nuclear annihilation, and, in exchange, Quinn comes back for one more season.
