I'm struggling to think how this ends without American boots on the ground or Iran getting nukes. I am not seeing an in-between right now. Very pessimistic.

You know, like a treat.

The way things are going, it seems like Iran will get nukes, the question is whether it's their own, or nukes from the US or Israel.

Meanwhile at the FCC.

Not quite the Russian method of arresting and charging people for calling it a war, but it's definitely getting up there.

March 14 (Reuters) - U.S. Federal Communications Commission Chairman Brendan Carr on Saturday renewed his criticism and threats against broadcasters over their content, but this time with President Donald Trump's criticism of Iran ‌war reporting as the backdrop.

Broadcasters who air "fake news" must "correct course before their license renewals come up," Carr posted on X, in remarks accompanied by a screenshot of Trump's Truth Social post earlier in the day accusing the New York Times, Wall Street Journal and "other lowlife 'papers' and media" ⁠of "terrible reporting" on the U.S. and Israel's war with Iran.

"Broadcasters must operate in the public interest, and they will lose their licenses if they do not," Carr wrote.

Trump has frequently accused news media outlets of lying when they run stories that he sees ⁠as critical of him.

Nobody will nuke Iran without some sort of catastrophic attack (scale way beyond 9/11 or October 7), attributable to Iran, in either Israel, the US, a Gulf State or more likely Europe. Actual or false flag it won’t matter.

Maybe you shouldn’t have pissed off all your traditional allies.

So now the US is calling on others to help them with this. I’ll be curious to see how this plays out.

Sounds like he bit off more than he can chew and wants the allies to bail him out.

That tracks.

I’m pretty sure they just can’t yank an 8000 ton floating computer out of dry dock and send it into near certain combat, without making sure things are working and that in fact the entire crew is aboard and ready to win.

Fully agree but to not have a single vessel ready to sail? Someone should be laying their head on a block for that one up to and including the minister.
