Iran Super Thread- Merged

[Cloud Cover]

So what exactly does victory look like?

The Israeli's don't even think an uprising is going to fare very well, if at all.

Israel urges Iranians to revolt but privately assesses they’ll be ‘slaughtered’​

Privately assesses “we will let them be slaughtered rather than us finishing what we’ve started.”

Get out right now or get on with the job.

I completely forgot about that guy.

It can in fact, get worse.

Here’s Kent’s resignation letter.

Already did. Barack Obama. Gave Israel generally cold shoulder; made nice with Israel's top regional enemy (Iran); declined to veto UNSCR 2334. That surely indicates less than "thinks much of Israel".

No, goes further, cuts their funding and their intell.

No, goes further, cuts their funding and their intell.

There was something a while back I read that indicated they have already prepared themselves for funding to end. Intel might hurt, if it happened.

I continue to suppose that Israel already assumes "no support" from any future Democratic administration and is preparing/prepared for that.

His first wife was killed in the 2019 Manbij bombing, in Syria.

Another one bites the dust...

Iran confirms security chief Larijani killed as Trump lashes out at Nato allies

Israel had earlier said it hit the hideout of Iran’s security council in an overnight strike, killing Ali Larijani, the latest senior Iranian official to have been killed within weeks.

Aye, but there always seems to be another to fill the blank file.

Iran seemed to learn a thing or two about succession planning after seeing how the U.S. decapitated the Ba'ath Party leadership in Iraq 2003.

His current wife is an analyst at Al Jezeera.

Edit: I don’t understand the reference to Israel manufacturing the Syrian civil war.

If he’s speaking of the current war, well maybe he’s right and maybe he’s wrong. The war has started, he’s not fighting it and apparently was never asked to even get coffee by the administration. So his absence presently is not even in the ledger books.

Well, he seems to have the approval of the Tucker/Owens types. Poor bastard.

He's insinuating that Israel influenced the Bush decision to kick off the second gulf war, which led to regional instability, which led to the rise of ISIS, which led to US missions in Syria.

I think his waterbed financing rate just went up.

Joseph Kent and Tucker Carlson have eerily similar views based on what has been presented by both of them recently.

If you read that resignation letter and have tuned into Tucker Carlson in the past couple weeks, you'll notice they're pretty much on the exact same page. It almost actually comes off as if Joseph Kent essentially copied a lot of the points Tucker has been making recently- as weird as that may sound. Check it out for yourself.

Guys like Tucker, Rogan, Fuentes, etc. have always been counterculture, and I think traditional MAGA thinking has just been played out at this point. These guys can't go back to the Democrats, it would alienate their base and quite honestly I don't think they'd be welcome. They also can't continue to just pump Trump's tires indefinitely, it's just gotten old at this point and there's too much to criticize by now to really look past it, unless you're gung-ho do-or-die Trump MAGA. That really only leaves a split within the GOP base and a new alt-right, and that new movement is looking a lot more critical of Isreal so far.

"The smoke damage extended to the berthing, requiring the Navy to take 1,000 mattresses off the future USS John F. Kennedy (CVN-79) in Norfolk, Va., over the weekend to send to Ford, USNI News understands. The Navy has also collected almost 2,000 sweatsuits and other clothing items to distribute to the crew because many sailors are unable to clean their clothes with most of the laundry services out of commission, a source confirmed to USNI News."
