I love hot humid weather. I think it’s supposed to rain today, right on the No Kings marchers.

But providentially will not rain on the Washington D.C. waste of money parade?

Conclusion: 10. Now comes the strategic phase. It’s obvious that the U.S. and Israel are playing **good cop, bad cop** with Iran. Israel strikes. Meanwhile, President Trump says, “I’m ready to sign a deal.” It’s the same model Israel proposed regarding Hezbollah: The U.S. pushed for a deal *before* ...

Finally, one of the few times I agreed with Trump in what he wrote today. What was that? I am truly shocked that Trump can write so many words in which I am full support and cannot criticize anything in it! But I have a bias in that I'm one of those "Israel can do no wrong" people. Captur...

That Israel was able to do all they did shows what a mismatch it is between Iran and Israel. Israel can count on different forms of powerful backing from the United States. What effective support does Iran have from anywhere? While not exactly the US’s counterpart, Iran *is* the support. It *is* th...

In the gold scream room, Imagine thinking you can stop vinny I can’t stop laughing. O0 Vinny, you’re a juggernaut! You did not carry over your massive retaliation post here.

When a terrorist state keeps trying to kill you while chanting "Death to America" and "Death to Israel", you either do something about it

Or you have a death wish

Israel is doing something about it

When your enemy can kill your entire General Staff in seconds after bloodlessly disabling all your air defenses, you should consider not attempting to develop a nuclear program.

BREAKING: Iran confirms Israel has killed:

– IRGC Commander-in-Chief Hossein Salami
– Strategic Commander Gholam-Ali Rashid
– Nuclear scientist Dr. Tehranchi (linked to weapons testing)
– Ex-Atomic Energy chief Fereydoon Abbasi

Iran to declare war Israel.

Paul C. Jeffries @PaulJeffries Apparently as Israeli official said the timing was urgent because they were imminently advancing on trigger and other elements of the package. I saw some folks asking about that. I am not an expert but since people are asking, here is some explanation and speculation. ...

So must be this:

"The New York Times
@nytimes
Breaking News: Israel attacked Iran, Israel’s defense minister said, raising fears of an all-out war between the two powerful militaries."

Then this:

"Iranian General Staff Commander Major General Gholam Ali Rashid is confirmed to have been killed by Israel."

So far I have found this:

I have the Yankees game on. Don't know what this is referring to. I will go to X to see if anything is prominent.

"In At Dawn We Slept, Prange details how the roots of the Pearl Harbor operation can be traced back to Japanese naval thinking and strategic planning dating to the 1930s, well before the final operational details were put in place in 1941."

Finally found it!!! https://www.perplexity.ai/search/in-which-gordon-prange-book-di-xAczu2wHQI2zEYBG4GQtEA#0 Gordon Prange stated that the Japanese began planning the Pearl Harbor attack as much as ten years in advance in his book At Dawn We Slept: The Untold Story of Pearl Harbor (1981).

Very interesting post, Glenn! I have only visited Japan although I’ve lived elsewhere in Asia. May I ask where you lived?

I know a lot of westerners living in Japan, and they have talked about a museum there in which the display says that the U.S. “tricked” Japan into invading. A few of those guys whom I met in the past even swallowed that idea, perhaps because they are so in love with the country (so am I). I always ...

1. Why is that never brought up? Prange is well-known. Cannot answer that. I was well-documented in the book. It was all new to me at the time that I read it. But that does not conform with this, which states early 1941. https://www.perplexity.ai/search/according-to-gordon-prange-whe-LhfIgMs3QOWBd8...
