Trump spoke of “shylocks,” which is one of the most recognizable antisemitic terms in modern English. Watch who tries to explain this away.

The administration has argued that the destruction of Iran's uranium metal production lines at Isfahan will set its nuclear-weapon program back by "years."
At Arms Control Wonk, I argue it may not even set Tehran back by months.

In addition, the Iranians (Russians, Chinese) have known about bunker busters for years. It would be pure negligence if they had not prepared for it. Especially after the Israelis dug their way down to Nasrallah in his bunker under Beirut.
I have a paid subscription to The Atlantic because I find analysis articles such as Tom's important, but I also love the great writing of the longer articles which are worth the price and reading time.
And so I get unlimited gift articles.
Here you all go. Enjoy.

Derfor er kong Haralds første besøk på Bjørnøya viktig nå
Kongens besøk på Bjørnøya er ekstra symboltungt akkurat nå. Statsoverhodet sender et signal som må sees i sammenheng med økt interesse for nordområdene.

Have you ever heard of someone digging a very deep hole using explosives alone? Probably not — because it doesn’t work. Once a hole reaches a certain depth, simply using more explosives won’t make it deeper.

We must remember: bombing residential buildings with sleeping children is not about military might or strength — it’s about hatred and the impotence to win. But destroying Russia’s arsenals, aviation, and oil refineries — that’s about the will to win and put an end to the Russian imperialism.

Was this the plan all along? Maneuver Trump into picking Vance as his VP. Pour money into the Trump-Vance ticket. Then, trigger impeachment proceedings against Trump. Vance steps in — and ushers in a slick brand of techno-fascism.

If Liz Truss were more stable and shrewd, she could make a fortune from a public affairs protection racket.
"Nice campaign you've got there, would be a real shame if Britain's most disastrous PM endorsed it".
"Nice campaign you've got there, would be a real shame if Britain's most disastrous PM endorsed it".
Cognitive dissonance is one hell of a drug. Truss is entirely unable to accept that she screwed up her time as PM in such spectacular fashion that she’ll be a historical footnote.
So to preserve her self-image she’s had to create this conspiracy narrative, which is now self-reinforcing.
