Why am I so unimpressed by these strikes? Israel and the US have failed to target significant elements of Iran's nuclear materials and production infrastructure. RISING LION and MIDNIGHT HAMMER are tactically brilliant, but may turn out to be strategic failures. 🧵 1/17

At some point, British politicians decided they could no longer treat the electorate like grown-ups who could understand complexities and shades of grey. But we accepted that. In the end, we own this. It’s our fault.

In the past eight months, 3 cases of Creutzfeldt-Jakob disease (CJD) have been diagnosed in one Oregon county; 2 of them have died. CJD is the human form of mad cow disease. It’s caused by prions and it’s not known how they developed it.
CJD is 100% fatal. There is no treatment.
