The ghouls on right wing tv are always screaming that they want to, are about to, or need to do more war crimes.
Fars News reports IRGC is targeting warships near the strait
Unconfirmed reports a warship has been hit
UPDATE: Fars & Tasnim: Two violating vessels that intended to cross the Strait were hit
Definitely! The dude who wrote it explicitly said Andor is based on a biography of Stalin he read, and it uses a bunch of imagery and scenes from “Battle of Algiers”. It’s genuinely cool as fuck and very anti-imperialist. It’s kind of surprising given it’s a Disney show but I guess it flew under the radar because only folks in the know would recognize that stuff.
Some are saying it was an “omid” or “shahed dena” with electro-optical sensors, and then the pilots were picked up by a USV. Feels pretty sci-fi.
Yeah I imagine being in a shot down helicopter must be a relatively low-survivability scenario
Maybe a small poop as it stands. But if they respond and provoke Iran to unleash an even bigger wave of strikes today I think it will trigger a bigger poop.
With missiles and drones flying I’ve collected a few twitters for folks who are interested to keep watch:
Comment if there’s more you think I should add.
It’s not that AI can totally replace workers, it’s just that in most tech jobs 8 human-hours in 2026 can do what 40 human-hours did in 2020. I say this as someone who’s made projects that would’ve taken weeks in a weekend, and also got layed off.
I don’t totally buy the laundry story, but if you take into account the flushed tshirts and towels and all that, I think it’s possible it could’ve been a mutiny type thing. There’s plenty precedent for those kinds of things in previous wars.
But even so - in that best case - its still a dog shit outcome where probably millions of dollars were burned on some “advanced” system from the “best minds” etc but it left service members assed out, stuff / place-to-sleep torched, and they could have died. Not to mention they also couldn’t use a toilet half the time.
On top of that they just had that other guy who went on the news about how his unit complained for weeks about operating from a tin-roof building with 0 fortifications in the range of the attacks, and then got hit straight through that tin roof and lost people.
I think any service member who’s contract is up is going to look at all this and say “fuck that, they don’t give a fuck about us”
I’m sure there’s like 15 contractor middlemen who each pushed the sprinkler deadline a few months back and millions over budget just to have it catastrophically fail in what is probably the most ideal set of conditions for it to operate.
I think boise_idaho makes a good case and I tend to agree with the points you make. However to give some constructive criticism: using exaggerated sarcasm feels unserious or desperate and the weight of the argument and your outward perception are damaged. It would serve you better to maintain a more principled tone and “be the bigger person” in the argument.
Don’t let it get to you too much though. What happens IRL is 1000x more important than what happens here.
Wow things are looking good so far, godspeed to the Bolivian comrades!
From what I could gather, it depends on damage and location. They might be seized, evacuated, sunk, adrift, or anchored nearby.
