    Giddily talked about Ukraine’s “failed” attack on Russia’s bomber fleet (thousands of kilometers behind lines, damaged a significant amount of their fleet), gets butt hurt after his “cease fire negotiations” are ignored and his unprovoked (and probably leaked early) bombing is exposed as ineffective

    it was pretty obvious it was botched by the following night. they bombed fordow, then claimed it was “obliterated”, then continued bombing it the following night.

    If it was “obliterated” then why waste those expensive bunker busters on another raid?

    Hot take, it wasn’t set back at all.

    Uranium enrichment is expensive and time consuming, but if North Korea can do it covertly Iran has a much more educated people and much more land to extract anything from. Plus Iran is probably much more cozy with Russia than Russia is with Nork.

    If Iran hasn’t produced a weapon yet, it’s not because of these enrichment facilities, but a lack of material to produce enough high enrichment, OR they are trying to rely on methods for inducing fission that won’t work for a bomb (inclusive OR). That’s what kept Germany from advancing their program.

    I have a feeling that the centrifuges are decoys anyway. It’s a cheaper way to isolate enriched uranium, but easy targets. At one point Iran was trying laser separation to isolate the correct isotopes, but I doubt they had any success with that and they’re undoubtedly putting resources into multiple methods now, UNLESS Putin has instructed them otherwise.

    In reality? All Putin needs to do is provide enriched uranium or plutonium and Iran can make breeder reactors and it doesn’t matter how many centrifuges get blown to bits.

      Iran doesn’t actually have to have uranium for America to bomb them. In fact, if they didn’t have uranimum, we’d be liberating them for the sake of Democracy or some shit. Israel told its wage slaves to bomb Iran, so its wage slaves are going to bomb Iran.

      Remember last time?

      “Oh, turns out… they didn’t have weapons of mass destruction lmao. SILLY US! Oh well! Too late now!”

      This isn’t the first time Iran’s nuclear program has been targeted. It’s been regularly attacked over the years. Getting weapons grade enrichment is really hard, it’s years of lead time to get centrifuges up and running before you can even attempt enrichment. It’s not unbelievable that they haven’t gotten pure enough uranium for a nuke yet, it matches up with what we know about their program from what has been inspected.

      Iran is under a microscope though, and has severe problems with infiltration from outside intelligence agencies.

      They do have more than 10x the land area and more than 3x the population though.

    So obnoxious to see Americans conclude “The bombings were done incorrectly” after this horrifying bullshit.

    Fucker is out there committing naked, wildly unconstitutional straight-up war crimes for clout. And the liberal response is just to pooh-pooh him for failing to demolish a civilian nuclear program.

    “If Kamala Harris was in charge, she’d have leveled those mountain-encased centrifuges!” will be the 2026 DNC rallying cry.

    Do we think maybe the bomber missed on purpose? Kind of like how there was a lack of precision by the military parade recently?

    I mean, totally works even with a Star Wars context. If our evil fascist dictator wasn’t calling people who spoke the truth scum, he wouldn’t be much of an evil fascist dictator now would he?

    I feel like beyond the stupidity. Beyond the corruption. Beyond the narcissism and the self-aggrandising, the lying and the greed; it’s never really talked about enough about how he’s just a flat-out asshole he is.

    Even if he were just some dude driving a pickup truck to a 9-5 job, his entire demeanour is just one of a mean-spirited shit-heel who would get his teeth kicked in at any bar in any “regular joe” town in the world.

      Yeah he’s an utter garbage monster. I feel like he’d work at a seedy used car dealership and beat up his wife nightly in frustration for being such a loser had he not been born into obscene wealth.

      Before any question from a CNN reporter he preambles about how shitty he thinks they are, literally “wait til you get a load of what she’s about to ask here”. The patience of the journalist to ignore that and deliver a perfectly reasonable and impartial question is incredible.

      Apparently, that’s one of the things his voters like about him, because they’re also arseholes.
