Hah!

The Iranians-- heirs to Persia that gave the world chess, exotic musical syncopations, delicious cuisine, accomplished athletes (wrestling, powerlifting) and the term "zig-zag"-- understand NATO Article V implications.

Tehran would not intentionally draw in NATO with an attack on Incirlik AB in Turkiye or a rocket attack on a UK contingent on Diego Garcia.

If a lower-level flunkie mistakenly did that, that subaltern would be dismissed.

Nothing would please ICC-indicted ethnic cleanser Benjamin Netanyahu than getting more goyim and shiksas on board with his crazed Islamophobic campaign against the people of Iran-- and the Iranians know this.

Having written that, the damaged Gerald R. Ford aircraft carrier is heading to Souda Bay, Crete, for repairs.

Tehran announced that any port or location that assists this machine of war becomes a legitimate target of conventional or asymmetric warfare.

Greece is a NATO ally.

Hi Clownshack

Armed ICE agents terrorizing commuters at airports is perfect.

Who has anxieties about flying in Amerikkka, right?

@77 Last century I was sitting in an upscale Tel Aviv cafe with some friends I had in the IDF. No one is in uniform. Our discussion was animated and interesting, so much that an elderly Israeli gentleman chimed in from a nearby table when we touched upon geo-politics. This Solomon turned to me with a polite smile.

"You are an American, right?"

"Yes, Sir."

"Let me tell you this. When an Arab is killing an Arab, this means they are not killing a Jew."

This downgrade already happened under Dummkopf Trumpf's watch.

Austerity measures coming.

I am reading Kurt Vonnegut's brilliant Welcome to the Monkey House this week.

Acerbic, witty, entertaining, crisp-- as expected.

Why did Dummkopf Trumpf TACO (again)?

Because the morbidly obese geriatric racist silver-spooned draft-dodging golf cheating goniff got the signal from his handlers in the Kremlin, that's why.

Great job Dummkopf Trumpf and Bibi!

We're so glad here in America that Israelis enjoy world class universal healthcare while we in the US suffer with the Big Beautiful Bill, medical bankruptcies, and an insolvent government.

Is there any other Muslim country we can attack for you while our economy crashes, Bibi?

Dummkopf Trumpf said it perfectly about hatemonger Jeff Webb. Todah rabah!

@52 The IDF began destroying the bridges across the Litani River in Lebanon before the loathsome Bezalel Smotrich uttered these blasphemies, so the Likud Cabinet had this idea of permanent expansion in mind before their brutal and illegal offensive against the people of Lebanon.

"Good-for-nothing conservative Jeff Webb died after falling while playing pickleball and suffering a severe head injury. The 76-year-old hatemonger was hospitalized after the accident. In an un-Christian manner, his family decided to take him off life support. Webb was an influential figure in the world of cheerleading, founding the Universal Cheerleading Association and later led Varsity Brands, which grew into a multibillion dollar company.

Webb served as senior propagandist and co-publisher of the outlet Human Events. The late white supremacist also purchased the right-wing website The Post Millennial. In his nefarious political work, Webb became an important early mentor to Turning Point USA CEO hatemonger Charlie Kirk.

Webb stood with Kirk's family at the White House when the morbidly obese geriatric draft dodging super rich racist grifter blighting the White House, Dummkopf Trumpf, risibly awarded useless----------- Charlie Kirk the Presidential Medal of Freedom. "

Childless septuagenarian good-for-no-one dinosaur Senator Lindsey Graham (R-Israel) has 4,609,193 reasons why he wants somebody else's son or daughter to take a bullet or drone strike for him.

*** From The Economist: "Dummkopf Trumpf Has Four Bad Options for His War On Iran" ***

Good point, AU.

The Vikings didn't stay long as they had no weapons superiority to the locals.

The melee battles caused too many casualties for re-supply ships to replace them all the way from Scandinavia.

The Spaniards came later with firearms, horses, and disease further to the south.

I don't think the Vikings accidentally introduced any contagion.

"Winning."

In some parts of the US, diesel prices have hit $5.00 per gallon, pissing off truckers.

So much winning!
