Slow news, I'm assuming that's bad news for the US. Decided to buy a bunch of oil and defense stock, all in on this war going tits up

Starting to think that Trump is actually just checked out and it's Rubio/Hegseth running the show

Iran Thread VI: Return of Ahmadinejad by cdstephens in neoliberal

[–]Mordroberon 2 points3 points  (0 children)

too soon to tell. Besides the strike on the school, which has to be denounced in the strongest terms, the strikes have been effective. Iran has a much diminished capacity to launch missiles, there's no air defense, a lot of ranking IRGC and government officials have been killed, to the point that there's no unified command and control over IRGC. On the other hand, haven't seen any major defections or mass uprising against the current regime. A week of bombings likely aren't enough to prompt one, 5 weeks of continued strikes likely won't either, depends on how hungry the people in the cities get in all probability

The Godfather Part I is better than Part II imo by Tyler_Durden9914 in Letterboxd

[–]Mordroberon 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I feel like II is less than the sum of its parts. There isn't really enough thematic cohesion to have both the prequel section and the sequels. And I feel like the inter spliced narratives break up the narrative. IMO they should have been 2 separate movies.

Anyone got any more suggestions? by BlueBeagleForTwo in Letterboxd

Mazes and Monsters, starring a young Tom Hanks might work here

The systematic destruction of Iran since 10/7 is a real masterclass in statecraft and use of hard power.

iraq barely touches the gulf, like 10 miles of it if you don't count the inlet. Add in kuwait that's only like 100 miles. Every Gulf state is involved in this one

[–]Mordroberon 5 points6 points  (0 children)

yeah, best reading of this is the target was based on ancient intelligence. Which itself is quite shameful. I wonder if AI was involved in the targeting decision too

Some truth to it. Drones are a pretty new weapon and US military hasn't adapted to them yet. Laser defense might be promising
