"That's what I've got the American military for, after all."



"Bibi - isn't this going too far?"

"Shut up and laugh, dammit."

4. You're not kidding.

Bibi scratched Vlad's back in Ukraine - and despots don't do that for another despot without expecting the favor to be repaid.

5. Careful about getting your news from Xitter

Nothing is getting out of Iran in the way of posts or videos, they might have shut their part of the net down.

CNN has confirmed that there has been an Israeli strike against Iran. BBC is live blogging but not much knor is out. https://www.bbc.com/news/live/world-middle-east-68830092?src_origin=BBCS_BBC

Shit.

6. I think the attack is over. They hit an air base.

8. Right, and somebody posted a picture of a brush fire in Texas

and claimed it showed the destruction of an Israeli nuclear facility.

Xitter is just not a reliable source, it's a rumor mill infested with Russian trolls, the latter thanks to Musk. The above was confirmed by real news, though.

9. My first thought too, warpy.

Xitter is the misinformation superhighway now. It's not as reliable as it was and even then it required readers follow the 'trust but verify' rule. It's SO much worse now.

10. Update: US not involved in any operations, Blinken says, after US officials say Israel strikes Iran

The United States has not been involved in any offensive operations, Secretary of State Antony Blinken said, after a US official told CNN that Israel had launched a strike on Iran.

"What we're focused on, what the G7 is focused on, and again, it's reflected in our statement and in our conversation, is our work to de-escalate tensions," Blinken said.

The US was given advance notification Thursday of an intended Israeli strike in the coming days but did not endorse the response, a second senior US official previously said.
