With the current generation of AI, reading/listening just makes me feel stupider. The prose is not quite tight, and it makes my brain go to sleep. The fact that I'm never sure what I'm listening to is true or not doesn't help.

I could see this being useful as a bit of a replacement for white noise, but even for that, there are so many good podcasts around that I will never run out.

Trump is not diplomatic, that's for sure. But somehow a bunch of countries are sending ships to the straights of Hormuz. I don't know how he got them to do that.

It seems like they must be planning something, but it's not clear what. Maybe a landing operation to seize the land around the Hormuz strait region of Iran, or maybe just naval escorts for tankers. If shipping through the straits restarts, then Iran will have lost most of its negotiating power.

If it were me, I would not want to restart military operations until there were better anti-drone defenses set up. But idk, Trump is also not good at planning, maybe he'll try to go ahead with it anyway.

This is the guy to track. This is how to deal with underground facilities. If you do have to enter tunnels, they can be entered with drones leading the way. No need to be surprised around the corner. The important tunnels are large enough to drive a semi through, they aren't tight.

Your idea is that the Iranian regime is MORE stable right now than it was six months ago?

Company treats customers like trash, treats employees like trash.

Anyone who cared about morale left Facebook a long time ago.

The entire logic behind your argument is that you want it to be true.

It's not true, you're using motivated reasoning. Stop it.

It means you haven't put any effort into studying modern Iran.

That is why you are ignorant. Very ignorant. An ignoramus. Know nothing.

Go learn about Iran and stop replying.

The US is limited by their desire to not kill civilians, not by their military size.

That's why it's important to distinguish between the IRGC and the Iranian people in general. The IRGC is so weak that the only chance they have is that Trump will get bored and go home (I have no ability to predict what Trump will do, so that might happen). The IRGC has no chance militarily, they are weak.

That's a lot of speculation, mostly supported by motivated reasoning.

Turn off your bias and start looking at facts. Right now you're just being stupid.

Not bad, not bad.

Great! Hopefully your universal healthcare has treatment for monomania.

You can only talk about one thing. You are mentally ill. You have monomania. See a doctor.

You are right, I have never heard of asynchronous warfare. What is that?

Wow! Iran has an infinitely higher score than before! Score updated:

4000 to 6.

IP laws around the world are France's fault, not America's. Blame Victor Hugo and be rational (but you are not rational. You are angry).

People who lie as much as he does aren't worth talking to. If you're forced to talk to them, try to focus on facts as much as possible.
