Sounds like Congress needs to ask her why she lied to them in the first place. Alas, they will not, because she is already playing the “Fake News” card.
I think a lot of people are going to be surprised…
Personally, I don’t know why, because it’s obvious Russia needs Iran for Ukraine.
But Putin isn’t going to let trump attack Iran.
And it’s already causing the people Putin makes support trump, start going against him.
I don’t want to link an actual tucker Carlson video, so here’s some people talking about his interview with Rafael Cruz:
https://youtu.be/yQEd-ECAwDU?t=1140
It tucker is breaking from trump over this, a lot more rightwing media is going to as well
Russia needs Iran for Ukraine
Oh, well, if this somehow hurts a few Russian Oligarchs then I guess incinerating 90M Persians is perfectly fine.
The fuck?
Does no one understand satire here?
Why she lied? because she opened her mouth
How I Edged Myself For 20 Years: A U.S. Lawmakers Heroic Effort To Convince Themselves Everyday That Iran Is Two Weeks Away From A Nuke
“This memoir is beautiful, it shows a secular side to fanatical devotion you don’t often see.”
Coincidentally that’s the same timeline trump has for any major policy implementation
No that is two weeks
Edit wait, I am not sure who is trolling who anymore, you trolling me, me trolling you, you trolling Trump, Trump trolling me, us trolling Trump?
hahaha I genuinely lost the plot on that being the punchline thank you for punching it for me
Keep trolling trolling trolling trolling
2 weeks fits the Fortnight Fuhrer’s agenda most perfectly
Tulsi Gabbard is a piece of complete shit. News at 11.
Fusion energy is always 10 years away
Iran is always 2 weeks away from nukes
30 years from now the first humans might live on Mars. If not, read this again.
Fusion energy is always 10 years away
I mean, we’re closer to commercial fusion than Iran is to nuclear weapons, because Virginia is actually building a fusion power plant while Iran has never had a program to enrich uranium to weapon’s grade.
Depends what you mean by fusion energy, but fairly recently ignition has been achieved and breakeven surpassed.
In December 2022, the National Ignition Facility, or NIF, an inertial confinement facility, reached Q = 1.54 with a 3.15 MJ output from a 2.05 MJ laser heating. NIF achieved ignition seven times. The highest gain as of 2025 of Q = 4.13 yielded 8.6 MJ from 2.08 MJ of laser energy.
While that quote alone, and the NIF’s results are very impressive and promising…
The beginning of that wiki page says you actually have to hit more like a Q of 5 before you get something that can power its own heat managment and other operating systems as well, to stand a chance at being sustainable.
The other big, missing piece of context is:
The NIF facility’s impressive results come from shooting about 200 lasers at a tiny capsule, which heats it so fast it becomes a plasma and undergoes fusion, and then the energy released is captured.
But… this is not like a toroidal reactor, that, if it got high enough Q, could just keep running and producing energy in net.
This is more like firing an artillery canon that needs to be carefully and manually reloaded.
It is not a continuous, on going process… the position of the capsule must be perfectly aligned to where all the lasers convergently aim at, and its a burst, with a reload time.
That and the capsule (technically a ‘hohlraum’) itself is… making one is a massively intensive and complex process.
The actual fusion fuel part of the pellet has to be encased in a diamond, and then gold, and it has to be like nano scale perfect.
yhea, but a practical implementation is always some years away.
You’re leaning into this, so here’s a chart.
yhea, that’s what I’m talking about.
But your statement implies it’s some impossible feat, and not simply a lack of funding, and maybe it is impossible, but how would we know if we never properly fund it? Moreover, you associated it with a propaganda reference, and I’m not even sure what you’re getting at there.
just saying it was an example of one of those things that are always a free years in the future. like flying cars, which as a society, gave up on
woah
It’s remarkable how fast she changed her story to the one Trump wanted to hear.
question who is the smartest invertebrate?
octopi, or conservatives?
Octopi can solve puzzles, but conservatives can imitate human words, both spineless.
Trick question, it’s the centrist democrats. By preying on leftists and wearing their skin as camouflage, they get to court votes from the left while still growing fat on milk from their billionaire hosts. The conservatives are a very close second, though.
they are as useless as a chiropractor in DC
Her evidence was a photo of an alleged nuclear facility with an arrow and “nukular missiles” written on with black sharpie. She also noted the MS-13 lettering stamped on top of one of the buildings.
It was a real photo, Iran likes to write “Nukular missiles” in giant black letters next to their hospitals.
I did not know that. Thanks for educating me. I withdraw my objection to the evidence, although their connection to MS-13 was already damning for Iran.
I wonder if the American population will buy the same lies sold to them 20 years ago.
I just repeated this to a table of 6 and got nothing but blank stares.
5 of them genuinely thought we found WMDs Iraq/Afghanistan
One had no idea what I was talking about and thought the war was entirely about the world trade centers.
I am surrounded by morons.
I was talking to a guy and he said “who was that politician that used to wear a bunch of makeup?”.
“I’m not sure” I said
“The one with the eyeliner”
“Oh you mean J.d Vance? The vice president?”
“He’s the vice president?”
Physically had to stop myself from facepalming.
Right after he started talking about Greta Thunberg. He said “people that don’t know anything about politics shouldn’t get involved”.
I wish I could make this stuff up.
We elected Biden on mostly anti-Trump sentiment then forgot and elected Trump again 4 years later. I think 20 years is more than enough time.
Whatever shadow of a hope I had that the people of this country would not gobble up low-effort lies about Iran just had this comment appear from the shadows and shiv it in the fucking liver.
I’ll bet fewer people will fall for Trump’s lies than fell for GWB’s, but not because we learned from Iraq. This war is really unpopular with MAGA. It’s for the wrong reasons, but I don’t think most will flip to Trump on this one.
Democrats might be interesting to watch. They are mostly cucked to Israel, but they won’t want to pass on the opportunity to snipe at Trump.
I don’t think the majority of Americans bought the DMW bullshit back then either, but the war happened anyways because those in power wanted/let it happen. The people didn’t have a say in it.
I don’t know about a majority, but I lived through that as a young adult and I’d believe it if at least 51% of the US population bought the Iraq WMD crap. Colin Powell was a well respected military leader and political moderate and he cashed in all of his influence to sell the lies to Congress and the population.
Desperate for her job I see.
She is a shell of a human being whose only driving force is ambition and a complete lack of shame.
my theory is they they aren’t “people”.
they are mouthpieces of an institution. replaceable, and chosen for their bootlicking. if it wasn’t her, they would have chosen another puppet. same thing with CEOs, corporate goons, and most politicians.
if they were honest and had actual beliefs they’ll have extraordinary resistance, if they even get a chance to speak.
When I look at her eyes in a photo or video, I see the kind of evil where as she squeezed the life out of a kitten she would not laugh, cry, or grit her teeth. She would just stare, then tilt her head like a curious alien or Labrador without blinking.
Please note that I am a fan of both dogs and space, so I am sending zero insults their direction in that comparison. It’s like if I were to compare the number of times Trump shit his pants throughout his first term with the number of times my baby boy – born right after the inauguration – shit his pants over the same interval.
put them in a spreadsheet
if we assume linear relationships, then Iran will have nukes by 2018.
however it looks more like a log relationship, so Iran will always inch closer to nukes, but will never get them. I’m a century they’ll be seconds away, but never get them.
Bibi invented Zeno’s paradox
We killed all their scientists who could make them and blew up all their labs…
plus about 400 people.
maybe the west should stop giving Iran more reasons to get nukes.
Iran’s actions seem to stem more from their close relationship with the east. Most western allied states de-escelated or gave up nuclear capabilities, such as Ukraine.
Ukraine did it under the promise that US will protect them.
trump proved the world that relying on the US is a stupid ass idea and that nukes are more valuable than American promises
Counterpoint: Nukes are not providing Iran or North Korea any value. In fact it may very well be the justification for why they get wiped off the map.
North Korea has nukes and it never gets invaded and gets aid sent to it. Iran doesn’t have nukes and it is regularly attacked.
I’d say their presence adds very clear value to the example country that actually has them.
North Korea is surrounded by allied China on one side and proper democracies on the other, but has come close to war many times such as when they bombed an inter-korean liaison office in 2020.
I will repeat that the justification being used to attack Iran is Nuclear Weapons. It is not protecting them, it is the reason they are being attacked, and it also directly benefits hostile dictatorship Russia because they’re willing providers of nuclear weapons. Iran is being Grifted.
You keep writing like they have them and thats why they are being attacked. Its specifically because they dont yet have them that they are being attacked. If they already had them like North Korea, their situation would be more similar. I doubt people would be bombing them, in the same way people aren’t bombing North Korea despite it acting very hostile and making direct threats.
counter counter point, no one dares wipe off North Korea,
because US wiping north Korea means the end of LA.
are you aware of MAD?
Does it sound like a manchild like Trump cares about MAD? We’re on the precipice of a forever war, world war 3, or possibly even total annihilation of life on earth and you’re sitting there saying everything is great because hyper aggressive nations have nukes.
the US is the hyper aggressive country with nukes
Counterpoint: if it wasn’t nukes, there’d be some other justification. The alleged Iraqi WMD were never found, so basically we toppled their government (not that I’m exactly shedding tears over Saddam, but ISIS wasn’t great either), got a bunch of people killed, and blew two trillion dollars out of our ass for ???.
The alleged Iraqi WMD were never found but the CIA did present Aluminium tubes intel to congress at that time.
To be clear, I am not saying Iran could have avoided being attacked or that they should appeal to the USA, far from it. What they need to do is disarm nuclear research and tech in return for the ability to hide behind other NATO members and the EU, as opposed to taking offers from Russia and China which assuredly will not end well.
Nah, how about the US just stop finding excuses to throw away trillions of dollars getting people killed overseas for no reason.
I really hope all of the idiots supporting this shit are like 15 years old or something, because anyone who was alive when GW Bush went into Iraq has seen this shit before.
People think we’re fucking untouchable… We’re in for a major wakeup call, especially given that our intelligence apparatus has been gutted by Trump.
But it’s almost like that’s what they want so they can manufacturer consent for this bullshit war we have zero business being any part of.
In a fascist society the states enemy is your enemy
They are both strong and weak depending on the fascists agenda
this was has been so jarring.
I constantly get stuff like “Israel controls Iranian skys, it’s over for iran” and also “Israel about to run out of interceptors, cant stop the bombing, its really bad”
Absolutely everything in Trumpworld takes “two weeks”
Bullshit, some things happen on day one!!! Like the ending of the Russian invasion of Ukraine.
I’ve heard this before. At least a dozen times over 10 years
any moment now
