RatkoVarda Posted June 23 Posted June 23 If Iranian agents attack America, it will be all Biden's fault, unless they attack California, in which case it will be Newsome's fault, or attack Chicago, in which case it will be Obama's fault Quote

There is enough content in all the other areas that I still feel I get my money's worth (of course I have a discounted subscription!) but geez, I try not to even look at any of the political coverage anymore excepting Ezra Klein, and his stuff is usually broader than just partisan politics. Just a wasteland of nonsense. Quote

It's a cult. I had the misfortune of being peripherally involved with a group of Pentecostals in the ‘90s. Superficially friendly but bat****-crazy folks with terrible theology and worse politics, and absolutely a specific Type. I’m not a bit surprised to see them caught up in MAGA. (Assuming we’re talking about true believers here and not pure knavish operators and grifters, of course. MAGA houses plenty of both.) Quote

Motown Bombers Posted June 23 Posted June 23 Israel has done a number on Iran’s government operations. The ayatollah is sealed in a bunker somewhere. Certain officials in Iran may not even know about the ceasefire. Quote

Certain officials in Iran may not even know about the ceasefire. So years ago when we in the West were just beginning to be jolted by the Islamist fundamentalist movement, Bernard Lewis was one of the leading Middle East scholars and he wrote a few books about it. One of his themes was that when a culture that was once ascendant sort of falls from grace and success, the religious in that society will argue that it was because of loss of piety in the society. So for Islam the final fall of the long decaying Ottoman empire at the end of WWI is what set things off, that led by the 70's and 80's to all kinds of crazies both on the Sunni and Shia sides trying to build pious Islamic fundamentalist states (or non-states) in the hope that Allah's resulting favor would allow them to bring back the Caliphate and vault them into a reprise of the cultural supremacy they had in the 12th century. One can only hope that the serial failures of Al Qaida, Isis, Hamas, Hezbollah, and the 'under performance' of the IROI will finally disabuse the Islamic world of the idea that the turbaned heads are going to bring them power and glory if they'd only grow their beards and suppress their women. Now if can break the same paradigm we are getting from the religious right in the US, we might also get somewhere ourselves. 2 Quote
GalagaGuy Posted June 24 Posted June 24 Of course Iran is going to agree to a ceasefire. Now they can sweep up the dust and get back to working on their nuclear weapons as soon as the trucks with the enriched uranium return it to the Fordo site. Quote
