B-Man Posted 5 hours ago Posted 5 hours ago Dmitri Medvedev, former President of Russia and current Deputy Chair of the Security Council of the Russian Federation dropped a bombshell. Without specifying who, he asserts that "a number of countries are ready to directly supply Iran with their own nuclear warheads." One presumes that of the countries with nuclear weapons, North Korea would be the obvious one willing to provide Iran with a nuke. However, that is not a "number of countries," and the only other two that could conceivably do so are Russia and China. Currently, only the US, the United Kingdom, France, Russia, China, India, Pakistan, Israel, and North Korea have nukes. Which of these countries would part with their nukes is an odd question. It's hard to know how serious Medvedev is, or how influential he would be in deciding something of this magnitude. China seems like it would be far too cautious to do so, and it would be a wild decision for Russia to make. Also of interest in this statement is Medvedev's admission that Iran has been pursuing a nuclear weapon already, despite claims to the contrary. "We can now say it outright" is a confirmation of what we all knew already. Iran intended to build nukes. https://hotair.com/david-strom/2025/06/22/dmitri-medvedev-a-number-of-countries-ready-to-gift-iran-nukes-n3804061

You deflect, project, and foam at the mouth about madeup enemies because reality left you behind. Your entire rant is a mix of paranoia and playground-level insults. No one here thinks standing for human rights or due process means 'supporting terrorists.' That’s just the lazy fantasy you need to believe so you can keep pretending your side has the moral high ground - which it does not. We've been through this before. I havent watched a combined 20 minutes of Fox News in my entire life. Not cosplaying a Patriot in the least. Just using my God given common sense not to side with terrorists and illegal immigrants. I think my "rant" was pretty straight forward. No paranoia. No insults. Again, just reading your own words and making observations. There were plenty of names I could have called you. Instead, I just let you bury yourself. 1

Trump_is_Mentally_fit Posted 4 hours ago Posted 4 hours ago https://www.washingtonpost.com/national-security/2025/06/23/exclusive-israel-intelligence-iran-call-audio/ In the hours after Israel launched its first wave of strikes against Iran on June 13, killing top military leaders and nuclear scientists, Israeli intelligence operatives launched a covert campaign to intimidate senior officials with the apparent aim of dividing and destabilizing Tehran’s theocratic regime, according to three people familiar with the operation. People working for Israel’s security services who speak Persian, Iran’s primary language, called senior Iranian officials on their cellphones and warned them that they, too, would die unless they ceased supporting the regime of Ayatollah Ali Khamenei, Iran’s supreme leader, according to the three people, who spoke on the condition of anonymity to discuss clandestine operations. One of them estimated that more than 20 Iranians in positions of power were contacted. The Washington Post obtained an audio recording and transcript of one such call, which took place the same day, June 13, that Israel began its bombardment of Iran. “I can advise you now, you have 12 hours to escape with your wife and child. Otherwise, you’re on our list right now,” an Israeli intelligence operative told a senior Iranian general close to the country’s rulers, according to the audio recording. The operative then suggested that Israel could train weapons on the general and his family at any moment. “We’re closer to you than your own neck vein. Put this in your head. May God protect you,” he said. The general, a member of Iran’s powerful Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps, was told he had 12 hours to make a video disassociating himself from the Iranian government. “How should I send it to you?” the general replies. “I will send you a Telegram ID,” the operative says, referring to the Telegram messaging app. “Send it.” It is unclear if such a video was made or sent. The general is believed to be still alive and in Iran, said one of the people familiar with the operation. But a primary goal of the operation was to deter and confuse the Tehran leadership, a second person said. Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu’s office did not reply to a request for comment.
B-Man Posted 4 hours ago Posted 4 hours ago Iran Stands Alone Against Trump and Israel, Stripped of Allies. Iran’s leaders are discovering they’re on their own against the US and Israel, without the network of proxies and allies that allowed them to project power in the Middle East and beyond. As the Islamic Republic confronts its most perilous moment in decades following the bombing of its nuclear facilities ordered by US President Donald Trump, Russia and China are sitting on the sidelines and offering only rhetorical support. Militia groups Iran has armed and funded for years are refusing or unable to enter the fight in support of their patron. https://archive.is/MmW0o 1 1

SCBills Posted 3 hours ago Posted 3 hours ago (edited) 4 minutes ago, Trump_is_Mentally_fit said: So, they won't warn us you are saying? 🤷♂️ Have to hope our intelligence agencies are up to the task. We know terrorists and Chinese Nationals have been coming across the border. China buying up land. There is zero reason any of the above should have been so easily occurring. So now we have to pray we can snuff them out. But we can’t just sit around making foreign policy decisions off fear of foreign countries activating sleeper cells in our country because multiple Presidents.. especially our most recent one pre-Trump, allowed this to be a major concern. I do enjoy the sudden concern of sleeper cells now that Trump is President.. didn’t hear much from yall on this topic when Biden’s corpse was allowing whoever wanted to come into our country.

The Frankish Reich Posted 3 hours ago Posted 3 hours ago A big step back. 1970s. The common wisdom: the geographic coincidence that most of the world's usable oil is located under unstable monarchies in the Middle East forces the US to be involved in all kinds of otherwise local disputes that we'd rather not be part of. The dream: U.S. Energy Independence. That will free us from having to be involved in a region of ancient hatreds and poor governance. 2010s: the shale oil boom that had been anticipated since the 1970s finally becomes reality as fracking technology takes off. We are genuinely energy (at least oil/gas) independent! I guess we can disengage from these ancient disputes, right? That seems to be a big motivator for Trump voters, right? No. I guess not.
