The US Israel nexus are completely agreement incapable.

Laos and Cambodia all over again. They posted a photo of last weeks Iranian strikes on Ali Al Salem air base in which the pentagon claimed all missiles were intercepted but 7 soldiers were injured and 2 drones were damaged by debris from intercepted missiles. Amazingly that debris managed to make 4 nice big smoking holes right in the centre of buildings with no apparent damage other than that. You’d think that with jesus on their side the Americans would have better luck.

Posted by: Jane | May 31 2026 19:22 utc | 29 A shocker! Wow – the ur-neocon Robert Kagan was on CNN’s Fareed Zakaria program this morning; blames Trump for the stupid lost war. He repeats his talking points from the Atlantic a few weeks ago. Finally the MSM is talking ‘tacheles’. Posted by: fanto | May 31 2026 19:31 utc | 30 Imagine | May 31 2026 18:15 utc | 20 Posted by: fanto | May 31 2026 19:44 utc | 31 A casino is a place where dummies and the lower middle class and blue collar types get drunk and give away their money. This is a can’t miss business model, right? So it takes a special talent to bankrupt not just one, but two, casinos. So it is entirely plausible such a unique talent, if placed in charge of an entire country, with a concerted effort might just be able to bankrupt said country. But who could possibly have foreseen this unique talent might just be able to bankrupt the entire frigging planet? Even the gods must be rolling on the floor in mirth.

I suspect this is a 300 kg of explosive Maham-3 naval mine that’s broken off its tether and floating around. This is chemical activated contact naval mine when if one of the horns that contain electrolyte solution is broken, the chemicals release inside the body that will ignite a spark like a battery creating an explosion. Posted by: KillerDoll | May 31 2026 20:18 utc | 33 Nothing is ever silent. Posted by: Suresh | May 31 2026 20:36 utc | 34 It is interesting watching the US oligarchy thrash around within a trap of its own making with it desperately trying to find a way of not paying the toll at the exit, amplified through Trump’s narcissistic personality. Iran’s “we will need a few days before reiterating our previous minimum requirements” mode of diplomacy is utterly new to a US that is used to punishing its opponents even when it loses with more sanctions and demands. This is a historic moment given Iran’s second-tier status, especially after Russia’s surviving of the proxy war and the “sanctions from hell”, and China’s easy taming of US aggression.

Posted by: Andrew Sarchus | May 31 2026 22:33 utc | 47 I think it is amusing to think that trump has any agency in the situation. It is a USA/Israeli alliance and trump is merely the current figure head used to be the fall guy for plans long made.

Commercial vessels are reportedly operating in “dark mode” (transponders switched off), while U.S.-guided routing systems steer traffic away from the Iranian coastline toward safer corridors closer to Oman. The article says that about 70 ships have gotten through this way.

Posted by: malenkov | Jun 1 2026 4:10 utc | 77 What I do find somewhat fascinating, or at least mildly interesting is the tendency of a particular commenter who seems very keen on human psychology, pattern recognition and a fixation on comparing perceived past messaging to what is perceived as current messaging. That in itself isn’t all too unusual. It’s that this person also acts quite naive when it comes to their own output and patterns. I really DGAF if it’s “Wisco” or not (in the sense that whoever the original person to go by that name is concerned); what I do feel obliged to call out (for their own benefit) is that literally anyone who reads and comments here knows that they’re the same person (mistakenly?) identified as “Wisco” time and time again….every day, every night ad nauseum. If a rank amateur psychologist like me can see it, so can any 8 year old.
