Nothing on this Earth is fool-proof, BB. Although not perfect, the dome has performed well from what I can tell.

What is that, but a transparent attempt by Netanyahu to override the will of the POTUS, and forcefully drag America deeper into war?

Damn good point. It's certainly a part of the Israeli playbook. This morning's dispatches were Trump's answer to such attempts, I suppose.

I didn't see the Medvedev thing. BTW, what does he actually do?

Dont want to rain on the parade...

Oh no, you aren't raining on my parade, your comments are more like a nice Spring breeze and mild warm front passing through my parade.

America certainly has the wherewithal, but it lacks the will.

Good point.

America will always back down? Will the American people support a forceful intervention by Trump in Ukraine or Taiwan?

The question Xi or Putin may be asking though is "Do we want to find out if America will back down? Do we want to find out if there will be American support of a forceful intervention by Trump?"

Trump has shown he is willing to take it to domestic agitators as well.

I absolutely love how he signs off as Donald T Trump, Prez of USA or, even better, thank you for you attention to this matter.

Life / Why are so many Polish People rude on the internet? [147]

me making a lot of (albeit incredibly witty) rude comment

With this put me in the Fan of WarSore column.

But, please tell, you are here in PF because of self-loathing, right? You were probably drawn to Poland by Kasia who you met while she served you a pint of ale while you watched your Aston Villa club (Yippee Aye Eh, Yippee Aye Oh, mother(blankety-blanks) in a North London pub. She broke your heart

But, it's not the broken heart that triggered the self-loathing. Its the realization that even though Poland is below the civilized standards of The King's Realm, that Poland is a delusional self-righteous hypocrite, a dirty church-going wh0re, she has crept into your DNA like a covid mRNA booster shot. She has seduced you. She owns you.

You'll never go back to Angloed Isle and all her majesty and shine. You know you'll never leave the bed of your shameful lover: Poland.

No more Yippee Ah Oh..it's Tańczymy Labada from now to forever.

True? 😀

You're too kind. Don't forget Torq, he's got a wicked pen.

Bobko is a beast of a writer. Interesting thing about Bobko is his writing voice sounds like his actual voice, IMO.

You are talking to a Michigander now Mr. Boastful

To a feeble-minded Michigander, my Buckeye elegance and savant like talent may seem boastful, but, in truth, my humility is so profound and deep that I'd blush at even thinking about mentioning my aforementioned qualities.

Detroit's population has increased in the past two years

No kidding? I guess I stand corrected. Good for Detroit. Still, Boise's better.

That was some great writing

Very kind of you.

Trump's a different animal. Good play by him, IMO. He knows it was nothing but a face saving move on Iran's part and it was feeble. It's kind of a backhand slap to Iran. Nobody trolls like the Trumpster.

We'll be in Poland in a couple weeks. Looking at cars to rent while we are there. The Peugeot 208 keeps popping up.

Anyone familiar with this car? Would it fit 5 people and 3 carry on bags and one bigger piece of luggage?

Breaking:

President Trump, who never ever speaks in grandiose or embellished terms, has reported that Iran and Israel have agreed to a complete and total ceasefire.

You think Russia is giving Iran some cover? Or, maybe, Pooty-Poot told the Grand Ayatollah, "I'd love to help ya, but I'm tapped. Good luck!" Or some other iteration?

Is then this really the best time to bomb Iran?

With such profound musings, I see you are currently atop the Throne of Deliberation.

But to answer your question:
What I mean - is why does a kid born in the inner city of Detroit face a 10X higher potential mortality than a white kid in Boise, Idaho?

The kid in Boise is somewhere in the neighborhood of 40x more likely to grow up with both parents in the home.

Boise's population is growing, while Detroit's is declining. So, yes, it's a good time to bomb Iran. Not that I've concluded we should've done such yet; although, I'm leaning towards thumbs up.

@Novichok

Calling them as you see them oftentimes calls for nuance, because what you see contains nuance that translates to a nuanced call.

Then there is the language of nuance, which is much more credible and effective. Sometimes that nuanced language may be a simple "go f yourself" but most of the time it entails some slightly more sophisticated but not overwrought.

@Bobko

Poles have great ironic and absurdist humor. The funny ones have some great, what I call, association humor. They are able to associate something humorous with the mundane.

For instance, someone asked my wife how she liked her tea. She said, "like I like my men, strong and hot. "

Who you think I am when you say "anyone else

Well, let's be real, we know that after your day job of investing capital in promising going-concerns, your real job starts.

Typical Bobi post 9-5 evening:

A trip to the Upper Eastside for a dinner with monied well-connected patricians whose surnames have become brands within the market of influence. You beguile them with your erudition-with how you seamless knit together a tapestry of early 20th century Icelandic literature, Bantu philosophy (who even knew such existed), the effects of Polynesian economic policy on the common fruit fly population in the Pacific, and the octatonic scale used by Russian composers of tonal music.

After the upper crusted have been properly seduced, you excuse yourself and make your way down to the Village to a small warehouse flat owned by the former Tom Schmidt who now goes by GLOM to meet up with post-modern and anarchist artists from Bushwick and DUMBO. Here you explore and strategize how their talents can be used for certain political means.

It's about 9:15 pm now, so you hail a taxi and make your way to the Financial District to have a drink or two with your heavily intoxicated banking contacts. This is the part of the evening you hate most as these guys lack the remotest hint of elan.

You purify yourself by heading over to Alphabet City to listen to poetry and plant ideas. The underground has ears in the Alphabet.

On your way home, you stroll the John Finley not just to soak in the East River, but to retrieve a tightly wrapped inconspicuous package.

You arrive home tired. Rub your eyes. Open the laptop tucked in the floorboard in your closet. Enter your vpn password. Write and send your daily dispatch to your Kremlin handlers.

So, considering the above, I thought maybe, just maybe, every now-and-again you receive a dispatch coming the other way.

I see. Putin has said Russia is taking steps to help the Iranian people. Any word in Russian media or anyone else what steps he means?
From Dresden and Hamburg, to Tokyo, to Ho Chi Minh City.

...to Kyiv.

But, I wonder if Israel knows something us mere mortals don't...I mean, Mossad is pretty crafty and treacherous.

This may mean that Medvedev's rant isn't just bluster, and that there truly was minimal damage.

His bluster was to arm Iran with nukes, so that may mean significant damage was done? IAEA believes highly probable Fordow suffered significant damage.

Just read in WSJ that Israel is now hitting symbolic targets to message to the Iranian people the regime is weak.
