  1. Well he went to school there, played for them under Bob Knight, and was their head coach for 5 years.
  2. The interesting question is how much could China ramp up its own domestic oil production. They buy 2/3s of Iran's total exports, but that only accounts for 15% of their total crude imports. Considering their significant oil deposits, you'd think they could cover that loss domestically if they absolutely had to, but it would take time of course.
  3. Iran says no nuclear talks under fire, UN atomic watchdog urges maximum restraint | Reuters I really hope it was actually a mistake and they didn't bomb Bushehr. There is no reason to hit that plant.
  4. It's only ever really been bordering countries and IIRC they've never occupied another country for any significant period of time other than Vietnam.
  5. I suppose it kind of depends on how far you go back, but in short, yes, but not very frequently. Invasion of Vietnam in 1979 was the last time.
  6. It's remarkable that he has the stones to complain about anyone considering he literally switched accounts because of the awful reputation of his original. Fucking pussy.
  7. Disrupting global trade would be my guess
  8. Who has expressed a different opinion?
  9. Agreed, but on the other side of the coin, not recognizing a decades old "we have to do war cuz WMD" playbook is also pretty bonkers.
  10. Hard pass on following weird Zionists
  11. The questions are basic but the adversarial tone should be the standard as well. Journalists aren't your fucking friend they're supposed to get the truth out of you. For whatever reason, US journalists have become too afraid to be adversarial most of the time. Probably because conservative politicians are cowards that behave like DT posters when challenged on anything.
  12. https://www.the-independent.com/news/world/americas/us-politics/tucker-carlson-ted-cruz-interview-highlights-b2773012.html Good summary of all the stupid shit Ted Cruz said.
  13. I can't stand either of them, but I watched the Tucker Carlson/Ted Cruz interview and it is absolutely astonishing what Tucker is able to goad Cruz into admitting with regard to not only Israel, but Iran as well. He would be such an incredible journalist if he wasn't such a piece of shit. The Independent has a fantastic summary here: https://www.the-independent.com/news/world/americas/us-politics/tucker-carlson-ted-cruz-interview-highlights-b2773012.html
  14. He doesn't respond to any criticism. I literally clocked his ass in less than a minute for posting a "news" story in a screenshot without a link because he was trying to hide the source and he instantly moved on.
  15. Literally less than 2 minutes of my time using a search engine.
  16. Anyway, back to real news that isn't exclusively being reported by the Daily Wire: https://www.reuters.com/world/europe/european-ministers-hold-nuclear-talks-with-iran-friday-geneva-source-says-2025-06-18/

  18. Why are you hiding the fact that you're getting your news from this source? https://www.dailywire.com/news/fake-israeli-phone-call-triggered-meeting-of-iranian-leaders-then-israel-targeted-meeting-location
  19. https://www.reuters.com/world/middle-east/americas/israel-iran-air-war-enters-sixth-day-trump-calls-irans-unconditional-surrender-2025-06-17/ Cool dude thanks just let me know
  20. Why don't you keep my name out of your fucking smarmy Bill Maher ass mouth when I haven't even posted all day? The fuck is wrong with you? You report every single post I make that even tangentially mentions you and you still can't stop yourself from mentioning me every time you get into a fight with someone about Israel? Do I really occupy that much space inside your dome? Get help and leave me alone, dawg! I don't want to engage you anymore because you don't have any emotional self control when it comes to anything to do with the Middle East or any criticism of Trump. It's exhausting and I doubt I'm the only one that feels that way! There's serious shit going on right now and you guys can't stop shitting up the thread arguing about 10/7 and bringing up petty personal grievances. Stop it!
  21. Yeah I would think it would have to be a targeted, precision op. Dropping MOABs everywhere ain't gonna do it.
  22. People are often really stupid about people who are nice to them and refuse to see what they really are.
  23. Yeah there is no real reason beyond the shitty, religious extremist ideology of the mullahs. They were strategic allies prior to the Iranian Revolution. No reason it can't be the case in the future. Aside from the ones I gave, of course.
  24. He's the perfect dumb guy. Doesn't know shit about fuck but isn't a piece of shit about most stuff (I could name some stuff he is real bad on but it doesn't really matter), isn't interested in making everyone else as dumb as he is a la Joe Rogan. Mostly cares about sports and pizza. I'd hoist a beer or 10 with him.
