This one guy isn't speaking for all Catholics.

I’m pretty sure that he does. Have you seen the Bible? It’s a whole thing.

The Archbishop of Chicago is - again - one guy. Nice try, though.

I read your comment too quickly and read it as "The Archbishop of Chicago is one nice guy." Yes he is! He also seems to have gotten the gist of the Bible pretty well. Unlike some of the so-called Christians supporting Trump and Hegseth, who are really immoral narcissists who take WWJD and then do the opposite.

Bruh. We're already at almost 120 tonight.

Dow futures down more than a 1000. Bloodbath in Asian markets. Nikkei and Kospi down more than 7 percent. Awesome idea attacking Iran without a plan.

Two weeks and energy markets crash. You could see $160 by Wednesday. The Israelis really f’ed up attacking the Iranians oil facilities. Iran can hit Saudis and other states oil facilities fairly easily. Of the three countries involved, Iranians seem the most rational at this point.

Asia may not be able to keep the lights on because there is no LNG being shipped.

This war is the dumbest, most poorly planned and executed thing imaginable. So let's stipulate that the Ayatollah was one bad dude. So we kill him -- but we also kill all the guys who would have been slightly preferable to him -- and in so doing, leave only his son, who is much younger and therefore will live a lot longer and will be harder to replace, and who was at least as anti-American as his dad BEFORE we killed his dad, his mom and his wife. So frying pan into fire, it appears.

I can't figure out any justification for this, except that these people are all just morons. I'm not sure Netanyahu is a moron, though, so I'm wondering if he thinks "the enemy of my enemy is my friend" and so the more enmity he can create between Iran and the U.S., the closer the U.S. will cleave to Israel? It's very Game of Thrones, but there are a million examples in history where that did not turn out really well for anyone.

Trump needs to stop this now.

If only a deal could have been struck to manage Iran's uranium stockpile

So if Trump just declares he won and the war is over, how does that play out? Do the Israelis stop? Do the Iranians?

There would have to be restitution for the damage and death, I would think.

Netanyahu is way over his skis. This is going to get a lot worst for Israel and US. There are so many simple, old proven counter measures and decoys that can be easily added to the Iranian ballistic missiles. The question is will Netanyahu use nuclear weapons and can anyone stop him?

Got to give the Iranians something of value.

If you had mapped out how t destroy the US in 14 months, trump couldn't have done it any better.

Now the Iranians are starting to use their more modern and accurate missiles/drones with humans in real time control. The Iranian are using iridium satellite system to communicate with their missiles/drones.

The Chinese and Russians are supplying real time targeting information. This is how they take out the US radars. Once the radars are down it allow more missiles to hit their targets.

The Iranians can build missiles/drones in real time and they have large stockpiles.

If you are interested here is a video deep dive with Ted Postol.

Postol is a professor emeritus of Science, Technology, and International Security at the Massachusetts Institute of Technology. Prior to his work at MIT, he worked at Argonne National Laboratory, the Pentagon, and Stanford University

I am watching this video and it is scary as sh#t. We can not stop the ballistic missiles.

For real. But all it takes is 20 Republican senators to do what is right and vote to impeach Trump. America and the world will be on fire with three more years of this.

I wouldn't put it past Netanyahu to use nuclear weapons. This is his war that he's been pushing for close to 40 years now and he's not going to get another shot.

Given his regime has killed hundreds of thousand in Gaza and Lebanon alone, the casualties that would result from nuclear usage wouldn't be enough to stop Israel.
