I know quite a few normie republicans in meatspace that are now sitting the midterms out and won't vote for him though, but that is just a single anecdote.
The midterms are far away. Prolonged involvement will tank trump. But a no-fly zone over iran that is manned by Israel, funded by Saudi Arabia and US just selling fuel and munitions and repairs to Israel probably won't.

(Arguably, the US paid a tremendous indirect toll, as all the resources they earmarked for the Manhattan project would otherwise have gone into mundane military equipment which would have saved the lives of their soldiers
Like what really?
American industry provided almost two-thirds of all the Allied military equipment produced during the war: 297,000 aircraft, 193,000 artillery pieces, 86,000 tanks and two million army trucks. In four years, American industrial production, already the world's largest, doubled in size.
American soldiers stationed in the pacific used airplanes to churn ice cream (mount on the wing use some kind of RAM turbine to stir, fly high for one hour), and they converted the excess ships into ice cream supplies for the fleet.

Total informational blackout, facial ID systems and military drones are going to make occupations much less painful.
And then I use some zero day because you vibe coded the software and your own network is busy killing you.

Here a Premier London agent named, Sigismund Neumann kept the large diamond for safe keeping. When they transported the large diamond, they had to take extreme measures to keep it safe. The Cullinan was sent in a plain box via parcel post while detectives from London were asked to transport a replica as a decoy publically.
They have 500kg of the good stuff. That is 25 liters of uranium. It takes two plain vans. In the chaos after a strike with all the ambulances, contractors that repair and so on it is easy to be lost in the fray IF you have guys that can keep their mouths shut and their signatures are not too visible. You only need couple of embedded guys there with the proper credentials to take over the uranium when it hits the fan.

Close with what exactly? Until they sort out their air defenses everything they have there will be sitting ducks.

This will happen only in ground war with Iran. Serbia bombings didn't hurt clinton. And let's be clear - MAGA americans love those kind of display of american might mic drops. As long as the bodycount is 0 and the involvement short - it may even net him votes.

Has the USG directly confirmed the use of MOP?
There are only 3 things being thrown out of this airplane in that kind of operation that make sense. They are by order of letality MOPs, Nukes and Chuck Norris. It wasn't nukes. We would know. It wasn't chuck Norris - you would only need 1 plane, not 6. And there won't be a need for in flight refueling - when they run out of fuel he will just get off the aircraft and push it to the destination. So it leaves MOPs.
And inside those facilities there is a shitload of nasty stuff that could create what sjw call toxic working environment. So I think that even minor damage could cascade into unsalvigably contaminated facility.
There is always possibility that iran has backup facility and some sort of top secret clandestine protocol that they will pull all of the enriched stuff to it with first signs if danger. And they already did it two weeks ago. Whether they are capable of pulling such tight opsec is exercise left to the reader.

On the one hand I don't think Iran has provided the US sufficient reason to attack them (at least not one that's recent and public). On the other... eh, Iran's government sucks and I'm not going to lose sleep over it.
That is the consensus in my part of twitter.
Can you give me some examples of how Turkey is a more Islamic country today than in 2001?
Hagia Sophia. Erdogan keeping interest rates low during could also fall under this but I have a suspicion that he used it so his allies can inflate their debts and buy bankrupts business for cents on the dollar.
What are these “secular people” in Turkey going to do once in power to please you?
Committing to hardline Kemalism. Again. So we can finally accept Turkey in the EU. Before saying something - I don't believe in freedom of religion, but in freedom from religion.
Edit: yeah kebabs are good but they are good literally everywhere. Is Erbil the only place you ever visited in the Middle East or something?
Hmm... here is quick shawarma/kebab comparison from the places I have been. We don't discuss in europe because it is mediocre at best. And in north africa I don't have much impressions. Aside from Erbil - in Istanbul they are meh, in Ankara are really good, ditto in Ismir, bland un Dubai, forgettable in Oman, let's not talk about pakistan, surprisingly decent are the afghani ones, but probably the best are in Uzbekistan. The kazah one i ate them from the other side of the border with china - so can't comment. Lahmacuns, kunefe, gozleme and pide are other beer - the only place in the world they make them right is in Turkey (everywhere).
Turkey is too powerful and Erdogan is eyeing parts of the Balkans and probably Cyprus. So I either want the country to be weaken or to self secularize. I also don't want pro western middle east - weak and busy with infighting also gets the job done. Greece is too weak to be counter balance, so is Bulgaria. And I doubt that NATO will do shit if he attacks any one of those two countries.
So yes. I want Turkey to have problems east and south, as to not look north and east

Although it seems far-fetched, it also seemed far-fetched that an assassination of an archduke could spiral to a world wide conflagration.
That is absolutely not what happened. The war was inevitable at this point. It is not surprising that the killing of the archduke lead to the war, it is surprising that it had taken so long for something to lit powder keg.

Fixes one of the greatest injustices in the post ottoman collapse. Erbil is absolutely great. It is the safest place with kindest people in all of the arab peninsula and Iran. It is pro western, really peaceful and have the best kebabs. United Kurdistan will create a strong center in the region that will be pro west and will weaken simultaneously Iran, Syria, Iraq and Turkey. And until Erdogan and his faction are in power everything that weakens Turkey is unadulterated good. If the secular people come in power it will be different, but so far it is long shot.

Doesn't really matter. That is the thing with shooting people - if the penalty is swift and inevitable you won't be forced to shoot too many of them.

Russia has no way of helping Iran. If this was in 3 years time and the war in Ukraine has ended with massive Russian victory and they couldn't turn off their military industrial complex for fear of the holy mother of depressions then I could see them sending shitload of material for cold hard cash. The only party that could help Iran now is China. But they still test their toys in Ukraine. And shipping now is hard. It is obvious that Iran has zero opsec. So they cannot arrange securely receiving anything even if someone was willing to send it to them.

Shotguns also are good in reducing polygamy/polyandry to monogamy.

And as of lately dysfunctional. I think that government systems must rotate every few years to prevent people from learning how to game the system.
I am certain that bringing something else in USA than first past the post will improve the current quality of governing, not because of superiority of the new system but of the shakeup. Same with bringing first past the post 20 years later. For a new shakeup.

HACKER: Don't tell me about the press. I know exactly who reads the papers. The Daily Mirror is read by people who think they run the country. The Guardian is read by people who think they ought to run the country. The Times is read by the people who actually do run the country. The Daily Mail is read by the wives of the people who run the country. The Financial Times is read by people who own the country. The Morning Star is read by people who think the country ought to be run by another country. And The Daily Telegraph is read by people who think it is. HUMPHREY: Prime Minister, what about people who read The Sun? BERNARD: Sun readers don't care who runs the country as long as she's got big tits.

A brilliant stratagem in the culture war - if your hand is worth playing, then is it worth overplaying and then you look like a surprised pikachu when the pendulum start swinging in the other direction.

I really love how trust erosion in the news is something that just happens. No one is responsible. The same way cars ram into parades. It just happens people.
2015 the media decided that stopping Trump is more important than the truth and they burned the social capital that they have been accumulating for more than a century. Trump is not stopped and they don't deliver the truth. So what is the point in their existence?

just get completely wasted and go out of control on live shows, though of course it would be hard to create a political/news project based on that concept.

Ahh yes. I haven't been able to find direct quotes for eternity. And we are talking for punchlines of popular jokes here for example.

It's going to follow the model of Libya and Syria, with bombing campaigns coincided with arming and fomenting a civil war in Iran
I am all on board if this can lead to united Kurdistan. Erbil is probably the only good place to live in the region.

What are your experiences with the latest google search auto summary AI. I find it hilariously bad - usually the summary is opposite of what i am looking for/the truth.
