Iran procured nukes from Russia when the USSR collapsed and the agency controlling its nukes went rogue and was selling off assets. Completely plausible scenario. If Iran isn’t pursuing a nuke while facing an existential threat from the US and Israel, they already have one.
The Iranian “president” on the (formerly) advanced effort to build a nuclear weapon: “It is not a big deal.” @BretBaier: “It is a big deal actually.” Indeed it is. Ordering the destruction of decades of Iran’s secretive enrichment capabilities is the most important action of President Trump’s tenure. Bringing about the collapse of the regime would be even more significant.

By the way, Israel is using the same logic Russia is using to claim Ukraine, some bullshit about ancient kingdoms and property rights based on myths. Same shit different asshole.
Netanyahu, who's family originates from Lithuania and Russia, claims the Golan Heights belong to Israel and not Syria, based on the bible . Most historians and archaeologists agree that there is no direct physical or non-biblical historical evidence that Moses was a real person, the Bible was written over the span of 1,500 years and is a collection of differing ancient texts from 3 different continents. Israel is 78 years old.

Gavin Newsom hands huge win to Trump and his billionaire cronies.
Today, billionaires have yet again bribed, censored, and bullied their way to the top. As a result, a billionaire media conglomerate closely allied with the president will soon own one of its closest rivals, including some of the nation’s most critical news outlets. Saudi Arabia’s sovereign wealth fund will co-own those outlets, too. Layoffs will follow. People from L.A. to Atlanta will lose their jobs, small businesses will lose their contracts, your cable bill and movie ticket will be even more expensive. Dissent against money and power will be even harder to find. This did not have to happen. Thanks to an extraordinary outpouring of grassroots anger against the merger, a coalition of 12 state attorneys general sued to block it. They beat Paramount in court, winning a court-ordered pause on the merger, and beat them again at the negotiating table, getting the conglomerate to agree to pause the merger until as late as next June. But the Ellison family does not care about the law. Instead, they loudly threatened to leave California if their merger did not go through immediately. Gavin Newsom caved to that pressure. So did Xavier Becerra. And eventually, so did Attorney General Rob Bonta, agreeing to a weak settlement that will be exceedingly difficult to enforce. People want champions who are not afraid of rich bullies. Newsom, Becerra, and Bonta did not meet that mark. The people who work in the film and TV industry and the small businesses who support it will suffer as a result. And so will everyone who values dissent in our democracy. This is not the end. The coalition that fought to block this illegal merger will fight to break up big media. There is legislation pending in Congress today that would retroactively break up corrupt billionaire mergers. This industry was once marked with strict rules so that a small handful of conglomerates couldn’t own everything. There’s no reason we cannot return to that reality. There’s no reason we can’t build on it. But today is a loss, and that loss will be felt by the people who can least afford it.

I figured it was something like this. NEVER believe anything Trump says, and be very skeptical of what his goons say. They're all a bunch of liars.
BREAKINGNEWS: Denmark and Greenland say they have no clue what Trump is talking about. However they agree there is a security agreement that changes nothing about Greenland being a sovereign nation that will determine thier own future. That US has always had large military presence on Greenland. The agreement will be signed next week, if Parliament approves deal. 🚨

When life gives you lemons, you make lemonade. Here is the thing. Paramount may be leaving, but they can't take most of the infrastructure (like sound stages) with them. The city should landmark the studios so they can't be used for any other purpose to make movies. With Paramount gone, these facilities become available for independent filmmaking, ideally on the cheap! Lets face it, Paramount makes crap like all corporate studios make anyway. Corporate Hollywood is dead and good riddance!!! Long live independent Hollywood. A good mayor could manage that transition. Sadly, I think our current mayor wants to destroy LA. She will probably allow the lots to be purchased and used for AI data centers instead of making movies.

Just shut'm down. We lived just fine before AI and WE DON'T NEED THEM. AI is ruining San Francisco and has created a rabid Yimby crowd that's wrecking the city. They need to all go home and leave us alone. Screw AI!
Ok this is starting to feel like a f*cking disaster. The CEO of Anthropic just published an article admitting AI is already building the next generation of AI by itself. He says within 6 to 12 months a rogue swarm could take over the entire internet and cause hundreds of billions of dollars in damage. And what makes it scarier, Elon Musk just backed up everything Dario said. All of this dropping just days after Jacob Coxon went viral with his warning about AI and the extinction of humanity. Tell me this timing isn't strange.

@CNN @CNNSOTU @jaketapper @DanaBashCNN just curious if you folks plan to cover the US complete collapse in the Middle East? Sounds like Iran wiped out our bases across the region, and because of that we couldn’t respond to the Houthis route of Yemeni government forces.

The Saudis requested assistance, but we don’t have the regional infrastructure to respond to the Houthi aggression. Then Iran affiliates in Iraq destroyed pumping stations on the east-west oil pipeline cutting off the gulf nation’s Strait of Hormuz bypass. The Saudis

requested assistance from Pakistan but were declined. Now, there is evidently a meeting of oil ministers in the gulf to capitulate to Iranian demands to get their oil out. Iran has won this war while Trump golfs in Ireland. Quite a story.

How I remember it was Trump sold the 45th floor of Trump Tower to the Kingdom of Saudi Arabia in June of 2001, then on 9/11 said he took the elevator to get a better view, and bragged about 40 Wall Street now being the tallest tower.
Trump claims that after 9/11, "I went down, I was building a building in New York, and I went down there very shortly thereafter -- the following day, you couldn't go down the same day -- and we worked long and hard"

When I first introduced legislation to make public colleges tuition-free in 2015, it was called “a radical idea.” Not anymore. Today, nearly 1,000 colleges in 45 states are tuition-free for working families. We can’t stop there. All public colleges must be tuition-free — period.

Trump during the 2024 campaign on Venezuelan oil: “We’re buying tar from Venezuela and we’re refining it in Houston. It’s the dirtiest, worst oil anywhere in the world. And we’re refining it - so you can imagine what’s going up in the air.”
