facialimpediment posted:Better, he actually hurt his own case. It's apparently common for the prosecution to give the defense the first three witnesses they're going to call. Prosecution said "uh, we're not doing that because *gesticulates wildly at Trump*". Leading to this exchange: quote:Trump attorney Todd Blanche asked who the DA's Office plans to call as their first three witnesses. Joshua Steinglass from office refused on the basis that Trump has been tweeting about them.

LtCol J. Krusinski posted:All they had to do was exercise a modicum of restraint. A bunch of stuff I saw today: There was a floated deal that the Americans were proposing Israel recognizes a Palestinian state in exchange for cemented Saudi Arabian ties. US vetoed recognition of a Palestinian state at the UN. Jordan sent a message to Israel (through the US) asking that Israel wouldn't use their airspace in any counterattack. Fallout was renewed by Amazon Prime for a second season. Busy day!

Sure would be nice if the US had swatted down the Israeli strike to minimize risk of escalation the same way it did Iran's, but we can't have nice things.

orange juche posted:Looks like we get to test how much POTUS stands by Israel going it alone if they want to throw hands at Iran. Probably going to depend on what Israel hit in Iran proper. Current reports can't decide if it was a nuclear facility or a drone production facility. Also some reports that the place in Iraq they hit was some militia meeting. Probably will find out when I wake up! Edit: good initial sign that Iran is saying their nuke facilities are fine facialimpediment fucked around with this message at 04:09 on Apr 19, 2024 |

It is something said by an Israeli leader about Palestinians, though I can't remember the guys name. All the while Israel turns a city of 2 million people into rubble, kills tens of thousands of people, mostly women and children, and seems highly interested in starting an even larger war in the area. Not to mention they're now intent on starving the people that they haven't already killed. When is enough, enough?

I wonder if Israel intentionally targeted Iranian drone production facilities that would put a squeeze on the arms trade between Iran and Russia? It seems like the kind of targeting that they could attempt to sell to the US as being mutually beneficial, even if its an escalation. Biden really needs to shut this poo poo down immediately. Any further escalation results in a policy shift with respect to defending Israel would be great to hear.

He was the heir apparent but the status of being his dad's favorite shifted to his brother. Couldn't let that happen so he decided to strap his butt to a make-shift bunkerbuster. The amusing part is I think the facility they were aiming for had been taken out by the RAF earlier.
