    He misspoke. It’s OK, actually funny. You twist it whichever way that makes you happy.

    So who’s “we” in this rant? So, “we” now at war while MAGA proclaims that Dear Donnie’s just a peace lover?

    Good question. We (the people) does not appear to Congress and following the War Powers Act in the “Truth Social” age. Congress is asleep at the wheel of their Constitutional remit. The midterms can’t come soon enough.

    Well, hi Die- how's it going on the football board; a lot handringing over losing Shivers?!? Depth may be an issue now at DT. Anyway, I'll be back on when camp starts in August.

    For Israel/Iran, I think you're off on your evaluation. Israel is pounding Iran. Shot for shot, I'm guessing it's 99 to 1 for Israel. There are many individual Israeli pilots who've inflicted more damage on Iran than all of Iran has done to Israel.

    Why does Trump have all of the smoke for Iran but not Russia?

    I ignored nothing, I read the entire report (currently on my desktop). Not sure how it is relevant to the point I was making. The IAEA is not experts in missile technology, ignition circuitry, etc...further, if we are talking about the same report (dated June 9) the IAEA reported that the conversion of Uranium Hexafluoride to uranium metal was still halted and had not be restarted since the 2021 shut down.

    You've heard of Ukraine I imagine. You might even stand with Ukraine. You might believe it started when Russia marched into Ukraine.

    Just because we developed technology to fight from the skies or have another country's men fighting a war for us and our allies doesn't mean we weren't at war.

    So
    The most well known and respected ex-CIA analyst on X is probably Ray McGovern. Wiki: "McGovern was a CIA analyst from 1963 to 1990, and in the 1980s chaired National Intelligence Estimates and participated in preparing the President's Daily Brief. He received the Intelligence Commendation Medal at his retirement, returning it in 2006 to protest the CIA's involvement in torture." A group he co-founded is called Veteran Intelligence Professionals for Sanity. McGovern has the ability and temperament to see events from a Russian perspective, which is enough to make many Too Hot commentators collapse to the drawing room floor with a case of the vapors.

    Like Sharmine Narwani and me, Ray McGovern warned yesterday of the possibility of an Israeli attack on the USS Nimitz:
