Iran's been within 2 weeks to 2 months of achieving a nuke for the past 20+ years. Come the fuck on, get some new material.

I'd love for someone to break down to me in precise technical terms what exactly they'd need to do to make a nuke operational that would only take 2 weeks. If its that close how do they know for sure that a bombing campaign would actually affect the timeline? Seems like they'd have to do a ground invasion and search under every rock in the nation until they made sure it was clear of nuclear material otherwise they'd never know for sure.

It could be perpetually 2 more weeks to the bomb unless we take drastic measures to defend our greatest ally.

I'd love to meet the kind of person that unironically buys Trumpcoin or a Trump phone thinking it's not going to be shit.

Might as well say, "The faggots will keep acting like faggots".

Nigger, you can't have a Joe Rogan because your party despises everything that Joe Rogan is, and every dude that works out, that has a normal life, that has discipline looks would never look at the left because there is nothing they can offer him.

I'd say you're asking for the impossible; because Iran seems to exist in some weird perpetual state of being the most dangerous threat but also a paper tiger. Israel is apparently so engrained in their country, they were able to setup multiple places to launch that attack a few days ago, and know everything that Iran does; but is also somehow really scared of them because they're crazy and all that other shit they say. Whether they do or not, I don't know, and I half-ass don't fucking care; because WMDs is one of the lies sold to us to go into Iraq after 9/11, and that was years after numerous "NATO inspectors" claiming Iraq has WMDs, they just move them around a lot. Israel apparently has all the data and that seems to require us to enact military action, and I'm fucking sick of it. If Iran is that close and they do get a nuke, I hope they fucking wipe Jerusalem and Tel Aviv off the fucking map.

The Israeli ads I keep being recommended on YouTube claim that Iran already has enough enriched material for 9 nukes, so I guess they are claiming it takes 2 weeks to build a reaction chamber?

I'm forced to come to one of 3 conclusions:

1. Israel and the media (i repeat myself) have been lying to us for literal years that Iran was weeks away from making nuke in which case there's no reason to believe them now.
2. Iran has had the capacity to make a nuke for 20 years and they haven't yet which really makes you wonder why we're freaking out about them.
3. Iran has had the technical capacity for years but they're so retarded they can't figure out how to actually do it which also makes them a lot less threatening.
 
Fyi, I've got low flying military jets in the air around my place at a much higher rate than normal. Every time they train around here something dumb happens in the ME.

I'd put all my money on this; as I already said, WMDs was one of the lies sold to us to go back for Iraq Part 2. Never found any WMDs either, but our intelligence and Mossad swore they were there. That just moved a lot faster and in the wake of 9/11, so it was probably a much easier sell. But I remember hearing about how Iran is the biggest threat to stability in the region and how they're gonna nuke Israel and then the USA, in that exact order; and after a decade or more of hearing the same shit and it's always just a minute or two till the midnight launch, I stop fucking caring and believing... and if I'm wrong, fucking Crying Wolf Syndrome. If you're gonna claim there's an existential threat, like they do, you go in and you do to Iran what you did to Gaza; I mean, you're capable of doing that right?

It's one of the gayest fucking dog and pony shows that's gone on for way too long.

Assuming you have fissile material, the next difficult part is getting the intial explosion right so you get criticality. You have to focus it so the explosives go off at exactly the right time and in the right way, otherwise you just made an impractical dirty bomb.
 
This conservative civil war happening on Xitter over federal land ownership is gay. The people melting down over the idea that we open up a fraction of a percent of the worthless land out west for development as if we're talking about paving over Yosemite and building strip malls on it are retards.

Hot take: The federal government should own zero land outside of military installations. Privatize the national parks.

How do these people even live? Like imagaine wearing a mask in the year 2025. Like tpwhats that even supposed to accomplish anymore? The fuck does “disengage from willful ignorance of reality” supposed to mean, its an empty gauge statement that means nothing. How does one not participate in capilist gluttony then? Like you need food so you buy it from the store, wait isn't that capitalist okay so maybe a farm, but wait again in ordeer to maintain even a small farm you need land and things like tractors fertilizer and even a few others to properly maintain it. Also “engeage in direct action” bitch you are on xitter you are not contributing shit to the “good fight”.

Obviously, America or Israel “accidentally” leave a nuke in Iran, now we need a full scale invasion to get it back.

What a lovely shitshow on Trump's end. The Russia-Ukraine peace deal to end within 3 days went nowhere. New Middle East faggotry even the FEDS don't want to bite, Israel sticking their fingers in pies they shouldn't even have. I hope it backfires on Israel and Iran becomes Iraq 2.0 because it sure as Hell looks like that's gonna happen again. "We're freeing you Iran citizens from your dictators we're on your side"
Iran citizens proceed to become guerillas and now Iran is in a worse shithole than it was before.
 
SoftBank's Son pitches $1 trillion Arizona AI hub, Bloomberg News reports
Reuters (archive.ph)
20 Jun 2025 07:22:17 UTC
June 20 (Reuters) - SoftBank Group (9984.T) founder Masayoshi Son is envisaging setting up a $1 trillion industrial complex in Arizona that will build robots and artificial intelligence, Bloomberg News reported on Friday, citing people familiar with the matter.

Son is seeking to team up with Taiwan Semiconductor Manufacturing Co (2330.TW), opens new tab for the project, which is aimed at bringing back high-end tech manufacturing to the U.S. and to create a version of China's vast manufacturing hub of Shenzhen, the report said.

SoftBank officials have spoken with U.S. federal and state government officials to discuss possible tax breaks for companies building factories or otherwise investing in the industrial park, including talks with U.S. Secretary of Commerce Howard Lutnick, the report said.

SoftBank is keen to have TSMC involved in the project, codenamed Project Crystal Land, but it is not clear in what capacity, the report said. It is also not clear the Taiwanese company would be interested, it said.

TSMC is already building chipmaking factories in the U.S. with a planned investment of $165 billion.

Son is also sounding out interest among tech companies including Samsung Electronics (005930.KS), the report said.

The plans are preliminary and feasibility depends on support from the Trump administration and state officials, it said.

A commitment of $1 trillion would be double that of the $500 billion "Stargate" project which seeks to build out data centre capacity across the U.S., with funding from SoftBank, OpenAI and Oracle (ORCL.N).

SoftBank and TSMC declined to comment. The White House and U.S. Department of Commerce did not immediately respond to requests for comment.

The proposed scheme follows a series of big investment announcements SoftBank has made this year.

In March it announced it would acquire U.S. semiconductor design company Ampere for $6.5 billion and in April said it would underwrite up to $40 billion of new investment in OpenAI, of which up to $10 billion would be syndicated to other investors.

This week SoftBank raised $4.8 billion from a sale of shares in T-Mobile (TMUS.O).

Another Day, Another O'Keefe Honey Pot



"‘F*CK AMERICANS, F*CK ISRAEL’: US State Dept. Visa Specialist Admits to Helping Illegals Evade Deportation: “Don’t Admit the Truth, Don’t Tell Them What You Did”“I do say it to cab drivers that are from, like, Hispanic descent. I’m like, ‘don’t talk to the police’... If you want a loophole, keep your mouth shut.”“F**ck these people [Israelis]… I hate them to death.”"

This one is interesting since it looks like in the space of 2 hours this dude was fired and the Department of State is revamping their contractor screening process.

Notice how he doesn't say "the immediate injunctive relief I granted is resolved, so let's continue with the lawsuit as if it were going to trail" and instead says "tell me how to do this thing I now want to do." This is the difference between a good and bad judge. Maybe the next part of the suit would be to move for a preliminary injunction under the alternative grounds, but he purposefully shapes proceedings to mess with Trump. It's despicable.
