❗️Trump offered "extensive U.S. air cover" to anti-regime Iranian Kurds to seize portions of western Iran this week, while asking Iraqi Kurds to clear the way and provide logistical support for the operation, the Washington Post reported. #Iran

Saturday: some light Tehran bombing to deflect from the Epstein Files. Thursday: Azerbaijan declares war.

Ah, good, another nail-biting battle between the clicktatorship's reckless AI grifters and Blueskiers who imagine targeting is reading the labels in Google Maps and saying "bomb that school."

The Pentagon and at least one Gulf government are in talks to buy Ukrainian-made interceptors to fend off attacks by Iranian drones, according to the Financial Times

For the last few days the President of the USA and the White House communications team have been active agents of Russian influence, spreading the Putin narrative and trying to undermine democracy.

The State Department is sending extra staff to Athens to aid stranded Americans as CENTCOM requests more intelligence officers for at least 100 days of Iran operations, Politico reported, with one official saying "relatively few people" had been read in on war plans. #Iran

It's as if Russia invaded Ukraine and Ukraine started droning Europe to make the world do something about it or else.

Almost a year later this still seem very true, it’s all a matter of getting the news to people who haven’t been paying a ton of attention but can still be shocked by it all

"we are living through unprecedented times". bro these times have so much precedent. these are some of the most precedented times of all time.

The only way you do this is you outlaw algorithmic engagement, and that's not happening.

BREAKING: The DOJ has been taking down certain Epstein file documents, per CBS News.

The White House has helped MAGA influencers escape the Middle East on a private jet while more than a million ordinary Americans are still trapped with no way out.

That’s the Israel-in-Gaza move for when the pace of strikes leadership wants outstrips arsenals of precision guidance kits. US forces rarely used unguided gravity bombs in the GWOT, and when they did, it was against concentrations of regular troops on open battle fronts (OEF1, OIF1, Kobane).

And you better say THANK YOU

The UN, though in Manhattan, is on international land, not American. Also a pretty central tenet of diplomacy is “we will not take advantage of proximity to murder your people” for reasons that should be very obvious.

Oh great, they are gong to send ICE to "fix" this, aren't they?

Five Russian warships hit in port. Ukrainian sources say a March 2 night drone strike damaged five Russian naval vessels in Novorossiysk, incl. “Yeysk,” “Kasimov,” and minesweeper “Valentin Pikul.” Enemy personnel losses were reported.

Oh, THAT will do it, genius.

It’s impossible to fail if you don’t have a goal.

Crazy footage has emerged of a US submarine torpedoing Iranian Navy frigate IRIS Dena off the coast of Sri Lanka. At least 101 crew members are missing and 78 wounded following the attack. #Iran

Can’t anchor here, mate.

"More than half of Gen Z adults say AI makes them anxious, while just 26% said it makes them hopeful. Whenever I ask Gen Zers the top issues they don’t hear enough about, AI tops their list of concerns...It’s about fear—of misinformation, deep fakes, and lies." open.substack.com/pub/thebulwa...

Destroy Iran's military capabilities in 2026, and you may not be able to execute your preferred warfighting concept in a great power conflict in Europe or Asia for a couple of years. From a pure military capabilities perspective, this is bad news for conventional deterrence.

When you have to do more with less, you overcompensate and get creative.

The most disgusting combination of self-enrichment and failed management in the history of the entertainment business. deadline.com/2026/03/davi...

This is some 'Black Mirror' shit.

Even here in Ukraine gas prices are going up at stations by the hour. That’s how small our world is.

There’s been some weird instances with apparent bounty hunters working with ICE, of which this seems to be one. You can tell because, well, they’re actual pros and not out-of-shape bozos cashing a check. We chased some a week ago and these guys can drive

BREAKING: Babe, wake up. New war just dropped. www.nytimes.com/2026/03/03/u...

And Republicans got angry with Michelle Obama for stepping outside her lane by having a vegetable garden. We are, truly, living in the stupidest of times. . .

The persistent threat that Iranian long range strike has on hydrocarbon infrastructure in the Gulf combined with the fact that there is no theory of victory to end that beyond complete disintegration of the Iranian state is probably freaking them out because it has very clear implications

The Dow is now WAY below 50,000. Release all the Epstein files, Pam.

It also appears to have never occured to Hegseth that those “stupid rules of engagement” have an actual strategic purpose, and aren’t just a symptom of military pussification or wokeness or whatever.

The second tanker war (March 3, 2026-March 3, 2026)

🇮🇷💣 Claimed as massive JDAM strike on Iran.

Because he didn't think it would still be happening.

Oh Jesus Christ.

Russia does not get talked at like that, eh?

"Clear all trade with Spain". It's like Russia banning Turkish tomatoes after an F-16 smoked a RU pilot after an incursion.

10/10 No notes.

No woman should ever leave her drink unattended around THAT.

Checking my portfolio RN:

I’m a broken record on this but Trump’s entire plan was clearly “kick them in the face, collect praise from Twitter, walk away.” From his perspective it’s always worked before. It seemingly never occurred to them that they may not be able to walk away.

Trump claimed he would focus on his war with Iran for as long as it takes. Forty-six seconds later, he was waxing on about his ‘very, very beautiful’ new ballroom. My new column on Washington at war: www.newyorker.com/news/letter-...

The first ever Model U.N.

Palm Jumeirah in Dubai was attacked by Shahed kamikaze drones.

After 4 years vilifying disinformation researchers for having the temerity to study information threats to democracy, Trump is suddenly raising the banner of “foreign election interference” to attempt to justify his unlawful actions at home & abroad. www.thewayfinder.net/p/magas-elec...

Iranian drones hit oil infrastructure in Fujairah in the UAE and the port of Salalah in Oman. A major fire broke out at Fujairah port, one of the world’s largest oil storage and bunkering facilities. #Iran
