Welcome to c/news! Please read the Hexbear Code of Conduct and remember... we're all comrades here.

Rules:

-- PLEASE KEEP POST TITLES INFORMATIVE --

-- Overly editorialized titles, particularly if they link to opinion pieces, may get your post removed. --

-- All posts must include a link to their source. Screenshots are fine IF you include the link in the post body. --

-- If you are citing a twitter post as news please include not just the twitter.com in your links but also nitter.net (or another Nitter instance). There is also a Firefox extension that can redirect Twitter links to a Nitter instance: https://addons.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/addon/libredirect/ or archive them as you would any other reactionary source using e.g. https://archive.today/ . Twitter screenshots still need to be sourced or they will be removed --

-- Mass tagging comm moderators across multiple posts like a broken markov chain bot will result in a comm ban--

-- Repeated consecutive posting of reactionary sources, fake news, misleading / outdated news, false alarms over ghoul deaths, and/or shitposts will result in a comm ban.--

-- Neglecting to use content warnings or NSFW when dealing with disturbing content will be removed until in compliance. Users who are consecutively reported due to failing to use content warnings or NSFW tags when commenting on or posting disturbing content will result in the user being banned. --

-- Using April 1st as an excuse to post fake headlines, like the resurrection of Kissinger while he is still fortunately dead, will result in the poster being thrown in the gamer gulag and be sentenced to play and beat trashy mobile games like 'Raid: Shadow Legends' in order to be rehabilitated back into general society. --

Bullshit. Yeah, Trump is surrounded by some very loud and obnoxious dumbasses, but I call bullshit on this one. A sortie of three B2s loaded with bunker busters flies halfway across the world with a full entourage of support hardware just to shoot blindly in the general direction of a uranium processing facility, based on guesswork?

I could be wrong, but I think the article is saying there is "no intel" on Iran building nukes, and that nothing has changed - not that there was no intel and they guessed at what they were shooting at.

Yeah, don’t even need to read the full article to get that, the subtitle is pretty much what you said. It’s that intelligence assessments have not changed, not that they played a game of battleship.

[–] joaomarrom@hexbear.net 8 points 1 week ago

Fair enough, that was a shallow read on my part!

I mean, when the WMD pretext is an entirely fabricated justification anyway you don't really need more Intel on it to carry out the attack.

Given Irans willingness to cooperate before, it's not like the lack of Intel was about where these facilities are or anything like that.

(Though Iranian reports are stating that they did in fact move the uranium to actual undisclosed facilities before the attack)

This attack was practiced a year ago with Israel under the Biden admin, the attack itself wasn't targeted by a hunch but the decision to go through with it was

It's like watching a horse. Loose in a hospital!

Whoever posted that the other day might have broken me.
