No but once the uranium they have already enriched is taken out, it really won't matter if they try another clandestine enrichment operation - they will need decades to get where they are today.

It may be bad, but states have always been allowed to do whatever they please.

Do you know how hard enriching uranium is?

The reason is that it violates human rights for very little justified purpose.
I never failed to understand how libertarians could think like that. Human rights are fiction created by the state and existing only trough the state.
And it is easy to prove - take any human, do the thoroughest possible vivisection on them and you won't be able to find a single right.
Or hear me out - Iran actually got scared that their national hymn will be the theme of the Flintstones. And sending two set of terms is time honored tradition that the soviets pulled couple of times during the cold war, especially the Cuban crisis.
Anyway let's let see the final deal. If Iran has enriched uranium after it, there could be made a case that won. If they don't - they didn't.

Two weeks are plenty of time for US to gather even more forces and munitions to hammer Iran with. Just saying. And time for the intelligence agencies to map where and what forces it has near the strait. And for someone to roll an insurers for the crossing.

War against China would be like an NBA team playing another NBA team, maybe a weaker NBA team but an NBA team nonetheless.
We haven't really seen what PLA is capable off. So the answer is we don't know.

I think this should be read as a threat. Which it is.

Let's hope he delivers on this. But I am doubtful. But yeah - he is going insane. Which is much more entertaining than Biden's senility.

Tzadziki, ajvar, lutenitsa, katuk, Kyopolou - almost any balkan and middle eastern spread/dip is easy to swallow, digest and ungodly tasty Fresh mozarella with good olive oil Humus. Take good white cheese (turkish, bulgarian style, feta is tad too rich and creamy) crumble it finely and mix with honey. Any kind of caviar paste. Dulce de leche Different types of pates or foie gras Crepes are amazing and you could stuff them with melted cheese or nutella. Home made brioche - modernist cuisine recipe is rock solid. remove the crusts and the rest melts. Mushrooms in lots of butter. Sous vide potatoes in butter. Japanese milk bread Salmon mi cuit. (triple check safety here)
Those are the tenderest foods I can come up with.

No - the right way is the gulf states model. No path to citizenship whatsoever.

With what Spain did about the illegal immigrants last month - they don't deserve respect. I don't need more ex-illegals free to travel in the Schengen area.

It's already claimed the Army Chief of Staff's, although it's not clear what exactly was wrong with Randy George's performance (the Army isn't even particularly involved in this op), or that of the Transformation and Training Command leader and the head of the Chaplain Corps.
Either US army has a Russian disease - a system in which every report moving upward was rose tinted into oblivion, and when they started planing properly for ground invasion - suddenly the real readiness was not what was expected. Or Trump was asking for something insane and they said no.
Anyway - I am worried about those shakeups - people rarely shake up military command when things are going well.

Their attack on the gulf states showed that they are both. And I am sure that they have not planned for campaign that has the explicit goal of dismantling their state as a state. They planned for regime change. Blown petrol wells take a long time to be extinguished, powerplants to be rebuilt. Russia has low capacity - that is why it goes after the chokepoints - the substations. With the total air superiority that US enjoys - they could do a lot more fun stuff. Like blowing up the petroleum wells and power plants themselves.

Well. If you destroy the electricity generating equipment, the capacity of the country to wage war is reduced to roughly throwing rocks and if the regime aligned engineers are surprisingly capable - a trebuchet.

Ukraine knows modern drone warfare (because they invented a good deal of it) but they take losses.
Ukraine invented it, Russia perfected it. And both countries are not that successful with it anyway.
Just beat insurers over head. Larry Ellison and Elon Musk will jump over the opportunity.

Easy to find if it is the case - would OP also list Israeli officials and functionaries among "non-people"?
They are absolutely legitimate targets. And if you kill Israeli elder surrounded by all his grandchildren - I will shrug it off with the same war is hell with which I shrugged of the school in former barracks strike.
But so far Iranian strategy is not that of assassinations but what could generously be described as monkey with a wrench combined with spray and pray.

Yes. Because the elites are small fractions and they usually stick together - so there is not much surface area to generate refugees. Iranians know well enough that the USA and Israel are not doing indiscriminate killing - and if you are living in working class neighborhood or rural village or whatever - you are totally safe.

Officials, functionaries and so on are not people. For the civilians that are not living right next to them - they are not in danger.

All I am saying is that literally bombing people's homes will result in refugees. Not that all refugees come from war.
No one except Iran is bombing people's homes.

So I ordered a Ninja Creami. I have always wanted a pacojet, but when I was making the money, didn't bother, and now programmers are not that well compensated.
Unfortunately the creami community seems to be invaded by people that just want to eat frozen anal lube (water + thickeners), sweetened by aspartame. If they are feeling glutenous - with a pinch of protein powder thrown in. Does anyone has experience with the creami and knows a watering hole where there are normal recipes?

That analysis would have value (and good chance of being true) if Kissinger was alive and in charge. Unfortunately Washington is completely taken over by the IYI class and the MAGA implants are ... not that cunning.
Trump has great instincts in finding problems and opportunities and very bad instincts about finding a solutions and realizing them.
For the Iran situation - all of the 3 big players - US, EU and the gulf know that Iran has to be beaten into compliance once it started. Right now they are just playing a dance because everyone wants the others to pay for the solution.

It's not difficult to ship things to Tehran
If you are willing to walk on the seabed probably. But the moment you raise your head above the water there will be a friendly tomahawk or something similar waiting for you. Iran has zero opsec.
Vatican is like Israel. They have no friends, only interests.
