Regional war on the horizon. Just perfect.

Israel expecting 240-250 missiles from Iran: Sources

Iran is expected to launch 240 to 250 missiles in two waves at four targets in Israel, including Mossad headquarters and three air bases, according to an Israeli source and a senior U.S. administration official.

Israel is not expected to launch a preemptive strike, according to the U.S. administration official. It should take the missiles less than 15 minutes to reach targets once launched.

The U.S. and Israel have all defenses activated, and Israel will “absolutely “ retaliate after it happens," the official said.

The total number of ballistic missiles is about double the number launched by Iran in April – 99% of which were intercepted.

The declaration is a largely symbolic step by Pyongyang. Roads and railways leading from North Korea to the South are rarely used, and have been incrementally dismantled by North Korean authorities over the past year.

Once a techbro amasses more money than he knows what to do with, the next thing he goes after is intellectual respectability. Public wanking over the ethics and morality of the Torment Nexus is truly insufferable.

It almost makes me long for the days when rich arseholes were more concerned with social status and bought or married themselves into aristocratic titles.

It’s not abstract intellectual masturbation. Palmer Luckey’s company develops autonomous weapons.

Yes, that’s what makes it particularly insufferable: they’re debating these issues after making the Torment Nexus a reality.

Stephens didn’t mean that a human should always make the call, but just that someone is accountable

… I’m sure the authorities can continue to resolve the “accountability” dilemma by blaming our enemies for everything bad :roll_eyes:
