    Absolutely amazing, no reflection on the run-up to the Iraq War even though there was so much handwringing about how it was wrong and they should’ve been more skeptical and they had a temporary bout on insanity cause George Bush was just so charismatic and they’d never do it again

    We absolutely need to track down those NYT warmongers when all is said and done, and try them at Nuremburg like Goebbels would have been, had he not killed himself.

    “The infestation of bedbugs at The New York Times office” @OANN was perhaps brought in by lightweight journalist Bret Stephens, a Conservative who does anything that his bosses at the paper tell him to do! He is now quitting Twitter after being called a “bedbug.” Tough guy!

    Holy shit. I shouldn’t be surprised but he brought out the old “Iran is nearly there” chestnut.

    This year, Secretary of State Antony Blinken warned that Iran was within a week or two of being able to produce enough weapons-grade uranium for a nuclear bomb.

    Emphasis mine.

    As for Israel, it has demonstrated again that its investment in missile-defense technologies that critics said would never work has paid off, chiefly in hundreds or thousands of lives saved. The same type of counterconventional wisdom will serve it well as it completes Hezbollah’s decapitation in Lebanon and Hamas’s evisceration in Gaza. Wars, once entered, need to be fought through to an unequivocal victory.

    I’m stealing “counterconventional”. At least the comments aren’t what I expected. They’re shitting on him hard.
