You don’t become cooler with age but you do care progressively less about being cool, which is the only true way to actually be cool.

Yep!  George Clooney starred in it as the wayward bomber pilot Colonel Grady, targeting Moscow.

If a political party does not have its foundation in the determination to advance a cause that is right and that is moral, then it is not a political party; it is merely a conspiracy to seize power.     -Dwight Eisenhower-

"The [U.S.] Constitution is a limitation on the government, not on private individuals ... it does not prescribe the conduct of private individuals, only the conduct of the government ... it is not a charter for government power, but a charter of the citizen's protection against the government."     -Ayn Rand-

I'm no maritime engineer, but a ship only capsizes when it heels over past its ability to right itself. Either this ship was inherently stable or was marginally stable and shipped a large or huge amount of water on one side of the ship (or its ballast somehow shifted a large degree?). I'm inclined to think the Iranians' design or build are at fault - marginal stability or unstable - or horrible mishandling before sabotage. Whatever the cause, it's out of service, with a lengthy repair/restoration process ahead of it IF it can be restored to service.

Corrected a typo

If, as anti-Covid-vaxxers claim, https://www.poynter.org/fact-checking/2021/robert-f-kennedy-jr-said-the-covid-19-vaccine-is-the-deadliest-vaccine-ever-made-thats-not-true/ , https://gospelnewsnetwork.org/2021/11/23/covid-shots-are-the-deadliest-vaccines-in-medical-history/ , The Vaccine is deadly, where in the US have Pfizer and Moderna hidden the millions of bodies of those who died of "vaccine injury"? Is reality a Big Pharma Shill?

Millions now living should have died. Anti-Covid-Vaxxer ghouls hardest hit.

Seventeen Techniques for Truth Suppression

Of all tyrannies, a tyranny sincerely exercised for the good of its victims may be the most oppressive. It would be better to live under robber barons than under omnipotent moral busybodies. The robber baron's cruelty may sometimes sleep, his cupidity may at some point be satiated; but those who torment us for our own good will torment us without end for they do so with the approval of their own conscience.

More fun Iran news:

Joseph Haboush
@jhaboush
NEW: Top US intel official says Iranian government agents have provided financial support to some Americans taking part in pro-Palestine demonstrations across the country and “sought to opportunistically take advantage of ongoing protests.”

DNI Avril Haines said Iran was becoming “increasingly aggressive in their foreign influence efforts, seeking to stoke discord and undermine confidence in our democratic institutions… including in prior election cycles.”

Haines said she knows Americans in the Gaza protests that are doing so in “good faith” and that “freedom to express diverse views, when done peacefully, is essential to our democracy.”  ...

Quote
The top US intel official revealed Tuesday that Iranian government agents were infiltrating pro-Gaza protests across the United States and targeting Americans by providing financial support at times.

“In recent weeks, Iranian government actors have sought to opportunistically take advantage of ongoing protests regarding the war in Gaza, using a playbook we’ve seen other actors use over the years. We have observed actors tied to Iran’s government posing as activists online, seeking to encourage protests, and even providing financial support to protesters,” Director of National Intelligence (DNI) Avril Haines said.

Widespread protests have erupted across the country, mainly on college campuses, since the start of the Gaza war, which started after the deadly Oct. 7 Hamas attack on Israel. In response, Israel has bombarded Gaza and reduced a majority of the enclave to rubble in pursuit of Hamas militants. ...

Woah!  The Tehran strike was a bomb planted on the ground and not an air attack.

Planted bomb, remote control and AI: How the Mossad killed Hamas' leader in Iran

Barak Ravid  |  11 hours ago


The Israeli Mossad assassinated Hamas political leader Ismail Haniyeh by detonating an explosive device planted in advance in his bedroom at the Iranian government official residence in Tehran, two sources with knowledge of the issue confirmed to Axios.

Why it matters: The fact that the Mossad managed to plant the explosive device in a high-security facility shows not only the deep penetration of Israeli intelligence services inside Iran but also the vulnerabilities of the Iranian intelligence and security apparatus.

The details about the planted explosive device were first reported by the New York Times and confirmed to Axios by two sources.  .  .

Just wait until there are killer satellites that can target something on the ground and take it out in minutes if not seconds anywhere on the planet. That day is coming...
