See, here is what I've observed. I don't expect to change your POVs. Nevertheless... The issue started when Israel was ready to have recognition from Saudi Arabia on their statehood. This would make Hamas irrelevant. And puts Sunnis (Iran) lesser recognised. Meanwhile Shia's (Saudi) will become the defacto in the Muslim world and half of Muslim world would either tolerate or be OK with Israel. Hamas attack on Israel…

Pretty sure you have your Sunni and Shia confused there.

Well, time to dust off anti-drone defense systems. Today on NPR they talked that Iran plans to launch drones from ships into California. https://www.10news.com/news/local-news/authorities-warn-of-p... Fox News drone expert: https://nypost.com/2026/03/11/us-news/iran-could-use-drones-...

Sounds like justification for a false flag operation by the US government. How would they transport these massive things and launch them on a different continent? That, or the US is trying to justify that this illegal war is on their doorstep and need to expand their terror.

> Sunnis (Iran)…Shia (Saudi)

These are reversed

Mowing the lawn and stealing land in the west bank is what you call peace?

Israel even killed Irans negotiators last year when they were getting close to a deal. This situation is engineered, Netanyahu has wanted this for decades.

We never did find out what those drones in New Jersey in 2024 were, did we? One Republican congressman seemed convinced at the time that he'd been informed: BBC: Mystery New Jersey drones not from Iranian 'mothership' - Pentagon https://www.bbc.com/news/articles/crrwz91wqd9o It's certainly a theory / narrative that keeps appearing in the media.

They were Palantir apparently.

> Fox News [...] expert [...] nypost.com

surely a New York Post article quoting a Fox News "expert" will be factual, unbiased and not at all an attempt to pour more oil into the fire and manufacture consent to bomb a couple more girl's schools.

Nuclear weapons are a MAD red line that will result in total annihilation of the attacker. They are only useful in a defensive capacity. This kind of aggression, however, does seem to make their value as a deterrent clear. Observe how nobody is fucking with North Korea like they did with Iraq or Venezuela.

Also in a "if I'm going down, everyone else is going down with me", which is Ian's strategy in this war (for good reasons). If the IRGC had nukes, and was severely threatened (like, killing the Supreme Leader and threatening to kill all of the replacements until they bend to the U…

Isn't this exactly what the Samson Option represents?

I have no idea why you would assume Israel had to resort to extortion to get Trump to help them bomb Iran. We bombed Venezuela a few weeks ago, no extortion required.

It's far more likely he was did it because Hegseth thought it would be more manly or something more ego driven than extortion. More likely it's just another example of flooding the zone to forget about the Epstein files and the stagnating economy

Does InTune have some sort of check that goes "if over 1% of devices are wiped within a certain timeframe, stop all new device wipe requests"? Seems like it should be a feature, especially if these kinda attacks pick up.

Everything is obvious in hindsight

And to be clear, SCCM and Intune is a gun.

MS will not stop you from blowing your foot off with the gun.

Remember https://www.itprotoday.com/windows-7/aggressive-configmgr-ba... ?

>During TechEd 2014, Emory University's IT department prepared and deployed Windows 7 upgrades to the campuses computers. If you've worked with ConfigMgr at all, you know that there are checks-and-balances that can be employed to ensure that only specifically targeted systems will receive an OS upgrade. In Emory University's case, the check-and-balance method failed and instead of delivering the upgrade to applicable computers, delivered Windows 7 to ALL computers including laptops, desktops, and even servers.
