#142Forget the Iran attribution for a second. The FBI director's personal email was already in leaked credential databases from prior breaches.
Every now and then something happens that makes me wonder how the fuck America is number one, this being one of them.
Don't worry, it's on its way out.

#143I'm sure it will be embarrassing for him personally, but not a breach of U.S. government systems. Kudos to CNN for publishing a balanced take on it.
You're assuming that he didn't use personal email for his FBI "work".
The leak is from 2011-2022. He wasn't in the government then!!!!

Remember when that was considered an actual issue in 2016? I remember congressional hearings over this.
For those who decried Hillary's E-Mail server but fail to apply the same standards to the current administration, it was never a real issue to begin with. Just performative nonsense.

#146I'm sorry but nothing can ever be more embarrassing for that man who wrote this book to get that job https://www.amazon.com/Plot-Against-King-Kash-Patel/dp/19555...

#148Earlier quoted context omitted.
that's the thing that people overlook the most in regards to this war.iran isn’t doing this on its own. Russia, China and north korea have been backing it from the start. they’re the ones helping with intel on US base locations across the Middle East, supplying drones, and working out strategies to drag things into a stalemate, plus whatever else iran needs along the way
Can you blame them? Iran is fighting for its own survival and has to find help where it can. If the US had an educated administration not composed by lap dogs they would've known that attacking Iran was going to be a terrible idea. Saddam did the same mistake in 1980. He thought that the Iranian Kurds, the political opponents, the Iranian Arabs, civilians were going to raise against the regime. None of this happened.…
The thing getting overlooked is all of the recent moves by Trump all lead back to China. Venezuela, Cuba, now Iran. These are all tentacles of China. The aggression against these 3 countries is not a coincidence. It’s a concerted and indirect attack on China in an attempt to weaken their subsidiaries. In the eyes of this administration, this is unpleasant, but necessary housekeeping that should have been done decades ago but no one was willing to spend the political capital to do it.
In Iran, Trump was clearly hoping (and verbally requested) the same thing you say about Sadam. I think we actually do know how unpopular the regime is, the mass protests demonstrated that. But the religious hardliners are the ones with the guns. And they clearly aren’t afraid to use them. So while there was some momentum, after everyone got gunned down in the streets by the IRGC it quickly deflated. So asking unarmed protesters to step up again is kind of big ask, without any material support.

>just a slow decline into incompetence.
Give them some credit, it’s been quite rapid.

> Let's hope we don't get another 9/11 in the next 1000 days because they are completely unprepared and won't ever see it coming, maybe even on purpose
Why would anyone bother to attack us now? This entire administration has done more to make The US weak and vulnerable than any outside attacker could have hoped to accomplish. They can just sit back and watch rome burn
