Confirmed Israel attacked Iran

πŸ’ Israeli Defense Minister, Israel Katz, announced that the Israeli government has carried out a preemptive strike against Iran "to eliminate threats against the State of Israel."

Katz declared a special state of emergency across the country and warned that missile and drone attacks against Israel and its civilian population are expected soon.

Instructions from the Home Front Command must be followed, and people should remain in protected locations.

Professor Jiang is a charlatan, and likely a CIA hack. Here is an article about it.

Jiang is a hack. Don't bother with his analysis. He's an idealist who relies nearly exclusively on unsubstantiated fringe history. He peddles great man theory and claims to be able to predict the future.

TYT are pretty cringe too.

Try Danny Haiphong too. Hr brings conservatives on sometimed, but he's a communist.

Haiphong always struck me as a realist. That's certainly the company he seems to keep, anyway.

[–] OrnluWolfjarl@lemmygrad.ml 1 points 29 minutes ago* (last edited 28 minutes ago)

I think he brings realists for viewership. When he is alone he does refer a lot to Marxist theory and talking points.

Danny Haiphong is one I've actually heard of before πŸ‘
