๐บ๐ธ I swear Yellowstone bison have the same annual meeting: "Who's launching a tourist this season?"
At this point, if you get sent into low Earth orbit by a bison... I'm running out of sympathy.

Wow. This is expert exhaustive evidence on another level. Thank you, Matt.
Great information that would normally allay all conspiracies regarding explosives etcโฆ

๐บ๐ธ๐ฎ๐ท๐จ๐ณ๐ท๐บ U.S. strikes reportedly hit the Aq Tekeh Khan railway bridge in Golestan
That's not any random bridge. It's the node connecting Xi'an to Tehran in 10-15 days overland, China's Belt and Road running straight through Iran.
Since the U.S. blockaded Iran's Gulf ports, Chinese freight through this corridor tripled. Russia has been running cargo through it since November.
Iran built this route specifically because the U.S. owned the sea. Now the U.S. just hit the land route too.

JUST IN: Connecticut Senator Chris Murphy has scrubbed his X account of all mentions of Graham Platner in hopes no one will remember he was a diehard early supporter.
Hello Mr. Clinton,
I'm not going to extend to you the courtesy that your paragraph about lawfare extends to Trump supporters. Because I've studied enough of you, to know what you are truly about.
You were President during the post-Cold War sugar high. I have it thoroughly documented that you and your administration met with George Soros frequently, and in short term changed your policy positions to fit whatever George Soros proposed.
Which was: continuous military intervention all over the world. Starting with the bombing of Yugoslavia. You were the original neoconservative. Madeline Albright used "open society" phrasing in communicating your foreign policy documents. You are a part of the long string of failures of nation-building in the name of democracy, the Western interventions that resulted in millions of mass migrants overwhelming our borders, artificial famines, and us building the infrastructure that enabled China to take over the Africa continent and extract African resources for themselves.
But. Most of all. Those of us -- and there are a good deal many of us -- who have been ruined by lawfare. @GenFlynn sacrificed everything. @JeffClarkUS has had his life ruined and is still rebuilding. At the end of the day, only one President has been the subject of repeated assassination attempts and eighty-plus indictments - and it's President Trump. Not anyone in your orbit.
Seriously, Bill. What do you think when you see that a Democrat gets indicted by a grand jury, and a judge inevitably overturns that indictment on grounds that nobody has heard of? "Oh wow the judges are so wise and saw right through a jury of peers! And that wisdom coincidentally happens to always fall on party lines!" Give me a break.
Every single one of us on the right-wing side knows that when your side regains power, your side will turn the full might of lawfare on us. You will cheer on mass incarcerations. You openly brag about that. You even toe the line of threatening to jail current military members if they don't refuse orders from Pete Hegseth.
You are the evil one here. You cheer on the burning of our cities. You cheer on lawfare of Republicans. You never apologized for the millions of lives disrupted all over the world. You never say a word about the billions or even trillions of dollars that have been robbed by your friends through corrupt NGOs.
The fact that none of you are in jail, proves that we are the powerless ones here. You're just afraid that someone sees you for you who are, and you secretly know that image is ugly.
This is about as close to the absolute truth as you will read on the topic.
No effort short of the overwhelming use of armed force has ever stopped a left wing movement after its initial outbreak of revolutionary armed violence.
We've had two previous leftist revolutionary movements in the United States.
The first was post-WWI when European immigration brought socialist and anarchist violence to our shores.
The Palmer Raids of 1919-20 ended with the deportation of 556 (kek) violent socialists and anarchists back to Europe.
The FBI went on a rampage and practically destroyed the Socialist Workers Party, Industrial Workers of the World, and Communist Party USA by arresting their members. In short, it was disrupted by a coordinated whole-of-government anti-communist effort.
Then you had another iteration of revolutionary leftist violence in the 1960s and early 70s. Again, it was infiltrated and toppled by the mid-1970s, because of programs like COINTELPRO and other federal law enforcement efforts. (Bryan Burrough tells this story in Days of Rage, btw.)
So here we are, at the precipice of an incipient third iteration of far left revolution.
Were the administration to understand just how serious/late the situation is, I don't think it's too late to stop the movement prior to a Herculean use of force.
But if the Trump admin continues to ignore them and lets this thing fester, we will have to deal with the consequences in 2029+. (This is why I constantly criticize the admin's lack of action on this.)
Kind of like the saying, "you can vote your way into socialism, but you have to shoot your way out," all of modern history shows:
You can disrupt a far left revolution in its early phase, but you have to use armed force to defeat them once they get going. There is no other way.
Iran ha a big oil problem ๐ข๏ธ
๐ธOver 58 million barrels of Iranian crude are floating at sea, more than 90% without a confirmed buyer
๐ธChina, Iran's largest customer, is running refiners at the lowest utilization in 9 years, Iranian imports have more than halved
๐ธIndia is locked into Russian barrels, Europe won't touch it over insurance risk and fears US sanctions snap back
Iran rushed millions of barrels onto the market the moment access reopened.
The demand side never showed up.
Iran got its market access back. It didn't get its market back.
