@iuditg Glad I’m not the only one. It’s acting like stupid mouthy teenager refusing to do simple tasks I ask it to. Assuming rather than looking up the thing I asked it to etc. infuriating the last 2-3 days in ways I’ve never experienced before.

@sickoflibbullsh @BraveReport And that’s a completely delusional view as I said. Not wanting to work for someone is the same as wanting them murdered? Right, ok. It’s not even worth trying to have a discussion with people who would hold that view because of how far from reality it is.

[Mike Rucker @TheDailyRuck]

You said and I quote “But I’m going to point out that less than 100 years ago, 6 million of his people were genocided by people with the same view point as this kid”

So yes you effectively did say it was people like him that caused the holocaust. Do you not read your own comments?

[Mike Rucker @TheDailyRuck]

@ShadowofEzra Alright cool guess what. Not one more dollar goes to Israel. They are completely cut off from all of our intelligence and if they need weapons they can buy it with their own money or borrow money from someone else. Maybe throw some sanctions at them while we’re at it too

[Mike Rucker @TheDailyRuck]

Do you dipshits understand there’s not a shred of evidence for OmG a NuKe? No official intelligence reports show what you morons are claiming that there’s going to be a nuke. Here’s a little light reading for you to give you some better understanding of what was going on.

Put an ignorant Manhattan landlord in charge of negotiating with Iran, given the infinitely complex 43 history since 1979, and you are likely to get Witcoff's completely clueless point about what the Iranians were actually saying behind closed doors.

What they were saying is Trump cancelled the JCPOA under which we agreed to have our bargaining chip---380 kg of 60% enriched uranium---cancelled in return for a fair deal to lift the brutal economic sanctions against our people.

So now with no deal in place and brutal sanctions back on our economy, we did the same thing as we did during the run-up to the 2015 deal. We now have reproduced the same small 420 kilogram (kg) stockpile of 60% uranium (out of total stocks of about 9,000 kg) and our ready to negotiate again. Ask the International Atomic Energy Agency, which said in its May 2025 report that we had just that. And it was for bargaining chip purposes once again.

In fact, as a NPT (nonproliferation treaty) signatory and operator of a 3,000 megawatt civilian nuclear reactor at Bushehr, Iran was allowed to have the 7,582 kilograms of civilian reactor grade enriched uranium that the IAEA also certified last spring, as well as the 1,257 kilograms of medical grade uranium (20%).

What was really up for debate was just the 409 kilograms of 60% enriched material in its possession that could be spun to 90% weapons grade in a relatively short time.

But for crying out loud, it is goddamn obvious to anyone not looking for an excuse for war that Iran had produced this material as of last June as a bargaining chip. That is, in order to get a new nuke deal with Washington to replace the one the Donald himself unilaterally cancelled, and thereby pave the way for lifting the brutal and demented economic sanctions that Washington has again imposed on Iran.

Iran’s Enriched Uranium Stockpiles As Of May 2025
(see table below)

The proof of the bargaining chip pudding could not be more evident in the second graph below. During the 10-year run-up to the 2015 nuke deal with the Obama Administration, the Iranians increased their enriched uranium stock piles to just slightly below the current level, to about 9,000 kilograms. But in an almost mirror image of the present, only about 350 kilograms of that material was enriched to the 60% purity level or the threshold of weapons grade HEUs.

That is to say, it was generated as a bargaining chip, and that was exactly its fate. Upon activation of the JCPOA in 2015, all of the 60% material was destroyed as certified by the IAEA.

At the same time, the total stockpile of civilian grade material was also reduced by 97% to de minimis working levels, as further certified by the IAEA. Indeed, Iran ended up retaining only 300 kilograms of its 9,000 kilogram stockpile—an amount that could have been readily stored in the Donald’s wine cellar at Mar-a-Lago.

As it happened, of course, the Donald recklessly canceled the deal in May 2018 on the grounds that it had to be a bad deal by definition because he didn’t negotiate it!

Of course, that foolish move only caused the Iranians to restart the stockpiling process yet again, as is so explicitly depicted by the green line in the graph below.

The irony, therefore, is that after the Donald’s feckless June bombing campaign the Iranians likely had close to 100% of the 9,248 kilograms (including the 409 Kg of 60% material) held before June still in tact. That’s based on pretty convincing satellite photos showing that all of the Donald’s amateur “art of the deal” head fakery last June about “two weeks to decide” before the actual the bombing runs enabled the Iranians to drive trucks up to the Nantanz and Fordow facilities and remove the stockpiles to safe sites elsewhere.

Stated differently, Obama negotiated the Iran enriched stockpile to down by about 97%, while the Donald bombed roughly the same level of stockpile from 9,000+ kilograms to, well @ 9,000 kilograms!

And yet and yet. The “obliterated” material was neither illegal, even remotely anything like a real nuke and likely not obliterated, either. Yet this weekend it became just another version of the flat-out Big Lie that Netanyahu has been telling for decades.

@SkylarSkye3 Just how we were raised particularly in small town America.

[Mike Rucker @TheDailyRuck]

Then do it yourself. Nothing about this is for the betterment of the American people. And if Israel needs weapons than they can buy that shit without their own money or take out a loan from another country to pay for it. Not another dime to Israel or any foreign nation for that matter.

[Mike Rucker @TheDailyRuck]

@TheModerateCase That shit can’t come soon enough

[Mike Rucker @TheDailyRuck]

@HawkAtMe @SStricklandMMA There it is. The absolute brain dead WeApOnS oF mAsS dEsTrUcTiOn type false narrative

[Mike Rucker @TheDailyRuck]

Your last part is exactly what I was thinking. Regardless of right vs wrong on his view there is some reason he has that view. The response to him did nothing but vindicate his views and pushed him further toward the extremes where terrible things happen. And as public as this has been he’s not the only one moving in that direction now. The views of Jewish people because of Israel have really been on the rocks the last few years and this is most certainly making that worse.

[Mike Rucker @TheDailyRuck]

He denied the job twice and on the third time he told them why he was denying the job. Secondly it’s utterly ridiculous to say that people like him are why 6 million Jews were murdered 80 years ago. He just said he didn’t want to work for them. You know what this did do though? Push him further down that extreme path with a lot more other people.

They could have also just taken no thanks as an answer and also not doxed him. They could have also seen a young kid with what might be the wrong impression say something like this and just say sorry you feel that way. Instead they did exactly the things that caused him to not want to take the job in the first place. They vindicated his view and pushed him and others further away to the extremes. As if the view of Jewish people wasn’t already struggling the last few years this certainly made that worse.

[Mike Rucker @TheDailyRuck]

@DietWaterGUY Hopefully there’s some way to bring criminal charges forward and put this guy in prison along with every officer getting fired, sued and hopefully a Supreme Court case reviewing qualified immunity in this case. It’s the most absurd case I’ve ever seen.

[Mike Rucker @TheDailyRuck]

@DaruneAlbane @UncleIke4 @jayplemons Easy way to put an end to that is criminally charge those who file blatantly ridiculous lawsuits and send them to prison
