Generally speaking, I believe in a balance of power among sovereign nations. Having said that, the thought of Israel with Iran's oil resources and Ukraine with a full military arsenal at its disposal makes me a little nervous at this point. I really think we need to cut off both Israel and...

Yep. The first time a US sub has fired a torpedo in combat since WW2. View: https://youtu.be/r4qk9juOVYQ At least they work this time around. LOL

I ran 1.5 miles in 24:16 on the treadmill today; my personal best since starting at the new gym. Only running right now, but I think my times would drop back to normal if I started working out my arms, legs and core again.

I have to say that part of me thinks Iranian crude oil will be coming our way instead of Russian or Chinese markets at some point, just like Venezuelan oil. The usual "Iran can't have nukes" is a legit argument, but I have to think oil is part of it as well this time around.

From the reporting I have seen, the IDF took out AK and they hacked into Tehran's street cameras to precisely track his movements until he was taken out. Those Iranian drones that look like bat planes sound similar to the pulse-jet engines used in the V-1 and V-2 buzz bombs during WW2.

Same. I have a friend who runs a small business in town and is from the Middle East. Last week we talked and he asked me if I thought Trump would bomb Iran. I told him I didn't know but Trump has lately sent out ultimatums and then attacks before the deadline hits. My friend shook his head and...

I hate to admit it, but I have already tuned it out just like I have with Ukraine and Gaza wars because I really have no control over it. I just hope we don't suffer any more casualties.

Trump is one of those "cut off the head of the snake" guys. I think it ends when the Iranian leader is taken out. Our enemies have flexed their muscles enough the past several years. Now it's time to hold our beer.

Peace through Strength. It ain't gonna last too long.

Was likely going to be a dismal baseball season for us anyway. Oh, well.

I find it altogether demoralizing that there appear to no more public role models these days. I hardly ever watch the news on TV or on social media because it's just so repetitive and boring. In later years our generation(s) learned a lot of that stuff was just branding, but still the role...

https://www.ajc.org/news/who-are-the-hostages-still-held-by-hamas It's safe to say the return of the Israeli hostages would not have happened without threats made to Tehran by the current administration. Peace through Strength.

Started working on a '77 Trans Am in colors like the one I drove back in the day.

Any student of US naval history will tell you this stuff on the high seas has been going on since our country's early days beginning in the early 1800s. Speak softly and carry a big stick.

Finished the Spitfire a while back but forget to post it here. Got a new light box in this week and this was also a good excuse to try it out.

5" for me.
