The week's question
In December 2024, in the thread "Re: BRK: Why Not XOM?", BreckHutHigh asked the members: "What about the long road trips with kids?" This week it is put to everyone again. The button below opens the small thread re-asking it - read what others have said so far, then give your own answer as an ordinary reply.

My theory is Israel has been feeding fake, self-serving, "intelligence" about Iran, to the US for years.

There’s plenty of blame to assign to Israel for its warmongering, without inventing a “fake intelligence” conspiracy theory. The key intelligence was widely known and agreed to for many years. The Iranian nuclear project, how much they have and where, and the level of enrichment. Their ballistic missile and drone capabilities, the size of their military, their proxies - location, size, capabilities. All widely understood and assessed. No significant surprises there. The errors have not been in intelligence but in the consequent decisions. And Israel’s war mongering isn’t new. It fought tooth and nail against the JCPOA while it was being negotiated and after it was signed. All in the open. Not much to hide. The fact that Trump went along and ultimately decided to embark on a stupid war is all on him.
