    Agree, some tools you just end up having a better time once you accept what they are and how they want you to do it.

  7. Israel-Firsters Laura Loomer and Mark Levin: Loudest Insane Voices Pushing Donald Trump to Launch Nuclear Weapons.

    [Editor’s note: Harrison Berger writes: “More recently, Israel-firsters like Laura Loomer and Mark Levin were the loudest voices pushing Trump toward escalation and cheering him on as he threatened civilizational annihilation. Loomer, whom Trump reportedly solicits for advice, called on him to channel Curtis LeMay, the general whose fanatical bloodlust inspired Dr. Strangelove and who came within a hair of igniting nuclear war. Levin, for his part, arguably insinuated on his Fox News television show that dropping a nuclear bomb on Iran would be justified.” … Please share this information far and wide, and please feel free to share your thoughts/responses in the comments.

    We Are the Barbarians

    Iran continues to face airstrikes from Israel and the US (screenshot)

    The president’s threat to annihilate Iranian civilization took America to a dark place.

    By Harrison Berger, Reposted from The American Conservative, April 10, 2026

    On Tuesday morning, President Donald Trump took to Truth Social to declare that “a civilization will die tonight.” By 8 p.m., the U.S. announced a two-week ceasefire with Iran had begun. Whether the ceasefire holds (or even takes hold) is already in question—Iran and the U.S. appear to be offering contradictory accounts of what the 10-point plan they allegedly agreed to actually says.

    The best hope that it might stick comes from Israel, where TV presenters who spent Monday salivating over a clock counting down the minutes and hours until Trump’s planned genocide of Iranians were left confused and outraged when the president backed down shortly before the deadline.

    But whether or not Trump ultimately goes as far as the Israelis would like him to, Americans must now reckon with the destruction already carried out in our name, the civilization-destroying actions Trump has threatened, and the barbarians we have become in the process.

    As Tucker Carlson, the most prominent critic of the war with Iran, pointed out in his viral monologue Monday, there was very little that was American or Western about Trump’s threat to destroy an entire civilization. That is not to say the U.S. government hasn’t committed serious crimes before, including wars of aggression. As a study published in The Lancet, a scientific journal, found, U.S. and European sanctions have killed 38 million people since 1971. But those shameful actions were at least concealed behind a pretext, not declared outright as the objective itself.

    Though it may seem like a distinction without a difference, Carlson convincingly argues it matters significantly. By abandoning even the aspiration of higher laws, we have embraced the “law of the jungle,” which is “a brutal and unforgiving law” that will not stop at Iran’s borders. “We know from history that the things you do will be done unto you,” Carlson said. “Once you set a standard, you will have to live by that standard.”

    Indeed, Trump’s threat to destroy Iranian civilization was not an expression of American values but the purest expression, and logical endpoint, of an ideology the United States has attached itself to under both Joe Biden and now Trump: Zionism and the Greater Israel project, first through U.S. support for Israel’s genocide in Gaza and ethnic cleansing of the West Bank, and most recently through the joint war of aggression against Iran.

    And while the American taxpayers forced to fund those wars are told they are fought on our behalf to save “civilization,” it is now impossible to think of any force in recent history more destructive and threatening to civilization than the Greater Israel project—which wages an ISIS-style campaign to destroy every artifact, center of knowledge, and source of beauty in the region, and does so with American weapons, American service members, and American money.

    The record of what has already been destroyed provides evidence that the U.S. and Israel wish to do exactly to Iran what ISIS and its various backers did to Syria. According to Iran’s minister of cultural heritage, U.S. and Israeli strikes have damaged more than 131 historical sites across the country including museums, palaces, and UNESCO-listed landmarks, with the heaviest losses in Tehran.

    Among the centuries-old structures destroyed by U.S.–Israeli bombs is Iran’s Golestan Palace, a UNESCO World Heritage site; the Chehel Sotoun pavilion in Isfahan, a 17th-century monument from the Safavid period; the Sheikh Lotfollah Mosque, one of the architectural jewels of the Islamic world; and the Fin Garden in Kashan, one of Iran’s oldest surviving gardens which dates to the late 16th century.

    Dozens of universities and research centers have been struck, including the Iran University of Science and Technology, Isfahan University of Technology, and Sharif University of Technology, “Iran’s MIT,” whose computer science center was reduced to rubble. A Tehran synagogue was also struck on Passover.

    Our descent into barbarism has long been in the making, and the fingerprints all over that transformation are recognizably Israeli. One of the earliest signs of our transition came when the “War Department” began posting drone strike footage, often as memes, on social media. Where the government once prosecuted WikiLeaks and scrambled to conceal its war footage out of embarrassment, Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth’s Pentagon now shamelessly publishes such imagery on its own initiative, a direct import from Israel, which pioneered the model of broadcasting its own war crimes during the assault on Gaza.

    More recently, Israel-Firsters like Laura Loomer and Mark Levin were the loudest voices pushing Trump toward escalation and cheering him on as he threatened civilizational annihilation. Loomer, whom Trump reportedly solicits for advice, called on him to channel Curtis LeMay, the general whose fanatical bloodlust inspired Dr. Strangelove and who came within a hair of igniting nuclear war. Levin, for his part, arguably insinuated on his Fox News television show that dropping a nuclear bomb on Iran would be justified.

    Whether or not the ceasefire holds, Americans will have to reckon with what has already been done in our name, and with the fact that the Israel-Firsters who cheered every escalation have not been removed from their positions of influence. They remain right in the president’s ear, defining not just his second term but the international symbol of destruction and barbarism we are in the process of becoming.

  8. It is quite possible that Artemis crew will witness from safe distance nuclear annihilation of human civilization today.

    Get Real (with Hugo Rifkind)

    Journalist and Times Radio presenter Hugo Rifkind joins Armando this week.

    In another breakneck week, we look at the language of reality in politics. Are plumbers more 'real' than economists? Can Trump really 'manipulate reality'? And has he been watching Shrek?

    We also look at the parallels between Marco Rubio and the general in Dr Strangelove, Tony Blair powering down when talking to Alan Partridge, and whether 'Epic Fury' really means what Pete Hegseth thinks it does.

    Thanks. I'll add it to my watch list & cross my fingers I don't giggle during the serious moments!

  18. @UKFilmNerd @MATAK79

    This is from the same book as Dr Strangelove, right? Can a Strangelove fan watch this with a straight face?

    #FailSafe #DrStrangelove

  19. if you haven't watched #AHouseOfDynamite, you should. It is NOT a masterpiece like #DrStrangelove, but it is worth to understand the absolute urgency to rebuild a #MassMovement against #NuclearWeapons

  20. avete visto #AHouseOfDynamite su #Netflix?
    NON è capolavoro come #DrStrangelove,ma ve lo consiglio assolutamente

    visti leader politici che abbiamo,viste tecnologie disruptive del 21esimo secolo,o creiamo un nuovo movimento di MASSA contro #ArmiNucleari o saltiamo in aria tutti

  21. Haven't seen it for a decade or two, great watching it again 😆

    Thanks for the movie, @hyde

  25. NH has a serious pollution problem, which has affected a small group of people.

    It appears the #NHGOP is suffering from extreme lead poisoning, given their proposals to allow Ivermectin (horse paste) to be handed out like candy to anyone who wants it. Kids even.

    "Here Johnny, neigh like a horsey. You'll get well."

    #DrStrangelove

    These #NH #Republican politicians are beyond crackpotville. They've gone right into the psych lock-up ward.

    Finger foods only for these dangerous folks.

  26. "Just one of THOSE Co-Inky-Dinks" as Dutch Shultz, an 'infamous American gangster', once said to the police during interrogation.😎 #DrStrangelove #Coincidences See the alt text in image one for a bit more info.

  27. TL;DR: A fascinating discussion today at the #San Francisco Board of Supervisors on authorizing the Police Department to use #robots as a deadly force option under certain circumstances. The (amended) policy passed its first reading 8 to 3.

    Takeaways for me was the security dilemma posed by the (actual) militarization of the police and the perceived militarization of society and its associated fear. Some arguments had a real #DrStrangelove feel to them. Is the best way to deal with military-grade weapons in the hand of criminals or terrorists to create a #KillerRobot gap?

    For me, having seen my share of robotic drones dropping grenades in Ukrainian combat footage this year, this wouldn't be a line I would cross.
