The Politics Thread
As I said earlier, throughout the years, during heightened news events, there have occasionally been random people posting incorrect pictures or old pictures, or mislabeled pictures from unrelated events. (And nowadays faked A.I. images are added to all of that). so it's important to verify with several sources to see if it's real. Here's the latest example: Fact Check: Video of 2003 assault on Iraq miscaptioned as Afghanistan 2026 https://www.reuters.com/fact-check/video-2003-assault-iraq-miscaptioned-afghanistan-2026-2026-02-27/

The situation has gotten worse. https://www.reuters.com/world/middle-east/israel-strikes-lebanon-following-hezbollah-attacks-widening-iran-conflict-2026-03-02/ -- Iran is continuing to bomb targets in various countries all over the Middle East. -- Israel and USA are continuing to bomb Iran. -- Hezbollah joined in by bombing various targets, including Israel. -- Israel is now bombing locations Lebanon in retaliation for that. -- U.S. ships have been targeted. U.S. military bases have been targeted. -- A U.K. (yes UK) target in Cyprus was hit. It's all chaos. Israeli's military Chief of Staff Eyal Zamir said combat operations against Hezbollah could be prolonged, lasting days. Trump in interviews on Sunday with multiple news outlets said the U.S.-Israeli military assault on Iranian targets could continue for at least four weeks. _______ Elsewhere in Asia: in unrelated news: As of Friday Feb. 27, Pakistan is bombing Afghanistan https://www.reuters.com/world/asia-pacific/blasts-heard-kabul-amid-clashes-between-afghan-pakistani-forces-2026-03-01/ however.... related to Iran ... -- Anti-American and anti-Israel protests have broken out in various countries, in reaction to the bombing of Iran. Including protests in Pakistan. -- Pakistani protesters approached the U.S. consulate in Karachi Pakistan, and were fired upon by U.S. security. -- The U.N. (yes UN) office in Skardu, Pakistan was burned down by protesters. https://www.reuters.com/world/asia-pacific/pakistan-police-fire-tear-gas-protesters-outside-us-consulate-reuters-witness-2026-03-01/

As posted earlier: Paraphrasing Reuters: The CIA assessment in advance was that if Khamenei were killed, an even more hardline ruler would be put in place; . (Reuters link) But of course nobody listened. Saturday Feb 28 (USA time): The initial reports (with a photo) were that Khamenei's compound was bombed, but no confirmation that he was actually there. Later Trump and Netanyahu announced that Khamenei was dead, and some news agencies reported this as fact. When this was first announced, Reuters neutrally said that Trump and Netanyahu have announced that Khamenei is dead, but Iran state media says Khamenei is still in charge. (Hard to know what the facts are, when the officials from all the countries involved are all known to lie!) Hours later: Sunday morning Iran time (late Saturday USA time), Iran officially announced Khamenei's death. Update: US officials skeptical of regime change in Tehran after Khamenei killing, say sources https://www.reuters.com/world/middle-east/us-officials-skeptical-regime-change-tehran-after-khamenei-killing-say-sources-2026-03-02/ Quoting Reuters: But three U.S. officials familiar with U.S. intelligence said there is serious skepticism that Iran's battered opposition can topple the theocratic, authoritarian governing system that has been in place since 1979. No officials consulted by Reuters completely ruled out the possibility of the fall of Iran's government, which currently is buffeted by key personnel losses from ongoing U.S. and Israeli air strikes and is deeply unpopular following a January round of extraordinarily violent repression. But it is far from likely or even probable in the near term, they said.

Reminder to double-check, triple-check, and quadruple-check everything you see about this. Way back during the Arab Spring in 2011, most of the social media posts from the resistance in the locations were true, but there were always a few faked ones or old ones given new dates. Same is true for ICE stuff in Minnesota. Almost all of what's coming from the people on the ground is true, but there are always random people posting incorrect pictures or old pictures, or mislabeled pictures from unrelated events. Nowadays with A.I., there is so much possibility for fake pics and fake reports. This 2026 war will have all of this scrambled, with state medias from all countries making it even worse. Check and verify everything five times. In emergency situations like this, even the best reporters might get one thing wrong, but the best reporters will also acknowledge when they mess up, and post corrections.- The Politics Thread
Marcy Wheeler aka "emptywheel" has an excellent analysis https://emptywheel.net/trumps-illegal-war/ She points out that Tr*mp acted now before Congress could stop him. There was a bipartisan resolution soon to be voted on: the "Khanna-Massie War Powers resolution" February 26, 2026 statement from U.S. house of representatives Democrats https://jeffries.house.gov/2026/02/26/democratic-leadership-ranking-members-announce-iran-war-powers-resolution-vote-next-week/ “As soon as Congress reconvenes next week, we will compel a vote of the full House of Representatives on the bipartisan Khanna-Massie War Powers resolution. This legislation would require the President to come to Congress to make the case for using military force against Iran. The Iranian regime is brutal and destabilizing, seen most recently in the killing of thousands of protestors. However, undertaking a war of choice in the Middle East, without a full understanding of all the attendant risks to our servicemembers and to escalation, is reckless. We maintain that any such action would be unconstitutional without consultation with and authorization from Congress. Next week, every Member will have the opportunity to go on the record as to whether they support military action against Iran absent Congressional approval.”- The Politics Thread
(Saturday Feb. 28, 2026) Afraid of losing and wanting to assert their authoritarian powers, Trump and Netanyahu began bombing the f* out of Iran this morning. Trump sent some stupid message in English to the Iranian people to tell them to rise up and overthrow their government, forgetting that he had already disbanded VOA "Voice of America" radio in the Farsi language. Iran is retaliating by bombing these targets: Israel, U.S. warships in the Middle East, U.S. military bases all over the Middle East Random Middle Eastern countries that have been known to be U.S. allies. Videos have shown a hotel in Dubai being bombed. Israel was prepared for retaliation and Tel Aviv had already moved all their hospital patients to underground shelters, etc. Reuters seems to have the most nonpartisan coverage of what's really happening. According to Reuters: The stupid U.S. war cabinet is monitoring this from Mar-a-Lago. https://www.reuters.com/world/us/top-us-general-hegseth-monitoring-iran-strikes-trump-resort-person-familiar-says-2026-02-28/ According to Reuters: The CIA assessment in advance was that if Khamenei were killed, an even more hardline ruler would be put in place; but of course nobody listened. https://www.reuters.com/world/middle-east/prior-iran-attacks-cia-assessed-khamenei-would-be-replaced-by-hardline-irgc-2026-02-28/ Phil D.

@dragonflies Oh I see the problem. These specific twitter videos display properly ONLY you are logged into a registered twitter account (and you are over 18) and viewing on the X(twitter) site. But if you try to open them in a browser window where you're NOT logged into twitter, they don't work and a notification displays: "Age-restricted adult content. This content might not be appropriate for people under 18 years old. To view this media, you’ll need to log in to X" . Embedding wouldn't be allowed for this particular video, because there's no guarantee that the website or messageboard viewers are over 18. Good grief. This "A Look Ahead on B&B" video isn't the least bit scandalous.- Y&R: March 2026 Spoilers
