Likely such “educators” are among officers of teachers unions.

More Euro hypocrisy. The Swiss are happy to profit from selling weapons to the US – but don’t you damn Americans ever dare to use them!
“Switzerland has said it will not issue licences for companies to export weapons to the United States due to the ongoing war on Iran, citing the country’s longstanding principle of neutrality. …
It also follows a decision by the Swiss government to close its airspace to US military flights directly linked to the Iran war. …
The US was the second-largest importer of Swiss arms last year, according to government data, with sales worth $119m (94.2 million francs). …”

Interesting AI video I just stumbled upon…
Ali Khamenei Arrives in Hell – Brutal Interview with Demon Admissions Officer
Ayatollah Ali Khamenei arrives at Hell’s bureaucratic reception for his final “admissions interview.” A smug demon admissions officer, BeelzeBob, reviews his lifetime “achievements” in a twisted, ironic style — leading to a shocking punchline twist about who he really served.
Unique AI-generated reconstruction highlights the suffering of the Iranian people under decades of theocratic rule: mass repression, proxy wars, morality police terror, forced hijab, rigged elections, brutal crackdowns on protests, and the human cost of endless conflict.
Blending dark humor, hellish bureaucracy aesthetics, and political commentary — perfect for fans of history, Iranian politics, Middle East conflicts, regime change discussions, human rights in Iran, and satirical takes on dictators.

Two months later:
Personally, I don’t care about high gas prices even though it is impacting me financially.
I’ll be voting for Donald Trump’s endorsed candidates no matter what.
Why?
I care about the midterms.
Why doesn’t Trump?
During a rather intensive discussion about this with a colleague this morning the hypothesis came up that Iran is already in possession of one or more nukes.
Moreover just as Madeleine Albright gave permission to Saddam Hussein to take military action followed by the United States attacking Saddam Hussein, so it is plausible that China just gave permission to the United States to take action against Iran as part of some kind of a deal.
TSMC…

We have to start from the premises that we know nothing, that the media know nothing, and that even if the media knew what was happening they would only share that if it is damaging to President Trump.
Yes, maybe Iran already has nukes. If so, they would need a delivery system – either high tech like a missile, or low tech like a shipping container. Iran’s performance so far shows that their long-range missiles are primitive, and they can’t get a container out of the Gulf due to the US Navy.
My uninformed guess is that if Iran had deliverable nukes, they would use them – got to get the 12th Imam out the well somehow! But their best option would be to use their one or two missiles to nuke Russia or China, thereby triggering a civilization-ending global thermonuclear war involving everyone. That is probably why both Russia and China have reportedly stated they don’t want Iran to have nukes.
Notice that President Putin had a State visit to China this week, and the world yawned. No big announcements, not much media coverage. Whatever is happening, it is happening under the table.

Another interesting news snippet that is being widely ignored in the West:
(7) Updates Iran war live: Peace talks under strain after new US strikes
Iran’s judiciary has suspended a presidential body that recently ordered the resumption of internet services that have been heavily restricted during the US-Israel war.
The judiciary’s Mizan Online website said the ruling suspending the Special Headquarters for Organising and Governing the Country’s Cyberspace followed the “filing of complaints”. …
Iranian authorities first imposed sweeping internet restrictions during large-scale protests that peaked in early January before shutting access down again on February 28 at the start of the war.
In recent weeks Iran introduced a tiered internet system known as “Pro Internet”, which, according to Iranian media, granted broader access to selected groups of professionals for higher fees.
It is not clear why the Iranian authorities bother blocking the internet. Surely it would benefit their home front to read BBC & NYT reports about Iran’s successes? And to read the humorous items such as England’s Royal Navy staging a ship to clear Hormuz of mines … in Gibraltar!

I read, too, that we’re striking their ships. So now, “ceasefire” doesn’t really mean either side actually ceases firing? OK, got it…
I think there’s only one (1) question here, and I’m getting scared I know the answer: CAN we take out the IRCG?
As for “the great Iranian people”—fuggedaboudem! Ok they don’t have guns, but ANYBODY, anywhere, can make fire. And they ain’t doin’ it. I think the 40K or so protesters who have already been killed may have been the only people out of Iran’s 90M who really cared about regime change.
Well…in Trump I trust…

Depends what the meaning of “take out” is, as Bubba used to say.
Apparently the (non-IRGC) Iranians who went to Qatar to “finalize” the deal were demanding money up front – $Billions. This suggests that the Iranian self-blockade via Hormuz plus the US blockade of Iranian shipping in the Gulf of Oman are being effective. There have been rumors that Iran is running out of money to pay the IRGC rank-and-file … and they DO have guns.
But really, between the Fog of War and the anti-US, anti-Trump media, we are desperately uninformed about this conflict and its impacts.
