It’s a tri-motor setup. The big cold-gas tank from SpaceX is right there in the cabin where the back seats used to be.

There’s a steering wheel and a screen up front.

The looks are amazing!

Robert Barnes says Tehran has already watched this pattern play out twice and won’t be caught off guard again:

“Fool me once, shame on you. Fool me twice, shame on me. Now they’re moving into fool me three times mode.”

Iran now has to decide whether to take the next round of talks at face value, and two rounds of strikes make that a very hard sell.

  Mario Nawfal (@MarioNawfal)🇮🇷 🇺🇸 Overthrow the regime or nothing: the case that Tehran can never be held to a deal.

Matt Tardio argues the Iranian regime runs on a radical religious ideology that lets it lie and do whatever it takes to reach its goals, so no signed agreement will ever bind it:

“You’re either going to decapitate and overthrow the Iranian regime, because what you’re looking at is a radical religious ideology.

They are not beholden to agreements.”

Then comes the question the regime change side still has to answer… who actually runs Iran the morning after?

Nahum Goldmann: The Jewish Paradox, Grosset & Dunlap, 1978, S. 122:
„During the war the WCJ had created an Institute of Jewish Affairs in New York (its headquarters are now in London). The directors were two great Lithuanian Jewish jurists, Jacob and Nehemiah Robinson. Thanks to them, the Institute worked out two completely revolutionary ideas: the Nuremberg tribunal and German reparations.“

The executioners were already in place before the verdict

Two days after the American war crime of Hiroshima, the dropping of the atomic bomb, on August 8, 1945, the representatives of the victorious powers signed the London Agreement, the blueprint for the show trial. Topics inconvenient for the Allies, which could have allowed for a counter-accusation, such as the Soviet invasion of eastern Poland, the air raids on cities, etc., were sidelined. The German-hater and chief prosecutor Shawcross, who later distinguished himself through atrocity propaganda lies, remarked in a magazine 20 years later: “Undoubtedly, the Nuremberg trials can also be seen as an example of that ancient principle which the Romans called vae victis!” (Woe to the vanquished)

Prosecutos

The chief prosecutor was the American Robert H. Jackson. He was assisted by the half-Jewish former Prussian senior government official and professor at a small American university, Robert Kempner. His additional responsibility was to ensure that witnesses and documents named by the defense were “currently untraceable” because they were being held in top secret in the witness wing of the Nuremberg court, or because documents such as diaries had been confiscated by US authorities.

The Soviet-Bolshevik “prosecution” was largely drafted by the Jewish jurist Ilya Pavlovich Trainin.

Other prosecutors were Hartley Shawcross for Great Britain and François de Menthon for France, succeeded after his resignation by Auguste Champetier de Ribes.

According to US prosecutor Thomas Joseph Dodd, 75% of the court’s staff were Jewish. Charles F. Wennerstrum, the American judge who presided over several of the subsequent trials, put it this way in an interview with the Chicago Daily Tribune in February 1948:
“The whole atmosphere here is unhealthy. […] Lawyers, clerks, interpreters, and investigators have been hired who only became Americans in recent years and whose backgrounds were rooted in Europe’s hatred and prejudice.”

At the start of the trial, the more than 70 representatives of the prosecution and their more than 1,000 assistants faced twenty defense lawyers, who were sometimes treated like second-class defendants.

The fact that virtually all means of forging documents fell into the hands of the Allies and their helpers after the war – official letterhead with original letterheads, typewriters, stamps, state printing works, etc. – should generally serve as a warning to historians.

Defense lawyer

The judges considered Alfred Seidl, later Bavarian Minister of the Interior, to be the most outspoken of the defense lawyers. His plea for Rudolf Heß was cut short by the court because Seidl dared to mention the Treaty of Versailles and the Secret Additional Protocol to the Hitler-Stalin Pact.

The story of David and Goliath is a classic biblical account from 1 Samuel 17, where a young shepherd defeats a giant Philistine warrior in single combat…

A fragment from the Dead Sea Scrolls (4QSama), along with the ancient Greek Septuagint and the historian Josephus, describe Goliath’s height as four cubits and a span (approximately 6 feet 9 inches / 2.06 meters).

The story of David and Goliath appears in the Book of 1 Samuel and the traditional Hebrew Masoretic Text, which forms the basis of most modern Bible translations (such as the KJV, NIV, and ESV)—lists his height as six cubits and a span (approximately 9 feet 9 inches / 2.97 meters).

The difference between the two traditions is roughly 3 feet, leading scholars to debate whether the larger figure developed through a scribal copying error or an intentional textual amplification over time.

The Dead Sea Scrolls is about a thousand years older than the oldest complete Masoretic manuscripts. It says “four cubits and a span” instead. It isn’t the only source with the smaller number. The Septuagint, an early Greek translation of the Hebrew Bible, gives the same height. So does the first-century Jewish historian Josephus.

A cubit was roughly the length of a man’s forearm, about 18 inches, and a span was about half that. Because those measurements varied, every modern conversion is an estimate.

Scholars still debate which height came first. Some believe the number grew as the story was copied and retold. Others argue the larger figure is original.

Either way, Goliath would have towered over most men of his time, many of whom stood around 5 feet 3 inches.

According to 1 Samuel, Goliath’s bronze armor weighed 5,000 shekels, roughly 125 pounds, and the iron tip of his spear alone weighed about 15 pounds.
