An Israeli official told the Post: “We presented the American administration with evidence of Iran’s breakthrough toward a nuclear bomb. There was full and complete coordination with the Americans.”

Iran’s armed forces spokesperson accused Israel of carrying out attacks against Iran with US support.

This comes after Secretary of State Marco Rubio said in a statement, "Tonight, Israel took unilateral action against Iran. We are not involved in strikes against Iran and our top priority is protecting American forces in the region.

    Here’s a hint I’m an anarchist so generally not anyone above mayor. But seriously, Biden who dismissed Anita hill, who voted against busing Etc. I think he gets a lot of flack for things he has no control over. And in fact I’m one of the people that’s been voting you up here. But let’s not kid ourselves into pretending he was some really good guy/ politician at that level. That would nearly be an impossibility.

      Well fair enough, I guess being a good politician itself is against the anarchist code. And if he had not become Obama’s VP and grown so much through that relationship, I’d probably just agree with you and move on. But I think he really did learn a lot from Obama and changed a lot of his attitudes. HIs administration did a lot of amazing things, not least of which was the money for renewables, amongst other things. I think his time was up and he should have not had any designs on a second term, but all in all, I think he did a good job the last 20 years or so of his politicking.

      Of course around here there’s only one aspect to him and we know what that is and how we all feel about it.

        Well I don’t think it’s impossible to be a good politician. But I don’t think politician should be a career path. And more that politics should be local and hierarchically flat. Once you start having middle managers etc. Those above them become far too insulated.

        You will always have people falling into leadership roles. And there’s nothing wrong with that. But they need to be close to the people they lead and answerable to them.

        And I can agree that over the last decade plus Biden has had a good amount of growth as a person. Which is always a good thing. He and most Democrats are unfortunately still highly inadequate for what’s needed to be done. But growth is always good.
