Apologies folks. A version of this was sent out in error earlier. E&D
Thanks for joining our special HTHH in which there was no actual day drinking, because worse than being drunks, we are fake drunks. What can I say? We covered the field — why war, why now, is it legal, is it right, should there be a plan, was Colin Powell correct about owning stuff you break, and more. The shownotes are below, and keep an eye out for more Iran-related work from both of us in the coming days.
A few little tidbits of interest: Despite journo gossip and Iranian propaganda, it is IRAN that is running out of launchers; we’re doing OK on interceptors. This is a real issue, but most experts believe Iran will run low on shots before we run out of defenses. How long will the war continue? Likely for a while. This is not the Assad regime, and while we are seeing some fissures emerge, there aren’t the wholesale defections needed for the regime to fall.
Elise and I will be back for our usual slot tomorrow at 530. We’re opening up the comments to all of our readers if you have specific questions, but that doesn’t mean you shouldn’t upgrade to become paying subscribers. 🍸
