    You can tell where the author's bias lies in the first paragraph. Which is fine for an opinion piece. But he bases his opinion on statements that are just factually wrong. The most egregious is his statement that "Iran has destroyed most of the U.S. bases in the Persian Gulf." That is patently...

    Correct. Light fixtures. Too windy to sit outside.

    Just add 8 hours and you are good. Nine in November because you suckers still change the clocks. 😅 Cheers!

    I clicked on the link, but couldn't get the full story because the page sucked. I am curious where he is getting his info. Not saying he is wrong, but that isn't tracking with what I am reading and seeing here. One example of why I question it is that the Ruwais refinery in the UAE got hit by...

    Not true. I provide first hand info on how the war is impacting my happy hour schedule here in Abu Dhabi. Today, I am at Tiki Pacifico, my local watering hole in Yas Bay, and all is clear. 😅 In all seriousness, there were a couple of missle alerts earlier and sadly some fatalities due to...

    I hear what you are saying, but I still disagree. Your first statement is this: "Left or Right never take over threads. Either the truth or obnoxious fabrication aholes do." I don't think that's true at all. You put it like its an either/or proposition - truth or fabrication. In my experience...

    I don't agree with this. Many a thread gets derailed because of people bloviating on politics and their opinions on both sides no matter the truth or facts.

    Short story is I work at the Middle East's first nuclear plant. Lots of Americans here, including several from VC Summer where I once worked.

    The government has asked not to post pictures of drone stikes and such for defense purposes, but that's about it. Keep in mind though there are restrictions in general here that you otherwise wouldn't have in the US. But that's the price you pay for living here.

    This isn't true. Internet is working just fine here in the UAE. This is a good local source: https://www.khaleejtimes.com/?_refresh=true

    Thanks for the input. I get what you are saying, but its not apples to oranges. Of course this board is the number one source for Clemson sports, and I wouldn't rely on the mainboard or or other source to get inside intel. But when it comes to the USA being the home team, the script flips...

    Somewhat, but not entirely. It's a 300+ page thread.

    Well of course. If you want actual information with links to sources, its a great resource. It's up to the individual, like anywhere else, to decide what is relevant. If you want testimonials from academia who get info from bluesky, I guess you come here.
