Shut up, Graham cracker.

My guess is you missed the fact that they hacked into water systems in Minnesota. https://abcnews.com/US/investigators-ir ... =135237777
A simple AI query pointed out that your Iran internet claim is bullshit:
No single undersea cable or offshore switch can disable the global or Western internet infrastructure.

​A complete shutdown is technically impossible for several reasons:

​How Undersea Infrastructure Actually Works

​The "Mesh" Design: There is no single "cyber cord" offshore. The global internet relies on hundreds of independent subsea fiber-optic cables crisscrossing the Atlantic, Pacific, and Indian Oceans.

​Automatic Rerouting: If cables in the Strait of Hormuz or the Persian Gulf are severed, internet traffic instantly reroutes through alternative paths across the Pacific, trans-Eurasian terrestrial routes, or lines wrapping around the southern tip of Africa.

​Local vs. Global Impact: Severing regional cables—such as lines passing through the Persian Gulf or the Red Sea—can cause latency spikes, financial service delays, and severe regional bandwidth throttles across South Asia (particularly India), parts of the Middle East, and East Africa. However, domestic networks in the United States and Europe do not route their internal traffic through the waters off Iran.

​The Context Behind the Threat
Rumors of an Iranian plot or threat to undersea cables spiked across social media and regional reporting, fueled by rhetoric from IRGC-affiliated media discussing sovereignty, tariffs, or disruptions in the Persian Gulf and Strait of Hormuz. While physical sabotage or anchor-dragging can severely hit regional connectivity, viral claims that Iran can pull the plug on 95% of the world's internet confuse global statistics with regional access.
Again, spouting off wild doomsday claims without doing a quick, easy fact check is 100% MAGA level stuff.
Thanks, captain.
Anytime, sport. Always happy to help you and your fellow BlueAnon crackpots out.
The reality is that it has never happened before so it’s conjecture either way.

You don’t wish for things to get worse. I don’t think people realize how close we are to nuclear war.
Nobody is gonna pull the nuclear trigger. Do you envision yourself getting run over before you step outside and attempt to cross the street?

That’s doomsday stuff… people have been predicting the end of the world since there was a world to end. Last I checked we are all still here. I really wouldn’t worry too hard about nukes flying. No matter who is around M.A.D. Is a rather powerful concept.
Read what Trump posted yesterday. Does one of your links include that? He is talking about total annihilation. I am tired of you downplaying everything I say.
He’s talked about that multiple times already so it’s not really news at this point. He’s a lot of hot air and not much more. The fact that people are still afraid of him is amazing. I’m not trying to downplay it but it’s pretty unreasonably alarmist to think everyone in the military is gonna sit on their hands and let him nuke somebody. I highly doubt they would follow that order. It’s a lot of Hollywood writing level things that would have to go just so to have him actually annihilate more than a Big Mac or 6.

Trump will eventually go down as the worst president we’ve ever had and this period will prove largely inconsequential. That’s my prediction as long as we are making them.
It’s shortsighted to say this whole MAGA movement ends with Trump. In the last 10 years, we have seen a sea change with MAGA Republicans. Politicians cut from the cloth of folks like Mitt Romney and Jeb Bush are gone. Even dudes like Marco Rubio are more radicalized. Marco was fairly moderate before 2016. He had corporate Dems cross over for him.

Trouble is absolutely nobody has shown the ability to rally the MAGA folks in the same way and cracks are forming in MAGA. So it may not end but it will be harder to keep together cohesively I think going forward. I don’t think Vance or Rubio can pull off a transformation into Trump: Redux.
Donald Trump… In your guts you know he’s nuts.
