Wine liberals really, really like war.

They don’t want to participate, but they get really excited when it’s on screens.

Rule 1 to reading the NYT. Never ever read an opinion piece.

Bed bugs feeling especially frisky at this time of the year, huh?

Dont siege Iran, invade them immediately

Bret, you go first & let us know how it goes

NYT doing NY Crimes

“I do not think Israel is the aggressor here”, he said. “Insofar as getting the story right helps Israel, I guess you could say I’m trying to help Israel.”

The controversy gained massive attention online, leading to then-president Donald Trump tweeting, “lightweight journalist Bret Stephens, a Conservative who does anything that his bosses at the paper tell him to do! He is now quitting Twitter after being called a ‘bedbug.’ Tough guy!”

In a December 2019 column titled “The Secrets of Jewish Genius”,[42] in which he contended that Ashkenazi Jews have a history of alternative thinking which has led them to be successful. This article led to accusations of eugenics and racism. The column originally said that “Ashkenazi Jews might have a marginal advantage over their gentile peers when it comes to thinking better. Where their advantage more often lies is in thinking different.”[43][44] Following widespread criticism, The New York Times editors deleted the section of the column in which he appeared to claim that Ashkenazi Jews are genetically superior to other groups.[45] The editors said that Stephens erred in citing an academic study by an author with “racist views” whose 2005 paper advanced a genetic hypothesis for the basis of intelligence among Ashkenazi Jews.[45][46] The Times’s deletion was criticized by Jonathan Haidt, Nadine Strossen, and Steven Pinker, who called it “surrender to an outrage mob”.[47]

In February 2021, Stephens wrote a column critical of the Times’s dismissal of Donald McNeil for using a racial slur against African Americans in the context of a discussion with students of the slur’s usage. Six students present on the occasion said that McNeil had used the word “in a way that they perceived as casual, unnecessary or even gratuitous”, but one of them added that “McNeil’s opinions didn’t disparage African Americans”.[48] The Times spiked the column,[49][50] but it was leaked to the New York Post, which published it.[51] Stephens principally argued against the editor’s initial position that the newspaper would “not tolerate racist language regardless of intent”;[49][51] the editor subsequently backed down from that position.

Absolutely amazing, no reflection on the run-up to the Iraq War even though there was so much handwringing about how it was wrong and they should’ve been more skeptical and they had a temporary bout on insanity cause George Bush was just so charismatic and they’d never do it again

Holy shit. I shouldn’t be surprised but he brought out the old “Iran is nearly there” chestnut.

This year, Secretary of State Antony Blinken warned that Iran was within a week or two of being able to produce enough weapons-grade uranium for a nuclear bomb.

Emphasis mine.

As for Israel, it has demonstrated again that its investment in missile-defense technologies that critics said would never work has paid off, chiefly in hundreds or thousands of lives saved. The same type of counterconventional wisdom will serve it well as it completes Hezbollah’s decapitation in Lebanon and Hamas’s evisceration in Gaza. Wars, once entered, need to be fought through to an unequivocal victory.

I’m stealing “counterconventional”. At least the comments aren’t what I expected. They’re shitting on him hard.

Before or after the election?

Judith Miller’s NYTimes up to the same old warmongering, I see.

BEDBUG

Bret and rest of the new york crimes should enlist considering their ghoul ass love talking about starting wars.
