It’s going to be a fight in Iran. Most of the population still supports the ayatollah.

Source? From the latest report I’ve found I see 70% oppose the current regime.

The nuance here is that most Iranians favor regime change, but majority of them don't want it to come via US/Israel-led change.

its seemed very deeply like we (i live in the united states) are going to be getting into a conflict with iran FARRRR more likely than a conflict with greenland despite active threats from the president. iran just feels more like something we would get involved in, The Sandbox TM

The idea of conflict with Greenland is kayfabe - it's all posturing and bombast. There's a significant probability that the Trump admin attempts and possibly succeeds at buying Greenland. Not usual for the last 5-6 decades, but in a historic context, fairly normal for nations to do this type of thing. There are legitimate strategic and economic arguments for it - not sure that I buy the arguments, but I can certainly entertain the ideas.

Iran is a sticky situation. It looks like the Trump admin is poised to chip in some missiles if it looks like they can tip the balance definitively for the protesters, but according to the intel accounts, the current positioning of assets means they're still at least a few days away from acting. That could be a deception and at any moment the current regime could get erased, so it's probably prudent to get the hell out of Dodge before the missiles start flying, or before the total crackdown and enforcement gets escalated, in the other direction.

I remember those halcyon days long in the past in the ancient days of 2024 when the idea that we might invade another country with this admin at the helm was poo pood as extremism.

Luckily the Greenland situation is different and we definitely haven’t been going through weekly events “that could never happen”.

As we all know, President Trump is completely comfortable with the word “no” and has been the greatest defender of international law and diplomacy between sovereign nations.

Given the times we live in, I won’t rule out any, even most crazy, possibilities.

If someone told me (Russian) 20 years ago that we’ll invade Ukraine, I’d think it’s some kind of terrible joke. But here we are.

How busy are pizzerie around the Pentagon?
tptacek•35m ago
For what it's worth, that whole thing is apparently bullshit.
TrainedMonkey•13m ago
Can you cite your sources? My understanding is that based on past data there is strong correlation between special military operations, people working late in pentagon, and takeout places in the vicinity having a spike of orders.
tptacek•6m ago
From what I understand, which squares with the times I've been to the Pentagon:

* People working late at the Pentagon don't order pizza to the building

* The Pentagon has pizza options, including late-night ones

* The Pentagon is in fact chock-full of restaurants

* There is in reality no such thing as real telemetry about pizza orders near the Pentagon.

I have the opinion that this pizza thing is mostly just a story people tell because it makes them feel clever. Not high-horsing it; I have those too.
