Iran Captures Three British Boats

Iran wants to play the tough-guy. With the second-most powerful navy in the region, at least.

What might account for this hostile action?

Mort Kondracke reported on the Beltway Boys on Saturday (can't find a link) that the US had agreed to sell Israel KC-135 Stratotankers. These massive aerial-refueling planes will allow heavily-armed Israeli F-15's to fly as far as, oh, who knows, let's say Teheran, and carry out strategic bombing missions against, oh, who can say what they'd be used against, let's say nuclear reactors and uranium-enrichment factories.

One can only hope that Israel is readying a plan to take out whatever needs to be taken out in Iran. Soon.

Iran better have a clear claim to a territorial violation. If I remember correctly, England doesn't like peoeple fucking with their boats.

I suspect this will end quickly, because Iran will quickly realize they are careening downhill on an icy road toward an oak tree with an 80 mile per hour wind at their backs.

I do so love the word "quickly".

I wonder if the Iranians will discover that, in fact, there is no cannibalism in the Royal Navy. None.

And when you say none, you mean some, right Nathan?

This isn't Christmas Eve fare, and I thought about waiting until the 26th to post it, but supposedly an amateur detective has solved the Zodiac killer mystery. And the horrific Black Dahlia killing. He says it's the same person! I always thought of them as very far apart in time but I think Black Dahlia was mid-fifties (nope, 1947) mid and the Zodiac murders began in 1968 so it's possible it's the same killer.

The killer, if it's the same man, would have been in his 20s when he killed the Black Dahlia and his 40s when he did the Zodiac murders. Possible.

A little caveat: I saw someone snark on Reddit, "The Zodiac case gets solved more often than Wordle." There are a ton of coincidences here, supposedly, like a Zodiac cipher being solved by the name "Elizabeth." Elizabeth Short was the name of the so-called Black Dahlia.

If you don't know about the Black Dahlia, don't look it up. Just accept that it's grisly on the level of Jack the Ripper.

Yes, the named suspect resembles the police sketch of Zodiac.

Here's a podcast with the amateur sleuth who claims he cracked the Zodiac.
