Similarly, if you see posts along these lines, do not engage. Report them, block them, and live a happier life than they do. We see too many slapfights that boil down to "Mom! He's bugging me!" and "I'm not touching you!" Going forward, slapfights will result in removed comments and temp bans to cool off.

We ask that the users report any comment or post that violate the rules, to use critical thinking when reading, posting or commenting. Users that post off-topic spam, advocate violence, have multiple comments or posts removed, weaponize reports or violate the code of conduct will be banned.

All posts and comments will be reviewed on a case-by-case basis. This means that some content that violates the rules may be allowed, while other content that does not violate the rules may be removed. The moderators retain the right to remove any content and ban users.

Arabian Gulf monarchies have “suppressed” information about the extent of damage done to their physical infrastructure by attacks from Iran and its allies, Reuters reported on Thursday.

Reuters' assessment is likely to cast new doubt on how Gulf states describe strikes on their territories. For example, Saudi Arabia’s energy ministry said that a Houthi drone strike caused a "limited fire" at the headquarters of the kingdom's national oil company, Aramco, in Dhahran.

But Reuters reported on Wednesday that the headquarters suffered “extensive damage”.

One source said the top three floors of Aramco’s headquarters, including the office of Aramco CEO Amin Nasser, were severely damaged, with part of the ceiling caved in and windows and doors blown out.

The first casualty of war is the truth. No one is giving the enemy intwl on what worked well. The enemy always missed military targets and only hit orphanages and hospitals. Just like you only hit critical military targets and zero collateral damage.

Iran/Houthis could have decent satellite imagery from Russia/ China though.
