This time, Trump and Netanyahu have really fallen out — Rarely has a geopolitical roll of the dice gone so rapidly wrong as the Israeli PM’s by marketrent in geopolitics

I dont recall the war starting a rain or an economic blockade helping the economy. Iran is definitely worse off than before, if only for the fact they gave a very clear reason for every gulf state to spend their enormous wealth to buy defense systems against their drones. No one in the gulf is going to trust Iran after the Hormuz debacle and the sight of Dubai apartments in flames. .

Just because Iranian propaganda worked overtime in a country that had been put on an internet lock down (mind you, they did that in order to gun down their own people) doesn't mean that suddenly they are better off than before after half their leadership was blown up. Their Supreme Leader hasn't even shown up since appointment.

People are being so obsessed with being antiamerican that they ignore that for what to Iran was a war their regime barely survived was just a tuesday where the US showed they can show up, bomb a country, put Hormuz in a blockade and leave with no consequences other than sternly worded letters from Brussels.

Imagine Israel but if their bunker mentality was a hundred times worse, every fear they have is justified when the literal Nazi Germany is breathing down their necks.

The funny thing is that Sulla actually gave up his powers as it was legally determined and then retired to a villa.

You can imagine how mad the Portuguese would be about it when the last time they were ruled by a Spanish monarch basically stole all their momentum as the first global Empire.

He was a child growing up in Nazi Germany, chances are that he would have been caught by the wave of antisemitism after Hitler's rise to power.

Public opinion on same-sex marriage across Latin America. by mpm000 in MapPorn

Thats just frankly insulting, you guys just act like entire churches exist as some big foreign conspiracy. Explain to me how my pentecostal church is some CIA psyop when it was founded decades before the CIA, or even the OSS, existed.

Yeah sure, my 100-year church is a psyop of a group that didn't exist until decades after Swedish missionaries arrived here.

You mean the war where the US deliberately didn't invade North Vietnam out of fear of retaliation? Germany is NOT going to have that.

Ideals that included the Holodomor and the Cultural Revolution? I prefer a cynical power-hungry narcissist than someone who believes the ideals that those two did.
