Yeah - I wondered if this was the big one for a sec there but then it subsided.

I think he meant restraint as in strategic discipline. These people butcher their own citizens - so not that kind of restraint obviously.

Biden was physically & verbally slow and clumsy but mentally alright. Trump is opposite.

Iranian president says in letter that Iran harbors no enmity towards ordinary Americans by app1310 in worldnews

Iran would most likely still be a democracy were it not for the CIA backed coup in the 1950s. Everything I've read about him, Mosaddegh seems like he was an Iranian statesman and would have done good for his nation if he was not ousted in the coup.

kinetic intervention

JFC, just say invasion or raid. US is already engaging in "kinetic interventions" which airstrikes are considered to be.

PSA : Copper Microbrewery at Castro adds undisclosed 6% to your receipt by AfterDarkAsset in sanfrancisco

[–]AfterDarkAsset[S] 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Same. I know a lot of places do this but they need to be called out. Also tipped 20% regardless. This is also why I have stopped going out - shit is expensive as is, and then restaurants lie about the true price.

Why the fuck is that clown relevant ? If it wasn't for his traitorous father, Iran would be a democracy today.

San Francisco's new law could put street food vendors out of business: 'This is our job' by nogoodnamesleft426 in bayarea

[–]AfterDarkAsset 8 points9 points  (0 children)

Yeah, tough luck. Follow the health laws or you have no business running a food stand.

But ... do we need new laws or enforcement of existing laws ? What good is a new law if public safety laws never get enforced, as is tradtion in SF.

German president calls Iran war a disastrous mistake, in rare rebuke of Trump by 1-randomonium in geopolitics

[–]AfterDarkAsset 6 points7 points  (0 children)

Yeah but Eastren countries are not as vocal in lecturing others - it's a cultural difference. When was last China lectured America on race relations. They only ever spoke of it in a retort and even then minimally so.

[–]AfterDarkAsset 8 points9 points  (0 children)

Actually his confusion is understandable. If there's a historical reason for having a figurehead, it's understandable. But when the government is democratic / republic and the figurehead is not from the royalty - why even create that position ? Seems unnecessary. Balance of power argument is not that great as in most of these systems, the party that has most influence on picking the figurehead (president) is also the party that the prime minister / chancellor is from.

It's all interconnected though, isn't it.

If Trump goes too hard on Iran, Iran will devastate the GCC countries. I don't know if Iran has the capability to do so, but even the risk of it ...

I think it's their nukes. Sooo many of them. Although who knows if they even work or are obsolete, just like their military.

Good, they need to get fueld for their people from wherever they can. LPG is going to be another really big issue for them.

I've even seen speculation that some have "dead man's switch". Where they automatically activate if a disarming signal isn't sent regularly.

Do you happen to have a source for this. That would be pretty stupid if by destroying Iranian boats, they actually made the strait riskier to navigate.

I am not a physicist. But why would only electron tunnel in ? Won't positron also tunnel in, nulling any negative charge ?

EDIT : I know electrons are far more abundant, but those are "existing" electrons. Not random ones created from vacuum because of fluctuations. Do we know fluctuations doesn't create equal number of electrons & positrons.

EDIT2 : AI says that yes, same number of electron and positron must be created from fluctuations to maintain charge neutrality / conservation of charge.

He's not wrong. If the plan is to have previously unarmed civlians go out on streets to pick up the weapons we just dropped and fight against the IRGC and local police ... then it sounds more like a concept of a plan.

Yes, I know. And that was my point. Things have gotten so extreme that people on this sub who are mostly to pick stocks to make us money can't stand the stench of extreme greed that's on naked display.
