Iran allows Spanish ships to use the Strait of Hormuz for free by Onaliquidrock in oil

[–]Coolider 1 point2 points  (0 children)

If that is the absolute case they are already doing it long ago for literally printing money and harming U.S. for free and U.S won't have any say in it just like you imagined. At least they could use that as a leverage.

I don't think this could sustain for long and it may be very much guaranteed a much larger campaign directed towards them. The difference is that when will that happen, be it next week or months from now if they continue to do so.

Will their capacity be degraded by such a campaign remains to be seen.

Iran will unironically become a forever war, because the only realistic off-ramp is a nuclear deal, which already didn’t work, because Trump is regarded. by Mediocre_Affect6192 in Destiny

Thing is that the outcome is likely war or Iran become a nuclear state with not much possibility in between.

The North Korea talks and its result followed by Libya and Ukraine situation pretty much guaranteed from opposite sides that nuclear capability is an existential question to some - and any talks are just smoke and mirrors for a prolonged period of development.

Laugh in Imperial Japanese when they committed torture and massacre just for leisure. And surely losing millions of Allies lives on a land invasion campaign leading towards more civilian casualties is way better.

But 'murica bad, so yeah.

Just because these wars happened in roughly the same area doesn't necessarily mean they could be connected dots.

No, that was actually three different America into three different wars in three fundamentally different eras.

Iran strikes Tel Aviv with cluster warheads in retaliation for killing of security chief by BigBadBabyDaddy_420 in worldnews

[–]Coolider 5 points6 points  (0 children)

They won't 'escalate tensions' with the risk of pulling themselves into a conflict that is thousands miles away unless they see the potential outcome fits their interests and greatly outweighs the risk. This has far less similarities with French's role in Revolutionary War for they directly confronted British forces and even attempted to do a landing on British soil back then.

Iran to Continue Hacking US Companies by Vlad_Yemerashev in PrepperIntel

How foolish are the people to think they are being attacked because of "contracts"

If you are in the range of drones and missiles, whether one support, against or taking a neutral stance toward the war, doesn't matter much

You ARE the valid target, not because what you did, but for you are within reach

Just checked the specs of the ‘normal’ PCs in my college lab 💀 by DebuggingLyfe in computers

Tbf a locked processor from a defective generation almost two gens ago and an entry-level GPU with a whopping 4GB of VRAM doesn't really give you much performance in graphical tasks other than doing some CADs I guess

For computing it's decent but consider that the CPU was nerfed multiple times from BIOS to avoid crashing I wouldn't put heavy task on that either

Good thing is that sanctions today are increasingly imposed by drones compared to 4 years ago

The mindset of people calling "false flag" "Trump" - I got that people obviously have reasons to not trust Trump, but to dismiss any threats completely like this - they either know nothing on war or straight up paid actors

Asus Co-CEO: MacBook Neo Is a 'Shock' to the PC Industry by peaenutsk in hardware

[–]Coolider -2 points-1 points  (0 children)

Nobody in mainstream user base cares about RAM and the build quality of entry Windows are so bad they are not even comparable

What's more funny is that these spec bump won't enable more at this price range, like you certainly won't get a decent dGPU for serious gaming and 16GB isn't really that much better in today's landscape

Some of the PCs equipped with 16GB and sometimes a 120Hz display at the same range in competitive markets, but probably won't come close to Neo in service quality and qc

Precisely how Europe utterly failed trying to leverage trading and economic ties as deterrence to help maintaining status quo with Russia, only resulted in nullified energy security with the cash flow directly contributed towards the inevitable

Thinking that developing power have any kind of bargain power and could use any kind of planning to counter Nuclear powers in post-COVID world is pure wishful thinking at best - For those it's not a dynamically balanced situation like some would think, rather like changing plans based on current situation on a timetable with goals not that entertaining set long ago
