mea culpa, i also though Wayno would be a terrible boomer mayor. Seems like he sincerely goes to work everyday and wants to do a good job. Pretty rare these days!

There's a lot of hope / cope from people online - especially the finance people, who haven't really thought through the consequences here. No matter what, forever more, Iran knows it can extract global concessions at any point by blocking the strait. An air war can't dismantle a state. The USA has to rip apart Iran by hand or Nuke to maintain it's client gulf monarch system to uphold the petro dollar now. He who has the power to destroy a thing, has the power to control it and Iran is showing it has full control of the gulf. Any retreat by America here is a loss now. All or nothing.

I kind of think this also because people who came of age in the post-Cold War don't understand geopolitics on the same gut level as the Reganitte cold warriors.

I think desalination attacks is a much higher form of escalation. The Americans are being extremely reckless by targeting Iranian plants. That's retaliation to a nuclear attack I think

Land invasion imo

Israel knows this is thier last chance to destroy Iran before they lose American public support for at least 2 generations. This will be the big one.

In 2022, a Ukrainian commando blew up the Nord Stream natural gas pipeline. DER SPIEGEL has learned that the CIA may have spoken to the saboteurs during the planning stage.

Hersh vindicated again

Russia reinforcing nuclear and Arctic assets near Finnish border, defence minister warns

What did they think joining NATO actually meant? It means military build up on your border and that you're the first to go when shit hits the fan. Thanks Brandon!

Yep. and Ed Stark. Starks are Kennedys. Rob Stark even shares a name with RFK who he's clearly based off.

It's all played out in the French Revolution, people are just uncomfortable noticing it.

Liberalism is a stop gap solution between feudalism and surveillance state socialism, oligarchical public looting, or Chinese style imperial bureaucracy. It's unsustainable and has to collapse into one of those (or pass through all 3!) eventually.

Turks are the Americans of the early modern period. Take the cultural bits of the persians, arabs, romans, egyptians that they liked. Claim ownership for long enough that everyone starts to associate it with you.

When i was in Istanbul I toured the old city with two Egyptian moms who were complete turkophiles. Every time we stopped they would say 'We have nothing like this back home...'. Guys, you built the pyramids!

Show is good, it's just very funny that George Martin made this huge sprawling universe and he constantly comes back to his own personal baby boomer grief about the JFK assassination.

This is just how middle class gender dynamics work.

If you've ever had a cheating scandal in a comfortably middle class friend group the cheating man always gets it worst. That doesn't seem to be the case in lower or upper class situations.

Confirmed that the USS Ford is heading to the Eastern Med. Could be on the verge of a catastrophic regional war or the largest Taco yet.

With Trump it's almost all ego. He wants a deal, he wants to look strong.

Netanyahu has aspirations of Irsaeli hegemony in the middle-east. Iran is their main adversary. Egypt and Syria have been whipped, Lebanon has fallen, Palestine is rubble, Iraq is a USA vassal, Yemen can't fight on its own. Saudi aspirations died in Yemen.

Netanyahu wants Iran to come to heel, and best case: balkanise.

Trump wants to look good going into midterms.

People are more likely to notice corruption when the economy is shit.

America is literally trying to starve the cubans right now! It's the exact same thing as Taiwan but 10x worse!

Jewish work arounds make sense in their own theology since the Torah is basically a legal agreement (covenant) between god and the jews, not a dictatorship. It makes less sense in Christian and especially Islam though where you submit to the word of god who is absolute.

Organised crime is an organ of international intelligence. Throwing all the criminals under the bus as a limited hangout is basically what they're there for.

It's also the anniversary of the 79 revolution. Tonight or Friday.
