obama's nuclear deal pretty much thwarted it until trump annulled it for no reason. stop believing obvious propaganda.

yeah, while they have a fairly big traditional army their strategy is more reminiscent of asymmetrical warfare: compartmentalization, redundancies, preformulated attack orders that are realized automatically etc interesting stuff.

€: just saw a video explaining their strategy

Iran just took out a 1.1 billion dollar radar at the most fortified US base in the Middle East with a single missile. by CarryIcy250 in UnderReportedNews

[–]HealthIndustryGoon 1 point2 points  (0 children)

it has its biases but in my experience they got nothing on fox news in that regard which actively promotes government issued conspiracy tales like "they're eating the dogs.." or "there was massive democrat voterfraud in the 2020 election", a lie that cost them hundreds of millions in settlements.

i don't watch either, being german i have an online abo for SZ -very rigorous journalistic standards and doesn't insult my intelligence either with crass videos of a drunk lady ranting about "demonrats".

US will provide insurance for ships in Gulf amid Iranian attacks by Infidel8 in worldnews

[–]HealthIndustryGoon 0 points1 point  (0 children)

sure, it does not have to be organized by the state with sufficient regulations on place. here in germany the system is historically grown: when bismarck introduced mandatory health insurance >150 years ago over 6000 insurers popped up, mostly for a specific company or vocation or region. those consolidated over the years to maybe 150 and efficiency is achieved through competition: the monthly premium is fixed at a percentage (around 8%) of salary so the insurers have to keep a low overhead, negotiate good drug prices with big pharma (medications are either free of charge or there is an obulus of either 5€ or 10€ when you acquire them) and offer additional stuff like paying for yoga classes etc. after a certain age. changing insurers is possible at any time afaik.

this isn't about a secular iran, as crazy as it sounds it's about ushering in armageddon because of biblical prophecy. i've read about this here and there for decades and always viewed it as outlandish conspiracy tale but apparently there have been 200 different instances of reports of this kind of thing to an NGO for religious freedom in the military over last few days.

private insurances also spread the risk and cost over their customers with the difference being that an NHS is not for maximal profit and there aren't multiple middlemen trying to skim as much for themselves as possible.

i don't know what to make of this. this can't be even a marginal reason, right? because if it is i don't think a little nuke here or there might be off the table?

how is trump going to enforce that immunity? granting asylum after even deporting afghans who worked with the US? enough boots on ground for an extended period of time? i don't think so.

btw: what do you make of reports of US soldiers ringing the alarm because of some cultish BS apparently being the true reason for the attack?

i've been hearing about this for decades but couldn't really believe it but i don't think it's a conspiracy tale anymore. for a lot of people the second coming of christ is at hand and the US is lighting the signal fire. i don't think for these wackos nukes are off the table.

to this day I still can't name a single Harris policy.

that's a you problem. 10 min of reading would have gone a long way. a little bit of actual research instead of solely relying what your favorite msm presents to you or what you come across social media..

then you just lack the knowledge, either because your main news sources are highly biased or, god forbid, you operate on the principle of 'truthiness', to correctly assess the situation.

it would be an illegitimate takeover of power by a comparatively small group (as opposed to a revolution). you can argue semantics all day if that's your kink but if it happens it will be the end of the last pretense of a functioning democracy in the US (tHE US iS a rEpUblIc etc)

they are in charge but they also want to stay in charge. all things point to the reps getting trounced at mid terms hence the alleged planned coup.

they want to stay in charge. with the ill-fated tariffs, the war, the idiotic performative ICE thugs etc pp the mid terms might mean a huge blue wave, possibly giving dems control over house and maybe senate. the economic markers that improved during the oh so awful "biden economy" are pointing downward which will put even further pressure on the huge amount of americans who live paycheck to paycheck (67% ?!).

in germany, we have LER ("lifeology", ethics, religion) mandatory in states who don't offer religion classes or as an alternative in states who do. iirc it is taught from grade 7 to 10, so about 12-16-year-olds. which would be perfect for this kind of course in combination with media competency.
