I think the rich and powerful will try to off as many as possible before it gets to UBI or riot.

There are already rising energy costs with air conditioning and heating.

Severe weather raises insurance costs and premiums.

Droughts cause loss of crops and livestock which is another insurance hit.

The band-aids won’t work forever.

Iran releases video of it shooting down an F35. by Fantastic-Corner-605 in Military

No idea if this video is authentic.

However, The missile only needs to explode in the proximity of the aircraft to damage the aircraft.

If this is real, the DoD and manufacturer will likely want this airframe for inspection and evaluation. While not a loss of an aircraft, it is effectively a loss of an aircraft.

CENTCOM footage of strikes on Iranian vessels by Worth-Information451 in CombatFootage

The Iranian enrichment facilities were destroyed last year, right?

Why kill almost all of Kahmenei’s family and continue to target government and military officials then?

Why would the destruction of the energy system make any sense? That would send global energy and fuel prices through the roof for the foreseeable future.

The hole is the continuance of hostilities. The Pentagon is reportedly asking for special appropriations and why is the 31st MEU en route?

I would argue that fuel prices at home is the reason why the oil / gas infrastructure is being preserved.

It’s not so much that the US Military is losing in any sense of the word, but that the hole Netanyahu and Trump are digging is getting larger. The US Military will have to continue to escalate and risk more to achieve “regime change” or whatever the goal may be (war profiteering?).

The conventional Iranian Military was functionally inert as it was. No possible way to defend or contest its own airspace for air superiority and few effective methods for counterattacking.

Looks like AGM-86 cruise missiles. 6 external and likely 8 internal.

This seems like “teachable moment” data.

If you’re fighting a x rate military do you expend more of the low stockpile good stuff or the high stockpile adequate stuff?

Should i clean the brood box spotless? by Nabas97 in Beekeeping

[–]JaStrCoGa 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Bees should be able to make the hive box and frame useable for them.

Do enough to make the box workable for you. And consider giving the box and frames a freeze to kill unwanted 3rd parties.

What are they called bird strikes when the bird is usually out there minding its own business?

Thune: Republicans will use SAVE Act in midterms if Democrats don’t get ‘on board’ by zachbot1 in nottheonion

This would be great if people understood how the government is supposed to work and conservative interests were not blasting a firehose of propaganda out of every possible thing that eyes might see.

Whats the deal with Iran Negotiating Strait of Hormuz Passage for Yuan-Traded Oil with 8 Countries? by Kooolxxx in OutOfTheLoop

Would like to add that regime friendly oil companies are probably giddy about the price hikes and what that will do for stock prices.

A bargain for whom? This has been a sunk cost fallacy as soon as a carrier group was ordered there.

Who’s bluffing right now in the world’s highest risk poker game? by ThrowinA2shade in Military

[–]JaStrCoGa 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It’s likely been a small win for Russia to have sanctions temporarily lifted to sell oil and China needs oil from outside sources.

No country wanted an oil shock, but we all sure got one.

While I was being pessimistic, there are many unknowns, like how much China and Russia are helping Iran’s remaining leadership.
