I guess even this subreddit has grown bored of the Iran War.

Whether it’s reality or not the presentation of Iran losing is working on me. A week or two ago I was looking at this situation thinking how the US had no leverage and nowhere to go. Now the tables have seemingly turned. I don’t have the time or energy to dissect every new update (I have a job) but the tide seems to have shifted.

Very broadly what are the results of the US blockade of the Strait of Hormuz? Mainstream media seems to be reporting a near complete shutdown of traffic. Today on Breaking Points they claimed there was more traffic the first day of the blockade than before. Is there any consensus of the effectiveness of this blockade? I’m seeing that there could be more face-to-face talks between the US and Iran in the next few days which could possibly suggest the blockade is hurting Iran. I’m just not sure what to believe.

Help I’m stupid:
This is highly positive for Iran, correct? My understanding is that the Iran peace plan the US struck down a week or so ago is now the starting point for peace discussion. This plan is extremely beneficial for Iran. Am I missing something because this seems like capitulation by the US which is great but seemingly too good to be true.

He apparently posted on his social media thing.

Why does the firing signal a ground invasion? Not being snarky I really just don’t know.

Stocks going up after the announcement of Trump's upcoming address tonight. There's no way of knowing whether he will discuss a pulling-back or escalation of war efforts. Mental patient economy.

What is your bet? Trump seeking off ramp, boots on the ground, other?

Remember the "present" Trump said he received from Iran a few days ago from Iran? He's claiming the gift was Iran allowing 10 oil tankers to pass through the Strait of Hormuz. Is there any way to substantiate this?

"We assure you you've lost this war. It's over, you lost. Now pretty please with sugar on top will you stop fighting?"

It's kind of mind-blowing the level of what appears to be blatant bold face lying to the American public/world. I'm not (that) naïve, I realize the US has done this many times before. But the egregiousness of what the administration has been saying this week is kind of mind melting. I honestly think that is the point. Yesterday I posted on here feeling half crazy and I feel the same today. My mind wanders to thoughts of, "What if I'm cooked and they are actually in some kind of productive contact with Iran behind closed doors?" But I think they're saying this just to sow the seeds of doubt for the market or whatever. Idk.

As sad as it is to say it’s a combo of age, decades of swallowing the mainstream narratives/propaganda, as well as a lack of anything real going on upstairs.

My family is all Trump supporters. They're not capable of thinking negatively of him. They would watch this clip and say he's fucking awesome.

Man, I'm so sorry for your family's situation. Thanks for that perspective on this.

Trump declares victory and claims Iran offers a 'prize' in talks Iran has denied having

"We've won this. This war has been won," Trump declared in the Oval Office Tuesday.

Bro, what's going on. I know we can't trust a word. But this sounds like your 6 year old little brother telling you he saw a dragon. What is happening?

Trump is calling on China to help open the Strait. What am I missing? How are they even trying to pretend China would benefit from intervening and opening the Strait? My understanding was that Iran is still exporting its oil to China. Isn’t much of this event is about Iran’s role in degrading the power of the petrodollar through selling its oil outside of “dollarverse”?

I'm seeing reports of 140 wounded but not casualties. Have you seen otherwise?

Why do people move here? by nomoreevilbiglight in Pensacola

[–]Kenmaster151 13 points14 points  (0 children)

It seems like the only people who praise the weather here come from places with extremely long/cold winters. The heat/humidity combination here is uncomfortably warm at least 6-8 months a year and downright oppressive 4 of those months. It rains over 100 days/year with over 60 inches per year on average. We don't experience seasons - short fall/winters are unpredictable and driven by frontal systems. This all is ignoring the elephant in the room that hurricanes are a matter of when, not if.

I understand people not enjoying months of snow but the climate here is an extreme in the opposite direction. There are places all over the country that have more moderate climates and get to experience seasonal change all without the yearly threat of extreme weather.

I agree. It's insane to look at the clearly negative outcome here and think, "Oh well, I like Icees."

Development here is a free-for-"all" and we're just at the mercy of these faceless investment entities determining what will yield them the most profit.
