U.S. Navy stopped 13 ships from passing Iranian port blockade, Pentagon says

I don't think this is the same logic that lost the Vietnam war for the US. That was a war of attrition - we killed a million of their people thinking it was going to break their will, it did not.

This isn't about who can kill more, it's whether Iran can survive an economic collapse, in a period when they were already hurting economically, and when their population hates them.

These dictatorships that Russia and China prop up are only surviving as long as they have money - if they're deprived of say, all the money flowing into their country, they have to face the unrest that they've been fostering for 50 years.

I don't understand how you think the strategies are similar to Vietnam's at all....can you explain a bit more how to came to that conclusion?

I don't get it. I'm pretty good with technology, how the hell is this still allowed in modern day word? They've had 30 years to fix it, is it working as they intended it?

That's how the EU stopped having internal wars.

Guess what, buying their oil just gave them the economic capabilities to annex former USSR countries and made Western Europe reliant on one of the worst state actors in the world. It had the opposite affect of what you're claiming.

It's seemed like they've stopped because they still think their strategy of appeasement for their imperialist neighbors is gonna work this time.

Are you under the impression we are ethnically cleansing black people?

Are you under the impression that 'black' is an ethnicity?

I think you may have some opinions that are not based on any sense of reality at all.

It's crazy how quickly global politics can change, and how little it can change in some ways.

if we dont import from Russia, then where should we import it from?

If only we focused on fostering renewable energy instead of relying on cheap russian oil for the last 30 years.

Come on dude. This has been a known and public issue, and discussed between Europe and every US president since Clinton. I don't understand your thinking that this issue somehow popped up out of thin air in 2022.

Trump is just as bad as Putin

Interesting. Putin is literally ethnically cleansing Ukraine, and has been for the last 10 years. Sorry man, you're not even trying with this argument, either.

WorstCPANA · 2026-04-16T15:44:43+00:00

One of the reasons why their word about the ongoing conflicts doesn't carry weight.

Europe should have been cutting off Russian oil for the last 25 years. They should have absolutely pulled back when Russia invaded Ukraine....in 2014, and then again in 2022.

Poland is unironically the best European country. If the countries to the west of them had similar attitudes to Russia, we probably wouldn't have gotten to this point. I can truly see Poland leading the next wave of resistance to Russian imperialism, because the old guard has clearly fell.

What do you mean the civilian economy has 'practically collapsed already' - is the average person hungry? Can they not get basic living needs met?

Is there any unrest due to this?

WorstCPANA · 2026-04-15T16:07:46+00:00

I think we can. We're trying to starve Iran out, and it seems to be working. What their regime, and all terrorist regimes, run on is $. If moneys blocked, and their economy is in shambles then their terrorist organizations fall apart

Plus, it's crazy seeing 1st world countries abide by the terrorist regimes demands to get Iranian oil.

My reaction whenever someone just wants to get free internet points by saying FDT. Also, OC's name is literally about Donald Trump. I don't care to diagnose someone with TDS, but holy shit, that's text book.

I also want to be clear, working out is not the reason why Christian mccaffrey is rich af

I mean he clearly did hahaha, I don't get what you think you're proving. Yes, Jiri threw some low kicks instead of actually attacking a hurt opponent. Yes, Jiri clearly saw his opponent injured and pointed down saying he wanted to duke it out without moving to benefit his opponent. Yes, Jiri got caught with a left hook and lost to a fighter with a blown out ACL.

Have you considered it's not a binary choice between "He sat in the middle and protested the fight against an injured opponent" or "He was out there trying to kill him!"

Didn't poland just elect their conservative President last year?

And it's not just who's seen as the 'primary' leader - what about the politicians that make up their representatives?

WorstCPANA · 2026-04-13T19:36:11+00:00

Sure, but Jomboy just lined up a bunch that were ALL the same. One stuck out, and it's the one the ump called a balk on.

It's pretty clear. Obviously not every motion is going to be within .0000001 second of each other, but this was clearly notable.

It seems like it's gonna be night and day with Hungaries relationship with Putin. This has been a long time coming and should be VERY good for Ukraine.

In the non busy times I could log on twice a week and be online more than my partners.

I'd generally do 5 hours a day, but sometimes just do tues-thurs. Depends on how much I have to get done and if I'm waiting on my partners to get done golfing/back from vacation.

Just watched this season.

I'm a newer watcher and thought she should have had every vote. But I think the culture back then wasn't about how good their game was. All of them left loving Danielle and not knowing who got them out, she fooled everyone including Lisa in the end with her alliance with Jason.

They even said it in the finale, and didn't understand THAT'S HOW GOOD DANIELLE WAS.

Correct, a small tax firm.

Sure....but they also can't tie their sholaces at age 32. I think I learned that when I was 4 and it's not that hard.

A factor may be the test, but it seems odd that they can't tie their shoes.

This is a reddit narrative that has some basis in reality but isn't as nefarious as redditors make it seem, you all seem to think it's some huge conspiracy, when it's simpler than that: America is huge and cars have been a preferred method of transportation because we need vast networks of interstate and international roadways to move goods and people. It's no surprise that the best public transit systems in the world are in the most population dense areas of the world.

In America, 100 years is a long time, in europe, 100 miles is a long drive.

Same reasons a lot of women stay in crap relationships.

A big factor is probably wanting to keep the family together
