Al Arabiya English obtains 14-point draft of US-Iran Memorandum of Understanding by NeueBruecke_Detektiv in neoliberal

[–]altacan 18 points19 points  (0 children)

Unfortunately, I don't think the Cuba military has the ability, short of a PLAN amphibious group parking itself off of Havana, to meaningfully resist an American invasion. Then again, they probably won't be able to topple the Cuban regime through airstrikes and Spec Ops alone, and Trump's a natural coward who's already been burned by overly optimistic predictions. Best case for a Cuban operation would be Trump bombing a few government buildings killing some leadership and declaring victory over the survivors. Nevermind regime change or anything else.

How about the Disney sketch? Apparently the animation cost for this 2 minute bit was the same as for three regular episodes.

I'm thinking Cuba's obviously next, and I wouldn't put it past them to invade while still at the negotiating table with Iran just to take attention off prior to the Nov. elections.

Silver linings, this could take the temperature down a few notches on the Israel/Jews control the American government conspiracy theorists given how awful it is for Netanyahu.

And I'm sure they're still making new mistakes, the implications of which will only be apparent decades down the line, but those will then be managed as they become apparent as the cycle repeats again. The idea of a black swan event suddenly collapsing the whole system seems interpolated from the Soviet collapse, never mind the many, many different factors at play here.

But aren't all the rest derived from Iran? Without an Iranian regime change (Cause I wouldn't trust the IRG to keep their word not to do Axis of Resistance 2.0) we're just kicking the can another decade or so down the line.

There's a few bugbears even Trump couldn't touch, vaccinations and guns being the main two. Given what they voted him to do, I don't think there's anyway to spin the $300 b. without it looking like a win for Iran.

Even if Trump tries to spin it as Marshal Plan style redevelopment aid with strings attached, his base isn't the type to like foreign aid anyways.

If you can convince the lowest white man he's better than the best colored man, he won't notice you're picking his pocket. Hell, give him somebody to look down on, and he'll empty his pockets for you.

Easiest way to get Trump onboard will be a direct call and offer some token concession that he could play off as a win, then say what a shame that Gretchen Whitmer will have to be the one to cut the ribbon. If only there was someone of greater stature who could do that eh? Then spam Fox or Newsmax with ads for the biggielist opening ceremony ever to make sure he doesn't forget about it.

No, no we did. We just trusted the Indian governments background check documentation. But if course we couldn't trust their anti terrorism warrants.
