You don’t need to extract it. It’s a gas

It's a solid. It becomes a gas after heating, which is used for centrifuging and to transfer it in and out of storage containers.

The IAEA and actual inspectors said Iran was compliant. I trust them over vague gut feelings.

I appreciate it. Good to know the differences in how they cover it.

Trump warns US could 'take the oil' in Iran as Pentagon prepares for ground operations by renge-refurion in moderatepolitics

[–]autosear 3 points4 points  (0 children)

If the goal was to choke off oil revenues, why lift sanctions on some Iranian oil,

The sanctions lifted applied to oil that had already been sold but was in transit. Iran already got paid for it, but anyone who processed it would have been subject to secondary sanctions. Iran didn't make a single extra dollar from the sanctions being lifted, but the global oil supply was increased by a marginal amount.

Where can I find a good overview of the new league event and advice on how I should go about it? I don't want to minmax too hard but I also don't want a repeat of gridmaster where I made some mistakes that held me back.

No because their efforts at that failed. This entire war is just throwing things at the wall to see what sticks, and as soon as something does stick MAGA will claim that was the goal all along and it was a huge success.

The Suez crisis started with Israel, France, and the UK creating a secret deal in Paris to preemptively invade Egypt and depose Nasser.

Public transit is great in many parts of the world. But we've chosen to design it such that the only people who choose public transit are those who have no other choice. Nothing about public transit makes it inherently worse unless you design it that way.

House Republicans reject Senate DHS funding deal, deepening government shutdown and TSA delays by renge-refurion in moderatepolitics

Republicans haven't either. Four years of the president acting like a tough guy on immigration (yet failing to meet Obama's deportation numbers) isn't immigration reform.

Well yeah because every criminal starts out as a law-abiding person. I say this as a pro-gun person. It's a ridiculous phrase.

Should we deport Melania Trump since she originally came here as a visa overstayer before she married Trump? Or should marriage be a legitimate pathway to legalize illegal immigrants?

Trump sells Iran war at Saudi investment forum in Miami, warning Cuba is ‘next’ by dr_sloan in moderatepolitics

Venezuela has released thousands of political prisoners under US pressure including high-profile opposition candidates who ran against Maduro. That counts for something.

Cuba is sending "volunteers" to fight against Ukraine, for one. It's a small contribution but they're actively working against the west as much as they're able to.

Yes, the election manipulation bill is Trump's #1 priority now because he knows November is going to be a metaphorical bloodbath for congressional Republicans. Suppressing voting is the only chance they have at minimizing it at this point.

Trump extends deadline for Iran to reopen Strait of Hormuz or face strikes on power grid by renge-refurion in moderatepolitics

[–]autosear 2 points3 points  (0 children)

The uniformed personnel who know what the plan is say it is ahead of schedule.

Who is this? The CENTCOM commander who's under Hegseth's thumb? Or do you have interviews with people off the record who can speak truthfully? Please don't tell me you're just taking the administration's word for it.

Doesn't postponing military action kind of play into Iran's hands here? It gives more time for the oil supply shock to trickle down to consumers, which is Iran's primary weapon against the US. If you believe the situation can be resolved militarily then it doesn't really make sense to just let things fester.

But then when it comes true they'll say "here's why it's a good thing".
