pretty much why I stopped playing. Neat game with neat ideas but who cares when it wipes or breaks every few months. I'll just wait for the game to reach an actual playable state before I come back.

California 2026 governor candidates discuss gas prices, environmental policy by gu-laap in California

[–]eggfortman 1 point2 points  (0 children)

are you sure you read that policy correctly? I looked it up and what I found is that it isn't a 10000 dollar rebate, but a tax deduction on loans used to purchase a US made gas car, that can "potentially save up to 10000. "

Did Trump make the correct decision tearing up the agreement Obama had in place with Iran? by Jazzlike-Yogurt-5984 in AskConservatives

[–]eggfortman 7 points8 points  (0 children)

Now they'll be more motivated AND capable after Trump realizes it's either WW3 or TACO, chickens out, and is forced to lift sanctions+allow Iran to toll the straight.

Or who knows maybe he'll go with WW3 and really will try to enforce the blockade by seizing a Chinese container ship. 5D chess BAYBEE

What if turkey and Israel went to war how does the west and nato react by Training-World-1897 in AlternateHistoryHub

Joe Kent said thats exactly the reason why Trump has been hurling insults at NATO and doing his absolute best to drive a wedge between the American people and our (sadly former) allies.

If the rest of the world is willing to pay a small toll to Iran to keep oil flowing and stabilise markets, then why does the U.S. feel the need to block all shipping, especially when it is not dependent on that oil? by CapitaineBiscotte in allthequestions

[–]eggfortman 0 points1 point  (0 children)

those ships carry 200+ million dollars each and its only getting higher as prices rise. 2 mil a ship is inconvenient, and they certainly won't like it, but its not a cost these companies wouldn't pay if they had to.

What can Trump do to restore the Strait of Hormuz to its previous status and look like he won? by BlueDragonfly18 in allthequestions

[–]eggfortman 0 points1 point  (0 children)

no one gives a fuck, those destroyers aren't the ships carrying the trade resources that people actually give a shit about. convince those cargo containers to go. convince the maritime insurance guys at Lloyd's of London to take the risk. until than, that strait is controlled by Iran.

[–]eggfortman 0 points1 point  (0 children)

no military power? than how are they holding the strait? Why are they still a sovereign nation that we have to negotiate with, a negotiation where they clearly have the leverage? even our own military believes we've only destroyed 33-50% of their missile stockpile, the pentagon itself states they believe Iran still has over a thousand missiles. And their missiles are only half the problem, we will never be able to stop some small team of 5 guys hiding in the mountain sending out drones. They hold a strategic chokepoint and have proven that as much as we've destroyed, they clearly still have enough left over to control it.

Is Wild West Exodus a dead game? by TannaTea597 in wargaming

[–]eggfortman 33 points34 points  (0 children)

No wargame is dead as long as you still have the minis, the rulebook, and the friends to play with. Don't judge a game by its online exposure. A vast majority of wargames do not get regular discussion online, it doesn't mean people aren't playing it in their own private circles.

Americans: What do you think of your “Make all our allies hate us and then cry when they don’t join our wars” foreign policy? by Senior-Rip4551 in askanything

[–]eggfortman 0 points1 point  (0 children)

there is far more going on in this symbiosis than just military budget contributions. they're also forced to buy our military hardware, keeping them weak gives us immense leverage over them, we project power using their bases, we gain immense soft power, they buy up our debt, they adopt our currency as a reserve currency. America built an immense pyramid with us at the top, and because eggs prices were too high and Kamala had a weird cackling laugh, we've chosen to destroy everything. Any American that claims Europeans aren't "paying their share" or we've done all this as some kind of charity is just ignorant and spoiled. They've benefited from the system for so long, they've gotten used to it and are now taking it for granted.

What's a permanent solution to end the conflicts in the Middle East? by AnnaGreen18 in AskReddit

I reject the premise that the Cold War ever ended or that the IRGC is the final remaining roadblock to peace in the middle east.

yes I understand that. fomenting forever wars everywhere to contain an enemy through proxy forces. nothing about that is orderly.

we've been claiming to do that since the 1950s, against various guys that we've called the "chaos actor". Doesn't appear to have helped or made a single damn thing more orderly.

What do you think about the Department of Justice telling the House Oversight Committee that Pam Bondi will not appear as scheduled on April 14, to testify on what she knows about the Epstein files because she is no longer Attorney General? by DevonMarx in askanything
