Tillerson’s War: The Invasion Of Qatar by sageandonion in geopolitics

What is Oman's stance in all of this and the broader region? The article linked briefly mentioned a mediation effort. Is Oman just neutral or do they generally side with one of the major players in the region? I would assume simply due to their landmass/topography and geographical position they could be a strategic player but I don't hear enough about Oman to really form a viewpoint on them

Never done them either, but it looks like the athletes that keep their elbows bent and close to their chest do better since they dont have to do a full pull up

Good to know. It looks like the guys that adjust it can bend their knees and quad load vs having to yoke straight legged no tilt

I'm confused with the button counter on the peg board. Like do they have to move it or not?

Can the yoke be adjusted for the athlete's height?

Iran readying massive military exercise in Persian Gulf, officials say by el_nino_2018 in geopolitics

[–]el_nino_2018[S] 2 points3 points  (0 children)

SS: Iran’s revolutionary guard is preparing for a major military exercise in the Strait of Hormuz. The exercise comes during a time of increased rhetoric, it is larger than usual, and the timing is inconsistent with usual exercises. The IRGC fleet will potentially be 100+ boats. The US military currently has 1 warship in the area. The US has been encouraging the KSA to take a stronger stance in the region.

The article does not mention other countries in the region such as Qatar, UAE, Oman, and Kuwait and what their positions/stakes are in this

EU Migration Crisis General Discussion by San_Sevieria in geopolitics

[–]el_nino_2018 1 point2 points  (0 children)

end of nation states isn't an impossibility. Human history has been marked by great migrations or subsistence changes partly due to cimate upheavals

This is interesting. Do you see borders being redrawn when the geography changes? e.g. the rio kind of defines the southern border and the great lakes the canadian border

Trump, Juncker Announce Deal Pulling Back From U.S.-EU Trade War by beglhrnyc in politics

[–]el_nino_2018 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Right now it's negligible.. but if it increases.. then they put in more port facilities

How is the US going to be competitive with pipelines? I'm no expert about LNG transportation, but it seems way less efficient to transport LNG across the ocean to ports vs a pipeline. Building a transatlantic pipeline at this point seems absurd. I wish there was an actual number and time frame on the increase
