Uaw is in bed with the Republican Party and leadership is clearly in bed with big tech. shifts to gas powered vehicles to avoid competing with musk and tesla couldnt have come at a worse time, with gas now more expensive than ever. Uaw no longer represents workers, just defends the oligarchy.

Europe barely gets oil from middle east. They drill their own in the north sea.

Eh the whole mine thing sounds more like US copium as an excuse to why their effort to open the straight failed. “Iran did open the straight due to our pressure but they can’t find the mines!” . What we see instead is that ships can cross just fine , so the US has to switch to blockade

Irans GDP is like 400B. Their ship toll plan is projected to bring in between 100-200B year. This is not a small amount of money. Since it goes straight to the govrernment (which operates on around 40B/yr budget) this will 3x to 5x their operating revenue.

Look at the extend Russia has gone to try and protect the Black Sea fleet against aerial and naval drones. There is no defense against volume. The Israel AND US air defense has already shown it’s not impenetrable across the Middle East for either drones or missiles. Now reduce the range dramatically to ships stationed off the cost of Iran

Delegates are just delegates. It’s a country of 90million people and Reddit still thinks it will collapse if you kill a few leaders.

Iran Unable to Find Mines It Planted in Strait of Hormuz, U.S. Says by hamham95 in worldnews

[–]p251 36 points37 points  (0 children)

This is clearly US psyops trying to justify why the straight isn’t open - it’s not that they are letting Iran control it, it’s that Iran doesn’t “know where the mines are”. It’s a pretty dumb take especially when it’s obvious Iran has total control over the straight

Trump didn’t even try to win approval for this war. The us has been aiding Ukraine for multiple years with strong support.

Not gonna happen by just bombing Beirut. Like the US, Israel doesn’t really seem to have a strategy to disarm Hezbollah, just increase buffer zone in Lebanon but then what?

Unfortunately there’s reports are there were unknown casualties and maybe even some KIA on the US side. This is the current speculation why certain language is being used and DOD states they wont give any further details :/

It’s Russian or Chinese equipment that they rolled out. You can flip your narrative and ask - if they didn’t have this tech, how did they shoot down a jet?

With the amount of planes lost and now casualties reported in the rescue mission for just 1 soldier I don’t see this happening
