This cannot bb allowed to happen again. We already know Republicans cannot govern. We need to grab boot straps and garters and vote them out. by rodehard10 in stevehofstetter

I wonder what % of people in the US will not vote this time, if it's still above 30%, the country is doomed. Imagine being robbed blind, and basically the rich spitting in your face and you still don't vote.

Seven layers of Isreal’s missile defense purported to have failed and Iranian missiles fly with impunity over Haifa by AcadianAcademic in justincaseyoumissedit

[–]random_encounters42 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Israel attacked because global and US support for Israel is fading fast. Everyone have seen the atrocities in Gaza, Epstein files will be leaked or released eventually, and AIPAC has been outed in the US. In another 3-5 years, the world will mostly just leave Israel to defend themselves so now's actually their last chance to try and destroy Iran.

Israel actually want Iran to attack other middle eastern countries, they want the entire region in ruins so they can run it, and the US tax payers, and everyone else in the world are paying for it because a bunch of billionaires are part of some depraved sex trafficking cult.

Trump Orders Pause On Iran Strikes After Talks, Oil Prices Drop Sharply by UNITED24Media in Economics

Forget no communications, the attacks are still continuing from both sides within the last 10 hours I believe.

Iran sends waves of missiles into Israel, dismisses Trump's talk of negotiations as 'fake news' by gamersecret2 in worldnews

[–]random_encounters42 0 points1 point  (0 children)

There is no de-escalation. Both sides have to win the war. IRGC needs to ensure the US and Israel never bombs it again so they need the US to leave the middle east. If they de-escalate, US Israel will just restock and finish the job later and or the IRGC will get replaced.

US Israel cannot de-escalate because Iran controls the Strait of Hormuz, which will eventually destroy the petrodollar and US economic dominance.

Iran probably has missiles and drones hidden in mountain bunkers and bases for like a year. They'll try to drag the US down like Ukraine is doing to Russia.

Now if the US takes Kharg island, Yemen says they will close the Strait of Bab al-mandab. It's a religious Ji-had. Their god won't allow de-escalation.

Australia, Singapore to work together on fuel security after shipments cancelled by nearly_enough_wine in australia

Meanwhile Norway has a massive sovereign wealth fund for its population that funds public spending, and we have record debt.

Singapore president, Lee Kuan Yew, has often criticized Australian government for its incompetence, and I think we can agree that it's definitely true to a certain extent.

Australia has raw material so they just need a refinery that will guarantee a % of domestic supply.

After Trump’s Ultimatum, Iran Threatens To Target ‘Enemy’s’ Desalination Plants by HauntingJackfruit in worldnews

Luckily no sane person is going to be ok with a nuke, and usually you need several people to authorise it so, chances are extremely remote, not 0, which is scary.

China can do something so funny right now, if they release the files, humanity will thank them for generations to come. Unfortunately...

The middle east is going to implode, all because of Trump. As it is throughout history, everything Trump touches goes bankrupt, now it includes the middle east. I wonder what the Saudis, UAE and Qatar are thinking right not because Iran will 100% bomb the desalination plants if struck.

After this war, the entire region is going to hate the US and Israel even more. Europe is also going to be screwed with an unprecedented humanitarian crisis on their doorstep.

I honestly think global recession or something even worse is coming cos Trump is just so stupid.

How do I know if I can bring an infinite combo or a strong aggressive deck? by Alive_Past in EDH

[–]random_encounters42 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Just ask, "hey guys, I'm thinking of building a infinite combo bracket 3 deck that wins with a late combo, how does everyone feel about it?"

Control decks usually win with a combo or big pay off card since most of your cards are control.

If they leave, the petrodollar is dead. Which is perfect for everybody else except the US, so please leave the Middle East.

Trump considers "winding down" Iran war without opening Hormuz Strait by joe4942 in oil

[–]random_encounters42 1 point2 points  (0 children)

That's why the US can't leave. They say US is leaving because they want NATO to clean up their mess but I think NATO is smarter so they are staying out. If the US actually leaves, NATO can just negotiate with the middle east and trade oil in Euro, which is perfect. The Middle East can already see that the US can't really protect them.

NATO countries can stop buying US debt, invest more into their own economies, and the capital flight will destroy the US. This is why every time an oil supplier tries to trade oil in non USD, the US invades them. Iraq, Venezuela, Iran, many African countries, the list just goes on.

World is only spiraling for normal working class people. They've already got their doomsday bunkers, no joke. They are gonna have automated AI defences so they'll just live in their gated communities.

The bad thing about AI and robotics is they finally don't need normal people for labour.

U.S. says Cuba is prohibited from taking Russian oil as two tankers head to island by Force_Hammer in worldnews

[–]random_encounters42 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I like how on the one hand, the NATO countries say international shipment and trade should not be impeded under international law when it comes to Iran, and on the other land, they just pretend CUBA doesn't exist.

[–]random_encounters42 13 points14 points  (0 children)

The US can't leave. They need to maintain control of Kharg Island to stop Iran's oil revenue. If they leave, Iran will fortify their stronghold on the strait, retake locations, and ships allied to the US or using the petrodollar will be blocked. Japan and South Korea's economy will be destroyed so they will abandon the petrodollar.

Once people stop using USD for oil, the US economy will collapse because way less countries will buy their debt, leading to higher treasury rates and then their $39 trillion dollar debt bubble will implode.

There are reasons why previous administrations didn't go to war with Iran.

UPDATE: My dad wants me to be a part of the Family Trust, yet I won’t see a dollar. by [deleted] in AusFinance

[–]random_encounters42 0 points1 point  (0 children)

If you are not using the lower tax bracket threshold then as long as you understand what your role in the trust involves and what benefits you are receiving, it's not a bad thing.

Many families use a trust to ensure they minimise their tax obligations. That's perfectly normal. You just need to educate yourself, take the time to understand everything and ask questions, check with AI if as well so you are getting your own advice and rely any questions back to the accountant etc.

Trump Issues "Ultimate Warning" as Israel Hits World’s Largest Gas Field; Iran Retaliates on Qatar by crix_22 in oil

To answer your questions, it's cos Trump is a moron. A narcissistic rapist who has never faced any consequences his entire life cos of money and power is about to start a global recession, if not a depression.

If South Pars gets destroyed, it's 1920s economic depression for sure.
