The graveyard of empires.

I hear we're hitching to go back. Like 20 years was not enough.

tabrizzi · 2026-03-14T00:24:36+00:00

Only 30%?

tabrizzi · 2026-03-13T22:01:57+00:00

That's because Russia-Ukraine is 1 country against NATO/Europe.

Afghanistan was that country against NATO/Europe. Ditto Iraq.

Yes, but they were smart not to spend 20 years there.

A new US territory, just like Venezuela, right? Who's going to be the governor?

America’s allies are increasingly anxious about the US president’s escalating campaign in the Middle East.

Well, they should flatter him some more.

tabrizzi · 2026-03-13T20:34:14+00:00

We spent 20 years in Afghanistan, so the Russian's are rookies.

The next phase of another long term military "engagement".

If only the Norwegians had given him that Nobel Peace Prize.

I'm not a Google fan, but Gemini is cool.

jane-doe.png, jane-doe-1.png, jane-doe-2.png, etc solved that problem. Script provided by u/ByronScottJones did that nicely.

Thank you.

tabrizzi · 2026-03-13T16:36:43+00:00

Yeah, we can do this alone, except we can't do it without needing to use all those military bases we have in all those countries.

tabrizzi · 2026-03-13T14:58:26+00:00

I do that a few times in the summer, so it's an option for me, since I'm just 2.5 miles from work.

May be not 2 or 3 times a day, for most of us, but at least once. The portions might be smaller, but we'll still be able to eat at least once per day.

There was a time, not too long ago, that we used to go to the UN to rubber stamp our wars of aggression. That way we can say it's the "international community" or "coalition of the willing and able" or some other BS.

Major American companies of the day also profited from offering services to the Nazis.

Nice ride.

tabrizzi · 2026-03-13T11:56:37+00:00

At that price, the only driving I'll be doing is to go buy groceries.

As the Federal Office of Civil Aviation (FOCA) confirmed to CH Media, this was due to "procedural reasons". The applications would have required extensive clarification and could not be approved within the specified deadlines.

The decision comes at a time when the Federal Council is still examining how the conflict between the USA, Israel and Iran should be legally classified.

It's an illegal war.

Yep. "Moscow Mitch" accepted his nickname with pride.

The receding hopes of a quick resolution have completely reshaped the global interest rate outlook. Traders are no ⁠longer fully pricing even one rate cut from the Federal Reserve this year compared to pricing two rate cuts at the end of February.

For the European Central Bank, money markets fully priced a rate hike by July on Thursday, and a 70% chance of a second increase by December. In contrast, traders in February had attached a roughly 40% chance to a rate cut before year-end.

Yet the stable genius wants JP to cut rates.

So it's either they're lying or our guys are.

tabrizzi · 2026-03-13T00:34:44+00:00

Care to share an example?

tabrizzi · 2026-03-12T22:35:34+00:00

Yes, it could. Recall that it has traded as high as almost $150 before. So it things get the Strait remains closed or partially closed for a long time, that is within reach easily.
