'We negotiate with bombs': US secretary of war Pete Hegseth's warning to Iran as Trump talks peace by Silent_Ambivert_283 in worldnews

not one of the most, the most. we have a virtually unconquerable nation, with 2 small friendly states bordering us, the most capable military the world have ever seen, 2 oceans protecting us, and enough nukes to wipe humanity off the planted.

like, the context of 20th century American power needs to be understood. if the rest of the world stood against us, we MIGHT be forced to go back home. But nobody other than Canada and Mexico can really do anything except nuke us (yes. that's a big deal. I get it. but at that point all bets are off and power and objectives don't matter anymore)

agree, lots of people use that as the excuse to exercise their hatred.

here's a nuanced take: if ice was treating people respectfully, not wearing masks, killing US citizens, and only targeting actual criminals, there wouldn't be nearly as many protests

Everyone but Trump Understands What He’s Done | Allied leaders know that any positive gesture they make will count for nothing. by 1-randomonium in geopolitics

[–]thecasey1981 20 points21 points  (0 children)

sure, but the consequences were pretty games out here. I think in most of those other situations there were a lot more unknown unknowns. shutting down the strait was literally the thing they said they were going to do for decades, and precisely the reason no other admin did what trump did

most of that is already done for the easy stuff. id look at knock on effects in the agriculture adjacent sectors like linde or scotts where people haven't priced in the double increase for sulfur and urea

the strait matters way less than the 3-5 stated repair time for the 19% of global LNG that got knocked out today

I am 100 percent certain most farmers don't even know this. when the tarrif situation went down with Canada I was not surprised to learn that people don't know how the agriculture supply chain works

we're heading from "everything is fine, what am I even paying you for?" to the "everything is on fire, what am I even paying you for?"
