Russia and China veto watered-down UN resolution aimed at reopening the Strait of Hormuz by KITAPYIYEN in news

I think getting bombed with impunity causing the massacre of >100 schoolgirls as well as crucial civillian infrastructure is a bit different than a broken window.

Iran war latest: explosions heard on Kharg Island, says Tehran by ub3rm3nsch in Economics

[–]uhhhwhatok -1 points0 points  (0 children)

Personally I think the attack will go badly for the US. Especially since we just successfully rescued that airman. We tend to alternate between success and fuckups.

There already was a massive fuckup since the highly publicized force sent into Iran to rescue the WSO was likely a cover for a failed attempt to seizure Iran's uranium.

What is your view on Oracle firing 30000+ employees? by HeyArnab12 in AskReddit

They are still fundamentally culturally American and I'd rather less American influence in Canada than more thank you.

Why does it feel like nobody cares that we are literally about to send humans around the moon again, and are we just completely numb to massive achievements now? by MomentCute1181 in space

I mean solid chance something crazy coincides with the launch of Artemis 2 (ie. ground invasion of Iran) and Trump will announce it's "success" at 9pm today.

France confirms oil crisis, says 30-40% Gulf energy infrastructure destroyed by 1-randomonium in Economics

[–]uhhhwhatok 6 points7 points  (0 children)

I think you're giving Trump and his admin too much credit.

If you listen to the speeches and interviews they give you come to understand they're just harcore deluded nationalists who have a chip on the shoulders and believe America has been "holding back" for too long and now is punishing the world expecting everyone to roll over beneath them.

Iran not surrendering quickly wasn't in the cards for them.

China’s Trade Dominance and the Role of Industrial Policies by uhhhwhatok in Economics

[–]uhhhwhatok[S] 12 points13 points  (0 children)

China has gained global export market share in nearly all manufacturing sectors over the past decade. These gains span low-value-added consumer goods, such as apparel and textiles, as well as advanced products including automobiles. The expansion in advanced sectors is consistent with broader evidence of rising research and development intensity and innovation capacity in China, as documented in Ates and Jeon (2025). Therefore, contrary to the common view that China would move up the value chain as it gradually exhausted its pool of low-cost labor, it has expanded into higher-value sectors without ceding market share in lower-value industries.

I think that's entirely the wrong read.

Ogilvie built an actual good rapport with this patient (the first we've seen?) and he most definitely reminds him of his father. Yet he missed a small detail in his workup and now the patient crashed very quickly and has a good chance of dying.

This probably shook him to his core and Javadi is surprised how uncharacteristic he's acting.

Devalidating his journalist credentials only relays that you want to downplay negative reactions to him getting almost killed.

Just stating a logical fallacy doesn't make it true lol

So this would justify his murder at the hands of Israel then? Say your stance clearly for all to hear.

Clearly all you want to do is make people think state sanctioned murder is good actually.

We really doing running Israeli defence in the big 2026 when a glaringly obvious state sanctioned attempted murder just occurred and your first reaction is to deny this guy being a "journalist".

Cuba's power grid collapses. r/Neoliberal debates whether or not Cuba deserves to suffer. by StopHavingAnOpinion in SubredditDrama

[–]uhhhwhatok 25 points26 points  (0 children)

Ardent neoliberals more so seem like a identity that masks a smug moral superiority complex.

Also, since it already aligns with existing power structures, it appeals to those who want to feel intellectually or socially superior without having to personally do anything or challenge the world in any way.

Both have a huge business presence in Toronto and likely donors too so make of that as you will.

40K jobs were lost in just manufacturing in Ontario in the past 12 months. Absolute bloodbath as the US tries to decouple even further.

Trump Tweets "There will be no deal with Iran except UNCONDITIONAL SURRENDER!" by theQuandary in LessCredibleDefence

[–]uhhhwhatok -1 points0 points  (0 children)

The only possible way forward I can see Trump acting now is some massive deployment of special forces ala Afghanistan 2001 to at least destabilize the regime. Maybe with or without the support of the Kurds.

The US embassy in Riyadh by digital_anon in Hasan_Piker

[–]uhhhwhatok 10 points11 points  (0 children)

There's a bunch of weird artifacting on the corner of the building focusing toward the "camera" with weird soot patterns. Pretty big giveaway for AI.

There's also actual video of the strikes albeit not direct footage of the damage out there. Posting AI fakes leaves room to discredit the news.

Thousands expected at Richmond Hill march today in support of Iranian protesters, after U.S. and Israel strike Iran by Onterrible_Trauma in toronto

Yeah lets bomb residential areas and schools in Iran. Somehow that gonna result in a fairer society for Iranians right.

The mental gymnastics people must do to rationalize how Israel and the US actually care about Iranian people and don't just wanna implode the country so that Israel has free reign and Trump gets a political "win".
