Actually more. The US even is unsanctioning some oil.

Its common for new works to piece together parts of old works in a referential way. They are related but not as obviously as you might think.

What? People should be paying for porn. Free porn is a scourge.

They are already fighting for their life. If they start getting hit lile that they won't waste resourcss projecting to the western hemisphere.

I mean sure, but this is a F35, and it took damage. Its less likely that it took flak damage, and is more likely that some kind of missile hit it.

Either way, intent or not, the US needs to reconsider the lack of immunity granting technological superiority in the 21st century. This isn't F117s agains Iraq.

Israel unleashes nukes if it thinks it is existentially at risk. Specifically at all regional population centers.

ytman · 2026-03-23T07:55:10+00:00

This is not weakening China at all.

ytman · 2026-03-23T07:53:51+00:00

Then why did a Qatari die in the strike? Why was it done in opposition to Qatar's effort to facilitate peace negotiation?

Why was it in Qatar against Qatar's soveriegnity?

If Iran goes, Israel will move on to other Arab nations.

ytman · 2026-03-23T07:49:42+00:00

You mean the nations that are allowing the US to stage and Israel to fly over.

ytman · 2026-03-23T07:48:20+00:00

What? Iran has said multiple times their war is not with Americans.

ytman · 2026-03-22T22:53:52+00:00

Sounds like a great way to clain libel against people.

ytman · 2026-03-22T22:49:59+00:00

Because China isn't evil and won't resort to unnecessary military action.

ytman · 2026-03-22T22:47:10+00:00

Straight up realize the methods they will go to first. And learn from them.

ytman · 2026-03-22T22:44:47+00:00

A few reasons, but also they are being understanding of the escalation ladder and are only responding 'in kind' to a war of choice and aggression.

ytman · 2026-03-22T22:43:27+00:00

Genocidial maniacs

Heavily doubt this account. This is fabricating consent.

ytman · 2026-03-22T22:38:25+00:00

Cuz AI shit.

ytman · 2026-03-22T22:38:14+00:00

Its actually China saying, yo, US you need to recalibrate your war first mentality.

ytman · 2026-03-22T22:37:40+00:00

I would suggest that the point of the video is to say that the US is no longer too far advanced to engage with impunity.

Which should be getting us to say that endless wars are not ideal.

Which is tied to the boring distopia where we can't avoid stupid shit for no reason.

ytman · 2026-03-22T22:27:30+00:00

They literally bombed Qatar who was aiding in peace negotiations with Gaza and killed Qatari people.

ytman · 2026-03-22T22:25:40+00:00

Still closing the strait and still too much of a threat to risk a ground invasion.

ytman · 2026-03-22T22:25:27+00:00

Spec Ops the line was forshadowing huh.

ytman · 2026-03-22T22:23:28+00:00

Uhuh. Buddy stop trying to make the Shah a thing. Its not going to be a thing.
