Iran has turned to "shadow tankers" (aging, uninsured vessels, registered in countries with no regulatory enforcement) to move oil through one of the world's most critical shipping routes.
Sun Tzu (D-NY) - “When your enemy is making a mistake, fix it for him at great cost to yourself.”
Devastating reporting. Like RFK Jr., Kristi Noem, and Marco Rubio, Pete Hegseth is reshaping his department to indiscriminately kill tons and tons of children.
A major throughline of the Trump administration.
Holy shit - this would be very, very bad:
"The databases, called “Numident” and the “Master Death File,” include records for more than 500 million living and dead Americans, including Social Security numbers, places and dates of birth, citizenship, race and ethnicity, and parents’ names."
5/ And on the Strait of Hormuz, they had NO PLAN. I can't go into more detail about how Iran gums up the Strait, but suffice it say, right now, they don't know how to get it safely back open.
Which is unforgiveable, because this part of the disaster was 100% foreseeable.
America is about to learn how tiny the federal gas tax has been all this time. 18¢ per gallon, unchanged since 1993 and not tied to inflation. Fill your SUV’s tank and you can buy half a pack of gum on Uncle Sam.
La Planificación de la OTAN es que los europeos dragan minas!
Si Irán está minando el estrecho, buena suerte reabriendo eso a corto plazo.
Y la única forma de mantenerlo abierto sería ocupando la costa de Irán.
Es decir, una escalada.
A ver, es un VISIONARIO. Esto quedará integrado en el METAVERSO y VA A CAMBIAR TODO.
Lo repito, una vez más. LOS MERCAOS están subestimando horriblemente el pollo que ha armado el Cheeto en Irán.
So what are we going to do? Bomb them?
Meta compra una red social llena de bots de inteligencia artificial.
Yo creía que Meta era ya la propietaria de Fecebook, pero creo que han comprado OTRA red llena de bots.

If it actually happens it seems to virtually guarantee a worldwide economic crisis and it’s also reported to be happening, so naturally no one in politics or news or finance seems too concerned about it

23 tarjetas rojas. 23.
The Trump DOJ gave Ticketmaster a sweetheart deal that keeps their monopoly intact & does nothing to stop their ridiculously high prices & fees.
The deal was so good, their stock price jumped 6.2% after the news broke.
Once again: Trump's putting corporations over consumers.
In this case, as some posters have mentioned, it is more a case of the Great Idiot Theory of History which would be relevant.
But also if you are the Iranian regime and you survive this, you obviously sprint to a nuclear weapon, right?
Like, flat out dead sprint, as fast as you can, trying to get there before Netanyahu gets Uncle Sam to ambush you in a dark alley again. That seems the obvious move.
As an IR professor, it's depressing that this is outperforming all others as the best theory of US foreign policy
what's happening here I wonder, looks like a bunch of ships are trying to make a run through hormuz at 4 AM
An hour apart. Perhaps we should stop treating the mindless weathervane spinning in the breeze as if it has a clear strategic direction we can ascertain.
La conferencia de prensa de Trump sugiere que mi escenario más plausible (cantar victoria y dejar de la guerra a medias) es lo que ahora mismo tiene en mente.
Aunque mi predicción de que Trump va a cantar victoria, montarse un triunfo romano y pedir el Nobel de la paz sigue siendo la salida más probable.
Indeed, assuming this represents current policy, it is an open admission that the regime change effort has failed, de-nuclearization is likewise impossible or impractical and the only objective that remains is to extricate from a costly failure.
La burbuja de la IA se está financiando con dinero de los petroestados del golfo, esos mismos que no pueden vender nada ahora.
Quicir, el suministro de petróleo ha caído un 20% de golpe, hay varios centros financieros en medio de una guerra y Trump parece que no tiene idea de qué quiere o cómo cerrar el pollo que ha armado.
Y la bolsa ha bajado un pelín, pero no mucho.
¿Soy yo, o los MERCAOS están un poco demasiado tranquilos y no se acaban de creer que la guerra va en serio?
Oye, que ganamos todas las guerras civiles.
Vale que es difícil perder cuando juegas contra tí mismo, pero mira cuántas guerras civiles acaban durando décadas sin que nadie sea capaz de ganarlas.
Y nuestra victoria más reciente fuera (Alhucemas) es posterior a 1918.
