“Every thinking person fears nuclear war, and every technological state plans for it.
Everyone knows it is madness, and every nation has an excuse.”
— Carl Sagan
Exactly
Now they are trapped.
They are now trapped.
Grinning about mass death and destruction. Yukking it up on the teevee about triggering a world war among nuclear powers. These people believe in the Rapture, but they make me believe in the Antichrist.
It will get worse for everyone.
Lose-lose.
It's the era of the white swan, the shocks to our system were very foreseeable
-Global flu pandemic
-Climate change increasing instability
-Extreme concentration of wealth perverting politics
-Strongman taking advantage of US's ossified system
-War with Iran provoking an energy crisis
The lack of visibility raises questions about what is actually happening on the ground.
Desert Storm and Iraqi Freedom were non-stop reels and vids.
The censorship is telling.
I'm worried about an attack in the US attributed to Iran. Real or 'imagined', it would serve fascist interests and resemble the playbook of so many others who came before.
Possibly part and parcel of the same damn thing.
He has stated in the past that,
"You can cancel elections if you're at war." This, of course, a reference to Ukraine.
Dubai is the Cryptocurrency of Cities. Loved by criminals and perverts and white supremacists
Houthi official warns group is ready to join regional war, says US ‘will be the biggest loser'.-i24 News
A cool thing is that religious death cults like American Evangelicals are so obsessed with their paranoid and unhinged fears l that when they are granted even a bit of power they move heaven and earth to manifest them in the world and create the Armageddon they have always desired.
This is a terrifying thread. And I wouldn't be at all surprised if the idiots running this war never considered it.
Hormuz being closed will kill more than 200 kids in the long run.
The food and energy inflation will cause broad starvation in some parts of the world and will kick off civil wars and regional conflicts over energy resources.
That’s why everyone is focused on the price of oil
How might the Chinese react to the takeover of the Kharg terminal seeing that 80% of their oil imports originate from there?
It is their largest oil export terminal.
Also where 80% of Chinese imports originate from.
They're waiting for that one day.
There are two blocks of flights that leave East Africa for the Gulf. One leaves in the mid morning, usually ferrying holiday makers on their way from their safaris or on their way to Dubai, people returning home using the cheaper ticket. They walk through the airport confidently.
I look forward to the day we no longer need to hear what this imbecile has to say.
Things you do before you go to war.
I don't believe he will.
He's trapped.
💯
The worst so full of conviction...
80% of Chinese oil imports flow out of Kharg.
Better have a plan in place with the Chinese or this takes on shades of 1941 pre-Pearl Harbor.
Side note: Rick Santelli can go to he'll.
Iykyk.
No more excuses for incrementalism. Not a one. Join the GOP otherwise. Same with you voters. Get out of the party if that's how you want to do business. We can replace you with one of the many independent voters who think we shouldn't have a Gestapo at all. I want a smaller tent. No dipshits
Senator Chris Van Hollen:
It took Netanyahu 40 years to find a President who’s stupid enough to drag us into this war with Iran.
SPR in three, two, one.
And,of course now, there is a very real chance we may need it
I'd like to know the types of jobs, their benefits and pay, of thr 80.7% prime age employment number.
Too often the devil is in the detail.
