So AGI, then
But didn’t Congress reactivate the draft?
en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Selecti...
I guess the steelman is that Trump somehow satisfies Bibi that the threat is neutralized?
Can the President even reactivate the draft unilaterally?
A: ah, I thought “shut-in” meant the product was shut inside the Gulf, not inside the well
B: but the Senate was informed that Jedha was destroyed in a mining disaster
How long until they run out of storage capacity and have to turn off the wells? How long after the war ends would it take to turn them back on?
I guess I just wonder what signs you’re seeing? “Trump declares victory and walks away” - his usual way of avoiding a fight he’ll lose at home, and what his people seem to be signaling - doesn’t open up the straits without Iranian cooperation!
Maybe I’m missing something?
Biden did this! For four years!
I don’t see it. The timeline for the war gets longer every day
This is why I have a hard time taking “this will be over imminently” people seriously
Tough when the new guy is the son of the last guy you killed!
Thriller movie idea: terminally ill man purchases oil futures in wife’s name, commits suicide attack against oil infrastructure to spike price
What’s your model? Sure, TACO, but Trump chickening out won’t resolve the problem. Israel wants an Iranian failstate, and Iran choking off the oil supply is its only way of resisting that.
Six years is too long for someone that old. Dianne Feinstein seemed to be in perfectly decent health in 2018.
That being said, when the alternative is a Nazi,
Definitely doesn’t help that Trump’s people are more or less (falsely) saying “yes, we’re letting Israel dictate our FP, but don’t worry that’s a good thing”
Btw, the only evidence that Platner is married to a Jewish woman is a VDARE writer hypothesizing from his wife’s surname.
Who is doing the negotiating? Can we speak with them for a week before we or Israel bury them under a pile of rubble?

…did he?
Kind of difficult given that the strait is 50 miles wide at its narrowest point
The crazy thing is, Charles is fairly liberal for a man who was raised in an institution founded on the premise that his family was chosen by God to rule. If a Reform government elected by 1/3 of voters tried to pass deeply illiberal and unpopular legislation… does he intervene?
Oh, and Trump felt emboldened by the total tactical success of the Maduro raid and the subservience of the Venezuelan government since then. (Also a factor in the brief renewal of his crusade for Greenland!)
And most bus drivers aren’t suicidal!
It was a confluence of factors. Trump wants revenge for the assassination plots. The military wanted to distract him from Greenland, and has wanted this war anyways. The protests raised the salience of Iran for hawks. And Bibi felt emboldened by the neutering of Iran’s proxies.
It’s funny how all the old bromides about the President not controlling the economy don’t apply anymore.
Different bus drivers won’t normally get you to your destination much faster or slower. But a suicidal one can absolutely drive you into a ditch.
The way the timeline for this war doubles every day kind of reminds me of the chessboard rice problem
Heck, everyone on my program arguably qualifies. Every job related to nuclear weapons engineering is a BS job until we’re at DEFCON 1.
Everyone knows this is the case for, like, security guards. My dad is in a similar situation as a cybersecurity guy for a hospital. His days are boring most of the time, with the occasional five alarm fire because some hotshot unfireable doctor downloaded a virus onto the hospital servers.
Even the allegation is just that Claude incorrectly classified the school as part of the military base. Nobody is claiming that it had control over the firing systems.
And ofc one instance of Claude isn’t going to have any special insight into the failure modes of another instance.
