Was his son even a serious contender before last week? Or were they favouring someone more moderate until then?

My vague impression is that they had been mellowing out the last 10 years or so, but maybe that is just wishful thinking.

Unfortunately I don’t think they are done yet. There is a lot further to fall :(

Maybe in 6 months or so they will try to cash in.

Same question for all the other Gulf states too.

Thanks. You too 💚

Because if they are only selling in USD for security guarantees, I imagine they are rethinking the value of that.

Question: If they wanted, could the Saudis just start selling oil in, for instance, Yuan? Make it the petroyuan instead of the petrodollar? Or petrorial?

Or are there reasons why they *must* sell oil in USD?

I misread his post! I am deleting mine.

This pile on is still BS.

I have to sign off and get my kids out the door.

Also: I stopped going to temple years ago because I couldn’t find one that wasn’t rabidly pro-Israel. It was very uncomfortable.

I guess there must be independent ones around, but I certainly understand why people outside the community are confused.

Yes. But it is also important to recognise the effect of decades of propaganda by Israel: that many people view Israel and Jews as one.

->view synagogues de facto as Israeli embassies.

This false perception is reality for many and pretending it isn’t is disingenuous.

Hi! Thank you. Yes, I misread his post.

But I also think coming at him for saying “violence is bad regardless if who does it” is unhinged and counter-productive.

Vital Desalination Plants in Iran and Bahrain Are Attacked

It’s worse than nukes if they decide to decimate the desalination infrastructure. MILLIONS of people will die.

It will trigger the Armageddon these monsters are horny for.

Call your reps and DEMAND they ensure somehow that no more desalination plants are targete.

YouTube video by Forbrukerrådet - Norwegian Consumer Council A Day in the Life of an Ensh*ttificator

Make It Sh*tty!

Amazing PSA about enshittification by the Norwegian Consumer Rights Bureau.

She also thought their car was broken because it didn’t have a roof 🤣

I hadn’t thought about it until now, but I don’t think I have ever seen a convertible in Oslo. I would guess they exist, but are extremely rare/unpopular.

Several transfemme folk know irl have shared similar experiences, soon after starting to transition. It sounds hard, every time. 🫂

YouTube video by Red Hot Chili Peppers Red Hot Chili Peppers - Scar Tissue [Official Music Video] [HD UPGRADE]

In lighter news, Aurora (7) saw a t-shirt and got curious about RHCP. So, I gave her a little tour on YouTube.

Anyway, she correctly thinks Scar tissue is better than Californication.

Though, she was confused why they were all injured in the video 🥰

This should be two separate stories. Israel is amassing troops at the northern border and preparing for a ground invasion and we have apparently have 4000-5000 troops on standby?!?!

That should be the headline, not a buried lede.

JFC she is lucky she isn’t dead.

It’s one of the CIA-Mossad’s favourite plays.

Iran doesn’t have the will, much less resources to so such a thing right now. But we can probably expect a devastating in the next few weeks (in a large blue city) with a few magically flame-proof Iranian passports involved.

He is very likely planning to stage a false flag attack with Mossad. Please work with any remaining honest CIA agents to make sure it doesn’t happen.

Did his dad live off of KFC for decades?

The lack of relevant experience is a big problem.

I don’t care at all that he lacks a degree and neither should you. Putting this as points 1, 2 and 3 here really reinforces the “elitist liberal” image.

Alfred and I had a lot of fun today making this!

The girls helped too ☺️

#2 makes zero sense. They could literally just leave and everyone (but Israel) would be happy.

Huh, that degree in East Asian Studies sure was a waste, I guess.

Sinophile is as problematic a term as “Oriental” and I made a conscious decision not to use it.

Gfy

Tell that to the Palestinians living in the West Bank. Or those in southern Lebanon. Or Golan Heights. You have a very selective view, Paddy.

Reported for trolling.
