Ok but how would that happen?

This sounds like Fico confessed to being a Kremlin agent with a specific mission rather than a leader of an independent EU member state of Slovakia)

Instead they get a reminder of why combustion is an increasingly obsolete technology, solar/wind-powered electrification is the future, and Democrats were once again right about everything!

They will. Trump has no coherent off-ramp here.

There has never been a difference, and those who would say that goes too far are simply on the side of his evil.

The Biggest Thing Since Steam Flipping the renewable energy script.

"Proven, consistent, and repeatable improvements to renewable energy generation and storage technologies have reached a dramatic watershed that even the Trump regime's dogged, vicious attacks cannot restrain." (from December) www.liberalcurrents.com/the-biggest-...

The idiots who have mismanaged this entire war from the start are now telling you we can "open the Strait of Hormuz" like its gonna be a cake walk...

We war gamed opposed strait transfer a gazillion times and we at best came away alive with the stuffing beat out of us every time....

thinking about this guy rn, wonder how he's feeling

Yea, that's the guy that was making crude jokes about gay folks on Reddit just a few years ago and tried to cover it up

If an American pressed the button to release the weapon that hit that school, it's not their fault. They didn't pick targets. In fact, a tremendous many of failures had to happen. There are thousands of empty cubicles at DIA, CIA and The Pentagon. Situations like this are the result of empty chairs.

What a buffoon Witkoff is. The power dynamic goes the other way. Trump does what Russia says. Russia ignores what Trump and other Americans say.

Look I’m not saying we’re gonna ration gasoline, I’m just saying make sure you get yours before you discuss the situation with your neighbors

That's about to spike pretty good.

But assuming it is pricing in damage to energy infrastructure... What's the ceiling here?

Where are the secular brakes on this thing?

oh just a thought if your plan for overthrowing the Iranian government depends on the Iranian public rising up, you likely shouldn't have defunded the American government run news agency that speaks in Farsi.

If a safe assumption that you don't have any Kurdish/Azeri/Balochi/etc-Iranian friends, any more than you have any Persian-Iranian friends...

"roaring 2020s scenario" lmao

"maintaining editorial independence" means coddling autocrats and shitting on progressive reform

someone i worked with years ago set some kind of macro so when there was a red/white blinking bloomberg headline, his PC would play the mcdonalds LEDELLEDEL kitchen beep. days like today, you'd feel like you were really there

Update: This happened Sunday.

They're allies. Allies shouldn't abandon each other.

As such, Trump's betrayal of Netenyahu is inevitable, and probably coming sooner than anybody thinks.

Are you pretending to have already read Pahlavi's Transition Plan like you're pretending to have Persian friends, or are you just ignoring it?

Right back atcha bucko.

what if we did the failstate of Nixon, Carter, and LBJ at the same time?

Don't believe you, sorry

Frankly we may get there without any political nudging from the president's enemies, but why not help us get there faster? Why not give a few alarmed-sounding press conferences urging calm and suggesting that you hope gas rationing does not become necessary - but not now, in a week.

How exactly would it make sense to consider a counterattack against Gazan fascist theocrats as a "genocide" when it only kills 2% of the population, many of whom are Gazan paramilitaries?

> What is the wavefunction of the concept

We cannot decode its encoding, but it is obviously encoded somehow in the emergent properties of brain's neural networks. There's no magic there and no reason to think there is. We understand some of it, and we'll understand the rest in time.

Some of those numbers are lies, but what's wild is that they are so low!

Gazan forces attacked Israel with every brutality they could muster, hoping their use of the Gazan population as human shields, in a densely fortified urban environment, would protect them.

Yet only about 2% of Gazans died.
