'Iran has developed one of the world's best ultra-high-performance concretes (UHPC).'

What do we have? Crumbling schools and hospitals, potholes in roads. 45+yrs of neoliberalism. Our wealth disappeared to the top. Now the superpowers can't fight a war against a country they sanctioned for as long.

That's US/Israel in freefall. The US empire collapses, its outpost is over.

There was a logic to depleting munitions. The original idea was to get Russia to run out. Except they didn't, the world did instead.

Then Israel started their genocide, which only made matters worse.

The original idea was war between US and China.

Anyway, we already knew about the munitions shortage. That started very early on in #GazaGenocide

We were in Orwellian times when Orwell wrote '1984'. It wasn't fiction. He was describing what was already happening.

We've been in Orwellian times all along.

No point to our media.

'Israel is bombarding, literally bombarding, two Middle East capitals, Beirut and Tehran, killing 100s of civilians, and yet the US and UK media continue to portray Iran as the threat to the region.

Israel has nukes, but Iran is the nuclear threat.'

This is the US empire losing power.

'Iran is fighting for something bigger than itself.

The idea that no nation should need permission to exist.

The idea that sovereignty is not a privilege granted by Washington.

The idea that the world does not belong to one empire.'

India. 'The Treasury didn’t remove sanctions on Russian oil because of a policy rethink. The Treasury removed sanctions because the JPMorgan chart said India hits zero in three weeks and an Indian energy collapse cascades through every supply chain on earth.'

I shared the tweet about the Russian leak. They came back with their reply to it.

'The destruction rate of something you can’t locate inside a mountain you can’t penetrate is zero.'

'The attacker produces faster than the defender can defend. The math doesn’t close.'

So I went after him. He didn't have a satisfactory answer. Then the other person came back with another great tweet! The Russian leak says 5,000 drones per month, but their points stand.

β€œAccording to leaked Russian documents, Tehran can produce around 5,000 drones per month.”
'Hard to see how [...] the US can ramp up the rate of destruction above the rate of production.'

From replies.

'You’re telling the world your adversary is so far ahead on drone production that your move is copying their homework. The country that spent $886 billion on defense last year is reverse-engineering the drone design of a country under forty years of sanctions.'
