The mineral in question is actually just table salt.

Actually this is the Economic Defense Unit because a 24 year old groyper posted that Iran has critical minerals and a madwoman at CSIS RTed them.

Don’t ask me, I’m basically out of shape and can’t find a way to motivate myself to train anymore. Parenthood…

Congrats to the "restrainers" who backed this administration. Things are working out just like you planned.

U.S. sub sinks Iranian warship off Sri Lanka, killing 87 and expanding war zone A U.S. submarine sank an Iranian warship off the southern coast of Sri Lanka, killing dozens of sailors and dramatically widening Washington's pursuit of the Iranian navy.

A US submarine sinking a lonely, dinky Iranian surface ship an ocean away from the theater of the main conflictβ€”and 9000
miles from North Americaβ€”makes it pretty clear the US is fighting a general war, without the declaration required by the Constitution. www.reuters.com/world/asia-p...

Yes, and although it is it genuinely useful application, it feels like the jump from "adding up columns of figures on a calculator" to "Microsoft Excel" rather than the first step on the journey to Mars. The big sceptic case has to be "AI is not an exception to the laws of cost and economics"

Bro is the first motherfucker to shoot down a single F-15 in action. And he shoots down three.

There may be an asterisk to this achievement.

Yeah but that’s not their goal. It’s to make it incapable of being a state that can project conventional or semi conventional power at all. To the extent it doesn’t have an economy.

It’s pretty much the Israeli play that once everyone runs out of ammo and targets Iran turns into a perpetual target for lawn mowing.

To add anyone pointing out how Ukraine decentralized its mnc isn’t taking into account that Russia doesn’t control the air and that Ukraine has a a huge supply chain.
