@loganclarkhall Am I misremembering things or wasn't the Judge naked during this scene?

@ezralevant Hey Grok what’s the difference between joining a conflict and providing security after a conflict has ended?
English
Oh. I thought Mark Carney said he’d never help.
Different messages for different voters, I guess.

#BREAKING: Canada, allies ready to ‘contribute to appropriate efforts’ on Strait of Hormuz blockage ctvnews.ca/world/mideast-…

@AuronMacintyre Is Blood Meridian the one where a gang of directionless American misfits ventures into foreign lands to kill savages for money but ends up killing innocents of all stripes under the spiritual guidance of a child rapist/devil incarnate who disdains all he can’t control?
English
Since we're doing the Blood Meridian discourse it should be made clear that Cormac McCarthy is one of the greatest American novelists of all time and anyone who doesn't understand this must be deported
English
@RDog861 @ChrisO_wiki This is how Americans actually think.
“If you were prepared to defend yourself against us that means you should be prepared to attack Iran with us.”
Being at the top of the food chain rots your brain about this sort of thing.
English
@ChrisO_wiki LOL, they're willing to take us on but unwilling to take on Iran? I'm not sure we need those kind of "Allies".

1/ Denmark was reportedly preparing for full-scale war with the US over Greenland in January, with military support from France, Germany, and Nordic nations. Elite troops and F-35 jets with live ammunition were sent, and runways were to be blown up to prevent an invasion. ⬇️

@BullNakedCrypto @ShaziGoalie In order to benefit from cheap oil made in your backyard the government has to force oil companies to not sell it at the rate the global market will pay for it, but instead eat losses by selling it domestically for cheaper than they would otherwise sell it.
GET IT YET?
English
@ShaziGoalie crazy how canada has its own oil and they getting fucked by the situation in the middle east lmao
English
@ratlpolicy @EWErickson The counterpoint is that allowing them to come makes it so there is a chance they’ll develop an affinity for the country they’re staying in, and reduces the possibility of conflict.
Who knows how effective that is but the upsides are greater than the downsides.
English
I have a modest proposal: How about we don't allow the family members of regime figures in Iran, China, Russia, or any other enemy of America to live here?
I say deport them all. Every last one. They can go live in their own countries.
Hamidreza@justchangingun
This is Ali Larijani’s daughter. She just got back to Iran from the U.S., where she used to impart her “wisdom” to American students at Emory University, Georgia.
English
@pothen I'm not sure Canadians should count on the CAF to protect us from the biggest real threat to our sovereignty-- the USians
English
The reason so many now support additional investment in Canada's military is to harden us AGAINST invasion or "special operations" by the U.S. (either on its own, or through a scenario coordinated with its now-ally, Russia). It's not to join in U.S. aggression against others. 1/2

@BrunoTertrais Unlike many of the other times he insulted his allies, I genuinely believe he meant this to be an endearing joke.
English
What's remarkable -though unsurprising- is the energy he puts in insulting his best allies. This is psycho level.
CSPAN@cspan
Q: "Why didn't you tell U.S. allies…about the war before attacking Iran?" President Trump: "We wanted surprise. Who knows better about surprise than Japan? Why didn't you tell me about Pearl Harbor?"
English
Never in my sane mind could I imagine that lifting sanctions on Iran during a war with Iran would be framed as a sign of victory.
English
@Kanthan2030 @brithume That’s a really rosy picture given Iran’s demonstration that they could strike Qatari and Saudi energy intrastructure yesterday, and today apparently hit an F-35 forcing it to make an emergency landing.
The US is downplaying Iran’s capabilities.
English
It’s a matter a couple of weeks to secure Strait of Hormuz.
🔹US has destroyed Iran’s entire navy, including mine-laying vessels
🔹US/Israel have obliterated Iranian Air Force & air defense systems
🔹Iran is firing 90-95% fewer drones & missiles now
Soon, US will capture Kharg and other strategic islands in the Gulf.
English
"If the United States can hold firm for the next few weeks, it can fully degrade Iran’s war-making apparatus. This would usher in a multiyear interval of calm of the kind that neither sanctions nor diplomacy has been able to produce in..four decades."

@Albrochier Does Albert not understand the circumstances under which the US entered WWII?
English
In America's defence:
Historically, Europe actually set the tone of doing war together as allies.
We called America to Europe, never the other way around.
Thus from their perspective, this is how it continues.

@OVTweetmarck No more religious nuts near the levers of power, please.

My faith is infinitely more important than a temporal nation, yes
🦅 AlaskaBird (anti-woke)🪶 🇺🇸@AlaskaBird__
If your Catholicism is more important to you than America, go to Italy. We should start accusing Temu Catholics of having duel loyalty.
English
@rushicrypto It must be terrifying.
One the other hand it might be 2500 fewer marines no longer available for the annexation of Canada.
English
@bizlet7 Watch as this worsens and Trump’s ego forces him to further blame Israel for the fiasco.
There is a massive reservoir of rightwing antisemitism and when the neonazis can no longer afford to fill their trucks they will lap it up.
English
We’re going to see levels of Anti Semitism and Anti Americanism that theoretically was thought impossible.

JUST IN: 🇪🇺 Europe gas prices jump 27% after damage to Qatar LNG plant.
English
@JimmyGroot1 @mattgurney Either way the purpose of the Danish response would be to force Trump to pay a domestic price for killing European allies. If Greenland were blockaded the effect would be the same.
English
@mattgurney They could have done it without firing a shot. Blockade the ports and the skies. Starvation and lack of fuel would bring capitulation pretty quickly.
English
The U.S. would have crushed them easily, and then the interesting part would have been seeing how the U.S. public reacted to that.
And the rest of the world, come to think of it.
Anyway, glad the Canadian government now approved the ammunition plan it sat on for four years.

English
@mattgurney That would be the strategy. Force Trump to pay a domestic price for killing allied European soldiers.
I have a feeling the White House would not be posting Fortnite sizzle reels of such an operation (although who can be sure of the depths of their depravity?)
English
@DastDn Throughout this conflict, Iran has given the appearance of being the rational actor and not the US.
It’s crazy and scary
English
Trump keeps trying to use national economic pressure points on people who don't give a shit - like Putin or the mullahs, because they have already stolen their share, AND they are true believers.

TRUMP: NO MORE IRANIAN ENERGY STRIKES AFTER SOUTH PARS, WHICH HE BACKED — BUT COULD REVISIT IF TEHRAN ACTS IN STRATEGIC WATERWAYS - WSJ
English
@DanielLDavis1 People are being forced to choose between Trump and Israel who is a bigger liar.
English
This raises another, troubling issue, however: Israel claimed they coordinated the strike on North Pars gas field directly w U.S. But Trump here claims, no, they didn’t! So who’s running the war?!?
The White House@WhiteHouse
Statement from President Trump on South Pars Gas Field:
English
@Cernovich Yeah and this is the highest stakes war I’ve seen in my lifetime (I’m pushing 40) and it so happens that the most unorthodox US president is in power.
And I mean that in a bad way, Trump has deep character flaws and hangups in addition to being unpredictable.
English
@BasedInOh @AuronMacintyre It’s easier when you understand that he is protecting himself, which is to say his reputation and legacy.
As this gets worse and worse watch for more blame to be heaped on Israel.
English
@AuronMacintyre Sounds like Trump is more interested in protecting Qatar than Isreal in this situation. Weird For someone supposedly controlled by Isreal.
English
This is the second time in a year that Trump has publicly acknowledged that the Israelis ignore him and attacks whoever they want with impunity
