@Crypto_McKenna you’ve been a fanboy of some of the stupidest leadership we’ve ever seen. and i mean that like not well thought out, and incompetent. this war is more of the same, but even stupider.

I think many people who are conservative in the US now regret voting for Trump. I am in agreement and his only saving light is amusing tweets.
I have zero support for Donald Trump. It's completely unacceptable to throw your economic policy out the window for foreign policy after he declared himself numerous times as a anti war president. Not only domestically but this has disrupted the entire global economy.
His legacy as far as I am concerned is ruined. I will be first to admit where I am wrong and change my stance accordingly.

@Ashesof_Pompeii @pati_marins64 this may be true but the admin has not even tried to seek out competence. smarter people exist in the US but they choose lap dogs and expel free thinkers.
English
@pati_marins64 There is a crisis of competence in the west. It goes far beyond the Pentagon.
The decline of STEM, the dominance of MBA's.
Not even Plato's cave. Now we live in a world where it is the reflections of the reflections that people perceive as reality.
English
Pentagon
One thing that is very obvious to me is the degradation of Pentagon communication sector.
This kind of institutional communication, like any other during wartime, fabricates information in its favor.
But years ago, it used to do so competently. Today, it is no longer even capable of selecting the images it posts, publishing several clear images of Iranian decoys. It has also contradicted itself more than once during this war about numbers and events
What is happening to America?

@pati_marins64 people on the right would probably blame dei, hiring based upon race, gender, political identity rather than on merit
but the roots of that go back into acedemia, corruption of public schools, colleges. and possibly food and medicine. poisoning peoples bodies and minds.

@jrsesq90 @AntiClanker1337 @mattyglesias No, the JCPOA did not require them to give up their ambitions. It imposed temporary verifiable limits, but did not require them to give up enriched uranium or enrichment capabilities. Even Obama claimed it would only delay breakout by 10-15 years, which is now.
English
I know I’m a little hung up on this but the shameless dishonesty of the Iran Hawks who vociferously denied that their preferred alternative to JCPOA was war only to turn around and insist this war was necessary really bothers me.

On the topic of "evacuation equipment"
The US troops about to be deployed in Iran/Iranian islands would need a lot of that - but they wont have access to it
As a former trauma surgeon, i'll have you know that two major reason US deaths in recent decades' wars were 1. the very solid medevac structures, getting injured soldiers to surgery very quickly, together with 2. complete air supremacy with no threat from drones/missiles
This will inevitably not be possible in Iran - so a bunch of guys who would would usually be saved, will either bleed out, or sit in pus in a matter of days and die of sepsis later
I expect higher US casualties than in past wars if Trump sends ground troops to anywhere in Iran

BREAKING: Trump reportedly briefed on operation to fly excavation equipment into Iran, build a runway, & airlift out ~1,000 pounds of enriched uranium.
English
@RnaudBertrand @1goodtern is ironical a realistical word?
English
Trump right now in his live address: "We're going to hit [Iran] extremely hard over the next 2 to 3 weeks, we're going to bring them back to the stone ages where they belong."
Pure savagery. And textbook genocidal: saying the Iranian people "belong" in the stone ages means he's targeting them as a people, which is the definition of genocidal intent.
That's where letting Gaza happen without consequences gets you...
Also pretty ironical to call others primitive while sounding like a barbarian king on bath salts.

@poordart 60 days is the maximum a military operation can go on without congressional approval, for whatever that’s worth

🕵️ New: U.S. embassies to coordinate with Pentagon psy-ops unit and Elon Musk: 🔹Secretary of State Marco Rubio signed a cable Monday ordering all U.S. embassies and consulates worldwide to run coordinated campaigns against what it calls foreign “anti-American propaganda,” according to The Guardian. 🔹Embassies are instructed to recruit local influencers, academics, and community leaders to spread messaging that appears locally driven rather than directed by Washington. The cable also promotes X’s “Community Notes” feature as a crowdsourced way to counter anti-American narratives “without compromising free speech or privacy.” 🔹The directive tells diplomats to work with the U.S. military’s psychological operations unit and use X—owned by Elon Musk—as a key tool, describing it as an “innovative” way to counter disinformation.

Many Americans believe that the war in Iran harmed the Chinese.
They are deeply mistaken.
Just days ago, the Chinese bought all the Iranian oil that was at sea, more than 1.4 million barrels.
The total estimated volume is around 35-42 million barrels of Iranian oil shipped to China in the last 30 days.
There are no signs that Iran has stopped exporting to China.
Worse still, it is the Chinese who will rebuild Iran, increasing their influence and securing long-term energy and mineral supplies.
Chinese weapons and radars destroyed in Iran? None ever existed. The last confirmed purchase of Chinese weaponry by Iran was more than 20 years ago.
Recently, we saw rumors about Chinese radars and air defenses , just like the Russian ones, that never actually were confirmed.
On top of all that, the Chinese now know far more about American war tactics, formations, and doctrine.
No, there was no benefit in this war, only moral, economic, political, and military strategical losses.
As I said before, decades of work by successive American administrations were thrown in the trash over a situation that was very close to a diplomatic solution.

@bitcoinjack tend to think China is more likely to come out ahead on this one 😔 x.com/pati_marins64/…
Patricia Marins@pati_marins64
It had been a while since I read something so foolish. The Chinese are happier than ever. They are carefully observing, photographing, and documenting every doctrine and vulnerability of the American navy and air force. They are laughing at the depletion of interceptor stocks that will take 5 to 7 years to replenish, not to mention the guided munitions that will take several more years to replace. They are laughing at America’s impotence in protecting its bases and its allies. But more than that, they are paying close attention to the loss of more than $1 billion just in aircraft. There is no one happier today than the Chinese strategists who are watching from the front row as the false American umbrella, sold at a premium price for decades to several countries, is being exposed. Based on what we have seen in the Gulf and knowing the number of batteries on both sides, I dare say that the air defenses of Taiwan, South Korea, and Japan would be exhausted in 48 hours in the event of a Chinese attack. And there is nothing that can be done about it in the short term. It is time for everyone to adjust diplomatically and stop growling while relying on American dentures, because Trump and Netanyahu have exposed the vulnerabilities of this model and thrown away decades of work.

Still seeing the same. Either we bottomed (on bitcoin) or we see a small detour lower and then up (still think small detour lower is most likely). Much will depend on this Iran war. If the US turns out to become the loser, then price discovery may get muted. Gold is now a proxy for market expectations that China will dictate world dominance. Bitcoin is the opposite bet.
Iran war will divide much of who has access to resources required in the quantum and AI race. If US comes out strong, China will be under a severe disadvantage. This will likely be relatively negative for Gold and more positive for Bitcoin, although it seems likely that printing presses will be ignited again once this energy resources scarcity hits the economy and GDP falters.
Seems that Europe, Asia, Australia and New Zealand will suffer the most, simply because of how dependent they are on foreign energy sources. I expect US will put boots on the ground in Iran, oil will see a final short squeeze, at the same time economic activity will start to fall, unemployment will rise, tourism will take a hit, with subsequent pressure on real estate and auto loan industry. Stocks have started to price this scenario.
This will force central banks to back peddle rate hikes (if they were stupid enough to apply them) and start printing to try and save the economy, whilst at the same time the conflict will have been settled one way or another and the inflationary boom will reverberate into 2028/2029 during which time AGI / ASI will be cracked.
This will be the reason the market crashes for a prolonged period of time / price severity because nobody has a framework of what to own in a post quantum / AGI / ASI time. Speculative bets on the full spectrum will unwind which will also see forced selling on the winners simply because of shared liquidity.
The 30’s will follow similarities to the 0’s with a big bubble pop and a slow and steady multi year recovery in which the market will figure out what is value again.
