top dogs lied through their teeth... while earnest engineers & scientists were working slave shifts for barely more than minimum wages, being supplied by a satan-like deceptive corpus of agents in the west, making shell companies, clearing port security, crafting supply chains...

How did Pakkstan manage to make nuclear weapons without any noise?

I’m sorry this is a dehati ghetto thing to do in front of random western people and it’s the equivalent of black people screeching at graduations.

to anyone who’s uncultured here’s how a zaghrouta sounds, which is clearly not yodeling. It’s a form of celebration preformed at weddings and moments of joy all around west asia and north africa learnt from many generations. calling it “weird” or brushing it off is disrespectful.

@Lamingtons89 @AnalyticaCamil1 It’s probably more like have a ‘mostly neutral’ third party tour the facilities explicitly so they can report to others.
consider it like a porcupine extending its quills, its warning you to not touch.
some people don’t get the hint to not touch

Look, I know Americans are notably absent minded when it comes to paying attention to the wars it gets in — but there’s a reason why ‘we’ sued for a ceasefire, and not the other way around.
Our stockpile of interceptors ‘globally’ is floating just above ‘E’. Over the course of this ceasefire we’ve churned out approximately ‘2’ new THAAD interceptors — the ones DoD needs to shoot down Iran’s ballistic missiles. Not 2 hundred, not 2 dozen — ‘2’.
In the meantime, we’ve given the IRGC a solid week to uncork their mountain bases (on average, they need about 12 hours to do that), and to replenish their frontline launcher units.
The Pakistani generals Iran showed around ‘some’ of their mountain bases have estimated that Iran at least ‘had’ north of 15,000 SRBM+ range missiles, and some 45,000 Shaheds. They’ve fired about a tenth of that, and DoD believes it’s destroyed another tenth. Even if the Iranians are lying their asses off, and their initial stockpile was only a third of that, the global economy will be immiserated if we restart this war.

visits the pope → pope dies
leads Iran negotiations → talks collapse
flies to Hungary to prop up Orbán → Orbán loses in a landslide
Man’s got a streak.

I went grocery shopping today and felt an ever lingering sense of foreboding
I looked around at the sheer amount of food available around me and felt like it was all gonna be empty within weeks

Iran: We are blocking the Strait of Hormuz.

@calvinfroedge Pakistan is Chinas Israel and we have ties with Saudi too so we'll be roped in, when that happens Indians might try something funny

@ripplebrain He should have your tweet and actually capitalised on the opportunity for deescalation in Islamabad

Just taking a step back to appreciate the strategic double bind Trump is in:
- If he gives into Iranian demands, the Democrats will crush him with his own rhetoric, portray him as weak, point out that "gave more money" to Iran than Obama did. The Iranians are holding firm in their demands and refusing to give in to pressure. The Israelis can blow up a deal at any moment, and Trump is clearly too weak to restrain them.
- If he escalates he'll just double down on being responsible for sending gas to $6+ dollars a gallon and triggering a global economic depression. The longer the war drags out, the worse it'll be. There's no clear path to victory, and any deal he might be able to put together at a later date is likely to be even less favorable than the one he just refused.
He's chosen to resolve this, apparently, by accelerating the negative economic effects of the war without directly attacking Iran. It makes no sense because there's no way out
of this trap. This conflict is probably the most egregious unforced foreign policy error in American history.

@calvinfroedge It seems your intuition about this ending was wrong, none the less is crazy that the ceasefire talks even happened around the time you predicted
English
"Chaos ensues" people got it right
Oh well, hoping and voting for peace was worth a shot

This peace summit and surrounding antics (US destroyer entering the Strait) is either the beginning of normalization or a disaster waiting to happen
