@xEricBucknerx @SFakamoto @GissiSim @Max_Sarcasium1 @grok To go deeper, you’d also have to look at Israel’s regional strategy. If you look at Israel’s neighbors, aside from Egypt and Jordan for very specific reasons, many are in a state of severe instability. Even the Iraq war aligned with its interests, despite the absence of WMDs.

@xEricBucknerx @SFakamoto @GissiSim @Max_Sarcasium1 @grok They couldn’t realistically develop a capable navy or air force under those constraints. Including missiles would likely have sunk the JCPOA. And if they had dismantled their missile program only for Trump to withdraw anyway, they would have been left exposed. 2/2

I hope Americans understand that Trump pulling out of NATO is the start of the Chinese world order. Europe will run to China real quick and start having heavy trade/diplo relations. There is no doubt in my mind. What does US have then? Cuba and Venezuela? Oh... and Israel.

@FoneeNaime @SFakamoto @GissiSim @Max_Sarcasium1 In the past few hours, several people have replied to my comments on China, all of them American and all of them opposed. What’s interesting is that they all use the exact same rhetoric. Just an observation.

@delteded @SFakamoto @GissiSim @Max_Sarcasium1 You completely misunderstand why China is not more militarily active. I can tell you think it's because they are less aggressive, and that may be somewhat true. But the real reason China is not as aggressive is because they suck at war.

@PATRICK15503232 @SFakamoto @GissiSim @Max_Sarcasium1 “Increasingly hot war with China”? Water cannons don’t qualify. It’s ironic coming from a country that, just this year, has talked about taking Greenland from an ally, seized a foreign leader, and launched strikes on Iran while threatening to send it “back to the Stone Age.”

@delteded @SFakamoto @GissiSim @Max_Sarcasium1 Incredible that you are so misinformed. All of Southeast Asia is fighting an increasingly hot war of with China over control of their national territories in the South China Sea, Western Philippine Sea, and India for starters.

@Bluerealm @SFakamoto @GissiSim @Max_Sarcasium1 A classic knee-jerk argument that pushes rational people away. Have a good day.

@delteded @SFakamoto @GissiSim @Max_Sarcasium1 Because you can’t refute it. Me - 1 You - 0

@xEricBucknerx @SFakamoto @GissiSim @Max_Sarcasium1 @grok As for US soldiers, I assume you’re referring to casualties via proxies. That’s a complex issue, and it takes us straight into the Israeli question, which could fill volumes. We could be here all day talking about that.

@xEricBucknerx @SFakamoto @GissiSim @Max_Sarcasium1 @grok On the nuclear issue, you have to go back to the JCPOA. The IAEA oversight was extensive, with no major compliance issues attributed to Iran. Trump withdrew from the deal; in my view, that’s the key turning point behind today’s situation. 2/2

@PerfideAlbion If there’s any upside, it’s that they’ll implode at a pace “like never seen before.”

How many hours a day do you have to spend on MAGA twitter to believe something like this

@Bluerealm @SFakamoto @GissiSim @Max_Sarcasium1 “and are just plain evil” Honestly, I’m not interested in engaging with this kind of argument. Have a good day.

@delteded @SFakamoto @GissiSim @Max_Sarcasium1 China has been attacking The US for 30 years, via ‘indirect warfare’ Fentanyl, biolabs, spy balloons, etc They also use predatory lending to obtain ports, in poor countries. They disappear their dissidents, steal our tech, cannot safely operate vehicles, and are just plain evil.

@HMAndreson @Glenn_Diesen If they wanted to go back to the Stone Age, they wouldn’t be building universities, or they’d be destroying them, don’t you think? You’re overlooking literacy rates, the number of engineers, etc. It’s a strange argument… Are you actually okay with destroying a civilization?

@Glenn_Diesen @delteded This is specious. That was not “the initial justification”. Besides, isn’t the twelver political philosophy basically Stone Age?

Trump: "We're gonna bring them back to the stone ages, where they belong". Keep in mind that an initial justification for the war was to "help" Iranians.

@xEricBucknerx @SFakamoto @GissiSim @Max_Sarcasium1 @grok Alright, if it took you twenty minutes, I respect the effort. If you want to debate, keep in mind I have far fewer characters than you. Pick one point and we can discuss it.

@delteded @SFakamoto @GissiSim @Max_Sarcasium1 @grok What a tool, it took me 20 mins to write that it’s full of grammatical mistakes that I commonly make but yes use it as an off ramp because you HAVE NO ARGUMENT, thank you I rest my case KO

@Devil_Red_1878 @SFakamoto @GissiSim @Max_Sarcasium1 In my view, if the US truly embraced “America First” by focusing on improving the country and living standards, it would become so prosperous and stable that it would stop looking outward with that mix of unhealthy ambition and irrational fear. It’s what these times call for.

@delteded @SFakamoto @GissiSim @Max_Sarcasium1 I was looking at China’s new Atlas drone swarm system, it’s absolutely frightening, it can complete the whole kill chain independently from detection to kill. They are extremely capable but choose to stay neutral

@xEricBucknerx @SFakamoto @GissiSim @Max_Sarcasium1 @grok You’re making this hard to watch. No point pulling a donkey out of the bushes if it just goes straight back. Bye

@delteded @SFakamoto @GissiSim @Max_Sarcasium1 @grok Let me fix that for you, what you meant to say is “what you said is largely factually correct Eric and I’m not intelligent enough to create a factually based rebuttal for!” Whatever dude stay in a bubble lmao, I’m out 😂🤣

@xEricBucknerx @SFakamoto @GissiSim @Max_Sarcasium1 @grok I’m not going to package every point into a neatly trimmed reply just to unpack or contextualize each claim an LLM put together for you. Let it be. Reality will put things where your president is taking them. Good luck, you’ll need it.

@delteded @SFakamoto @GissiSim @Max_Sarcasium1 @grok Really that’s the only thing you’re going to respond to?

@financialjuice Didn’t you say you were leaving? Door’s on your way out.

US Ambassador to NATO Whitaker: NATO allies must step up

@elespanolcom Spoiler: marearán la perdiz hasta que Trump se retire, y luego, posiblemente de manera individual, pactarán con Irán. Eso si no ocurre lo peor, que Trump y Bibi intenten “enviarlos a la edad de piedra”. Ahí entramos en escenario literalmente bíblico.

🔴 #URGENTE | Reino Unido, Francia, Alemania y otros 32 países se reunirán para decidir cómo reabrir Ormuz: España, ausente dozz.es/60ged2

@xEricBucknerx @SFakamoto @GissiSim @Max_Sarcasium1 @grok You’re locked into a paranoid, supremacist narrative. The EU doesn’t officially recognize Taiwan. Its position, like the UN’s, is “One China.” Are you knowingly misrepresenting this, or just repeating what you’ve heard? I don’t have the space here to unpack your wall of text.

What a naive point of view, china hasn’t been to war in decades so there far more trust worthy then the us is the point your trying to make without realizing the true way china wages war is economically…there plans to take Taiwan (a sovereign country recognized by Europe) would give them control over 90% of the worlds chips allowing them to dictate trade terms with every nation strong arming the deals by threatening to restrict the chips that everyone needs…meanwhile they have territorial disputes with 8 different countries…and finally china is the most censored country in the world and after the Tiananmen Square massacre which killed 10,000 people (according to declassified UK document) all innocent civilians Meanwhile your mad at America for going to war with Iran for building nuclear weapons? Iran also kills tens of thousands of its own people, censors them terribly, attacks other countries arbitrarily through proxy countries but none it that matters The bottom line is Iran was making ballistic missiles at a rate where they would be impossible to stop from making a nuclear missile by 2028 they would have been mass producing ballistic missiles in that time and would have produced over 10,000 of them according..then they would make nuclear warheads and if someone did something they didn’t like they would hand a nuclear warhead over to a proxy group to nuke that country, but even if we only invaded them because they are responsible for the death of over 1,000 American soldiers that also would be justifiable cause for war just so you know So yea go run to your new best friend in china who will find a way to have a leverage over so you make a one sided economic deal with them…America is one of the most self sufficient countries on earth and we honestly could care less

@Acyn You could liken the US to someone making the worst mistake of their life without realizing it, while those who know them well try to warn them.

Trump: The whole world is watching and they just can't believe what they're seeing.
