@robben4life @AFpost Hmm, the U.S. spends about $10B a year supporting ~100k troops in Europe—something Trump already questioned. Why should America fund EU security? It’s like living rent-free and still asking if you should depend on the landlord.
English
@AFpost This raises a bigger question: should Europe rely less on the US for defense at this point?
English
Quick question. What stops Iran from developing nuclear weapons now?
English
@Dovydas44444 @TTaylor111111 Europe already pays ~$7.5/gal vs U.S ~$3.9. Same $2 jump isn’t equal: $1→$2 = 100%, but $5→$7 = 40%. Higher baseline = smaller % change. You people are funny.

We have all heard the story: “strategic calculation” in the 🇮🇷Iran war on the part of 🇺🇸US in being “bullet-proof” with its own oil supply - and 🇪🇺Europe being the biggest expected “loser” by reason of its dependence on imported crude.
The reality of diesel prices at the pump since the start of the war:
🇺🇸US: +41.2%
🇩🇪Germany: +30.9%
🇫🇷France: +27.8%
🇬🇧UK: +18%
🇮🇹Italy: +14.9%

We are about to witness the biggest massacre of U.S. troops in American history.

JUST IN: US reportedly planning ground invasion of up to 2 months into Iran

@caseyjdonaldson @CarlZha China relies on U.S chips for advanced weapons. Japan, the Philippines, South Korea, and Taiwan are aligned with the U.S. In WWII, China struggled against little Japan. China just removed their top General...etc China is a paper tiger.
English
@izzy2live @CarlZha I appreciate your American enthusiasm, but at this point it’s a delusion. Germany ran out of oil at the end of WWII and the US can’t even make a weapon without China. Good luck to you.
English
After WW2, US made up nearly 50% of thw world's manufacturing output.
China just topped that. Let that sink in.
If US thinks fight against China will be a replay of Pacific War, then US today would be Imperial Japan in 1941, China would the US at the end of WW2.
English
@caseyjdonaldson @CarlZha U.S imports from China are at their lowest since 2006. The U.S is the world’s largest producer of military equipment. In WWII, America won on scale despite Germany’s tech. Today, the U.S. has both—the best gear and the largest stockpile
English
@izzy2live @CarlZha Manufacturing doesn’t define power? The US won WWII through supply chains. The US defense base relies on Chinese manufacturing and raw materials.
English
@Geopoli_tikus @noopzer0 @caseyjdonaldson @CarlZha Lol, sure. The number 6 most valuable company is 🇸🇦 Aramco... founded by an American oil. TSMC was founded by U.S citizen after spending 25 years at Texas Instruments.
English
@izzy2live @noopzer0 @caseyjdonaldson @CarlZha U are watching a trainwreck in slow motion. US is insolvent, both monetarily and in terms of trust. Theres no way to hide the facts.

@noopzer0 @caseyjdonaldson @CarlZha Open source isn’t the problem. Linux is free for 30+ years, yet Microsoft Windows and Apple iOS dominate. Nike makes shoes in Vietnam, China, anywhere—people buy the brand. It’s recognition, ecosystem, trust.
English
@izzy2live @caseyjdonaldson @CarlZha The problem with the services you mentioned is that they are rent-seeking by nature and the value is extremely inflated to gain more profit margin. However, if China's pushing for open-source services like AI rn, then it's almost impossible for you to capitalize on it.
English
@caseyjdonaldson @CarlZha China (total exports)
Goods: ~$3.5T
Services: ~$0.35–0.4T
Total: ~$3.85–3.9 T
U.S (total exports)
Goods: ~$2.0T
Services: ~$1.0–1.1T
Total: ~$3.0–3.1 T
The world runs on U.S cloud, software, and finance. It’s not 1945: manufacturing alone doesn’t define economic power
English
@izzy2live @CarlZha 1) output ≠ jobs
2) Fair…for now.
3) China is already way ahead in manufacturing with robots and AI. Plants run 24/7 in the dark with no humans.
English
@caseyjdonaldson @CarlZha 1) U.S. manufacturing output remains at or near all-time record high.
2) The U.S is a dominant leader in high-tech manufacturing like jet engine, medical diagnostic equipment, etc.
3) Robotics and AI are revolutionizing manufacturing.
English
@CarlZha The US demanded payment in dollars when it was the manufacturer of the world.
Now China is the manufacturer of the world, what do you think they will want to be paid in?

@OShitMedia @DrEliDavid Like all Middle Eastern countries, they face major freshwater shortages, import ~30% of their food, etc. War limits oil exports, already sold at discounts. If Kharg Island is taken, exports drop further. Using drones risks damaging their own infrastructure
English
@izzy2live @DrEliDavid Iran is one of the few countries who self reliant we have and sanctions on them for 50 years. They also have been still selling oil to Japan, China, Taiwan, India, Pakistan
English
🚨 Breaking – The regime's president Pezeshkian to IRGC Commander Ahmad Vahidi: “If a ceasefire is not established, Iran's economy with completely collapse within 3 weeks.”
Source: Iran International
English
@OShitMedia @DrEliDavid Yes, but Iran’s economy was already struggling, with oil making up most of its income. It’s not unreasonable to think that if exports were disrupted, the pressure could build fast and the economy could start collapsing within weeks.
English
@DrEliDavid This is a lie and Iran internationally is literally a Zionist European company stop it 😂😂😂

For men, the minimum age to consider is half your age plus seven years. A 46 year old should be looking at 30 years old at the lowest.
That said. I saw some research recently that showed at the higher income/ wealth distribution, wives tended to be 1-2 years younger. So read into that what you will.

@gcrespector @DanLamothe Maybe they need to deal with Iran first. Test whether Chinese air defenses in Iran actually work. Focus on Iran, Venezuela, Cuba—and a weakened Russia before shifting attention elsewhere.

SCOOP: The U.S. military has fired more than 850 Tomahawk cruise missiles in four weeks of war with Iran, burning through the precision weapons at a rate that has alarmed some Pentagon officials and prompted internal discussions about how to make more available.
