@casenorthdakota @scottmelker France (largest Muslim population in Western Europe, ~8–10% of total population): Muslims are estimated at 15–20% of the armed forces per Grok. Thus are they going to join an Israeli/US war against Iran No do UK, Germany etc Asymmetrical warfare taking no new meaning.

@scottmelker Your moving your way up to the top of my coward list. Enough fudd and fear mongering.

And you wonder why US allies are hesitant to join the war?

@sentdefender Now put a range ring on a map of Iran to Europe, might be a message 🤔

Update:

According to the Wall Street Journal, citing multiple U.S. officials, Iran has targeted the joint U.S.-UK base at Diego Garcia in the Indian Ocean with two intermediate-range ballistic missiles (IRBM). According to the report, one missile failed in flight whilst the other was engaged by a U.S. destroyer utilizing an SM-3 interceptor, but a successful interception was not confirmed. None of the missiles hit the base. This is notable as Iranian long-range precision fires have not previously been publicly assessed as having the range to hit such a target as Diego Garcia, as the base is some 4,000 kilometers from Iran proper.

@PyramidSongGirl Cost $15M in Colorado

im sorry but there is literally no way this costs $114 million dollars, even $2 million is stretching it, its a small concrete bridge with dirt on top

@radigancarter Excellent. Prescient as Trump seems on the verge of calling it Won. The Marines are still enroute but its trek through Hormuz to Kharg🤔 Appreciate you 🍻

@CNviolations People love to talk about the 1A, but from the comments most people actually favor censorship. Yeah the auditor is not the most congenial but Church worker “I will take you down,” very Christian like. The 1A doesn’t just apply when convenient to your sensibilities.

"I will take you down" 👁️👁️

@EnriqueMAlfaro @theficouple @grok

@theficouple What happens if you bought it used 3 years old? @grok

When you bought the $50,000 Tesla Model Y to save on gas & maintenance. Then you learned: - It loses 20-35% of its value by year 3 - It loses 55-58% of its value by year 5 So by year 5 you lost $35,000+ of value? ....Congrats on saving ~$1,000/yr on gas.

@theficouple Buy it used.

@_The_Prophet__ As I said Technocratic feudalism dressed up as democratic capitalism.

⚡️Poverty is a power, access, and distribution problem. That is the real signal. A society can easily produce enough to eliminate a huge amount of material deprivation and still choose not to do it. It can choose scarcity by design. It can ration housing, healthcare, education, credit, legal protection, food quality, and time. It can allow abundance at the top and precarity at the bottom because precarity is useful. It disciplines labor. It lowers bargaining power. It keeps people obedient, anxious, and available. It turns survival into leverage. So yes, a lot of poverty persists because the system tolerates it, benefits from it, and in some layers actively requires it. The simplistic version says “they want people to be poor.” That is emotionally true in effect, but structurally too simplistic in motive. Most elites do not wake up thinking “I want poverty.” They wake up wanting cheap labor, compliant workers, asset appreciation, low taxes, protected incumbency, controllable politics, and a population that cannot bargain too hard. Poverty is the downstream condition produced by those priorities. Misery is often an externality of elite preference, not always the stated goal. But once the system is built that way, the distinction starts to matter less. If your preferred order requires a permanent layer of insecurity, then you are functionally choosing poverty whether or not you say the words out loud. The money-printing part confuses token distribution with real resource organization. You cannot print more housing units, doctors, energy, or land by typing numbers into an account. If you spray money into a supply-constrained system, you can just bid up prices and create inflationary distortion. That part matters. But it is also true that rich states already create enormous financial claims when they want to save banks, support war, stabilize asset prices, subsidize favored industries, or backstop political priorities. So the deeper hypocrisy is real. The state suddenly becomes very imaginative around money when elite stability is at risk, and very moralistic around money when the lower classes need relief. That is why people sense a lie in the official story. The lie is not that money can magically solve every form of poverty. The lie is that society is helpless. It is not helpless. It is selective. It has capacity, but it allocates that capacity according to hierarchy, ownership, and political usefulness.

@SheldonStack It's a fair point. Plus X seems to be on your side, as they masked my image not yours! Xxx

@ggreenwald Anybody ask the Iranians if they’re done?

This sounds like a very, very, very far distance from "unconditional surrender," but if Trump wants to declare victory and pretend that something important was accomplished so that he can pull out, the sooner the better. Let him throw a parade for himself if that will help.

@nickshirleyy @nypost I am absolutely NOT implying that a Governor on a $200K salary making a cash purchase 7% over asking for $9.1M is in anyway suspicious. sfstandard.com/2024/11/15/gav…

@nypost Why would a governor attack the man exposing the fraud? Wouldn’t it be of his benefit to support exposing fraud? Weird right…

@Jethroe111 In a nutshell🥜

I've lived this. Let me tell you where this is going. When I was flying F-18's around the Gulf decades ago, the Strait of Hormuz was first and foremost in planning sessions from Washington to my ready room. And here is what we knew. It could not be secured then. Not truly secured. 100% secured. And that was the key. Today that is more true than ever. The nature of war changed forever in 2022 when Russia invaded Ukraine and got its ass kicked in the first 2 months. Drones and cheap missiles revolutionized warfare, and gave small nations an assymetry in power projection they had never possessed. What should get everyone's attention is the Iranian attack on Lars Raffan, the world's largest LNG processing facility. After 3 weeks of complete air superiority and saturated bombing that "ran out of targets" Iran managed to launch 5 ballistic missiles at that field. The Shahed 131 and 136 drones cost between $10-50k and can be transported in small pieces in a pickup, assembled onsite in hours and launched. Most intercepts on our side cost $4M for the Patriot and up to $12M for the THAAD. And here is something that should get your attention. We will not be able to rebuild our inventories without China's cooperation. Full stop. They have us by the balls due to one thing: Rare Earth minerals, magnets, and most importantly, the refining needed to process them. If this conflict continues things are going to break in the system. Severely break.
