@thebeltwayboy @cloudofposting Yea and collapsed by the 90s.
English
@cloudofposting I feel like Iran could have become communist in the 50s
English
There was probably a point in history around the 60s-80s where Syria, Iraq and Lebanon becoming communist could’ve tangibly happened but instead we live in the chud timeline now

@noflexz84758940 @ripplebrain Seems like they can do significant amounts of damage
Thomas Keith@iwasnevrhere_
Footage from the impact site showing the destruction caused by a single Iranian ballistic missile strike, with the structure above a reinforced shelter collapsed and debris spread across the surrounding area.
English
@ripplebrain Good point. I am surprised that the Iranians aren't launching more single warhead missiles though. Maybe later? I understand the logic of shrapnel warhead but it's a stark difference from the previous war. The impacts, at least the ones not censored, seem rather unimpressive
English
Keep this example in mind before taking reports of impacts and interceptions sourced solely from the IDF and Hebrew Telegram at face value
Arya Yadeghaar@AryJeay
Interestingly, we did not get any clear footage of this particular impact in Haifa. If it weren’t for this livestream feed, we wouldn’t even have known about the impact. The only footage the Zionists shared was a empty booster fall.
English
@ripplebrain I think all the other vids can be explained by an AI upscaler

I've worn my share of sleeves and I'm pretty sure this is how they work sometimes

Another Ai giveaway. That’s not how sleeves work.

Anyone arguing that minor damage to a US aircraft, sustained while lollygagging over hostile airspace is an epoch altering event is arguing the US military is so strong that the mere damaging of one of its weapons is a great feat.

>In the coming days, we may unsanction the Iranian oil that's on the water
Just Bomb Everyone Theory vindicated
Rapid Response 47@RapidResponse47
.@SecScottBessent: In the coming days, we may unsanction the Iranian oil that's on the water. It's about 140 million barrels, so depending how you count it, that's 10 days to 2 weeks of supply, that the Iranians had been pushing out, that would have all gone to China. In essence, we'd be using the Iranian barrels against the Iranians to keep the price down for the next 10 or 14 days, as we continue this campaign. So, we have lots of levers.

@BaryonyxSpace @buckadeath_ The same reports that said a laundry fire destroyed the sleeping quarters of like 600 people in the Ford?

@ParacelsusII Still disappointed. Obviously stealth is its main thing and that just got shattered but would like to have seen them send two missiles it’s way so that it crashed in Iran.
English
don't feel too disappointed the plane survived and made an emergency landing and so on
the important thing is that they can detect these "stealth" fighters and they can lock on, if another pilot tries again he might not be as lucky— so bottom line is usaf won't try again
English
it locked on for so long too this is killing me

Almost every prediction Balaji has made has proven wrong. Just because he speaks well doesn’t mean he is right, especially on this war. I have come to believe that people with roots in third-world countries can never side with Israel or the US, even if they are born here. Something seems embedded in their DNA: a hatred of capitalism and patriotism. A free Iran will become the newest party to celebrate freedom, capitalism, and most importantly, patriotism.
English
Balaji is a bright guy but he fled the USA and has set his mind totally against our future success.
He lives in a world where US is losing and China is winning. This is his fixation. It’s dangerous, and it’s wrong. And this war has embarrassed China, destroyed their 100 cargo planes of war materials and their military ally, and frustrates them.
It’s fair to disagree about the attack. But saying that its architects are guilty of any downside is childlike nonsense. They should be proud of their work and their courage to take on this evil.
If you’re against the war, do you get credit for the last two decades of literal mass torture and mass rape and repression by this regime, and its terror funding and death around the region? Do you get credit for “supporting” the billions it spends on social media bots and information operations to polarize the US against ourselves, and weaken the west? Do you also get credit for what would have been the next twenty years of that?
Are you, Balaji, responsible for that side of it? No?
But if you are for it, you get zero credit for fixing any of that, but blamed for ALL the possible downsides? Total BS.
The mullahs holding the region hostage shouldn’t get your help to blame others for the damage they do.
Geopolitics and war is complex and there are risks on all sides. There is risk in acting, and in not acting.
I’m really glad we are taking advantage of the massive innovation and competence gap that exists at this moment, and finally eliminating so much evil.
I hope for freedom for the Iranian people and know that the situation is hard and complex, but either way it is good to stop the bad guys and eliminate so many of the worst groups, who have done so much damage, from history. Nobody should get away with what those bastards did for so long; this was long overdue.
Balaji@balajis
I'm going to make some obvious points. (1) Blowing up all the oil infrastructure in the Middle East is an insane idea, and may well result in a global economic crash and humanitarian crisis unrivaled in the lives of those now living. We're talking about the price of everything everywhere rising, from food to gas, at a moment when inflation was already high. All of that will be laid at the feet of the authors of this war. (2) The antebellum status quo of Feb 27, 2026 was just not that bad, but we're unlikely to return to it. Expect indefinite, long-term, ongoing disruptions to everything out of the Middle East. (3) Also assume tech financing crashes for the indefinite future. The genius plan to get the Gulf states caught in the crossfire has incinerated much of the funding for LPs, for datacenters, and for IPOs. Anyone in tech who supported this war may soon learn the meaning of "force majeure" as funding gets yanked. (4) Many capital allocators will instead be allocating much further down Maslow's hierarchy of needs, towards useful basic things like food and energy. (5) It's fortunate that all those progressives yelled about the "climate crisis." Yes, their reasoning about timelines was wrong, and much of the money was wasted in graft, but the result was right: we all need energy independence from the Middle East, pronto. It's also fortunate that Elon and China autistically took climate seriously. Now they're going to need to ship a billion solar panels, electric vehicles, batteries, nuclear power plants, and the like to get everyone off oil, immediately. (6) It's not just an oil and gas problem, of course. It's also a fertilizer problem, and a chemical precursor problem. Maybe some new sources will come online at the new prices, but it takes time to dial stuff up, particularly at this scale, so shortages are almost a certainty. That said, China has actually scaled up coal-to-chemicals[a,c] (C2C), and there's also something more sci-fi called Power-to-X[b] which turns arbitrary power + water + air into hydrocarbons. But all of that will need to get accelerated. I have a background in chemical engineering so may start funding things in this area. (7) Ultimately, this war is going to result in tremendous blame for anyone associated with it. It's a no-win scenario to blow up this much infrastructure for so many people. Simply not worth it for whatever objective they thought they were going to attain. But unless you're actually in a position to stop the madness, the pragmatic thing to do is: scramble to mitigate the fallout to yourself, your business, and your people.
