@OxideTwinjet @tleilax___ Paid through CIPS, the Chinese are hardly going to be publicising the users.

@tleilax___ Unless the fees are paid in cash, there's a digital footprint which is ammunition for the future.

So far we've had Chinese, Iranian, but also Indian, European owned ships transit Hormuz under the new reality. Even GCC linked ships. Basically everybody seems to be able to transit except US and Israeli linked flows. For a fee, of course. As I said before, this is the actual bearish development.

@SonOfAristotle @AimbotAimy We see exactly what the police saw, which is why there's no case happening against Ritchson. This is entirely down to the asshole neighbor.

@AimbotAimy You're a mental retard who can't watch a video and see what it shows.

Turns out I was right! The neighbor deliberately kept stepping in front of the bike, trying to spin it, as Alan attempted to run him over, as he clearly asked him multiple times to move. Not only that, the neighbor stopped in front of the bike as he rode down the road deliberately causing an accident. The neighbor is a fucking moron every ass beating he got was deserved for this fucking tomfoolery.

@jradswartz @RetroCoast They have you by the balls. It's not some demented ayatollahs on TV talking shit about negotiations, victory and fifteen point plans.

@RetroCoast The message is gonna be the same message. Regardless Iran should grow up. And realize it's not in control here.

Breaking: Iran refuses to negotiate further with Jared Kushner and Steve Witkoff Says Trump must send new emissaries WTF were these two clowns doing negotiating with Iran in the first place?

@Mojgan_00 @StateDept @POTUS Don't be ridiculous. Pahlavi is just another outsider chancing his arm, and trump is already running scared. The regime, shitheads though they may be, have won.

@StateDept Victory is when the regime falls and Pahlavi returns to Iran to lead the transition toward a free and democratic future. @POTUS .@StateDept Please finish the job! 🇺🇸🙏🏼

PRESIDENT TRUMP: The war in Iran has been won. The only one that likes to keep it going is the fake news.

@Farshidi0m @StateDept And if my auntie had bollocks she'd be my uncle.

The people of Iran are fully ready to overthrow the Islamic Republic today. Repressive forces are threatening civilians with military-grade weapons in the streets and are prepared to kill protesters. If the US and Israeli forces eliminate these repressive units, the Iranian people will bravely take to the streets and seize the cities.

@StateDept Bullshit only takes you so far. When the fighting begins you either have what it takes or it becomes painfully obvious that your mouth got you into more trouble than you can handle. And we all know which one this is.

@CwBigs @DanielLDavis1 @ShaykhSulaiman Unlikely.

@DanielLDavis1 @ShaykhSulaiman Would Iran even accept this?

These are a very interesting set of terms. They do not correspond well to the defiant terms President Trump declared on February 28 when he announced the start of this war: “We're going to destroy their missiles and raze their missile industry to the ground. It will be totally again obliterated. We're going to annihilate their navy. We're going to ensure that the region's terrorist proxies can no longer destabilize the region or the world and attack our forces…” In these 15 points, there is no mention of missile capacity until some “future time,”, no mention of their navy – most of which remains underground and still fully intact – and no discussion of the 400 kg of reprocessed material. There is also no mention of control of the Strait of Hormuz. Most of these terms Trump could’ve gotten on February 26, when Steve Witkoff and Jared Kushner met with the Uranian delegation under the auspices of the Oman Foreign ministry. The cost for this poor decision to choose war, thus far, is 13 dead Americans, 241 wounded Americans, $200 billion in supplementals, the damage or destruction of 17 US military bases or sites in the Middle East, and the Gerald R Ford limping into port, where it will be tied up for over a year in repairs. Our allies have been severely harmed, especially Qatar and the UAE. It is far from certain Iran will accept these terms, but it will not be lost on anyone that Trump rejected the deal on a golden platter before the war started, which could have saved everyone’s life and facilities. This will unequivocally be viewed as a strategic loss to the United States. That being said, I am 100% in agreement with reaching a settlement on any terms we can get at this point, to limit the damage. Should we also reject this diplomatic opportunity and launch any sort of ground operation with the US Marines and 82nd airborne division troops assembling in the region, the cost to the United States will be incalculable.

@ShaykhSulaiman American treaties are worthless given how trump has broken so many. There's no reason to believe he'll honor anything that is signed.

BREAKING: U.S PROPOSE 15 POINT PLAN TO IRAN TO END THE WAR 1. Removal of all sanctions on Iran. 2. US assistance in advancing and developing a civilian nuclear project (electricity generation). 3. Removal of the threat of sanctions being reimposed. 4. Iran’s nuclear programme is frozen under a defined framework. 5. Enriched uranium to remain, but under supervision and agreed limits. 6. Missile programme to be addressed at a later stage, with limits on quantity and range. 7. Use of nuclear programmes restricted to civilian/defensive purposes only. 8. Development of existing nuclear capabilities halted. 9. No further expansion of enrichment capabilities. 10. No production of weapons-grade nuclear material on Iranian soil. 11. All enriched material to be handed over to the IAEA within an agreed timeline. 12. Natanz, Isfahan and Fordow to be taken out of use (destroyed). 13. International monitoring and verification mechanisms enforced. 14. Gradual implementation tied to compliance. 15.Additional regional and security understandings between the parties.

@ShaykhSulaiman So, the JCPOA. Again.

@screenrant Hardly a surprise.

#AlanRitchson will not be facing criminal charges after getting into an altercation with his neighbor.

@wolfofshelby @RobertJMolnar Land on all the islands you like, but be prepared to watch those men die every day. There's no cover, no support and no point.

@RobertJMolnar you dont think any troops are going to enter iran at all? i doubt US goes into mainland but would not be surprised if we some sort of mobilization on some islands within the strait which will then be used in future offensive movements

" This is a massive elite force, and in a few days, they will reach the Middle East" you people are absurd 10k troops are not invading Iran you fucking muppet It took hundreds of thousands of troops to invade Iraq, and Iraq is all flat land desert, Iran is bigger, and all mountain terrain. We have zero armor, zero logistical support, and no way in because Iraq is not going to allow us to stage tens of thousands of troops and equipment to do a land invasion of Iran The Iranian coast along the straits is all cliffs....stop watching movies you muppet

@JewishWarrior13 Ten thousand troops is not only, not remotely massive, it isn't anything close to being enough to mount any kind of land assault on Iran. There's no amount of "elite" that makes up for having a hundred thousand troops too few for the job.

⭕️Folks, I don't know about the talks with Iran, but what I do know is the reality on the ground: 4,500 Marines (2 MEUs), 3,000 paratroopers from the All-American 82nd Airborne Division, the 75th Ranger Battalion, the 160th SOAR, Delta Force, and more. This is a massive elite force, and in a few days, they will reach the Middle East. If Iran thought it was bad until now, they are about to discover the real might of the US military. God bless the United States and our armed forces. 🫡🇺🇸

@BasedMikeLee Except that it has been researched hundreds of times at federal, state and local level and it has been found by every researcher to be an incredibly small issue, to the point of irrelevance. Keep pretending though, it keeps the maga rubes angry and uninformed.

How do you react when a Senate Democrat says that noncitizen voting in the U.S. is “very, very, very, very, very, very, very rare”? My reaction in a nutshell: They have NO IDEA how common or rare it is because the status quo makes knowing that impossible

@FionnJohnOC @48_Crash @Bankersbonus1 Everyone I ever knew who worked offshore preferred working in the Norwegian sector. Money and conditions were better all round. And those conditions were universally monitored & enforced. I the UK side conditions between Shell and Chevron could be very different.

@NeilChecking @48_Crash @Bankersbonus1 A lot of Norway's new field development has been in less well mapped and less easily drilled terrain, but I think we agree that the taxes alone aren't to blame for low exploration activity, it's primarily the political environment. I'd rather be on the Norwegian side of the EEZ.

Great caller on LBC from the Shetland islands explaining the madness of net zero: they have 50 wind turbines but they are not on and no way of storage..they have highest energy prices in the uk but massive untapped oil fields off the coast

@Vertzy24 @MrGlobal2025 Not "us" a company selling a product for money. It doesn't necessarily help you or millions like.

@MrGlobal2025 Oh us selling a product for money does nothing. TDS is so wild

American oil from American soil? Don’t you mean LNG headed to Europe? This benefits the U.S. consumer exactly zero.

@IuliiaMendel Yeah, they'd happily sit back and be slaughtered or enslaved. You should lay off the acid before you post on twitter.

Not a single European country that currently backs Zelenskyy's war plan would ever continue a war like this under such conditions. Neither their people nor their leaders would permit it. Faced with a choice between life and some phantom notion of justice, every European would choose life.

@tedcruz I wouldn't trust you, there's no reason for an investigator looking at your alleged wrongdoing to trust you.

Jack Smith went to court and said that I’d destroy evidence if I knew about his subpoena. Judge Boasberg signed off on the order. I’m a member of the bar, I take my obligation seriously — there’s no basis for that.

@RafHM @RepublicanSons You didn't say that though.

@RepublicanSons Good lord. The amount of ignorance in the comments is staggering. The Union of the Crowns is not contentious. They were separate crowns united in one person. 🤦

Today (24 March) is the anniv. of the Union of the Scottish & English Crowns in 1603, when James VI of Scotland also became King James I of England (France and Ireland) Never forget: Scotland wasn't colonised by England (as the SNP claim) It was a Scottish king who united the Crowns in 1603 and it was Scotland that first called for a union with England (1690s), resulting in the Act of Union in 1707, which created Great Britain and a single parliament. 🏴󠁧󠁢󠁥󠁮󠁧󠁿🏴󠁧󠁢󠁳󠁣󠁴󠁿

@RafHM @SymbolStones You said "the SNP." Moving the goalposts just makes you look cowardly and stupid. The rest of your post is facile and skimpy on the details that matter. Throwing out your membership of a society is a desperate reach.

1. SNPers & Scot Nats frequently make this claim, and have written articles etc. saying so 2. I never said the Crowns became one in 1603. The Union of the Crowns refers to the crowns being united under one person. It's a well-established term. 3. I merely said the Scots were the first to call for union (1689 & 1690s). I made no comment about the later politics behind the union. You have read far too much into my post and interpreted those basic facts in a way that was not intended. PS: I'm a former Council member of the Royal Stuart Society, to which I've belonged for 30+ years. I do know something about this subject.

@SchnurreZueri @hell_line0 Doubt that, given that they are basically imaginary. How do the few side effects compare to dying of cancer?

@hell_line0 My guess is they have seen the patients coming in with the side effects of that vaccine.

I just saw a TikTok someone asking about the HPV vaccine & a bunch of nurses in comments saying “as a nurse never “ As a nurse practitioner & nurse for 20 years let me tell you nursing school gives very little training on the actual science of vaccines & using your title to encourage people to be antivax is irresponsible & misleading.
