@zhusu Btw look at mah radishes! Broadcasted and covered in straw, the Fukuoka way

@awstar11 They have a decentralised organization, the leadership is not so important.

Yup, they’ve got us on the ropes

@Itsahoax123 @AvidCommentator Who in the fuck did we have to vote for in Australia to prevent Trump n Bibi striking Iran?

@AvidCommentator $2k last week. $3k this week, thanks to your voting choice.

@InternLon @Meiafox @SebastianMEP You have asked me to provide points that support my argument. I can't help but notice you've provided no such thing yourself, no logic of any kind, only assertions of irrationality based on what I have to assume is your gut feeling.

@AsylumSeaker @Meiafox @SebastianMEP You are wrong. We’ve had people with your thought process running negotiations with Iran for 30 years and it nearly led to them having a nuke and using it.

When it comes to defending the West, Europe talks and the US acts. The reality is uncomfortable but obvious: without the United States, Europe’s “security policy” would collapse overnight. These useful idiots don’t realise that this is exactly Europe’s war as it directly affects European security. We already suffer from regime-sponsored terrorist networks inside Europe – without even mentioning the military alliance between Russia and Iran. And Europe’s response? Shrug and hope America handles it. Europe’s spineless leaders keep lecturing Washington about restraint while relying on American power to keep global trade routes open. Trump is 100% right to demand more from allies. If Europe wants to be taken seriously as a geopolitical power, it has to start acting like one.

@ziggynorry @hippyygoat For as long as I can remember, it has been understood that the USA cannot directly invade a country like Russia or China. Not least because these are nuclear-armed countries, but also because of air defense saturation. F-35 was not designed with invading those countries in mind.

@AsylumSeaker @hippyygoat People will be hyperbolic, but the Iran war has shown to Russia and China that any aggressive war against them can be defeated. The US is still very powerful, but the global hyper dominance of 90s and early 00s think tanks is a thing of the past.

The world now realises that America is not the superpower that it makes out to be.

@InternLon @Meiafox @SebastianMEP If they are not rational then they will nuke Tel Aviv and Israel or the USA will nuke Tehran. I do not think it is likely, I think the IRCG want to keep collecting their state salaries and the regime wants to keep living in comfort.

@AsylumSeaker @Meiafox @SebastianMEP They arent rational

@InternLon @Meiafox @SebastianMEP It's not rational to use a nuclear weapon when there are nuclear weapons pointed at you. Take the bombings of Nagasaki and Hiroshima for example. These were rational acts of terrorism using nuclear weapons, but only because Japan had no way to respond in kind.

@AsylumSeaker @Meiafox @SebastianMEP So terrorism is rational but using a nuclear ballistic missile is not rational? So you expect Iran to continue to behead infidels while keeping its nuclear ballistic missiles as defensive deterrent

@InternLon @Meiafox @SebastianMEP Terrorism is rational, it's a valid and well established means of fighting an asymmetric conflict. Israel for example was established through terrorism, it is well documented and an ongoing inspiration to the entire region. It's immoral, abhorrent, inhumane, but not irrational.

@AsylumSeaker @Meiafox @SebastianMEP Again, you are assuming the irgc is rational, just like you. Why would a rational government fund terrorists like hamas and hazbollah? Why have they repeatedly stated their goal is to eliminate Israel militarily? Can you posit that in theory it is possible they aren’t…

It's the simple logic of nuclear deterrence as understood for 75 years. The IRCG saw Gaddafi give up nuclear weapons, now he is dead. They saw Kim Jong Un build nuclear weapons, his dynasty still rules NK. They saw Ukraine gave up its nuclear weapons, they got invaded. They saw Israel got nuclear weapons and as a result can do what it wants.

@AsylumSeaker @Meiafox @SebastianMEP Post any, even a single thing, that supports this. Otherwise, you’re making my point.

@InternLon @Meiafox @SebastianMEP Even the IRGC does not want Tehran to get nuked, which is what would happen if it used a nuclear weapon against anybody. They know this, they just want a nuclear weapon for second strike capability to ensure that the Israelis won't ever nuke them.

@AsylumSeaker @Meiafox @SebastianMEP You are assuming that the irgc is just like you. They aren’t. This is the fatal flaw in all negotiations so far. It’s why Obamas billions in a pallet of cash didn’t make any difference. Not everyone is like you.

@SphereNX @RWApodcast The signature is called "heat", it isn't a secret.

@AsylumSeaker @RWApodcast Once it get spotted it’s over. The signature is compromised. Enjoy the billions in tax payer dollars needed to make that happen.

"Sorry, we didn't know it was invisible" etc

@Alex_Oloyede2 There are 1300 F-35s in existence. SU-57, how many are there?

For years they touted the F-35 as an invincible weapon against Russian/Chinese AD radars. Iran has not just only detected but managed to track the US jet before striking it. The F-35 destroyed or not, this is a terrible PR campaign for the US.

@zhao_dashuai Perfect radar reflectors have right angles, which those bumps do not have.

No wonder why Iranian air defense was able to detect, track, lock-on and damage the F-35. Just look at the bumpy underbelly of the F-35, those little bumps are perfect radar reflectors. The F-35 being bloated (fat), also causes issues with cooling, making them more detectable by infrared sensors.

@aleksbrz11 You could park it in Vladivostok and hit the Baltics with it, why do you need to move it to the border you fucking idiots🤣

🚨BREAKING The Russian army is reportedly deploying RS-24 Yars intercontinental ballistic missiles to the Baltic border. The RS-24 Yars intercontinental ballistic missile has a range of 11,000 km and possesses explosive power equivalent to one million tons of TNT. It's always good to remind the Baltic rats that their lives depend on the push of a button.🇷🇺🚀🔥

@SkyNewsAust Really good to see Pauline shooting herself in the foot like this

Pauline Hanson calls for Australia to help Donald Trump “stamp out evil” by entering the conflict with Iran, just days after the President accused America's allies of refusing to provide assistance. skynews.com.au/australia-news…

@TheoryPhd @TONYxTWO You gunna withdraw provision of *checks notes* 1 billion a year? Who will notice?

@TONYxTWO Maybe we should close all of our European bases and facilities, withdraw all funding, and let them go it alone from now on.

“Trump just ran the most brutal loyalty test in NATO history and every single ally failed it.” One of many reasons to leave NATO!

@BurtRock69 @RealFoodRina This amounts to a discernment of the right of other things to live based on the human experience. I for one don't think it's a coincidence that humans consistently place ourselves at the top of the empathy pyramid, I think it is because human empathy evolved to serve humans.

@AsylumSeaker @RealFoodRina I’m not evaluating rights. I’m evaluating experience. I don’t want to cause pain and suffering, unnecessarily.

What are vegans going to do when they find out plants have consciousness

@reportingLibya @andreas_krieg Hitler was slightly smarter than Trump, and did not have nukes.

@andreas_krieg Er....1939? History is a very long time.

Never in history have people less qualified had more destructive power

@TristinHopper Yeah they'll probably save us from one that a US space mining company accidentally put on a collison course with Earth, and then wonder why we don't celebrate them fixing their fuckup. The Iranian regime is a consequence of US meddling, just like that hypothetical asteroid.

One of these days the United States is going to save us all from a planet-destroying asteroid and it won't even buy them five minutes of gratitude from the world community.
