@MarioNawfal Easy to be a trick pony. It’s harder to have a global supply chain. Solid Engineering that ensures years of hard use and facilitates that the automobile is also easily serviceable. This video make it seem overly complex, this overly fragile. As there are more to go wrong.

🇨🇳 Chinese car tech is getting harder to dismiss. The West spent decades laughing at Chinese cars. That era is over.

Which Kurds? I spent a lot of time with the Peshmerga, never saw them take much besides relatively simple meals on the frontline, they had to bring their own AKs from home and their own uniforms. It was like being with the Lexington militia in 1775, except AKs and Kurdish clothing. In Syria they sacrificed a lot against ISIS and didn't get almost anything. And the Kurdish opposition groups, these guys usually have almost nothing, almost penniless. This must refer to some other group.

🚨🚨 Trump: The Kurds take, take, take. They fight hard when they get paid. I am very disappointed in the Kurds.

@GalloglasLad2 @MDerscher @VickyRichterUSA Romania, Poland, Greece would be open and willing to take on additional capacity of American forces. 🇵🇱 and 🇷🇴 have offered opportunities for more permanent bases. Romanian is assisting large airbases. So in brief: there are always friends that will step up when others falter.

@GalloglasLad2 @MDerscher @VickyRichterUSA The original poster talked about Germany kicking out USA forces. NATO is not a unifying force that all those nations would join lockstep with 🇩🇪. Let’s say UK 🇬🇧 followed 🇩🇪 . Large-scale operations in Europe become dramatically harder, slower but there would be a pivot…

America’s “Favor” That Powers Its Empire U.S. troops in Germany are not there out of charity—and certainly not to “protect” Germans. They are there because without German soil, American global reach doesn’t function. Ramstein is the largest U.S. air base outside America. Stuttgart hosts EUCOM and AFRICOM—the command centers for operations across Europe and Africa. Landstuhl has been the lifeline for wounded U.S. soldiers from Iraq to Afghanistan. Even drone operations in places like Somalia rely on infrastructure routed through Germany. Remove that, and you don’t weaken Berlin—you blind Washington. Yet somehow the narrative persists: America is doing Germany a favour. That Europe is the dependent, the beneficiary, the so-called “freeloader.” It’s a convenient story. It’s also strategically backwards. Because the reality is simple: those bases are not acts of generosity. They are instruments of power. And they exist in Germany not for Germany’s benefit—but for America’s ability to operate far beyond its own borders. Take them away, and the question isn’t what Germany loses. It’s how much the United States does.

@GalloglasLad2 @MDerscher @VickyRichterUSA The USA has massive sea lift capacity and the ability keep operations up without a European footprint. It’s convenient and is cheaper, but not essential. But that moot point because Poland openly offers the USA places for bases and support for American aircraft,

@BaggerLance @MDerscher @VickyRichterUSA You’re missing the obvious point. The U.S needs those capabilities, even with NATO bases, because you’re bound by two Oceans. Without involvement in U.S military operations, we wouldn’t need that capability. If you leave NATO bases, you don’t have anywhere near enough.🤣

@GalloglasLad2 @MDerscher @VickyRichterUSA What is the availability rate? It’s about 75%, in sustained combat operations and sustainment there would be large defect on airlift availability. That’s just back of napkin math. The airlift capacity would quickly wear thin. While USA has 22 c-17, and 400+ refuelers

@BaggerLance @MDerscher @VickyRichterUSA Without the U.S, why would we need any heavy lift beyond what we already have? The RAF have 8 C-17, Canada have 5 and HAW run three from Hungary. The RAAF have 8 they would undoubtedly loan us if necessary. Then there’s the Antonovs we lease. 🤷🏻‍♂️ nato.int/en/what-we-do/…

@MDerscher @VickyRichterUSA Europe does even have an airlift capacity for large extended ops. They need US airlift capacity. It’s mutually beneficial for American bases in Europe. Power projection, quick reaction , and deterrence. Plus those bases add lots of jobs and money to the local economy

@VickyRichterUSA You have it backwards. Without Ramstein, Europe is blind. They would lose access to our intelligence, surveillance, and reconnaissance resources.

Strange that an individual would be posting this when they are a hedge fund manager of international funds that would directly benefit from headwinds that @Tesla would face. @elonmusk it’s almost like he is trying to push public opinion so that he could financially profit.

Tesla is the most successful CON in the history of capital markets. Not because the cars are bad. But because the entire business is engineered to impress on first glance and collapse under scrutiny. And the culture around it has made facts completely IRRELEVANT. I've never seen a company where the gap between what is promised and what is delivered is this wide, for this long, with this little accountability. Tesla's Full Self-Driving system is marketed as autonomy. But it is not autonomy. It is a camera-only system running probabilistic inference. The car is making statistical guesses about what it sees, thousands of times per second, with no redundancy when those guesses are wrong. Probabilistic inference controlling a two-ton vehicle at highway speed with your family inside. NHTSA has two open investigations covering 3.2 million Tesla vehicles. One was escalated to a formal Engineering Analysis in March after 9 crashes, including a fatality, where the system FAILED to detect sun glare, fog, and dust. The cameras went blind and the car kept driving. In Austin, Tesla's robotaxi fleet has reported 15 crashes across roughly 800,000 miles. One crash every 57,000 miles. The average American driver has a police-reported crash every 500,000 miles. Tesla's robotaxis crash at roughly 4x the human rate, WITH a safety monitor sitting in the car whose only job is to prevent crashes. Waymo operates over 2,500 fully driverless vehicles across multiple cities with no human backup and maintains a crash rate 85% below human drivers across 127 million autonomous miles. Tesla has ONE unsupervised vehicle in a tiny section of Austin. But here's what really makes Tesla different from every overvalued company I've ever analyzed: The facts do not matter to the people who own this stock. Every missed deadline, every broken promise gets filtered through the same response: attack the messenger. Call them a short seller. Call them a hater. Anything to avoid looking at the actual numbers. It's an online ecosystem that has made itself completely immune to facts. And Musk baked that dynamic into the culture from the beginning. Every time the fundamentals deteriorate, the faithful don't sell. They double down. When your shareholder base treats every dip as a buying opportunity regardless of the data, the stock becomes untethered from reality entirely. That's literally a religion with a ticker symbol. I highly suggest you read Edward Niedermeyer's book Ludicrous on this. And now it even gets WORSE... CapeFearAdvisors published a piece this week that should be required reading. Tesla's 2025 CEO Performance Award contains a change-of-control provision: In the event of a change of control, ALL operational milestones are disregarded. No million robotaxis, Optimus robots, or $400 billion EBITDA. NONE of it. So if SpaceX acquires Tesla at $8.5 trillion, every tranche of Musk's 423 million share award vests immediately. A single acquisition at that price triggers the full vesting of both plans at once, with no way to claw them back. The milestones everyone argues about are just a distraction. The mechanism is the change-of-control language buried in the SEC filing. This is about engineering the largest personal wealth transfer in modern financial history and using the narrative machine to keep the price elevated long enough to execute it. I've seen every bust of the last four decades. But this one is different because the cult of personality is stronger than anything I've witnessed. The movement around this stock cannot be touched by facts, and that is what makes it so dangerous. But the math always wins. ALWAYS. It just takes longer when the con is this good.
