Donald Trump is not, never will be, and has never been a king. #NoKings

Buried in Iran’s five-point counterproposal to Trump’s 15-point peace plan is the single most consequential sentence of the entire war.
Iran’s fifth ceasefire condition, via Press TV citing a senior political-security official:
“Iran’s exercise of sovereignty over the Strait of Hormuz is and will remain Iran’s natural and legal right, and it constitutes a guarantee for the implementation of the other party’s commitments, and must be recognized.”
Read that again slowly.
Iran is not asking for sanctions relief. It is not asking for reconstruction funds. It is demanding that the international community formally recognize Iranian sovereignty over the waterway through which one-fifth of the world’s oil, one-fifth of its LNG, and one-third of its helium must transit.
If any version of this condition survives into a ceasefire, the IRGC toll regime at Hormuz becomes permanent. Not as an ad hoc wartime measure. As an internationally recognized sovereign right.
Iran’s parliament is already drafting the legislation. MP Mohammadreza Rezaei Kouchi told Iranian media: “We provide its security, and it is natural that ships and oil tankers should pay such fees.” The bill is in the Civil Affairs Committee. Bloomberg reported it could be finalized within a week.
Iran has signed but never ratified UNCLOS. Its 1993 domestic law requires prior authorization for warships and hazardous cargo transiting the strait. Some legal scholars characterize Iran as a “persistent objector” to the transit passage regime. The US maintains transit passage is customary international law. The legal question is unresolved. The physical question is not: Iran controls the northern shore and is enforcing a selective corridor at the point of a gun.
GCC Secretary General al-Budaiwi called it “an aggression and a violation of the United Nations Convention on the Law of the Sea” on March 26.
He is correct on the law. He may be irrelevant on the outcome.
The Suez precedent: Nasser nationalized in 1956. Reopened under Egyptian control in 1957. Excluded British pounds and French francs from the toll. The Suez Canal Authority has collected tolls in its chosen currencies for nearly seven decades. Crisis lasted months. Architecture lasted forever.
Trump’s energy strike deadline is April 6. If the toll survives the war, the dollar loses its first chokepoint.

Images show what experts say are U.S. land mines dispersed across a residential area in southern Iran.
Human rights groups have long called to ban land mines because of their propensity to harm or kill civilians, often years after conflicts have ended. wapo.st/41hPU2N

@Handre @kylenabecker And then, the side that suppositively turned out better went full commie, and the side that learned it's lesson went full AFD. We will see who ultimately prevails.

The Berlin Wall created the most brutal controlled experiment in human history: identical people, split by ideology, watched for 41 years to see which system would prevail.
West Germans embraced market economics while East Germans suffered under socialist central planning. The results? Devastating. By 1989, East German GDP per capita sat at roughly 30% of West Germany's level. East Germans consumed 40% fewer calories, owned cars at one-tenth the rate, and waited 12 years for a telephone connection. Meanwhile, their western cousins enjoyed rising living standards, technological innovation, and personal freedom that made West Germany an economic powerhouse.
But the socialists had excuses ready. "East Germany started from a worse position after the war," they claimed. Bullshit. Both regions faced identical devastation in 1945. The Soviets actually stripped more industrial equipment from their zone (roughly $10 billion worth), yet this affected rural areas less than urban centers. And East Germany possessed abundant natural resources like lignite coal and uranium that should have provided economic advantages.
The real difference? Property rights, price signals, and entrepreneurship versus state ownership, price controls, and bureaucratic allocation. West Germans could start businesses, invest capital, and respond to consumer demands. East Germans filled quotas set by party officials who had never run so much as a lemonade stand. You can't coordinate an economy through committee meetings and five-year plans when prices tell you nothing about real supply and demand.
East Germans voted with their feet—2.7 million fled west before the Communists built their wall in 1961. After reunification, investigators found Stasi files on one-third of the population. When you need secret police watching every third citizen, your economic system has already failed.

@costareports @CBSSunday Linking the Libertarian wing and the business wing via mass amnesty...
English

NEWS: Sen. Rand Paul tells @CBSSunday that he's considering a presidential run in 2028, and believes he might be able to link the libertarian wing with the business wing to counter GOP populists.
“We’re thinking about it,” he said. “I would say 50-50.”
Our interview airs this Sunday.

Yes. We learned that the left and many on the right are capable of absolute tyranny, so we all went out and purchased weapons and ammo so there will not be a next time. Because FUCK YOU!!!

A question for everyone: survey data suggests that by the end of the Covid-19 emergency trust in public health institutions had decreased significantly. If you are among the people who reacted that way, why specifically? I'm hoping for long, diverse, individualized answers.

@JoaquinCastrotx Okay, Joaquin. How about this: You tell your voters to stop raping and murdering Americans and once we see a difference in your voter's actions we'll consider other options to get rid of them.
