Let’s make one thing clear: When the US and Israeli Air Forces have complete air superiority over your country and bomb your military infrastructure 10,000 times, you are not stronger after that.
Iran has lost numerous generals and leaders, its entire Air Force, its navy, numerous munitions factories, between half and 90% of its ballistic missiles and Israel and the US continue to bomb hundreds of targets a day, completely unimpeded.
It’s astonishing how many total nitwits are platformed to write the dumbest things imaginable in major publications.

@LRHCPH @justinmassie1 look at the analysis on the German government bond if the US pulls out of NATO and removes its bases. then tell me that the US does not benefit Europe.
English
@JonLok18 @justinmassie1 The US doesn't spends much defending Germany, UK or France - after the Cold War US bases in Europe are more for US power projection than the territorial defense of the host nations - if the US wanted help, the US should've consulted with allies before the US chose to attack Iran.
English
Just like when NATO wasn’t there to support the French in Algeria and the British in the Falklands. This is simply not NATO’s purpose.
Department of State@StateDept
🚨 SECRETARY RUBIO: If NATO is just about us defending Europe if they’re attacked, but them denying us basing rights when we need them, then that’s not a very good arrangement. That’s a hard one to stay engaged in and say this is good for the United States.

@BDHerzinger @justinmassie1 i would say the thing that makes the most sense, from a self interest perspective is NATO joining with the GCC to confront Iran at this point as all parties have an interest.
English
@JonLok18 @justinmassie1 Uh, Saudi Arabia, Kuwait, Bahrain, and UAE could support the Iran mission. Wouldn’t you think that might make more sense?
English
@CheeseQuavers @justinmassie1 But you would agree that the US disproportionately contributes to the defensive Europe?
English
@JonLok18 @justinmassie1 We get the point. It's really simple to grasp. It's just that the point is wrong. Also, your entire military spend and what you spend to be part of NATO are two very different numbers and the former is nothing to do with us. I don't know how many times that needs explaining.
English
@BDHerzinger @justinmassie1 Yes agreed - however would you agree that if every nation in nato wanted to join the Iran mission they could?
English
@JonLok18 @justinmassie1 You’re missing the point, NATO has a very clear set of criteria for what and where. This isn’t a NATO operation. It’s even in the name, “North Atlantic”?

@Eric_Solberg @GordonJohnson19 @GLJ_Research @elonmusk today most of the time, what about tomorrow is the position that it will never achieve level 5 because the system is fundamentally flawed if so where is the evidence as I have seen gradual improvements over time
English
@JonLok18 @GordonJohnson19 @GLJ_Research @elonmusk But you said it yourself: most of the time. That’s your answer. It’s not complicated.
English
Even the $TSLA cult is beginning to see the truth - vision-only simply does NOT WORK. @GLJ_Research firmly blvs @elonmusk made a grave mistake putting out "FSD" in Austin 6/25, thus putting an expiration date on "FSD" ramping. The cult is beginning to have "the realization".
TESLARATI@Teslarati
I’m just going to say it and I know I’ll get some hate for it, but v14.2.2.5 is the worst FSD release since v14. Constantly in the wrong lane, a lot of weird maneuvers, so many additional nav errors, routing, speed control, parking, and that’s just to name a few. v14.3 cannot come soon enough.

@M_o_t_s_i_e_M @aga1nsta11oddz What about the wars before America existed?
English
@JonLok18 @aga1nsta11oddz all the wars in the middle east were started or funded by American my guy
English
I dont think the average american has a clue the amount of pain and destruction their country has caused the rest of the world.
English
So before the US why were there so many wars all over the world? You act as if the US is th sole cause of war but human nature is vicious all has been. The US is the reason for global stability - what you are not able to see is how chaotic the world would be if not for that security. Just look at the two world wars
English
@JonLok18 @aga1nsta11oddz You pathetic ignorant fool. The US provides security to nobody. The US created terrorism that you know today to steal people's resources. I bet you don't even know the capital of America. A privileged bastard.

@Severus_arabius Arabs are incapable of meaningful agreement - full stop. Envy kills them
English
Why can't Arabs just lock it and unite and create an actual superpower like the us and china instead of basically being slaves to either westerns or Iranians, it's so frustrating seeing a great civilization get humiliated like this

🚨 FIRST LOOK: The Donald J. Trump Presidential Library is officially here.
Over the past six months, I have poured my heart and soul into this project with my incredible team at @Trump.
This landmark on the water in Miami, Florida will stand as a lasting testament to an amazing man, an amazing developer, and the greatest President our Nation has ever known. 🇺🇸
These images have never been seen by the public — until today. Enjoy!

@MarkSeddon1962 That true - the us is also under no obligation to subsidize Europe’s defense
English
Does he not understand that NATO members are under no obligation to aid the US in an unprovoked illegal attack on another country?

@AliR_Ahmadi If they are communicating - it’s negotiating, let’s not play semantics.
English
Let me settle the controversy: US and Iran have been passing tense messages through Islamabad, including these lists of demands. That is all. Iran does not consider that "negotiation" - it isnt. The US does because its trying to jawbone re the markets.
