People in any ideological bubble, who are totally convinced they know the truth, are the most dangerous and are the cause of every terrible thing that happens in the world. #moderate #ideology

@bizlet7 That's true but doesn't have to be drastic. As long as you're both in the ballpark and have a great emotional connection it's fine. If you split up just based on one of you gaining or losing a few pounds it means you never gave two shits about each other in the first place.

A personal trainer said that every client he had that managed to actually get into really good shape left their current relationship. Man or woman.

A message from the President of the United States. #trump #iran

@AdamCrafton_ @TheAthleticFC Someone at MBTA is a soccer hating weasel like some of the trumpanzees in these comments.

NEW: MBTA confirm $80 return ticket Boston to Gillette Stadium during World Cup, after @TheAthleticFC first reported it would be over $75. Quadruple the usual price for NFL games. No concessions for kids, over-60s or passengers with accessibility needs nytimes.com/athletic/71501…

@ontologyofRouge @AdamCrafton_ @TheAthleticFC You're a retard. Most of the world likes soccer. People from all over the planet will come watch it. And tons of immigrants in US. And some Americans. I'm not a liberal and I fucking love soccer. Best sport in the world along with hockey. Far better than US sports.

@AdamCrafton_ @TheAthleticFC GOOD! The only ppl that like soccer are libtards, enjoy your culture lol

@stoic5132 @matthewstoller How was the US exposed as a paper tiger? You're living in an alternative universe. This is like a soccer team beating another team 22-1 and you claim they're a paper tiger because the losing team did manage to get 1.

@matthewstoller We'll probably end up here, whether we like it or not. Already the U.S. has been exposed as a paper tiger in Iran. If we can't guarantee freedom of the seas, the notion of the dollar as the reserve currency starts to crumble, along with that financialization and globalization.

The reason Democrats have no position on the war is because no one has a coherent view on what to do. It’s not on them. The U.S. is basically the bank account and army for global oligarchs. This positioning is not good for Americans and it’s not good for the world. But it’s also impossible to imagine an alternative. The foreign policy establishment sees their work as a hobby. The U.S. is so endlessly rich and heroic that it’s all a game. They don’t think that the realm of foreign affairs should be good for ordinary people; that’s a rhetorical afterthought. To them the deindustrialization and erosion of the middle class at the heart of the destabilization of the world is sad but necessary, if they bother to notice it at all. The left foreign policy world is not actually that different. They are libertarian and hostile to Americans, and they don’t care about economics. Foreign policy to them is a hobby of the rich, it’s just the U.S. is the central villain instead of central hero. They do not understand or care about deindustrialization as a result of Chinese overcapacity, which is a central and fundamental foreign policy challenge. To them that’s handwaving away as ‘economics’ and boring. Let’s just do ‘care’ work, they imagine, as if a nation that makes nothing and imports food can afford to have its young people do nothing but wipe the asses of the old. What does a non-oligarch driven America actually do? What does it look like? Well for starters we pull back dramatically from the rest of the world. No troops in Europe, maybe offer some defense weapons to East Asian nations. No presence in the Middle East. Cut Israel loose entirely. Total revamp of our bloated and incompetent military and its corrupt establishment. Fire most admirals and generals and put in a new generation capable of actually thinking. This change will require us to be a LOT more protectionist. We put up huge trade barriers so that we can rebuild our industries. We also impose capital controls and confiscate or tax assets held by foreigners. No foreign ownership of land. We are not your bank account, Mr. Saudi Prince or Chinese money launderer. Finally, we crush capitalism. Rebuild our farms and factories. No more driving our corporations for shareholders. Lots of public utility regulation or nationalization of assets. No more private equity. No more crypto or corporate gambling. If you want to make money, you do something useful. Otherwise it’s poverty or handcuffs. America needs to be run for its people, not for the Epstein Class or for weirdos who can’t go over the Iranian overthrow of the shah or for lefty hobbyists funded by Koch industries to deindustrialize what’s left of what we have.

@matthewstoller WTF is this load of absolute nonsense? Who is this idiot?

@BritCits @citrinowicz @owenjonesjourno Keep watching blatant AI videos Iran pumps out to make yourself feel better and believe this is going well for them.

@citrinowicz @owenjonesjourno It shouldn’t be tit for tat. It should be two tits for a tat! Strike Iran once get similarly hit twice. Absolutely fed up with zionists.

Iran has publicly admitted that. The Iranian strike on Dimona and the Haifa refinery following the Israeli attack on the South Pars gas field highlights a clear and consistent pattern: escalation managed through deliberate signaling. In both cases, we see effective command and control, with strategic guidance translating into precise operational execution at the tactical level. More importantly, Iran is working to preserve a response equation: whatever you do to us, we will do to you — and more. This is not random retaliation. It is structured deterrence, designed to shape behavior and impose costs. Any strategy that ignores this dynamic risks fundamentally misunderstanding how Iran calibrates escalation. #IranWar‌

@kelums @citrinowicz You should try your hand at writing fiction. Zero of this post is backed up by facts. How logical is it to assume the stuff you're making up has anything to do with reality?

@citrinowicz How logical is it assume that Iran doesn't already have the nuclear capability? A country with this level of techno advance is way above quite a number of nations having nuclear capabilities. Its best the USA considers the possibility. Might be a decade too late to hit Iran.

@stuarttownsend8 @VisionofT @citrinowicz @Rob_Malley Half a million?! Lol what? What's your source? Your own ass? Even the Hamas run ministry of health has claimed 10x less.

@VisionofT @citrinowicz @Rob_Malley “Hit targets with precision” You just admitted that Israel deliberately targets civilians. Half a million likely dead in Gaza, precisely targeted by a terror regime committing genocide. Thanks for clearing that up

@Larry_D0g @Mylovanov Oh, it's actually very viable. You just have no idea WTF you're talking about & your bias gets in the way of objective judgement. Obviously, this one's powered by AI software so works better but no reason the Ukrainian version can't work against drones. youtu.be/BwyqVwjyFk4?si…

@Mylovanov Never happened. A drone would have removed it from service within minutes of its deployment. In fact, its very unlikely to have survived long enough to be deployed. If you are going to make stuff up, at least do enough research to make up something viable.

This Ukrainian robot alone held position for 45 days. It’s called TWW127. Robots don’t bleed. Saving manpower is the top 1 priority of the Ukrainian army, United24. NC13 Commander “Makar”: Strike UGV direction is the newest and least studied. But its potential is the biggest.1/

@MardukofNibiru @Larry_D0g @Mylovanov Here... I found it just for you and others with "superior critical thinking skills". youtu.be/BwyqVwjyFk4?si…

@MardukofNibiru @Larry_D0g @Mylovanov Defenseless against a drone? Such an expert you are. The new American AI powered anti-drone weapon is a mounted machine gun. It identifiea drones and blows them out of the sky. You can find a video of its tests.

@Ipster_FI @RheinmetallAG @yarotrof The ironic part is that I found another interview with him from just a couple of days ago in which he said that US & Europe will soon be out of air defense rockets because they're infinitely more expensive than $20-30K drones Iran is using. He can't put 2+2 together, apparently

@RheinmetallAG @yarotrof Well, your CEO clearly doesn't. Do you mean to say he does not represent the views of Rheinmetall? In interviews? #BoardOfDirectors should put 2 and 2 together. Not impressed.

We have the utmost respect for the Ukrainian people’s immense efforts in defending themselves against the Russian attack - now for more than four years. Every single woman and man in 🇺🇦 is making an immeasurable contribution. It is to Ukraine’s particular credit that it is fighting highly effectively even with limited resources. The innovative strength and the fighting spirit of the Ukrainian people are an inspiration to us. We are grateful to be able to support 🇺🇦 with the resources at our disposal. @AKamyshin

@RheinmetallAG The ironic part is that I found another interview with your CEO from just a couple of days ago in which he said that US & Europe will soon be out of air defense rockets because they're infinitely more expensive than $20-30K drones Iran is using. Now put 2+2 together.

@_manuvers @RheinmetallAG The only terrorist regime that must be removed is in Moscow. Ukraine didn't invade anyone. If you don't stop talking fascist nonsense I'm gonna make sure your bank account is disarmed completely. Not that it has much in it. Russian rubles aren't worth much these days.

@RheinmetallAG The terrorist regime in Kiev must be removed and the country disarmed completely. No need to backtrack from your assessment of their exaggerated capabilities.

@Derpetology101 @JohnCleese You're out of date. American help to Ukraine has pretty much gone done to nothing after Trump was elected. It's actually yet another argument for John's point.

@JohnCleese Yeah, he supplies immense aid to Ukraine and is invading one of Russia's most important strategic partners. Definitely a Russian agent.

It makes sense when you assume that Trump is a Russian agent Perfect sense No ?

@guy_next_to_me @JohnCleese It's actually very simple. It's not about money. It's about tapes of him fucking kids. Good ol' KGB kompromat. Absolutely everything he does when it comes to Russia proves that he's a Putin bitch. If it walks like a duck...

@JohnCleese Imagine what it would take to hire Trump as a “Russian Agent?” The man has had everything any wan could ever hope for - how do you buy a guy like that? It’s the poor fellas like Obama and Biden who can be bought.

@LeonGoudikian @ZelenskyyUa Once you take your head out of your ass maybe you can read the news about how much the US and gulf countries have struggled defending from Iranian drones. Ukraine has by far the most experience and expertise in doing that.

@ZelenskyyUa Ukraine is on the back burner. That’s an expression meaning it is not the center of attention anymore. Your efforts to inject Ukraine into a different war that is getting the headlines is a clever move, worthy of Meghan Markle, who goes where the cameras are pointing.

We are already working with the Gulf countries and practically every day we are in contact with these countries at the team level. There are already concrete results from our units in defense – we are providing our expertise and our real support. Other countries of the world should now also make their contribution to stabilization. We all need joint decisions and joint work so that there is more security for everyone. I thank everyone who contributes to coordination and shared results.
