If Trump had not backed down, attacked Iran's energy infrastructure, and Iran responded in kind, as they said they would, that would have sent the price of oil into the stratosphere. The damage done would've taken years to repair. The entire world would've felt the pain. I think Trump always knew that, but hoped his threats would cause Iran to back down. They didn't. So he blinked.

WSJ: “Meta has no platform layer, no operating system, no cloud business, no device. It is an application running on Apple’s hardware, spending up to $135B this year to build consumer AI features that Apple ships free, at the OS level, on every device it sells.” → 20% layoff?

Some Linux autist dig some digging and discovered the push for Digital ID and Verification on an OS level is coming from META which is lobbying millions of dollars to push for Age Verification and Digital ID laws.

Americans discovered that the actual production costs of the Shahed drone are not $20,000, nor even $10,000 as initially estimated, but only $7,000. The production of the Shahed-136 drone for Iran requires as much resources and labor as the production of a regular agricultural tractor. Iran possesses vast industrial capacities and material stocks that can be redirected from civilian production to defense as needed, allowing it to produce cheap weapons that can then disable missile defense radars costing several hundred million dollars.

The world should never forget the 165 innocent schoolgirls whose lives were extinguished in a brutal American attack on an elementary school in southern Iran. Nothing can justify such an unjustifiable atrocity—a war crime for which the perpetrators must be held strictly accountable.
