I think it’s a fair time to go through some of the gems from my 10 year old meme library. Being that it’s 2026, a lot of these I’ll be using over the next few weeks are from the very first Trump administration. Others are just from a time when memes were more simple.

Have you actually read a book on Mongol history beyond scattered quotes online? Overrated? The Mongols built the first military system that could coordinate independent operations across thousands of miles. Their örtöö relay network moved messages across the empire faster than any force in history, continuous reconnaissance fed intelligence back to command while their enemies operated blind. Their Khwarezmian campaign were simultaneous Mongol invasions from multiple directions with columns separated by hundreds of kilometers crossing deserts considered impassable and using frozen rivers for winter maneuvers, while operating as a distributed network isolating cities and cutting enemy communications. Ironic that your account is based on Medieval history when Medieval armies struggled to coordinate small detachments whereas Genghis was coordinating multiple armies across entire continents. At Liegnitz 20,000 Mongols wiped out Henry’s 30,000 strong army made up of Polish ​knights, Templars, and Teutonics. Two days later at Mohi they crushed 70,000 Hungarians with coordinated night attacks and the nerge encirclement. Mongol communications traveled 450 kilometers from Liegnitz to Mohi in 36 hours which allowed perfect coordination of the two pronged assault. At Kalka River 20,000 Mongols under Subutai crushed 80,000 Russians and Cumans after a nine day feigned retreat leaving 20,000 dead. Overrated? They were decimating entire European armies like it was nothing. Now on your claims of them contributing nothing. Mongols forced Persian astronomers, Chinese engineers, and Arab mathematicians to work together which was the first cross continental knowledge exchange in history. The Pax Mongolica reopened the Silk Road with security that hadn’t existed in centuries. Bills of exchange, deposit banking, and insurance all came to Europe during this period, and these are the financial tools that made the Renaissance possible. They implemented religious tolerance under the Yassa while Europe was burning heretics. Mongols built postal and administrative systems that successor states used for centuries after. Heres a book for you to read to educate yourself

People will hate this but it has to be said.. Genghis Khan is vastly overrated. Yeah, the Mongols conquered a lot of stuff. They were good at war. But that's it. They didn't contribute to human society in any measurable way that affects anyone today. I will bet money you've never eaten a buuz dumpling or listen to throat singing. A large part of the Mongol's success comes from their sheer brutality towards common folk. And brutalize the common folk they did. Sack a castle and kill everyone. Come back two weeks later when people are rummaging through the wreckage and kill everyone again. Capture a bunch of men, women, and children, and make them march at the head of the army's assault, taking the casualties and filling up moats with their corpses. So sure, the war machine was impressive but the slaughter of millions of peasants is (aside from kind of sickening to consider) entirely unimpressive. And in exchange for the slaughter of so many the world got.... ? Mid asian food and terrible music? Weird horse products? "They are inhuman and beastly, rather monsters than men, thirsting for and drinking blood, tearing and devouring the flesh of dogs and men, dressed in ox-hides, armed with plates of iron... bulky, strong, invincible, untiring... They are without human laws, know no comforts, are more ferocious than lions or bears." - Matthew Paris (English Benedictine monk in the 1240s) "They should be called monsters rather than human beings, thirsting after and drinking blood, tearing apart and devouring the corpses of dogs and humans... Devoid of human laws, they have no knowledge of clemency.." "They are extremely arrogant toward other people, [and] tend to anger... easily... They are the greatest liars in the world in dealing with other people... They are crafty and sly... [and] have an admirable ability to keep their intentions secret... They are messy in their eating and drinking and in their whole way of life, [and] cling fiercely to what they have. They have no conscience about killing other people..." -John of Plano Carpini (1240s) "One cannot sufficiently defame the cruelty and artful ability for deception of that people... a certain ill-bred breed of inhuman humans, whose law is lawlessness, whose wrath is furious... overrunning countless lands, which it is dreadfully devastating, killing and horribly exterminating by fire all who stand in their way." -Ivo of Narbonne (1240s) A disgusting people who happen to get very, very good at warfare but highly overrated by people who value martial excellence.

@balajis @A_Hollywood1776 It will increase prices much much more in Asia & Europe. it’s fun to see these same countries offer no assistance to Trump, who doesn’t need it, but defends them all the time. They all want their own prices to rise thinking it will hurt Trump far more. It will hurt them more

I'm going to make some obvious points. (1) Blowing up all the oil infrastructure in the Middle East is an insane idea, and may well result in a global economic crash and humanitarian crisis unrivaled in the lives of those now living. We're talking about the price of everything everywhere rising, from food to gas, at a moment when inflation was already high. All of that will be laid at the feet of the authors of this war. (2) The antebellum status quo of Feb 27, 2026 was just not that bad, but we're unlikely to return to it. Expect indefinite, long-term, ongoing disruptions to everything out of the Middle East. (3) Also assume tech financing crashes for the indefinite future. The genius plan to get the Gulf states caught in the crossfire has incinerated much of the funding for LPs, for datacenters, and for IPOs. Anyone in tech who supported this war may soon learn the meaning of "force majeure" as funding gets yanked. (4) Many capital allocators will instead be allocating much further down Maslow's hierarchy of needs, towards useful basic things like food and energy. (5) It's fortunate that all those progressives yelled about the "climate crisis." Yes, their reasoning about timelines was wrong, and much of the money was wasted in graft, but the result was right: we all need energy independence from the Middle East, pronto. It's also fortunate that Elon and China autistically took climate seriously. Now they're going to need to ship a billion solar panels, electric vehicles, batteries, nuclear power plants, and the like to get everyone off oil, immediately. (6) It's not just an oil and gas problem, of course. It's also a fertilizer problem, and a chemical precursor problem. Maybe some new sources will come online at the new prices, but it takes time to dial stuff up, particularly at this scale, so shortages are almost a certainty. That said, China has actually scaled up coal-to-chemicals[a,c] (C2C), and there's also something more sci-fi called Power-to-X[b] which turns arbitrary power + water + air into hydrocarbons. But all of that will need to get accelerated. I have a background in chemical engineering so may start funding things in this area. (7) Ultimately, this war is going to result in tremendous blame for anyone associated with it. It's a no-win scenario to blow up this much infrastructure for so many people. Simply not worth it for whatever objective they thought they were going to attain. But unless you're actually in a position to stop the madness, the pragmatic thing to do is: scramble to mitigate the fallout to yourself, your business, and your people.

The biggest problem is they are all physically cowards. Tucker ironically is one of the first to call people out to fight. Which I actually appreciate. A right wing man who doesn’t look for excuses to get into “defensive” fights isn’t right wing enough for me. When logic won’t work on someone I want to see them progress to the next step; forcing your will through a monopoly on violence. Which is the point of governments. If someone refuses to participate in any violets, they are a limited hangout for even themselves.

💢 Iran sets up “approved” shipping corridor through Hormuz Iran is allowing select vessels to pass through the Strait of Hormuz along routes inside its territorial waters after prior approval — with at least one tanker reportedly paying around $2M for transit, according to Lloyd’s List. At least nine ships have already used the route near Larak Island, where IRGC-linked authorities verify vessels. Governments including India, China, Pakistan, Iraq, and Malaysia are coordinating transit requests directly with Tehran. Lloyd’s List reports Iran is moving to formalize the system: shipowners must submit detailed ownership and cargo information in advance, often via intermediaries, to register for clearance, with vessels tied to the U.S. or Israel excluded. Traffic remains minimal, with just 15 transits recorded from March 15–17 — about 90% tied to Iran-linked trade or ownership. Visual from @LloydsList

Iran is setting up a 'safe' corridor for the transit of vessels through the Strait of Hormuz. At least 9 ships have already used the corridor, routed close to Iran’s Larak Island for visual checks by IRGC Navy and port authorities

@Malcolm_Pal9 @brock_joha41812 Nah, the IRGC cut off communications amongst the Iranian people while they butcher them and they try to prevent the truth from getting out. Everyone knows the IRGC is hated by Iranians outside of a few Islamist bootlickers like yourself and this 🤡

“Did you know U.S. and Israeli jets fired missiles at protesters in Tehran? Your media won’t tell you.” says Professor Mohammed Marandi of Iran. Host: “Can Iran close the Strait of Hormuz indefinitely?” Marandi: “For them, it’s a fight for survival. For you, it’s about maintaining power structures and ethno-supremacy.”

Pat Buchanan knew: “Iran doesn’t frighten me and I don’t think it should frighten the American people. They don’t have a bomb, they don’t have the means to deliver one, and the Israelis have 300 atomic bombs. Who presents the existential threat to whom?”
