A worker in Ontario, California sets his company’s warehouse on fire and has a message for the CEO:
“There goes your inventory. All you had to do was pay us enough to fucking live.”
Expect to see more of this as people struggle to survive under our decaying capitalist system.

Let’s hope Bibi doesn’t start saying the Vatican is 2 weeks away from a nuclear weapon.

The Pentagon summoned the Pope's ambassador, told him the United States has the military power to do "whatever it wants," and warned that the Church better take its side. They even invoked the Avignon Papacy, a dark chapter in history when a government used military force to bend the Church to its will. So where exactly does this end? If the Pope refuses to fall in line, what's the next move, bomb the Vatican? thedailybeast.com/trump-official…

George Friedman, founder of Stratfor (sometimes dubbed “the shadow CIA”), in 2015:
“The primordial interest of the United States… has been the relationship between Germany and Russia… because united they are the only force that could threaten us. The primordial fear is German technology and capital combined with Russian resources and manpower.”

Maybe future generations will understand the colossal gift Germany threw away with Vladimir Putin. A Russian leader who lived in Dresden for years, speaks German, whose daughter was born in Saxony, and who repeatedly offered genuine partnership and friendship to the German people. Around the turn of the millennium, there was a real chance to combine Russian resources with German engineering and build a powerful, nearly untouchable alliance stretching from Vladivostok to Lisbon. Instead, short-sighted and corrupt German politicians sabotaged it all, aligning themselves with those who would rather see Germany and Russia locked in a devastating conflict. What could have been a historic partnership was tossed aside for political expediency, and the consequences are still unfolding. Here is the historic speech the Russian president delivered in German to the Bundestag on September 25, 2001, directly addressing the German people,a moment that, had it been seized, would have changed everything.....

@policytensor Pretty much nothing is survivable on the modern battlefield. We need to rethink the utility of war.

Why are pipelines any more survivable than heavily-defended billion-dollar radars?

COLUMN: No matter what the US and Iran agree over the future of Hormuz, the strait’s status will change. But the waterway will never be as critical as it was six weeks ago: Iran's rivals will rush to build more bypass oil pipelines. @Opinion bloomberg.com/opinion/articl…

@WarMonitor3 Oh I forgot, it's a Wednesday. Time to start ratcheting up the tensions for the weekend.

US airforce continues to transfer fighters across the Atlantic and a consistent stream of cargo aircraft into the Middle East despite ceasefire agreement.

@AngelicaOung We're watching a WWE event, the blood is real but everyone has their lines and Trump is the ringmaster.
Where it ends is anyone's guess

This makes me think the big strike is still coming.
Both the US and Iran have good reasons to take a breather. Israel is seething. This will pick up again.

@Grob2point0 @jacksonhinklle Can you point to me on a map where these Venezuelan "rare earth refineries" are? Are they in the room with us now?
English
@Spacedog19 @jacksonhinklle You know who has a fair bit of thsoe rare earth refineries? Venezuela. If only the US toppled their government and installed a puppet regime that'd do what they wanted.
Oh wait. 🤣

🚨🇺🇸🇨🇳🇮🇷 BREAKING: The breakthrough in negotiations came as China promised to act as a guarantor that the U.S. would ‘accept at least some of Iran’s conditions’ stated in the 10-point framework
As a gesture of trust, China vetoed a UN Security Council Resolution on the Strait of Hormuz earlier today, despite the crisis affecting China itself – Sources via Middle East Spectator

@Grob2point0 @lugkgn_1 @jacksonhinklle You realise that fighting only with sticks is a really good idea when both sides have nuclear weapons?
English
@Spacedog19 @lugkgn_1 @jacksonhinklle "fighting India every few years with sticks" is not an ad hominem. It is a thing that happens, every few years in a disputed area in the himalayas between India and China.
Just becasue you don't actually know anything doesn't make my accurate statement an "ad hominem"

@Grob2point0 @lugkgn_1 @jacksonhinklle My post was a reply to you posting ad hominems about China 🤷♂️
English
@Spacedog19 @lugkgn_1 @jacksonhinklle You can't actually disprove anything I said, so you resort to ad hominem attacks. Typical of a eurofäg
English
@Grob2point0 @jacksonhinklle You can get the resources but how will you refine them? How will you manufacture at the scale and cost that China does? Your phone would cost as much as your house if we built them.
English
@Spacedog19 @jacksonhinklle Thankfully Africa and South America have all the rare earths and other scarce resources to make such things that are needed.
I wonder which country has the power projection ability to get those resources. 🤔

@Grob2point0 @lugkgn_1 @jacksonhinklle It's hard to tell if you're a troll or you're just that brainwashed. I'm leaning troll.

@lugkgn_1 @Spacedog19 @jacksonhinklle The country that has to resort to fighting India, every few years with sticks is pretending that it has endless ICBM production capacity LOL
You communist bandits don't even have the might to seize a small little island next to you. You're not even China, you're just West Taiwan
English
@Grob2point0 @jacksonhinklle Good luck with your Vietnamese iPad and Cambodian batteries.
English
@Spacedog19 @jacksonhinklle India, Vietnam, Cambodia, Indonesia, plenty of other dirt poor large population southeast asian countries to get your cheap goods from. That's the good thing about being the country not being blockaded. You have much more options for where you can import goods from.
English
@Grob2point0 @jacksonhinklle Sure, and do you all of your consumer goods that you buy from China are going to magically appear from somewhere else? Our economies have become so structurally weakened that we need them more than they need us.
We should stop meddling in other people's houses and fix our own.
English
If you think you can magically increase demand from your (small and poor) neighboring countries to the extent that of the demand that you'd lose from everywhere not within walking distance, you know nothing about economics, and lack common sense.
If you lose the ability to sell y goods to country A, why do you, in any way, think country B, which only buys x goods, would then magically start buying x + y goods? Did the population and the resources from country A suddenly teleport to country B?
English
@Grob2point0 @jacksonhinklle As I say, China has a huge internal market and nearby customers. Not that a blockade is ever going to happen, the US would not dare because it knows the response would be far more painful.
English
@Spacedog19 @jacksonhinklle "They'll never lack customers."
What exactly do you think a blockade is, exactly...?
English
@Grob2point0 @jacksonhinklle I'm sorry but you've been consuming too much propaganda slop. China has barely even started developing their own market, they have 1.4 billion people, more than the either Western world combined, and then there's the Global South to develop. They'll never lack customers.
English
You know how easy it is to just move all your assets outside the range of the missiles? It's really easy.
China is far far more import and export dependant on the world than the US is. And they are a far weaker economy, overall, than the US is.
Were they to come to blows, the US could do far far more crushing damage to China than China could ever do to the US.
English
@Grob2point0 @jacksonhinklle You try something like that and every US base in the region will be flattened within an hour. I'm not trying to start anything here, just trying to say that making a move China is not smart and will hurt you more in the long run. There are better ways to deal with countries.
English
Did the houthis sink anything? No. Do you know how easy it would be to blockade China from outside it's ballistic missile range? Very easy. Because China does not have a blue water navy that can contest the oceans or fight for access to shipping lanes.
You don't actually know anything. Which makes sense because you're a eurofäg.

@RealPepeEscobar Someone keep an eye on the Israelis to make sure they don't accidentally murder the negotiating team again.

From the Supreme National Security Council in Iran: the key take away:
"It has been decided at the highest level that Iran will conduct two weeks of negotiations in Islamabad based solely on these principles. This does not mean the war is over; Iran will only accept the end of the war once these principles are confirmed in detail."
English
@ryangrim Does anyone seriously believe the Democrats wouldn't have been at war with Iran in the first week if they were in charge?

Jeffries calls for Mike Johnson to immediately reconvene the House to take up a war powers resolution
English
@Grob2point0 @jacksonhinklle Yeah. but no. The US Navy got chased off by the Houthis, how do you think they'll fare against China?
English
@Spacedog19 @jacksonhinklle LOL China doesn't have a blue water navy. The US could literally blockade all of China and their country would collapse almost immediately.
