South Africa won’t allow Starlink to be licensed, even though I was BORN THERE, simply because I am not Black!
We were offered many times the opportunity to bribe our way to a license by pretending that a Black guy runs Starlink SA, but I have refused to do so on principle.
Racism should not be rewarded no matter to which race it is applied.
Shame on the racist politicians in South Africa. They should be shown no respect whatsoever anywhere in the world and shunned for being unashamedly RACISTS!

Why Elon Musk is RIGHT to fight South Africa’s racist rules blocking Starlink? Imagine this: Long ago, South Africa had very unfair laws called apartheid. They treated Black people badly and kept them from good jobs and money. When those bad laws ended, the country made new rules (called B-BBEE) to help Black people get a fair share of business. The idea was good – like a big helping hand. But now? For companies like Starlink to sell fast internet, they MUST give away 30% of their business to Black partners. Just because of skin color. Elon Musk was born in South Africa. He left as a teen to chase big dreams. Today, his company SpaceX wants to bring Starlink – super fast satellite internet – to South Africa. But the rules say no unless they give up part of the company. Elon said it right: “Starlink is not allowed because I’m not Black.” SpaceX promised to spend about $30 million (that’s 500 million rand!) to give FREE high-speed internet to 5,000 rural schools. That helps over 2.4 MILLION kids every year learn better, get jobs later, and have a brighter future. Real help for the people who need it most! Starlink already works in about 24 other African countries. Villages there now have internet for school, doctors, and business. South Africa’s villages are missing out because of these racist rules. Elon isn’t asking for special favors. He just wants fair play so Starlink can connect everyone fast. Internet = education, jobs, hope. Why hold back millions of kids over rules that pick by race and color?

On the Strait of Hormuz:
I said it before and I will say it again: Iran’s move to weaponize the Strait of Hormuz ranks among its most strategically reckless decisions.
They cannot sustain control over it. Their military position does not allow for prolonged enforcement against determined opposition. More importantly, it was never a credible bargaining chip. Once escalated, it has to be relinquished without meaningful concessions. The only asset that has ever carried real negotiating weight is the nuclear program.
The logic behind the move is also flawed. The expectation was to trigger a global economic shock large enough to force a halt in U.S. operations. That outcome has not materialized. Instead, it has accelerated the opposite dynamic. Regional and global actors are now investing in routes and infrastructure designed to bypass the Strait altogether.
In trying to turn Hormuz into leverage, Iran is diminishing its long-term strategic value. Very stupid of IRGC.

מדינת ישראל לא תשתוק מול מי שתוקף אותנו.
ספרד הכפישה את גיבורינו, חיילי צה״ל, חיילי הצבא המוסרי בעולם.
ולכן הנחיתי לסלק את נציגי ספרד ממרכז התיאום בקריית גת, לאחר שספרד בחרה שוב ושוב להתייצב נגד ישראל.
מי שתוקף את מדינת ישראל במקום את משטרי הטרור, מי שעושה זאת, לא יהיה שותף שלנו לגבי עתיד האזור.
אני לא מוכן לסבול את הצביעות הזאת ואת העוינות הזאת. אני לא מתכוון לאפשר לאף מדינה לנהל נגדנו מלחמה מדינית בלי לשלם על כך מחיר מיידי.

yes, the brainrotted TDS crowd not thinking anything through at all.
"international piracy is ok if you can threaten a chokepoint"
... ok? so we're just going to accept a 95% decline in maritime trade if everyone follows suit? fine. the entire world will starve aside from the US in that case.
English
The issue of the Strait of Hormuz is a global problem
Using the Iran precedent, any 3rd world country on the planet can become a "superpower" by using cheap drones to target commercial shipments
I don't think people with TDS understand the greater ramifications of allowing this
Gummi@gummibear737
Iran doesn't get to collect tolls on the Strait of Hormuz They don't even control it...they just get a veto because they are targeting commercial shipping Do you know who else can target commercial shipping? Every country on the planet That's why terrorists must be destroyed
English
@nic_carter @gummibear737 bombing hospitals, civilians, and journalists is okay but not commercial ships?

@DavidD_Chapman Another victory against the Iranians and we will be undone

Iran war death toll
IRGC: 6,000
USA: 15
Kill Ratio is 400 to 1.
General Westmoreland had wet dreams about kill ratios that high during the Vietnam War.
Spare me your propaganda.
America kicked Iran's teeth in

@no_itsmyturn @biancoresearch This was always going to end with Iran going the Gaza route. When you lose conventionally, play to the emotions of western liberals by intentionally putting your civilians at risk

@JRodNice1 @BitcoinNewsCom i'm calling him a liar because he's lying
he's welcome to clear this up anytime by publishing an org chart, names, anything.
i dont think there are even 20 technical staff total at blockstream.

ADAM BACK: “Blockstream has 20 person applied cryptography/security team working on the quantum issue basically full time, you can see that from the pace of R&D output, implementations, BIPs.
It's just insulting and FALSE to say bitcoin protocol researchers are "not doing anything.”

@zerohedge “About the whole “death to America” thing… can yall let that slide one time…?”

@nic_carter @zerohedge They mean to our government, the same that ours says to theirs. They've been pretty explicit of saying they have no beef with the American people.

Mark Levin says he can think of plenty of reasons for troops on the ground.
Why won’t he enlist?

Bannon calls for “total war” on Iran. “President Trump’s in. We’re in, too,” he says. “We’re gonna go back and re-do what Alexander the Great did 2,300 years ago.”

It pisses me off seeing Americans burn their own flag!
They really have no idea how good they have it, how freaking lucky they are to be born in this country!

@MollySOShea @mikeeisenberg zattak's law: he more you learn about israel the grosser it gets
English
BREAKING: @mikeeisenberg says “The Iran War changes everything."
Two reasons:
1) Proving the power of a true model ally in Israel
2) Global supply chains changed forever
"Allies like the United States & Israel — Israel makes the United States more powerful, & the United States makes Israel & the entire region more powerful, more central, & more important to the future of the global economy."
“Out of this will come completely reordered global supply chains — for AI, for energy, for commodities, for everything.”
"This is a war that changes the world, changes global supply chains."
“Uncertainty requires high-agency and mission-driven people.”
"Israel produces agency at scale — or people with agency at scale — because of mandatory military service & a mission-driven people, both in the economy and in civil society.

@nic_carter @shashj was sad to see all @nic_carter principles evaporate into neocon warmongering as soon as Israel took over his sub-conscious

@shashj You know we can trivially seize these tankers right?

@nic_carter @shashj seizing tankers is easy. Dealing with ww3 with China (where the tankers are going) while depending on Chinese supply chains for restocking munitions lost so far is a whole different ball game
