@god_wins100 @rami_hashimi Most laughable, pathetic and naive tweet ever.
English

@rami_hashimi Don’t worry. It will all be over soon and we will be living in a whole new world. Trump doesn’t bluff. He never would have started this thing if he wasn’t fully willing to finish it. It’s all in God’s hands now.

How long do we have before things drastically change here in America? @EricRWeinstein gives his thoughts.
English

@Zimmlaw175 @Microinteracti1 @JoshKRollerboy There’s lots of other things that travel the Strait that the US does need very badly. Further an illegal war is definitely not a trigger for NATO countries to act.
English

Say goodnight NATO. Gandalv, please listen closely to this: WE DON’T NEED MIDDLE EAST OIL. WE HAVE PLENTY OF OUR OWN. Every one of those countries will need something from us. I don’t think that this president is going to be senile, forgetful and weak, like your favorite president. He’ll remember. For a long long time.
English

10 Countries. 0 Warships.
Trump went hat in hand to the world. The world checked its phone and put it back in its pocket.
France said no. Officially. In writing. Germany said nothing, which is German for no. Norway said no. The UK is “discussing options with allies,” which is British for no. Japan stayed silent while 70% of its Middle East oil supply sits behind a minefield. South Korea watched Washington and Tehran play chicken with its own energy supply and declined to pick a side. China called it a sovereign right and hung up. Qatar didn’t just refuse. Qatar stopped production entirely and declared force majeure. Their energy minister did not mince words: this will bring down economies of the world.
Iran is still there. Still attacking ships. Still laying mines. Still holding the strait.
The most powerful military on Earth sent out the call. Ten countries heard it. The result is a number that requires no commentary: zero.
This is what the end of American power looks like in practice. A request for warships that came back empty. Washington spent decades telling the world that the US-led order was worth defending. The world has moved away from the US.

@BTCBlockAndLoad @acnewsitics Law…? Now you want to talk about law when it suits you…? This war is illegal. Hence NATO commitments cannot be triggered.
English

@acnewsitics U.S. law lets Trump control trade with any nation, EU member or not. Embargoes & tariffs are legal tools to defend America’s economy and security.
America First means America Strong!

Spain is in the EU. You don’t “embargo Spain” without dealing with 26 other countries, you dumb idiot. The Supreme Court didn’t give you the power to rewrite how the European Union works.
Acyn@Acyn
Trump now threatening to cut off all trade with Spain: The right was given to us by the supreme court. I could tomorrow stop or today—even better—stop everything having to do with Spain. Embargoes. We may do that with Spain.

Dubai just shut down. The busiest international airport on earth. Closed. Indefinitely.
Dubai International and Al Maktoum International both suspended all operations on February 28 per official Dubai Airports statement. Over 280 flights canceled. 250 more delayed. The airspace that handles more international passengers than any hub on the planet went dark this morning because Iranian ballistic missiles were flying through it.
Now read the airline list and understand the scale of what just broke.
Emirates. Grounded. Etihad. Grounded. Qatar Airways. Suspended all flights to and from Doha after Qatari airspace closed. Air India. Every single flight to every destination in the entire Middle East. Suspended indefinitely. Turkish Airlines. Suspended flights to Bahrain, Iraq, Iran, Jordan, Kuwait, Lebanon, Oman, Syria, Qatar, and the UAE until at least March 2. Lufthansa. Dubai suspended. Air France. Tel Aviv and Beirut suspended. Wizz Air. Israel, Dubai, Abu Dhabi, and Amman suspended until March 7. British Airways. Affected. Virgin Atlantic. Affected. Japan Airlines. Affected. Norwegian Air, LOT Polish, Scandinavian Airlines, Aegean, Iberia, Air Arabia, PIA, Saudia, Air Algerie. All affected. All grounded or rerouting.
This is not a regional disruption. This is the global aviation network breaking at one of its most critical nodes.
Dubai is not just an airport. It is the single largest connecting hub between Asia, Europe, Africa, and the Middle East. Every flight from Mumbai to London, from Singapore to Frankfurt, from Nairobi to New York that routes through the Gulf is now either canceled, delayed, or burning extra fuel on thousand-mile detours around closed airspace. IndiGo just suspended flights to Almaty, Baku, Tashkent, and Tbilisi until March 28. Not March 2. March 28. A month of Central Asian connectivity erased because Iranian missiles crossed the flight paths.
The cost is compounding by the hour. Rerouted flights burn more fuel when oil is spiking past 100 dollars a barrel because the same conflict that closed the airspace is threatening the strait that moves 21 million barrels a day. Airlines are paying surge prices for fuel to fly longer routes around a war zone that did not exist yesterday morning. Every hour the airspace stays closed, the losses multiply across carriers already operating on thin margins.
And here is what nobody is calculating yet. Dubai’s economy runs on connectivity. Tourism. Trade. Finance. Logistics. All of it depends on DXB being open. The UAE just absorbed an act of war on its sovereign territory with a civilian killed in Abu Dhabi from missile debris. The country that built its entire economic model on being the safe, neutral, connected hub of the Middle East is now closed for business because the country it had no quarrel with fired missiles through its airspace.
Iran did not just attack military bases this morning. Iran shut down the economic engine of the Gulf.
That is a cost Tehran cannot afford to repay and the UAE will not forget.

Imagine if a woman running a company that earns billions from government contracts showed up at an investor meeting wearing a t-shirt with unbrushed hair and then, while gesturing like a meth addict, celebrated killing people.
Mr. Nobody@MmisterNobody
Palantir Technologies CEO Alex Karp couldn’t stay seated in his chair as he proudly stated, “We kill people sometimes,” while speaking to shareholders. Maniac.

Three-time Trump voter: I voted for Trump, but I really want to apologize. I'm looking at this awful picture of the Obamas. What an embarrassment to our country. All this man does is tell lies. He is not worthy of the presidency. He takes bribes blatantly, and now he's being a racist blatantly. He's pathetic as a president, and I just want to apologize to everybody in the country for supporting this rotten, rotten man.

@plaidtospace @greendragonhq Outside the US in the whole rest of the world it’s taken just $75,000.
English

Melania grossed around $7–8 million on its opening weekend in the US, which is unusually high for a documentary (a record-breaking figure when compared to the last 10 years). 
• This earned it third place in the US box office charts – well above the figures expected before the premiere. 
• Nevertheless, this amount is well below the production and marketing costs (approx. $75–80 million), so the film is not yet a “big winner” financially.
