@BowesChay No. This is a stupid simplistic Trumpism. Yes Mexico has a cartel and corruption problem. But it is a huge country w productive people, natural resources and complex history. Dumb Trumpisms will NOT solve problems. Any more than in Iran.

You buy a German anvil. It contains 83 moving parts and requires winding twice a day. It's forged from excellent steel, holds tolerances across all three striking faces to within three microns, includes a beautifully indexed horn-adjustment mechanism nobody asked for, and requires a proprietary 11-point spanner should you need to replace the rebound calibration bushing. It runs flawlessly for years, but one day it starts up in limp mode because the onboard anvil-management system detects that it's overdue for its 50,000-strike inspection. You search AliExpress for a Chinese anvil, and are presented with a multitude of offerings from such household-name brands as DUKXJYIBF, HDBTGMXI, AND UEJQIP. They're all priced to within a few pennies of each other, appear completely identical except for the nameplate, and obviously all came out of the same factory. You text your blacksmith friend to ask if they're legit. He tells you he got one like that from KIXJBU a few years ago, and that it's been great and a terrific deal. You thank him, but KIXJBU seems to have folded so you buy the one from UEJQIP. When it arrives, it feels suspiciously light. You scratch it and realize it's iron-plated aluminum. You buy an American anvil. It's five times the price of the competition, but it comes from a brand that your great-grandfather used to love. It comes boxed with a warranty registration postcard, twenty pages of safety instructions, assay certificate, and a regulatory slip which lists its FCC certification and ITAR registration. It looks just like your friend's KIXJBU. There's a "Made In China" sticker on the bottom. You buy a Russian anvil. It arrives coated in cosmoline, wrapped in newspaper from 1974, and weighing 40% more than advertised. The finish looks like it was machined with a shovel. The face is not flat, but somehow this does not matter. You drop it off a truck, accidentally leave it outside for six winters, and use it to straighten a bulldozer blade. It's fine. You buy a Swedish anvil. It comes flat-packed in a long cardboard box with cheerful Neo-Grotesk lettering and a line drawing of a smiling man assembling it with an Allen key. The instructions contain no words, only pictograms showing the anvil face, horn, waist, feet, and 112 identical-looking fasteners. Halfway through assembly, you discover that the pritchel hole was installed upside down, but only because you used peg B17 where you should have used peg B71. Once assembled, it is clean, stable, and works better than it has any right to. You immediately wonder whether you should have bought two. You buy a Japanese anvil. It arrives wrapped in rice paper inside a paulownia box, accompanied by a certificate bearing three generations of signatures and a photograph of the first production example being presented to the Emperor. The face has been hand-polished by a seventy-eight-year-old master whose family has made striking surfaces since the Muromachi period. You are given detailed instructions for oiling it with a cloth folded in a specific way. It is the most beautiful object you own. You never quite work up the nerve to strike it.

🚨🇮🇷 Iran's president called the IRGC's UAE strikes "completely irresponsible" and "madness"... Per Iran International, President Masoud Pezeshkian is reportedly furious that the Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps launched the missile and drone strikes on the UAE without the government's knowledge or coordination. Pezeshkian called the strategy of escalating with Iran's Gulf neighbors "madness" and warned of "potentially irreversible consequences." This is the most explicit confirmation yet that the IRGC is operating outside the Iranian government's control. Foreign Minister Araghchi negotiating in Pakistan while the IRGC seizes ships in Hormuz. Pezeshkian publicly calling for diplomacy while the IRGC publicly threatens to sink U.S. vessels. Now the IRGC striking Emirati targets without allegedly telling the Iranian president. Pezeshkian's framing matters. He's not criticizing tactics. He's calling the entire IRGC strategic posture "madness" and warning the consequences could be "irreversible." The civilian-IRGC split inside Iran is now the central variable in whether this war restarts or ends in negotiations. If Pezeshkian and Araghchi can wrest control back from the IRGC, a deal becomes possible. If the IRGC keeps acting unilaterally, Iran is going to be in another war regardless of what its negotiators say at the table. Source: Fox

🇺🇸🇮🇷 A reporter tells Trump to "go for the green" on Iran. His response: "I think you're going to be extremely happy when it all ends. It shouldn't be that long. We're trying to be nice." The only suspense left is whether he sticks the landing or shanks it into the bunker.

@VaubanBooks @martianwyrdlord Both the Camp of the Saints and the Pope’s reply are true. If 500 years of Western imperialism and war ends finally, migration will cease. Also, guilt migration and cultural mixing is NOT a solution, it’s madness.

"Imagining that they see Christ in the migrants, the priests endow them with the power to purify and save the West. It is a messianic, eschatological vision. But in their myopia, they turn their backs on their own flock." - Nathan Pinkoski, The Camp of the Saints
CALL TO ACTIVISM@CalltoActivism

Wow. The Pope was just asked his stance on migration. His answer is amazing: “I would change the question: what is the global North doing to help the global South in its situation that forces them to migrate.”

youtu.be/zia-lulyoxA?si… On Daniel Davis Deep Dive the lawyer Robert Barnes a good friend of JD Vance claims solid White House info that Trump has had dementia since last fall. That Trump has LOST mental control, rages, confabulates, has been kicked out of meetings in the Situation Room, and wanted to discuss the nuke codes to “finish” Iran but the military refused. Dementia is REAL. Barnes says Trump’s version is different from Biden’s. Trump’s dementia EXACERBATES his prior volatile temper, grandiosity and risky behavior. So put THIS in your equations.

I’ve seen this argument over and over. “You’re assuming that they are rational.” What is required for analytical purposes is a very weak form of rationality: the politician or the military man wants to win, wants an advantage; not that he is not going to make serious errors. More importantly, assuming irrationality is an analytical cul-de-sac. As a piece of rhetoric, it is no better than a get-out-of-jail-free card. What analytical purchase do you get by assuming any actor is irrational? To get analytical traction, you need a model of their irrationality. You can say that such and such is ideologically-motivated to do such and such. Eg, the Nazi regime poured scarce resources into the liquidation of European Jewry because it was consumed by the idea of a world Jewish conspiracy. My biggest disagreement with Gopal was precisely on this question of irrationality. Specifically, he was worried about US and/or Israeli first use. I explained that this worry was unwarranted. Not because the Bibi and Trump governments are rational, cunning actors; although they are. But rather because the threshold for first use is so high. At the minimum, the decision-maker must ask: what happens if we do this? how will the enemy respond? how will others respond? Can we get away with it? The answer to that is very clear. Iranian retaliation with dirty bombs on Tel Aviv cannot be prevented. Hormuz cannot be reopened by first use. The gulf cannot be saved in the event of first use. A great depression becomes a certainty with first use. The end of Israeli nuclear monopoly in the region becomes a certainty with first use. The use of nuclear weapons in Ukraine becomes a live possibility. Diplomatic isolation becomes a virtual certainty with first use. It’s not a solution, and certainly creates a lot more problems than it solves. In order to argue that first use was a real possibility, you need to provide a picture whereby the decision maker considers first use to be the least bad option in a difficult situation. Fighting for a bully boner does not cut it. There is a reason why all attempts at nuclear coercion have failed. There is not a single case, just as there is no case of a state capitulating under aerial bombardment. To his credit, by the time we finished the whiskey, Gopal came around.
BAT@bashmturk

@policytensor @misentr0pe Correct, but you are assuming Trump and all those in his orbit are rational actors. While there may be some in his orbit that are rational, it's not a guarantee that their influence wins out.

Day 1: I am a military genius and we're going to crush Iran in two hours Day 37: look, bananas are great. I love bananas. Pete loves bananas, too. By the, way I am Caligula. Ca-li-gu-la. Have you heard about Caligula? His uncle used to make the best bread in Manhattan. Do you remember his uncle, Erica? Where is Erica? Probably grieving. Yes, she's grieving. No one has ever seen such grieving. By the way, if it wasn't for me there would be no Hellenic temples in Iraq. I made the geometry. No one understands geometry better than I do. And everybody says 'Caligula, how is Melania doing'? They all love her so much. And I say 'fine, she, fine'. She's always fine. Never met Epstein once, did you know that? I mean, who is Epstein anyway? Pete, have you ever heard of a guy called Epstein? They say he had something to do with Caligula? Did he invent bananas, Pete? I need a banana

To whom it may concern, I stand here for five hours straight to get 15 liters of water, which isn't enough to last me until the end of the day. I'm fed up with this life. I wish I were dead instead of being here. My suffering is worsening, and the world looks at us without seeing us as human beings. If you’re scrolling, PLEASE leave a dot . it's just a dot.
