@TyrantOppressor I think people don’t respect and understand the struggle India has to deal with of managing a complex democratic society that is the largest on earth wirh deep complex ancient and modern issues. I think they see what they want to see and choose to see poverty and assume choice.

@BrumeMofeDamijo @MarioNawfal Yeah. the gulf strategy is flood market with cheaper to produce better quality oil, and USA is to constrain oil and raise price of oil to make their lower quality expensive to produce and good quality expensive to frack oil profitable. USA prefer it to be in a sweet spot of 80$
English

@MarioNawfal Numbers don’t lie… power follows production. The top three are not just producing oil, they’re shaping the game.
English

Insane way of portraying how much oil each country produces. Numbers and "heights" are shocking.
If you look at the top 3, you start to understand who benefits most from this war
🇺🇸U.S over 20M
🇸🇦Saudi over 11M (cannot 100% export atm)
🇷🇺Russia over 10M

🇺🇸🇮🇷 Jake Sullivan on Iran: “A broken Iran is less of a threat to Israel… [but to the U.S.] it means a broken global economy” Same situation, different priorities.

@0xMaximus_Kek @mymonkey0000 @MarioNawfal Only if they could supply the whole
Planet, and for cheaper than the current methods, could they realistically subsidize gas prices at the pumps. The usa makes tons of money but it is more likely to fund the war machine, they tax the pump and sell oil highest bidder
English

@mymonkey0000 @MarioNawfal Indeed. I don't understand either. You'd think we would be set and gas prices cheap. Wtf
English

@mymonkey0000 @MarioNawfal They don’t need to get the oil, they just need to make the world not trust the gulf strait or irán oil as reliable and jack the price of oil up. That makes them more money per barrel and forces countries to buy USA crude oil. Gulf oil is only 5-15$ a barrel cost to produce.
English

@mymonkey0000 @MarioNawfal USA produces the most oil but it focuses on the bottleneck of difficult ti refine heavy crude and difficult to pump shale light sweet crude. This means USA needs oil to be above 60$ a barrel to be truly profitable. Higher the price, the more they have advantage.

@MbarkCherguia Who cares, many American foods are eating by hand. India has flavour. Imagine spending your life not experiencing flavour.

@Azure_Myst @HellArn__ @Foreman1David @elbichobichejo @iAnonPatriot I know. Until the gold flowed in, then was released and even honoured in the courts as a hero. But Spanish were very different from the British and French and Portuguese. They were, in my opinion, the least destructive culturally to the populations and wanted integration the most
English

@elderbeef @HellArn__ @Foreman1David @elbichobichejo @iAnonPatriot isabella the catholic banned slavery when the first expedition returned, even punishing columbus for having allowed such acts
English

@Azure_Myst @HellArn__ @Foreman1David @elbichobichejo @iAnonPatriot Never heard of these black or pink legends but sounds culty... What does English or USA have to do with anything? they were even worse. I’ve never read any “US” history on the Spanish. There are tons of people that have real oral and written histories living across the Americas.
English

@elderbeef @HellArn__ @Foreman1David @elbichobichejo @iAnonPatriot everything they teach in the usa about the spanish arrival in america is a false narrative to whitewash all the atrocities committed by the english.
it's called the black legend for a reason

@Farshidi0m @StateDept … The states has over 500 million Civilian guns. They could do a gun drive and drone release guns all over the streets with hopeful messages attached. (Not actually serious) already enough death. Hopefully people can find a resolution that brings lasting peace.
English

The people of Iran are fully ready to overthrow the Islamic Republic today. Repressive forces are threatening civilians with military-grade weapons in the streets and are prepared to kill protesters. If the US and Israeli forces eliminate these repressive units, the Iranian people will bravely take to the streets and seize the cities.

@AULaw24 @Mahesh10816 @talk_2_ankit The relevance of these or something similar will actually be restored with drone swarms as floating islands capable of docking and launching huge amounts of drones, and can have cheap effective drone interceptor nets at different layers of distance around the ship
English

No, it hasn’t …that’s ridiculous
but it has kept them at a distance and you have to remember that the aircraft carrier became the centerpiece of the United States Navy in World War II but it’s primary job was to win naval battles. Did it provide support during the island hopping campaign …of course it did. It was floating airbase and when the target was an island it was effective. In addition during the Korean and Vietnam wars they were convenient weapon platforms as floating airbases as well - because neither of those conflicts involved countries that had the weapons or will to try to attack American aircraft carriers at sea.
But the times have changed. Even little pipsqueak countries can strike aircraft carriers at a distance where their strike faighter squadron are effective and then comes the cost effectiveness issue. At the end of it all the “pointy end“ of the entire carrier strike group is 3 to 4 squadrons of strike fighters. At least one of those squadrons is going to be partly down for repairs or assigned as a reserve squadron and/or up on combat air patrol or ready alert. That leaves you at the maximum with three squad in a strike fighters to bring the war home to the enemy. That’s just not what the carrier was originally designed to do and if you look at the contribution of carriers to the war on Japan at the end of 1945 they were helpful but not necessary when it came to attacking the Japanese Home Islands. So now essentially, we view them still as these massive pieces of power projection went quite frankly three squad ends of F/A 18s just isn’t a war winning tool. And of course, in the meantime, their escorts can be run out of defensive weaponry very very quickly by countries the 15 years ago didn’t even have the weapons to consider doing that at the range of which of the carrier would operated an optimal level(being able to strike targets without air to air refueling)
So when you look at the cost of building these things - the relatively small punch that they carry (and the fact that a very good portion of the rest of your surface warfare units are there to protect aircraft carriers to deliver that relatively small punch) they just make a very poor investment for a huge naval budget.
Until we develop directed energy air and missile defense weapons that actually works all the time against every level of threat, I don’t see a real place for surface warfare units of any kind as instruments of major force projection against enemy nations. Do we still need them for war at sea? Yes, but probably not a carrier based Navy anymore.
New under sea warfare technology is where naval war will be won or lost and quite frankly a large enough submarine can carry a hell of a lot of striking power. When you start looking at the problems, the US had off of Yemen you can really understand how things have changed.

@elderbeef @ent_socal @FoodPleaser What dumbass stupid shit is this? You must have an IQ of 10. I'm losing IQ points talking with you. You don't even have your picture as your profile picture. You must be ugly as a shit too.

@Richard90Ti Realistically we are dumbing trillions into things that explode into pieces that damage trillions of dollars of assets and cost trillions to clean up and restore. How can anything win. Aside from robot apocalyptic elites from handing out future tickets to life. Too many mouths.
English

@elderbeef So basically we are funding a high stakes fireworks show while the rest of us skip lunch. Is there any sector that actually benefits from this logic besides Lockheed?

@bindass_ladki @narendramodi Most important thing is we all
Have to end all war. Before technology destroys us all and we destroy what resources are left
English

@bindass_ladki @narendramodi The fear of politically weaponizing the death of children is that incapable militaries out of touch with the everyday citizen will aggravate superior military’s and leverage child deaths for global support. Incentivizing child death, everyone donates more money… condemns, etc.

Received a call from President Trump and had a useful exchange of views on the situation in West Asia. India supports de-escalation and restoration of peace at the earliest. Ensuring that the Strait of Hormuz remains open, secure and accessible is essential for the whole world. We agreed to stay in touch regarding efforts towards peace and stability.
