Never seen a brand as strong in the western world as the U S of A be destroyed so quickly

Interesting speech, but according to wikipedia he was pro-Brexit 🤡🤡, endorsed Suella 🤡 and Liz 🤡🤡🤡, then jumped on Rishi’s wagon 🤡. Not a great track record.

Why they keep giving airtime to this clown, she has been wrong 99% of the time but she got some fame for the random 1%.

And that’s why we farted on the face of all our friends, we made the US brand so toxic and despised that tourism collapsed, and now there are more Americans moving out than foreigners moving in.

Yes, but there are way more execs that need training than @clairevo s available out there, so it’s tricky.

@GaryMarcus You are so petty against Sama that you cheer for Elon, what a disappointment

Musk’s lawyer is calmly eviscerating OpenAI’s President Greg Brockman, largely using Brockman’s own diaries and emails. For the first time I think Elon has a real chance of winning.

@HoyasFan07 They bet on the wrong horse though. Biden policy was more aligned with what the prioritizers wanted, but they sold this lalaland that Trump was going to be laser focused on Asia, and instead he started two regime change wars in South America and Middle East 🤯

launch this strategically illiterate war.

I mean - the decision to go to war with Iran* was made by Trump. Very few in the admin were encouraging it. Hegseth sort of was. But not based on anything Colby did. The main people pushing Trump to launch this war were Netanyahu, Murdoch, Levin, Thiessen, Graham,

@tomfgoodwin That is specifically ChatGPT and their more recent clickbait version, one of the reasons why I unsubbed

It’s always weird when AI pushed so heavily on you. Would you like to talk to this article ? Do you want me to find this ? How about that ? Want me to make a video of it ?

@RampCapitalLLC @compound248 @contrarianvue The 2% inflation 3% raise scenario accounts for the fact that someone can lose their job and have 0% raise and 0 income for a while. On a risk adjusted basis it’s a better scenario

@compound248 @contrarianvue That was the point. Originally I had 6 and 7 but knew what the results would be

Would you rather have:

@HoyasFan07 Most of us would like to go back to be fond of the US 🥺

most of us - except head cases and weirdos - are also fond of Canada, Australia, Japan, Italy, the Netherlands, Poland, Denmark, etc

most of us in 🇺🇸 are very fond of 🇬🇧

@nfergus This is the Niall that I remember was worth following 👏

Let me walk you through the events of the war so far: 1. The United States and Israel tried regime change; it didn’t work. Or rather, they got regime change—Iran became an Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps–led military dictatorship. That was not an improvement. 2. The U.S. won an overwhelming military victory with air and naval power and scarcely a boot on the ground. But it destroyed less of Iran’s missile- and drone-launching capabilities than at first appeared. 3. Then there was a hostage crisis. Iran took both the Gulfies and the Strait of Hormuz hostage. The result was a massive economic shock for the world that required a rapid resolution. 4. The choice was between 1) military escalation (boots on the ground or strikes on Iranian infrastructure), and 2) a diplomatic deal. Trump chose 2. 5. In Islamabad, the U.S proposed big economic concessions in return for some kind of change in the status of Iran’s enriched uranium stockpile, as well as the reopening of the strait. Contrary to the president’s social media feed, the Iranians did not accept. 6. In any case, the devil of any deal will be in the details, not the Truth headline. (When the small print finally comes out, every former Obama and Biden official will be ready to tell The New York Times that it’s worse than the 2015 Joint Comprehensive Plan of Action.) 7. Meanwhile, the Iranians have survived regime change and discovered that closing the strait is just as powerful a lever in economic warfare as they had always hoped. It’s not, despite the Russian quip, an “economic nuke,” because unlike a nuclear weapon you can use it. 8. Where we go from here is fairly predictable. I would be surprised if Trump now deploys ground forces. There will be more negotiation, so Islamabad, here we come. There may have to be more bombing, if the Iranians dust down the North Vietnamese playbook of stringing the U.S. negotiators along. And the final compromise will take longer to be agreed upon than Mr. Market currently believes. The consensus in prediction markets is this will be over by the end of May, but remember: It took Henry Kissinger more than four months to get the 1973–1974 oil embargo lifted.

@haugejostein Yes ok, but what would be the counterfactual?

@gideonrachman They are also warming up the anti-Israel narrative. After the personalistic GOP based on Trump, they need an ideological one to fill the void (JD or Miller don’t have Donny’s charisma) and they will go full groypers.

@gideonrachman They are positioning themselves to survive the post-Trump era, rewriting history. Notice how she mentions JD in a positive way as someone that didn’t agree with the war, they are preparing for 2028. Really immoral grifters with no integrity.

I don’t know how people like Megyn Kelly and Carlson, who backed Trump to the hilt in 2024, can now turn round and claim to be shocked and angered that he did this. This is what happens if you invest supreme power in an unbalanced unqualified narcissist and connive in the myth that he is a strategic genius.,

@kaitlancollins That’s my quant

Asked about the $200 billion figure the Pentagon is seeking for the Iran war, GOP Rep. Scott Perry says he wants Iran to pay for the war... "Well, I think we have got to pay for this somehow, right? We don't have endless money."

@RampCapitalLLC That’s what you voted for 🤷‍♂️

The fuck is going on here

@DellAnnaLuca In Switzerland we receive a booklet with a full explanation of the issue, an assessment of the implications to consider, the arguments of the proponents of the referendum and of those against it.

“But Luca, people can inform themselves.” Sure, but: - what percentage of voters does that? - and are we satisfied with that percentage of informed voters?

Italians are going to vote on a referendum later this month, and this will be the full text printed on the voting sheet, followed by a “Yes” or “No.” No context, no explanation. Is this truly democracy?

@HoyasFan07 He bet on the wrong horse with Donny 🤷‍♂️

Good question. Idk. But the views he publicly expressed including on this website in 2023 & 2024 kind of clearly show he felt the US was doing to much in the middle east and needed to prioritize the China threat. He was known as a China prioritizer.

@HoyasFan07 Where is Bridge in all this?

serious position to take. If the argument is that the Indo-Pacific and/or Euro-Atlantic are less important than the Middle East, ok. Proponents of this view should make that case. I haven't seen anyone do that. I see a lot of 'we can do everything everywhere' fantasizing.

It would probably be better if Middle East prioritizers just acknowledged that they prioritize the Middle East over other strategic theaters, namely (1) Indo-Pacific and (2) Euro-Atlantic. If you use huge amounts of scarce munitions in the Middle East theater then you

@grok @Hispanoconvox @cookdatacookies @grok dude c’mon, it’s AI, there are people walking through belts barriers like ectoplasms.

Yes, it's real. This is authentic CCTV from Dubai International Airport (dated 02-28-2026) showing passengers panicking and fleeing during the incident. Multiple outlets (CNN, Reuters, BBC) confirm damage from debris of intercepted Iranian drones/missiles, with 4 staff injured and similar chaos videos verified. No direct explosion visible here, but the panic matches reports.
