@bonzerbarry @Yo_Soy_Patricio Isn't it just the case that US wants to deescalate, Iran doesn't want to play ball, so we simply wait to see if Israel or Iran continue hostilities

@Yo_Soy_Patricio It's been an endless deluge of claims and counterclaims and I'm trying to triangulate what the fuck is actually happening.

This is most annoying day of covering the war so far.

@GjMcGowan Not sure commodification of sex and subsequent impact on relationships is ‘respectable’ but ok

A shame. A great man. Responsible for much tax revenue.

people don’t understand… He just flaked on his ultimatum. This is the signal. The pretext (negotiations) and the denials are the noise.
Trump undermined his own deterrence because the cost was too high. This is an opening to get something done
KKGB@INArteCarloDoss
I don’t care what people will say about him being a TACO chicken. This is the right thing to do. This war has to stop. Good on him to have understood that much.
English
@s8mb I don't think that demonstrates a particularly deep understanding of this war, Sam - the Iranians are not behaving like eschatological fundamentalists. On the contrary, it's the Americans blowing up the world economy for no apparent strategic reason. Iran is being highly rational
English
The US President usually deals with rational counterparts against whom irrational behaviour can often work fairly well (if at a long-term cost). But I worry that what works against Eurocrats and kleptocrats will not work so well with eschatological Islamic fundamentalists.

@RossKempsell Quite a predictable outcome given what Israel is doing in the Middle East. Plenty more to come

Politicians need to be clear about what this is: an antisemitic terror attack in which it was lucky no one was killed

@WorkMJ It’s obviously none of those things? He obviously is just targeting him for being American

Unsure if Marvin thinks Jacob is low IQ and inbred because Jacob is 1. French, 2. Grew up in Europe, or 3. Jewish. Not a good look.

@MDC12345678 There’s an economic crisis coming regardless, even for the USA

We are beyond prices. This about keeping the lights on.
Bob Ward@ret_ward
This is wrong. More drilling in the North Sea will not generate enough production to affect international prices of oil and gas, and will not cut the bills of British consumers. Time for you to be straight with the public.
English
The people responsible for Britain losing two decades after 2010 will soon tell you that what we really need is cuts to public spending, and tax cuts for the wealthy too, of course.
Just unserious: it’s not about spending more, or less. We need to now be thinking like a developing country: cheap energy, cheap housing, development of human capital, technological autonomy, food and energy security.
Anyone whose idea of ‘supply side reform’ being the same as cutting corporation tax is presently as useful as an umbrella in a hurricane.

@AscendedYield I think they probably mean are they bombing direct, flying elsewhere to station then bombing, who are they bombing, all that
English
@ripplebrain @JucheRespecter Can you elaborate on how USA has ‘centralized tech and finance’ in Israel ?
English
"If you thought putting all our semiconductor manufacturing just 80 miles off the coast of our chief geopolitical rival's mainland was crazy, allow me to introduce centralizing tech and finance in a country that starts a war on its own borders once a year and gets hit with an MRBM every 6 to 8 hours"

> They will also suffer economically but think it's worth it. not necessarily. Israel can become a safe haven for capital (regionally or even globally), and gain bigly. Not to mention the degradation of their enemies reduces risk. TYSE is still doing great! time to invest

@boys_nicholas Read the comments it’s a joke. Plenty think like that though
English
Joke? Not joke? The irony is too deep for me or too shallow.

@PositivFuturist It is responsible for growth because is it responsible for energy policy. Entrepreneurs don’t decide how much energy costs

I just want conservation area lighting, more red squirrels and wild beaver, and to scrap student fees for nursing.
I think you’re getting confused with a section of the right buying into infinity war and refugees via MAGA, and blind support for Israel.
Philip Cunliffe@thephilippics
The Left has an interest in keeping the global intifada rolling because without it, the electoral alliance that underpins France Insoumise, Polanski's Greens, etc. - that is, an alliance bwn a reactionary Muslim voter bloc and a wet liberal middle class bloc - will fall apart.
English
Arguably the most successful Liberal leader since Lloyd George.
Liberalism needs a major ideological overhaul across the West. Neoliberalism, DEI identity politics and the managerial class have made it ridiculous.
Instead - this.

@AaronBastani True, but it has also exposed which people on the right have at least some measure of common sense
English
We can’t have nice things in Britain because some guy in Sweden opposes the bombing of world heritage sites in Iran.
MAGA-brain and social media is killing lots of the right. Just word salad.
David Paxton@DavidDPaxton
Just read his bio. This is why we can’t have nice things. The institutions and qualifications which sensibles insist we put faith in, are increasingly worthless.

@AaronBastani I think the affection for the eccentric will return once we have regained some genuine belief in the competence of our politicians
English
Think Hannah Spencer is quite smart, personally. But has own style, sure.
One of charming things about English conservatism was its ease, even affection, for eccentricity. English liberalism was same. Mill saw it as hallmark of a confident society.
Maybe we aren’t that anymore!

@AlexBalexCalexD @AaronBastani @KMooreGilbert Nah I totally agree, fucking with Iran is a terrible move morally and strategically, it was just a comment about bastani’s stance on Iran, might be unfounded idk
English
@jackoreillyj @AaronBastani @KMooreGilbert plenty of countries I dnt like or dnt like many things about, that also don't think wd be improved by having fire rained upon them, their civil institutions & infrastructure obliterated, politicians extrajudicially assassinated by a foreign power, & their children murdered… hbu?
