After leaving OPEC, the UAE can now freely increase its oil production, thanks to the Fujairah Pipeline that bypasses the Strait of Hormuz. The Emirates had planned and developed this independent export route for years, enabling it to add up to 2 million barrels per day. A strategic game-changer in global oil markets that could help break the grip of high prices 😎

I'm not an "own the libs" guy -- in fact, I am the polar opposite of such people and I especially hate that genre of social media -- but very few things make left wingers madder than pointing out, correctly, that Nazism was a virulently anti-capitalist, pro-socialist movement.

Find someone who was warning us about Tucker Carlson 2 years ago and thank them. They took a ton of arrows for it back then.

Anita Sarkeesian on the male gaming audience: "Some male gamers with a deep sense of entitlement are terrified of change. They believe games should continue to cater exclusively to young heterosexual men with ever more extreme virtual power fantasies." Did she blame men for her own failures?

Is there anything more depressing than left wing architecture?

I don't think many people in the West understand how terrifying [for them], a cornered China would be. China has: 🔹53% of the world's steel production. 🔹33% of electricity generation. 🔹50% of world shipbuilding capacity. 🔹90% of the world's rare Earth mineral processing capacity. Along with our friends on the Eurasian landmass, like Russia and Central Asia; China will have complete economic autarky during a total war mobilization running on a total war economy. Tens of millions of mobilized troops, hundreds of millions of mobilized workers with a robotic-dense manufacturing ecosystem. The bigger the war, the more important it is to win on the factory floor. In that sense, China has already won any total war scenario before actually going to war. The US wars and operations against Iran and Venezuela, is to skirt on the periphery of Chinese interests, but as soon as our core interests is irrevocably infringed upon, like a situation causing reunification through peaceful means with Taiwan becomes unattainable. Then war will be the only option. When that happens, a total war scenario will be beneficial than a localized military operation. What the US is doing through Japan, is the first sign of the world slipping into that eventuality, most Chinese will gladly make them the first sacrificial lamb in a Taiwan scenario.

Ben Rhodes, who will be involved in the group along with Jake Sullivan, said the group's "two most interesting projects to think about are the pipeline of people who might work on campaigns and populate a Democratic administration, and then the ideas that can form a progressive or Democratic foreign policy going forward." (Axios) Jake Sullivan, a co-founder of the group, was a key architect of President Biden’s Israel-Palestine policy that involved continuing to supply Israel with heavy bombs and munitions throughout the genocide — even as Israel continued to indiscriminately bomb schools and areas it designated as “safe” and ordered Palestinians to move to, imposed a months-long total siege on Gaza that drove catastrophic hunger—including an official UN-backed monitor declaring famine in the territory—causing scores of innocent civilians, including children, to starve to death.
