What seems most probable: Trump has not engaged in any real "productive conversations" with Iran -- with whom would he be conversing at the moment? -- and is just artificially buoying the markets for a bit

@john_mcguirk A reasonable strategy would be localised renewables, eg properties running on their own solar panels, alongside a secure system that steps up when needed But that means winning the economic argument in the marketplace, unsurprisingly the central planners didn't like that option

This is happening in Ireland, too. We are just a few years behind. It's a choice. It is not even a secret choice, just one people were not paying attention to: The whole idea is that you become poorer and consume less. That is the foundational idea behind environmental ideology.
Sam Bowman@s8mb

The Dutch recently started producing more electricity from renewables than from fossil fuels. The electricity grid is now so overloaded at peak times that the country's housing minister is warning that people can no longer use their washing machines "whenever they want".

92% of "MAGA Republicans" still support the Iran war. Sure, there may be some who identified as MAGA Republicans in the past, but no longer do. But in the main, Trump's coalition is a hardcore pro-war coalition, that just happened to employ some clever propaganda tactics in 2024

Does welfare include state pensions? I think it does you disingenuous tit. In fact unemployment benefits are roughly 1% of what we spend on state pensions. We can see what you're trying to do here. Wanker.
Matthew Elliott@matthew_elliott

The Government will collect £331bn in income tax this year, and spend £333bn on welfare. In other words, we now spend more on people not working than we raise from those who do. And the cost? Debt per person has risen from £11.5k in 2000 (inflation adjusted) to over £41k today.

Just 3 days ago Trump was awfully concerned about the “pallets of cash” sent to Iran a decade ago, but is now going to give them nearly 10x that amount in the middle of a war. Clown show doesn’t begin to describe it.
Treasury Secretary Scott Bessent@SecScottBessent

Iran is the head of the snake for global terrorism, and through President Trump’s Operation Epic Fury, we are winning this critical fight at an even faster pace than anticipated. In response to Iran’s terrorist attacks against global energy infrastructure, the Trump Administration will continue to deploy America’s economic and military might to maximize the flow of energy to the world, strengthen global supply, and seek to ensure market stability. Today, the Department of the Treasury is issuing a narrowly tailored, short-term authorization permitting the sale of Iranian oil currently stranded at sea. At present, sanctioned Iranian oil is being hoarded by China on the cheap. By temporarily unlocking this existing supply for the world, the United States will quickly bring approximately 140 million barrels of oil to global markets, expanding the amount of worldwide energy and helping to relieve the temporary pressures on supply caused by Iran. In essence, we will be using the Iranian barrels against Tehran to keep the price down as we continue Operation Epic Fury. This temporary, short-term authorization is strictly limited to oil that is already in transit and does not allow new purchases or production. Further, Iran will have difficulty accessing any revenue generated and the United States will continue to maintain maximum pressure on Iran and its ability to access the international financial system. So far, the Trump Administration has been working to bring around 440 million additional barrels of oil to the global market, undercutting Iran’s ability to leverage its disruptions in the Strait of Hormuz. President Trump’s pro-energy agenda has driven U.S. oil and gas production to record levels, strengthening energy security and lowering fuel costs. Any short-term disruption now will ultimately translate into longer-term economic gains for Americans – because there is no prosperity without security.

Trump says he and Israel "more or less" want the same thing: "victory." So perhaps he sees his interests as converging with those of Israel, and didn't need to be "tricked" or "deceived" into taking any offensive military action

Hegseth says today, March 19, will be "the largest strike package yet" of the entire war, just like yesterday, March 18, was also the largest to that point. Trump said on March 14: "We have already destroyed 100% of Iran’s Military capability" So what are they still bombing?

@antiantioedipe @Sargon_of_Akkad Carl believes that online circus acts are reflective of real life, its fundamental to his belief that Restore have a genuine shot of doing anything Conceding on their irrelevance logically flows to Rupert's X numbers being utterly meaningless, which is too painful to accept

@Sargon_of_Akkad Booting Tucker (& entourage), Megyn, Candace, and Fuentes? How is that nothing but positive development? Sure, this means JD Vance can kiss his presidential ambitions goodbye, but so what.

@afneil that last question was woeful surely it'd be better to ask whether ending the conflict now, with Mojtaba / current regime in place, is a fair deal for reopening the strait

He wants to deploy UK forces we don’t have to keep oil and gas flowing 3,000 miles away but forbids any new investment in our sector of the North Sea. Bonkers.
