@DenverBritto @glcarlstrom They're very rich, they're going to invest in their defensive and offensive capabilities. In a world in which armies don't actually fight the number of drones, missiles and lasers (to defend against drones) is what matters, not number of soldiers. The GCC can defeat Iran that way

@glcarlstrom They're just going to have to live with an armed Iran and make their peace with that reality.

This is true: "What alarms Gulf Arab states most is that while Iranian missiles, drones and proxies have repeatedly attacked their region, negotiations are increasingly framed almost exclusively around Hormuz because of its global economic impact."
But also hard to see how you solve it in a deal. A cap on the range of Iranian missiles wouldn't help Gulf states that are ~200km away, and there's no universe in which Iran is going to negotiate away its drone arsenal (nor could such a provision be credibly verified and enforced).
I've asked people in several Gulf countries this month to describe a realistic US-Iran deal that addresses their concerns, and they all said there wasn't one reuters.com/business/energ…

"New reports from today indicate that this Indian tanker fell for a fake IRGC crypto scam. They paid USDT to the scammers, thinking they could now pass through freely, and got shot at by the real IRGC forces."

Audio of the Indian oil tanker Sanmar Herald pleading with Iranian forces to stop shooting at it in the Strait of Hormuz this morning.

Latin America is now aging faster than ANY region in the world. Chile has a lower birthrate than even Japan. What is going on?

@zerohedge Could've gone there, you know, Trump you were alive during that war and could be drafted or volunteered. I know some guys who volunteered during Vietnam. You were not one of them.

@hashjenni This is an American thing. Germans called Angela. Merkel just Merkel.

@pitt_urban It's a language convention for China that precedes most know styles of Romanization (Wade Giles, pinyin) since it was the original romanization. It was started by Jesuits.
English
@pitt_urban The Portuguese used their own spelling for every civilization they encountered during their voyages in the 15th and 16th century. It's an approximation of the pronunciation, sometimes not correct, but which makes sense in Portuguese. Sh and h don't exist as sounds in the language

wtf why do you guys spell Shanghai like that

@_greywithin Soft heart for people he can kind of accept, like Mark. For people he's racist against, like Oliver, he showed no mercy.

It’s evident that if Thragg had lived on earth and had a wife and kids, he’d would have grown softer than Nolan. Even in his monstrous form, bro still shows a soft heart and empathy.

@PythonMaps Not so round anymore. Would it stay that way if all water evaporated?

@normposterfan @mercoglianos Don't they deserve a trial before they get the death sentence?

@mercoglianos Because it's quicker and better to blow them up? You want to pay for their food and shelter for the next 20 years?

Meanwhile, let's not forget that the US is conducting these operations off South America.
Still not clear, why these boats are not being stopped and inspected.
U.S. Southern Command@Southcom
On April 19, at the direction of #SOUTHCOM commander Gen. Francis L. Donovan, Joint Task Force Southern Spear conducted a lethal kinetic strike on a vessel operated by Designated Terrorist Organizations. Intelligence confirmed the vessel was transiting along known narco-trafficking routes in the Caribbean and was engaged in narco-trafficking operations. Three male narco-terrorists were killed during this action. No U.S. military forces were harmed. @DeptofWar #OpSouthernSpear

@thomas_je43740 @vali_nasr This basically means the ayatollahs and the IRGC surrender to be hanged by the population. You understand why the IRGC would have some reticence to do that ? Dead one way, dead another, they hang on to the fighting chance they have.

What’s left of a regime in Iran is the problem. Trump is very clear- Iran will have NO NUKES.
And their proxies are finished.
What they need is a pivot- become a responsible state actor. Stop killing their people, stop threatening their neighbours and global shipping. In short- STOP BEING A TERRORIST STATE .
English
Araghchi’s tweet reflected an understanding in Tehran, likely based on what they heard from Pakistan, that if they took a positive step by opening Strait of Hormuz, US would reciprocate by lifting the blockade. But Trump kept the blockade in place, and through his many tweets, suggested that Iran was surrendering on the nuclear issue.
This has only fed Iran’s suspicions about Trump and that Islamabad like Geneva is a diplomatic ruse before another military attack. The door to diplomacy is not closed, but it has now become considerably more difficult. Deliberately or not, Trump has undermined diplomacy and raised likelihood of more war.

@TankerTrackers I thought the US had A10 warthogs to destroy these. I guess they are on a break during the ceasefire

Here's how Iran controls the Strait of Hormuz, and there are thousands of them.

@microslop1010 @ianbremmer Iranian economy isn't immune to bombing and the US blockade. Both sides are being damaged in the economic war.
English
@ianbremmer Why do IRGC need to negotiate now.
They control Hormuz. They wait 6 months and world economy collapses then US gives them the 10 pts.
They concede now, and US/Israel return to 'Mow the Lawn' after they have new platforms to counter Iran assymetric drone dominance.
English
the iranian government—the hardliners included—have every reason to engage in talks with the united states that extends the ceasefire.
implementing an agreement is another matter.

It's funny how powerful Space Racer is but he is unable to breathe in space like some any random characters in Invincible

@_greywithin Space doesn't freeze outright. There's no air to conduct heat out of a body. In the end heat is dissipated through a very slow process. If they had the monsters in ice during the voyage and unfroze them in the ship and then just left to Viltrum, they'd be OK
English
so lemme get this straight, Nolan put a disc in front of the Rognarrs sun and they immediately got frozen but they didn’t freeze in the vacuum of space, how ? 😂

What’s the biggest flaw In Invincible that people ignore?

@zerohedge Iranian TV tells a different story, all ships must coordinate with IRGC . Also Araghchi said the strait was open while Lebanon ceasefire held.

@Jesse_Brenneman Calvinism has almost 500 years if history, how much do they want?

I have to admit I'm fascinated by the sort of Protestantizing/Evangelicalism of Catholicism that seems to be happening on the Right, in part because it makes so much sense in hindsight. The appeal of mainline Protestantism to many is that it's personal and individual, you do you, but the Right simultaneously craves hierarchy, validation, and historical heft. They want to be a free agent who is also part of a powerful, important, ancient tradition but that also requires nothing of them.
