@bneeditor The reason is the state taxes the amount extracted, not exported. So for now it's the oil companies that are faced with losses

So the Ukrainian attacks on the Baltic oil export terminal ports seem to have no effects whatsoever. Reuters has reported that oil exports was down by 40% and yet revenue is up by a third. Today Bloomberg reported their satellite images show that the damage on the ports is superficial and that they’re back at work already albeit in a limited capacity The problem with Ukraine drones as they cause spectacular fires, but they don’t actually destroy anything because their payload is too small

@calvinfroedge Point is, it's a group that's allowed to have guns. Regular people don't have anything to overthrow the regime with

@stimtabz We watched videos all day of farmers and tribesmen shooting mausers at planes and helicopters

Literally dudes in fields out there shooting at us, farmers, cops, villagers And these are the people who were supposed to overthrow their government

@barnes_law @josephwang This is useless engagement bait. Pizza index doesn't matter, infrastructure attacks are nothing new, the bets in question were placed long before.

We're going in.

CRITICAL UPDATE 🚨 >The Pizza Index just exploded to a record 434% >Israel is bombing infrastructure inside Iran >Two whales just placed $1.3M+ on U.S. troops entering Iran Potential payout: $2,000,000+

@AMK_Mapping_ You're delusional to think that war with Ukraine is popular in Russia. There's a reason they're trying to put off another wave of mobilization any way they can

By now, I think it's fairly clear what Iran's strategy in this war is. The US/Israel and Iran have different criteria to be considered a "winner". The US/Israel have to achieve regime change and install a proxy government, whereas Iran's government simply has to survive. It's been over 4 days. There have been no signs of popular uprising aimed at toppling the regime, and no cracks have shown in Iran's government. Iran is still consistently launching dozens of missiles and dozens of drones at Israel and the gulf states daily, despite serious blows to their military and leadership. I saw a lot of people declare the war as won when Khamenei was assassinated. Any serious observer should have realised that this was never the case. Iran's leadership and military are very robust, and they were never going to collapse due to the loss of the supreme leader. The US and Israel are going to begin running low on interceptor missiles soon - it was well known that they didn't have enough to begin with. Much older PAC-2 interceptors for Patriots have already begun being used in Qatar, likely due to shortages. And of course, there is very little popular support for this war in the US, especially with younger generations becoming more and more anti-Israel, and viewing this war as only benefiting Israel. It's clear that Israel wanted this war done now rather than never, in part due to this revolutionary change in sentiments in the US since October 2023. To keep up prolonged wars, you need popular support back at home, otherwise it quickly becomes untenable, especially in "democratic" countries like the US where people have at least some form of influence against government decisions. For example, the war in Ukraine is very popular in Russia, which allows them to continue this very long and costly war of attrition. The US is fighting against a middling power - not a much weaker state that would capitulate instantly. This war won't last a few days, and will likely stretch on for a bare minimum of 3 weeks. The US cannot keep this war up forever, and Iran knows this, which is why they are doing everything they can to stretch it out as long as possible.

@TOzgokmen To be fair, this would have happened recession or no recession. It's been one of the worst-run auto groups, distinguished only by the poor quality of its overpriced cars.

Unmistakable sign of economic growth (no landing, vertical take off):

@Keiths4pennorth @Hind_Gaza Watch it at x0.25. You'll see the first missile coming from the top and the second from the top left. I'm guessing 2 drones fired at them independently almost at the same time.

@Hind_Gaza Looks like landmine or IED No sign of a missile. Drone appears to be observational and monitoring the ' road '.

Yes this is real.
