@Jkylebass October 11-24 2024 is my window for Taiwan. Find low tide close to sunrise and you have your day. Let’s hope I’m wrong.

@MartinSkold2 Currency devaluations are masked by asset “bubbles” except everything inflates in nominal value, not just the tulips. People expect the bubble to burst but it doesn’t because it never occurred to begin with. Asset owners maintain PP, debtors get richer, everyone else loses out
English
Stock markets in failing currencies fail -up-, not down.
People think they’re getting richer. If they have a lot of debt, they may be - otherwise not so much.

@MartinSkold2 Maybe a better way to put it is I wish I could read today’s historians write about it as if it happened 2000 ago

@sweethomertr If the people pushing AI have their way, there may not be any, and/or they may not be people, and/or they may well not have sources to work with.

Well, until the markets reopen. Or something.
QE Infinity@StealthQE4
So it’s over now? For real? I’m so confused 🤦♂️
English
@MartinSkold2 I’m sure they have ways to replenish somewhat, but I can’t imagine them having either the missiles or launchers to truly do that when they couldn’t even pull it off a year plus ago when all this started with Israel. That or they have Buddhist level restraint.
English
The truth is we just don’t know. Iran at this point has fired more missiles than even expansive prewar estimates claimed they had. Maybe they’ve run out, or maybe they’ve produced more, or maybe they’re getting more.
But it’s far from a logistical heavy lift (literally) to get munitions to wage a fairly intensive campaign into Iran with impunity - we did it in Ukraine; the routes of access are at least as numerous and available here.
And, we know China does it: jinsa.org/archive_post/i… - note the date (!).
English
People are laughing at them for this, but if China is supplying them, this is its chance to launch the proverbial Thousand Missile Strike on a carrier without ever having to go to war or take fire. And then observe the results.
We actually made it easy for them.

🚨 BREAKING 🇮🇷 IRAN WILL REMOVE THE U.S. BLOCKADE BY MILITARY FORCE. FORMER FOREIGN MINISTER MOTTAKI SAYS: “A NAVAL BLOCKADE MEANS A DECLARATION OF WAR.” "OUR FIGHTERS MAY ACT AS SOON AS TOMORROW OR NEXT WEEK" THIS IS EXTREMELY BAD FOR THE MARKETS!
English
@MartinSkold2 I think we’re actually handling it pretty well, but I would’ve liked to see the blockade start sooner. It’s a really tough nut to crack. I was against it at the outset, but given the decision, they’ve done a good job navigating a very risk averse public and an intransigent regime
English
@sweethomertr Well, I’m not giving them any abilities they haven’t already demonstrated. But if you think all that’s required here is a Grant to their Lee, what course of action would you have our Grant pursue, that we haven’t already taken?
English
@MartinSkold2 I just think it’s easy to give the enemy superhuman abilities.
“Oh, I am heartily tired of hearing about what Lee is going to do. Some of you always seem to think he is suddenly going to turn a double somersault, and land in our rear and on both of our flanks at the same time.”
English
Overland via Turkmenistan or Armenia? Over the Caspian? In the holds of oil tankers headed in for a top-up? In pieces in unmarked heavy airlift?
How did they get them in last time (or do people really think Iran built thousands of missiles all by itself)?
And if they didn’t - if Iran does have that capacity - then all they need is some popcorn and a nice viewing screen.

That Guy Trey 🇺🇸@PowerOwn45
The last season of Iran is agonizingly slow. No one is buying the negotiation plot twist. Get to the final clash already so I can binge Cuba. I think it’s just one season but it’s gonna be lit.
English
@MartinSkold2 I had a friend who was thinking about trying out for USSS about 15 years ago and the physical standards were insane. Not sure what the status is now. I will say Reagan got shot and Trump didn’t (this time) at least?
English
About what I’ve been taught the handful of times people have taught me firearm self-defense.
But the thing that’s really jarring for most people who see it is that, with the possible exception of the guy at “ready” (debatable), none of these people look like the grizzled professionals you typically expect to see in these situations. (Look at pictures of the Reagan shooting aftermath for comparison.)
They look like frightened office workers. Kids, even.
It’s that gut-level impression that leads people to believe something is seriously wrong.
R T@RDog861
So I talked to our PD's firearm's instructor and showed him this picture. His take on the picture was this: The Agent on the left is at what our PD generally referred to as the "Ready Gun" position. That's where you scan and assess your environment and you're prepared to bring your pistol up to a firing position. The female agent is in a modified "Weaver" shooting position and in that case she needed to be looking at her sights (admittedly, this photo is a snapshot and maybe she was the bulk of the time) but the point is she was in a firing position, not a scan and assess "Ready gun" position. The guy to her left looks like he just totally confused or situationally overwhelmed. Anyone disagree?

@KKriegeBlog I think the pro Argentine American response is more about wanting to see the UK show some stones more than anything

@3YearLetterman It’s like letting him get picked up for a drunk and disorderly to get his attention

I do not respect the British, but much like a disappointing alcoholic younger brother who can’t get his shit together, I must still support him over someone outside the family like Argentina

@MartinSkold2 SAS is the one thing they can actually still get right. As long as they can hitch a ride into theater on a C17 that is.
English
I mean, it’s also compromised by the lack of ships, operational fighters, tanks, line infantry, heavy airlift, and drones, plus the industry to back all of those up, but yeah - definitely also an issue if the SAS can’t recruit.
