In China, the world's first commercial underwater data center has been built: 1,300 tons of servers at a depth off the coast of the Lingang Special Zone in Shanghai.
This is preparation for the creation of an AI network that is inaccessible to any earthly control. The most powerful AI on the planet may already be operating in the depths.
🚨 RED LINE: Secretary Marco Rubio says the U.S. will respond when fired upon in the Strait of Hormuz amid escalating tensions with Iran.
From Florida to the Gulf, Americans want strength, deterrence, and stability in critical shipping lanes. 🇺🇸
@nxt888 The West's enormous amount of wealth has always been built on science, and technology. Why is it always leftists that have to lie and make excuses for their lack of success?
What the West calls "the rules-based international order" was built on a specific sequence of events.
First: centuries of colonial extraction that transferred enormous wealth from the periphery to the center, building the capital base for Western industrialization.
Second: two world wars that destroyed European colonial competitors and positioned the United States as the dominant power.
Third: the construction of international institutions, the UN, the IMF, the World Bank, GATT, later the WTO, designed at a moment of maximum Western power and structured to reflect and perpetuate that power.
Fourth: the systematic undermining of any alternative arrangement, non-alignment movements, Southern trade blocs, debt relief initiatives, technology transfer agreements, that might have allowed developing countries to accumulate the capital needed to compete on more equal terms.
The order is rules-based in the same sense that a monopoly is market-based.
The rules were written by the people who benefit from them, at the moment they had the most leverage.
And they are enforced selectively against the people who challenge them and not at all against the people who designed them.
Calling this an "order" is accurate.
Calling it "rules-based" is a tribute to the sophistication of the branding.
Calling it the foundation of human progress, as its defenders routinely do, requires a particular relationship to the history of how it was built and who paid for the construction.
Most of the people who paid for it were not invited to the opening ceremony.
They are still paying.
@s_m_marandi BRO WE HAVE ALSO WEAPONS . So whenever we want we will trash you . IF UAE🇦🇪 WANT DESTRO YOU ITS POSSIBLE BUT THEY ARE VERY POLITE . SO DONT TEST IT. Don’t think UAE is small . Yes it’s small by land but it will make very big impact . So don’t try . It’s good for you
TRANSPORTATION SEC DUFFY: “We’re in a good place for fuel prices, and I encourage all Americans to take a road trip this summer.”
It’s unreal how out-of-touch these people are. Gas is over $4.50 a gallon. Americans can’t afford road trips.
You are either with the UAE or with the evil Islamic regime. No silence is accepted. Right now, the Islamic regime in Iran is targeting my beloved country, the UAE, with drones and missiles. The UAE is crushing them, intercepting, destroying, and defending not just its land, but the safety of over 200 nationalities who call it home. Stand clear. Choose your side. UAE is safe and strong.
Iranians have suffered tremendously from this war, but also from a ceasefire that keeps the risk of war alive.
Tehran signals readiness for war, though it doesn't seek it, and still believes it has escalation dominance. If war erupts, Iran will escalate horizontally & particularly target the UAE.
The Islamic Republic of Iran HAS a metro station dedicated to the Virgin Mary. Does the USA’s “Judeo-Christian” ally, Israel have a Christian metro station?
Told @cnn that Iran wasn't pursuing a nuclear weapon according to US intelligence services before the war, but the war may dramatically incentivize them to go in that direction if a deal is not reached.
@tparsi@CNN Trump and Netanyahu stopping Iran nuclear program in 2026 is equivalent to Neville Chamberlain of GB and Édouard Daladier of France stopping Hitler in 1938 and preventing WW2.
Got bless Trump & Netanyahu for preventing nukes from Iran and saving the lives of many Millions.
Putin on a peace deal in Iran: "we will do everything that serves your interests."
Russian President Vladimir Putin made strong assurances of support to Iran during a meeting with Iranian Foreign Minister Abbas Araghchi in St. Petersburg, amidst heightened regional tensions.
“For our part, we will do everything that serves your interests and the interests of all the peoples of the region to ensure that peace is achieved as quickly as possible”.
