@RobboLaw Normalizing relations and trading with China didn't work out like that. They didn't stop being a repressive authoritarian regime, they just got rich and dangerous.

The JCPOA, also known as the Iran nuclear deal, followed by a decade of normalization. Iran would have been a completely different place by now if Trump hadn't screwed it all up, and revived the IRI with maximum pressure.

In your view, what is the best way to topple the regime? Or is it impossible? I’m not asking whether you think it’s a good idea. My question is a pragmatic one, not a strategic one or a normative one.

@ramzpaul Vance is a rat and you would do well to place the opposite of faith in him.
English
If you are a Democrat, you should pray Trump doesn't die. If Vance became President, the war would end, the price of oil would plummet and the economy would boom. The Dems would lose the midterms.
Stop The Bollocks with Mirabel@MirabelTweets1
My prediction: They’re going to concoct a lie that Trump is suddenly at death’s door 1. To gain sympathy 2. As an excuse for JD Vance to off ramp the Iran war fiasco

@SurrealistShip You can still get 2 dollar bills at most banks. An appropriate kinda weird denomination for a fairy to leave
English
Coworker is having a real dilemma. $1 for the tooth fairy seems too low, $5 seems way too high.
What's a parent to do these days?

@hightrailmagic @_Ricardo_Breit @Dispropoganda Like I said in my first post I don't think some more ships can even solve it, unless someone is sitting on some pretty substantial secrets capabilities, which I would be pretty surprised by.
English
@theburningmike @_Ricardo_Breit @Dispropoganda You're right, but what DT actually want from NATO is to risk involving in the war which they did not start. Unblocking Ormuz is not "an easy operation" as he says. It would be also expensive and hard to succeed. And related to high risk that their ships would be destroyed
English
Dear Americans,
for the 1000th time,
it is not NATO's job to bail you out from a disastrous war in the middle east you started for no fucking reason.
Please stop crying and whining over it already,
it's frankly embarrassing.
Ari Fleischer@AriFleischer
When this is over, the western part of NATO will never be the same. Spain, England, France and Italy have sold us out, as they too often have a history of doing. Eastern European nations are the heart of NATO. They spend money on defense, know how to fight and love the US. France particularly deserves fault and blame. From supporting China and Russia at the UN to denying Americans overflight rights, they’re doing what they’ve always done - showing weakness, while cutting deals with terrorists. (The reason the US has a Marine Corps and Navy is unlike France, we refused to pay a ransom to the Barbary Pirates. France is always happy to cut a deal.) Wars have unintended consequences as nations show their true colors. NATO will never be the same, and Western European weakness and acquiescence is the cause.

@_Ricardo_Breit @hightrailmagic @Dispropoganda May indeed be what happens.
That will also cause large problems.
English
@theburningmike @hightrailmagic @Dispropoganda Yes, others have to pay for what the USA has once again done in the Middle East. The USA simply cannot resist bombing the Middle East; it has been going on like this for decades. It's time for the USA to withdraw all military bases from the Middle East.
English
@hightrailmagic @_Ricardo_Breit @Dispropoganda you are not at all wrong to be mad at Trump about this, it is totally is fault.
But we are all going to have big big problems from it, not just the US.
English
@theburningmike @_Ricardo_Breit @Dispropoganda This looks like:
Someone took a shit on your doormat, knock the door and ask you to clean it because he's gonna have problems
English
@LordofLLMs @ReviewsPossum Not all of them.
But the point here is that's what you are seeing when you look at American test scores and see them going down. The demographics are changing.
English
@NationalistStan @ReviewsPossum If you want to learn more in this area, separate US scores by race, then compare those scores to countries composed of majorities of those races- every American demographic beats their coethnics in their homelands.
The American education system is *the best in the world*!
English
@ReviewsPossum @theburningmike It’s really telling to sort it by race. 86% of black 8th graders are “below proficient” and 42% are “below basic”
English
@Willson32427336 @ReviewsPossum Did you? Because if you did you ought to understand what's going on when you import a bunch of 3rd worlders and test scores drop and not become confused and start blaming the education system.
English
@theburningmike @ReviewsPossum We already knew third worlders weren't "very bright" man
English
@_Ricardo_Breit @Dispropoganda Well, if you've got a time machine that seems like the obvious thing to try, yeah.
English
@theburningmike @Dispropoganda Hormuz was open for decades.
Not bombing Iran could probably solve this problem.
English
@ReviewsPossum They just aren't very bright and no known education intervention is going to help.
English
@theburningmike Seventy percent of US public school eighth graders are "below proficient" at reading and 75% are "below proficient" at math.
English
@KianErfaan i'm not sure we ever really did but there were some shared interests that i think have pretty much resolved themselves
its unfortunate
English
@gorilla_rape We've have 4 years of war in Ukraine to witness why that's a serious deficit then went to war with the country that supplied Russia much of its done power without doing anything about it.
Whoops.
English
Yes they noticed that we dont make the flight controllers for the drones
The electric motors for the drones
Or the propellers for the drones
Curtis Yarvin@curtis_yarvin
Has anyone in DC noticed how retarded it is that the Pentagon has no way to turn high altitude, high-speed, low-volume airpower into low-altitude, low-speed, high-volume drone power? Quadcopters are 80% of the way to obsoleting infantry. You could literally just drop them
English
@robinhanson You don't need to stop wearing it now, but do start making peace with its passing. The hole will grow.
English
My wife says I should no longer wear a shirt due to this hole that constitutes a 5x10^-5 fraction of the shirt's surface area. Unseen if the shirt is tucked into my pants. Do you agree?
English
@EdWhelanEPPC I was rather hoping that's what he would spend all his time on, rather than starting disastrous wars in the middle east, threatening our allies, and spinning the tariff knobs back and forth.
English
When Trump was elected to his second term, it was reasonable to hope that he would not use DOJ to pursue baseless criminal prosecutions of his political enemies. No one can harbor that hope any longer.
Ed Whelan@EdWhelanEPPC
Unfortunately, no one dedicated to the rule of law should have any interest in serving as Attorney General in this Administration.
