If you start a war, and your victory conditions are putting things back to how they were before you started the war, are you winning?

U.S. and Israeli officials increasingly view securing the Strait of Hormuz as the most realistic endgame of the conflict, shifting away from earlier ambitions like regime change and fully stopping Iran’s nuclear program, which they now consider unlikely to succeed. Source: WaPo

My wife was formerly promiscuous. I was a virgin.
She was then radically born-again. Committed to church, evangelized constantly, Puritan books in her bedroom, prayer journals, grief over past sexual sin, etc.

So if you control a naval trading choke point and have sufficient missiles, you can get 2 million USD per ship?

@NobleBrown @Cernovich 1. China has 6 months of reserves and can sanction the USA on RE minerals.
2. Any deal you strike with the lobby for your benefit is 100% upside for them and 100% downside for you.
3. The political fallout of this is going to stop domestic legislation.
It’s a colossal fuck up.
English
@Cernovich I have a nuanced take
US interests are served, but not the way most think
Clearly it's a proxy attack on China
It may also be a deal with Israel
If they use their influence in Congress to pass the Save Act
Then it's a good deal
I hate it
But the end justifies the means

No one should trust the US empire to do anything but bury the knife into their back, up to the hilt.

man I feel bad for the Iranians who trusted the US not to fuck this up spectacularly

@hwilliamssomers @admcollingwood @foggydave When you’re in a zugzwang, you don’t get to play a good move. Europe has a hard choice to make, and saying ‘this bowl of shit tastes like shit’ won’t change that.
English
@admcollingwood @foggydave Sure. But then we’d be massively in hock to the Chinese or Russians and even more buggered.

Right. Stolen.

EXCL: Morgan McSweeney's mobile phone with texts to Peter Mandelson was stolen. These messages may be lost forever - meaning there there will be gaps in The Mandelson files published by No10. Phone was nicked and reported to police last year. thesun.co.uk/news/38591267/…

1. We haven't really felt the effects yet.
2. It will be compared to Covid.
3. BUT, Covid was a temporary restriction on capacity.
- This is a destruction of underlying capacity. So will last many years, not 2.
4. When it eventually comes back - energy will flow East, not West.

@admcollingwood Trump is a millstone around the European right wing, the smarter ones will become hostile to Washington if they want any electoral impact.
English
We have a month or two before the consequences of the Iran war are felt in British politics. It means those who supported it, and the broader neoconservative Atlanticist agenda are discredited in a way that even I don't relish. Why? Winners will be the Greens, the Muslim independents, Corbyn's Hallo Clouds, Hello Sky Party, and the far left wing of the Labour Party. It will disembowel the populist right, who foolishly jumped aboard this lunatic train. It will bring forth the more extreme versions on the right in response. We had better hope that the USAF manages to degrade Iranian capacity or that Trump accepts a strategically and politically catastrophic L soon.
