@RaphaelHarris9 @MrHarryCole Yeah...well except that Pearl Harbour came BEFORE they were at war, and the Bombs were dropped during the war. See the difference ?
English
@MrHarryCole I suppose the Japanese PM could always have retorted that they were not told the Americans were going to drop atomic bombs on Hiroshima and Nagasaki.
English
Honestly this pearl harbour thing is such a useful test.
You either think it’s funny or you’re the problem.
English
@oelma__ Because cellphones never take the cool pictures they promise they can produce ?
English
@Osint613 @AZ_Intel_ Although if 20 percent of world's oil passes through Hormuz, and producers elsewhere are upping production to take advantage of demand gap, its hard to see how it gets to 180.
English
Saudi Arabia’s oil officials say prices could soar past $180 a barrel if war-related disruptions persist until late April, potentially pushing consumers into habits that slash their oil use. - WSJ

@AntiLeftMemes Good restaurant. Families with well-behaved kids will flock there for dinner.
English
@Oceanbreeze473 Yes indeed. In the uproar the fact is forgotten that the US has destroyed Iran's nuclear and missile production. The crocodile has no teeth.
English
Here’s the reality no one wants to say:
The objective is simple: stop Iran from ever having the ability to wage war with ballistic missiles, drones, or nuclear weapons.
Iran has already pushed its nuclear program to the point where enriched material could be ramped up quickly. Waiting only makes that threat harder to contain.
Diplomacy was attempted. Iran expanded its program anyway.
At some point, deterrence isn’t words—it’s action. The goal isn’t endless war, it’s preventing a far more dangerous one later.
English
@TrentTelenko And they forgot the golden rule of prediction. When there are too many variables, such as how long this war goes on, what happens if regime falls, precise prediction sounds silly.
English
Goldman Sacks just demonstrated here that it knows nothing of how the economics of fracking works.🤦♂️⬇️
Qasem Al-Ali@AlaliQasem
Goldman Sachs just dropped a bombshell: Oil could stay above $100 for YEARS. Here’s why you need to pay attention 🧵👇

@DLCampanile On this evidence, Phil has never met even one marine.

@planefag The dog sleds, they forgot to mention the dog sleds!
I think the above photo is the ENTIRE Danish army.
English
@FauzKhalid The critics will say this is AI, and accuse you of being insecure!
Ignore the critics.
English
Iran attacks US base in Kuwait.
Iran was underestimated and this arrogance is now backfiring.
English
@MollyDavis543 Although US seems to have knocked out Iran nuclear production, missile production, navy, air force, air defence, and most of the leadership. So there's that.
English
Our military has "war gamed" a war with Iran, repeatedly.
We've lost every time.
Which is why no President has ever been foolish enough to even try.
English
@TrentTelenko Er...you realise Europeans use oil and gas, yes?
And price goes up if the Strait is blocked?
And Europeans really, really don't want rising energy prices. They feel they can't stress that to you enough.
English
The failure of European nations to defend the Strait of Hormuz was costing it too many arms deals with the Gulf Arabs in the short term.
In the longer term, they just realized their actions endangered further US participation in NATO with the American people.
WORLD NEWS@_MAGA_NEWS_
🚨 JUST IN: In a jaw-dropping development, Japan, Britain, France, Germany, Italy, and the Netherlands pledging support for securing the "Strait of Hormuz", reversing their earlier refusals amid United States pressure.
English
@rawsalerts Already, only a couple of months after the invasion that! Masterful!
English
🚨#BREAKING: Denmark has reportedly prepared a contingency plan to blow up and destroy key runways in Greenland if the United States ever attempted an invasion
English
@hissgoescobra Plus Nato without America is basically a few dog sleds and one working warship.
English
@reportingLibya We are begging for NATO's help. They must suck.
English
They did exactly what they should have. Many uninformed takes claimed the U.S. would just roll over NATO, when in fact they have a larger land army than the U.S. and specialize in Arctic warfare. It is appalling and shameful we put them through this.

1/ Denmark was reportedly preparing for full-scale war with the US over Greenland in January, with military support from France, Germany, and Nordic nations. Elite troops and F-35 jets with live ammunition were sent, and runways were to be blown up to prevent an invasion. ⬇️
English
@TheAttleeStan Then ask them how many troops did each EU state send to help Denmark defend Greenland. And get a sense of the disintegration in Europe.
English
imagine showing this to someone in 2019
English
@Amelia558rs Depends. In a crowded room, maybe they are talking to someone I don't like either.
English
@Amelia558rs Xmas tree at Xmas.
Rest of the year...just end up wishing architect hadn't been drunk when designing your staircase.
English
@joelpollak Plus whatever you think of him he clearly does think strategically. Greenland and Venezuela were about opposing China in the Americas, Iran bombing is part of same strategy. You may or may like it, but it seems silly not to acknowledge.
English
And yet he wins wars, which these people cannot. How does that work
Carrie Coon@carriecoon
Anne Applebaum nails it:
English
Denmark was ready to blow up Greenland runways if the USA invaded.
The Danish military sent explosives and blood supplies to Greenland in January as part of contingency planning for a US attack, as tensions with Trump escalated. 🇩🇰🇬🇱🇺🇸
English
@NiqabNancy They knew Iran was building missiles, most probably, so they prepared.
English
How does Israel have bomb shelters literally everywhere?
It’s almost like they knew in advance that a war was going to start 🤔
