I see your English comprehension isn’t too good:

In July 2024, Secretary Blinken claimed Iran was one or two weeks away from having enough fissile material breakout capacity to eventually make a weapon if Iran had decided to do so. There were indirect negotiations that the Biden administration did, but it went nowhere. So when President Trump argues that he did when no other president would, is it just simply that the bill was coming due and it fell on his watch?

I do think there’s a certain element to that. And that’s why I was supportive of President Trump joining in in June to take the strikes, that we had thought internally in the Biden administration, we may have to take, if there was a second term, we thought that the spring, summer of 2025 was probably, we may have to be there in the same place. And we did war games, we did some practice runs on what it would look like to look into it, because that may have had to happen under our watch as well. But he said we obliterated their nuclear program. The question then is not about what he did in June. This war we were in now did not attack the nuclear facilities again. This was not about the nuclear. So the question now becomes, can you do a deal with the Iranians? And the maximumist positions that both sides have are right now very far apart, despite all the rhetoric that we’re almost there or we are there, but if we’re not there, we’ll bomb the hell out of them.

Capitalism systemically selects for psychopathic behavior. People who only care about themselves and are willing to lie, cheat, steal, and step on others, are the ones who get to the top.

Ah didn’t know about those, I only knew of electroplans.

true, but only as prototypes that never went into mass production

Perhaps they mean commercially produces ones. To my knowledge these have never gone past experimental prototype stages.

Ground effect vehicles are basically airplanes that are forced to fly really, really low. They take off from water and cruise just a few meters above the surface. At that altitude, the air gets compressed between the wing and the ground or water, which creates a huge cushion of extra lift. This lets the vehicle carry way more weight than a normal plane of the same size and power, making it incredibly efficient for hauling cargo over water. The trick is that it only works over flat surfaces like oceans or lakes, and the piloting can be tricky because you’re skimming the waves at high speed without actually being able to climb to a higher altitude. It’s a neat piece of engineering that trades operational flexibility for raw lifting power.

You may not realize this, but there was more than one robot at the competition. Westie cope is truly taking on epic proportions now.

He singlehandedly killed the petrodollar and made clean energy a global imperative. He truly may be the best president the empire has had.

Exactly, I really hope that renewables start being reframed as energy sovereignty.

As Lenin so eloquently put it, every society is three meals away from chaos.

none of this makes much sense to be honest, but the oligarchs have found ways to make money hand over fist in this economy and so it continues

What I really liked about the talk is how he connects different things there. The tariffs cause prices to go up because they’re a tax, and so you have economic contractions as a result. Meanwhile, the fed can’t bring rates down cause that causes inflation to go up. And deporting immigrants is leads companies to start laying off high skilled workers because their manual labor force is gone. So, all these things are working together to undermine economic fundamentals.

That all only works for so long though, material reality always finds a way of asserting itself in the end.

Ah yes, ABC doing Chinese propaganda. Stay mad little chud.

Exactly, a lot of the American doctrine is completely outdated. Stuff like drones, hypersonics, cheap IR sensors, completely change the game.

An even bigger factor is that Iran has modern technology that can match the US.

You’re missing the point entirely there. WaPo is as mainstream American publication as it gets. The US mainstream media is now openly advocating for war crimes.

no prob
