I have this verse reference on a bumper sticker.

It’s hard to imagine a future where my 401k is worth enough to support me. In the meantime, the horrors of the world are driving me to increase my alcohol intake.

I think this is mostly what Israel wants out of the war with Iran-- cover to annex more territory. Death to Israel.

Uh, oil tycoons are pretty happy. Have you seen the prices?

I’m spending my savings on alcohol!

What? The US block the strait? First of all, they can’t, for the exact same reason that couldn’t keep it open: Iran will fuck up their ships! Second, closing the strait hurts the US more than it hurts Iran, which is why Iran closed it: maximum economic pressure. Third, what Trump is talking about now is just piracy: intercepting ships that have paid Iran for passage. The US navy doesn’t have to be anywhere near the strait for that, but it puts them in direct conflict with allies and (stronger) rivals. This is just more Trump flailing.

Democrat candidates can never fail, they can only be failed. Policy doesn’t matter.

China is definitely not going to accept such a turn of events without response. I hope they give Iran some nukes.

Gonna be a hard sell to the rest of the world who is largely able to negotiate passage with Iran. US navy is gonna hijack ships enroute from the strait to China?

The US has been the greatest threat to the world since WW2.

Why compare to Japan when you can compare to China?

Bruh the world is ready to crowdfund nukes for Iran.

Doubt.

Iran: “Nah.”

I don’t think they feel unfree.

I think most people in China are happier than most people in the US.

Big if true.

I mostly block specific communities that I just don’t want to see. Cartoon porn? No judgement if you’re into it, but there semms to be a lot and it’s not my thing. If I notice you spamming propaganda constantly (ie, PJ) I’m blocking you. Stop clogging my feed with your low effort ax-grinding. Other than that, you really have to demonstrate bad faith.

Bring 40 friends next time.

No shit? The party line in Taiwan is the exact same as it is in mainland China: one China. The disagreement is over who is in charge. When you get off anplane in Taipei, you see a sign “Welcome to the Republic of China”. When you get off the plane in Beijing, you see a sign that says “Welcome to the Peoples’ Republic of China”.
