In Vietnam war, US narrative that gave the impression of continuous victory was Vietcong body count ratio of 10:1+ over dead Americans. Very few ordinary Americans received a cheque (income increase) related to Vietcong body count.

In Iran, US spending $40B + expected Israel reinbursement of their $20B, to blow up over 9000 shit, and more than what Iran blew up can only be related to victory, if it was a goal to have a higher video game score measured in TNT damage. If it was a goal to make oil prices yoyo up and down, but mostly up, then victory achieved. The propaganda about US winning in illegal war on Iran simply can’t be measured in metrics unrelated to goals.

It’s all about whether Binance lets them cash out or not, but mixing within BRICS is sure to make it clean enough, as Binance getting/keeping sovereign clients is good for Binance, and not worth appeasing US BS to turn it away.

Preferred crypto payment is USDT (Thether) stable coin. Which is the least US regulated, and most popular, US $ equivalent/backed stable coin. They are unlikely to refuse bitcoin, though.

She absolutely did not have sexual relations with these people… uhm mr Epstein, and ms Maxwell, or any of their ephebe escorts, nor passed them along to friends and acquaintances.

A country that runs entirely on non-fossil fuel energy, on solar, wind, tidal, geothermal, even nuclear, doesn’t have to worry if the flow of oil is open or not.

less reliance on fuel imports always improves independence. Incumbent power plants available as backup/option improves resilience and independence as well. It doesn’t need to be all or nothing, and renewables don’t stop new oil projects for exports. Carbon accounting (tax) is entirely attributed to consumers of energy/product+delivery.

The true failure of the golden democracies is their totalitarian subservience to US warmongering enemy propaganda. US empire/CIA serves US champions for extortionist power, and even their dabbling in green policy was was a corporate supremacist model for minnows, that got shot down by incumbent oligarchy. It is colonial subjugation that is 100% responsible for energy vulnerability, because it embraces one’s own extortion. Russian sanctions and self terrorism on Nordstream as prior examples.

You should have chosen to be a nepo baby instead. Make better life choices, and get a white house internship, to be on the juicy tips mailing lists.

$200B of oil contracts were liquidated/stop lossed in about 1 hour.

Margin is such on oil futures that 6 million barrels only costs $60m to “control”. $20 drop in oil price is $120m in profits on that $60m bet.

First Skynet only model. Claude does have more censorship in its (Opus, Sonnet) models than others. Refusals for many scientific fields.

climate crisis doesn’t cost anything from an energy perspective. Just freedom of competition. renewable energy can outcompete incumbent energy, and a carbon tax and dividend scheme (0 cost) ensures the full (future) cost of dirty energy is considered.

Does world of warships have drones?

I’ve heard of kill the messenger. Give the messenger a congressional medal of honor!!!

The major, gigantic, impact on your life relies on the fact that these were military expert officers who warned that escalation or ground troops in Iran would be a major disaster. A disaster, where even/especially if you are outside of US will cause extreme cost of living increases with lower quality, at best, assuming you are not ones who will starve, or simply have 0 fuel and ultra low food production.

Ground troops as an example, means a very long war that could cancel US midterms. Where global shortages are extreme and last too long. $400/bbl oil and $15/gallon US gasoline with double the price elsewhere in the world are the future under such action. Where political wing of Pentagon already needs an excuse to cancel mid terms, incredible global/little americans suffering is the consequence.

Should the military hold a bake sale to provide soldiers with the equipment they need?

Also, corn has very low ROI for farmers even with “free equivalent land”. Corn futures prices have not risen anywhere close to 100% fertilizer cost increases this month. Solar has much higher profit/ROI potential than ethanol corn for the land owners, with far less work.

short somewhat typeable, after 5 retries of “You know what a fucking period is, don’t you???” tech support.

As far as forgiving loans, Israel wasn’t loaned anything, we gave it to them,

The contractual shenanigans of gifting weapons to Israel is that they are sold with a loan. The state department immediately forgives the loan.

the US officials that helped compromise our citizens for a foreign country are traitors.

I agree. I prefer seizing their and their donors wealth instead of death penalty.

Difficult sure. Would you prefer that it is impossible to fly to California, difficult? Shouldn’t be. Cost of Jet fuel from GCC would make the difficult trip from Texas profitable.

forgiving a loan is a permanent contract. You can validly say that everyone who previously cancelled loans were traitorous scum, as a basis for conditions for future sales to Israel, and seizing assets of all “supposed Americans” of those who bribed the traitorous scum as restitution. But cancelled loans themselves are without legal restitution.

I prefer seizing the $10T of Zionazi agents and funding of Zionazi first rule over America to death penalties.

I forget what this whole bill/amendment was, but defensive protection of civilians, or the illusion thereof, gives genocidal impunity. If Israel had to pay for some portion of “weapons” given to them then that is less support for Israel which has traditionally received full gifted aid.

When you fund body armour and masks for ICE, you empower them to murder traffic that is too slow to clear. (renee good)

All funding for zionazi Israel is used for genocide. The funding of water for Israel is support for genocide. Republicans say that reimbursing medicare expenses of hospitals in California promoted illegal immigration, even though it is a contractual reimbursement, because if California was forced to repay hospitals, it would have less money somehow to support immigrants.
