From the low/high IQ bell curve meme… “I’m smart enough to sell before the bubble bursts”

Gulf Cooperation Council. Basically countries on east side of Persian Gulf.

There’s good reason navy has moved far away from Iran. They’ve struck targets accurately far further than the 10km off their coast that is the Straits. Likely more Americans killed than reported in GCC. The Navy is refusing not only because it is a certain suicide mission that fails, but also because of the extreme embarrassment risk of that certain failure.

Trump denied this, and it is extremely unlikely. Iran has the full power to sink every ship that comes close with drones alone, and is why no US navy ship dares come close. The Yemen Houthis have to this day still closed the Red Sea to undesirable traffic, (despite yet another mission accomplished bombing campaign by Trump) and they have less than 1/10th the power of Iran.

Mines would be a sign of loss of control, but more likely the US is bombing small civilian boats under guises that they could lay mines.

There are a lot of comments here saying that this is not the most insane thing ever said in history, when it really is:

The US has sold 0 Tomahawks to Iran, and it is exclusively available to closest US allies, which are all in the “pure demonic hatred towards” Iran club. It is categorically ignorant of all historical US doctrine, and the extreme insanity of US government is no one has told him how unacceptably stupid he is for even suggesting it.

Tomahawks further require special launching hardware, including a specific fitting rocket booster, software, and a US satelitte data link for any targeting.

GCC US colonial bases are completely destroyed to point, where they are unlikely to be rebuilt. Trump’s threat of pure terrorism on Iran infrastructure puts GCC infrastructure and survivability at retaliatory risk, with US utterly incapable or unwilling to divert defensive resources away from Zionazi master.

I’m unsure if quote is real, but GCC needs to, if not outright ally with Iran, assert their full neutrality and disinvest from US and Israel, arrest and deport all US military, seize any remaining equipment, join BRICS and SCO. A worse betrayal to humanity by Zionazi axis terrorist strikes, means desperate measures by GCC to save themselves from Iran, as a bigger threat than Israeli black flag intimidation.

Trump’s escalating desperation rhetoric from Yesterday, should be framed as setting up the total annihilation of Gulf ally metropolises and directly threatening their financialization of US economy, and westernish real estate wealth in the region.

My point was that nuclear energy is not economic from selling energy perspective. I agree that it was idiotic mistake for Iran to pretend to pursue economic/peaceful nuclear energy. Still, if it can sell enriched uranium at high profit, that is easy path to peace.

There is zero economic rationale for nukes, especially when you have sunny place and China as a friend. An easy offramp is to sell any nuclear material to highest bidder, with US invited to bid. Only justification of nuclear energy is scientist control and military purposes. True even in China with reasonable power prices.

The hard line reputation is more about Iran sovereignty absolutism. His father made a mistake to hope for US/Europe reasonableness/raprochement. IRGC resisted Chinese support, for more control over people. New leader doesn’t mean any predictable outcome, but may be open to understanding previous mistakes.

US spends more on government healthcare than Canada ($9195/capita vs $5000), which has universal healthcare for all. As % of GDP, for total healthcare, US is 17%, Canada is 12%

Not explained enough. wtf is?

rising by the lights. killed off by a joker running something through the night?

No. Reinsurance “scheme” lets an insurer transfer all risk. If US government is willing to pay the insurer $100M, then they will charge the ship $1M or $99M for the voyage, but keep $100M total. Brian Kilmede will not volunteer to be crew on the ships no matter the pay, either.

Same message could be given to US naval superpower. “Just go near Iran you chickenshits.” instead of staying out of drone range. The tankers in question were supposed to be getting US navy escorts.

Russia does very little of this, and much less than Ukrainian denials of reality. Mostly the front lines that Russia claims are reality. Definitely no example of a highly contested town that Zelensky walked through.

China or Russia involvement ends WW3. What is more likely is US runs out of weapons and declares victory. China/BRICs gain influence over GCC, and rest of world, as US is seen as impotent. Like Venezuela, the natural partners for Iran are Asia, because they can trade oil for reconstruction. Even if US pays for oil industry investment, there will still be trade incentives for Asia, and weapons/nationalization threats against US rebuilt ownership.

Far more destruction of GCC oil infrastructure is within Iran capability. Israel’s targetting of oil refineries/storage should be condemned as a relationship breaking point by GCC, but they are too afraid. Still, US impotence to value GCC allies over Israel demonism, means no more investments in US, or reliance on US for defense after this is over.

Iran is a peer missile power, and one of 4 drone super powers. (US distant 5th). Tel Aviv is under blackouts, https://www.facebook.com/SEAheritagehistory/posts/-a-ballistic-missile-reportedly-struck-israels-largest-power-station-orot-rabin-/984729600890998/ and other Israel power infrastructure has reported damage. No matter the censorship of Israel, there is extensive damage to the country. Last summer, it took 12 days to declare victory by bombing a mountain. Iranian production outpaced US since then. F35s are being delivered without electronics due to reliance on rare earths, that also impact the “exquisite class” offensive/defensive missile production, that only China refines, and has banned for US military complex.

While I am disgusted by China and Russia’s lack of assertiveness in ending the war early, Iran can get to yet another ceasefire on its own, and get GCC to be more aligned with it, and less towards Zionaziism.

Alabama women won’t flip the vote, anyway.

If any Bill shall not be returned by the President within ten Days (Sundays excepted) after it shall have been presented to him, the Same shall be a Law, in like Manner as if he had signed it, unless the Congress by their Adjournment prevent its Return, in which Case it shall not be a Law.

I think he has to try to return the bill in order for “adjournment to count as veto”.

while bandwidth is high, storage is low. Even dropping speed to 10Tb/sec, it would mean 1.25GB of effective ram.

they’re very inaccurate with their munitions

3 of 7 global thaad systems have been hit from 100s of km away. This is the line that Israel gave on the first hospital they bombed in Gaza.

Trump lies. This is one of the most disgusting ones. “They can’t shoot straight” is both false and prejudicial. Theory would require a nearby launcher, and one that could cause the damage, instead of pure BS.
