Our self-interest is that Trump gets recked in the Mid-terms so that all the tariff and war madness gets a degree of oversight and setbacks. Reason number one to just let this play out. This will lead to worldwide economic downturn, but an unhinged and unchecked Trump for a further 2/3 years would be even worse for us.

Secondly the Hormuz Strait is not able to be controlled without boots on the ground in Iran. We did not start this war and we should not participate in it in any way.

Instead of participating in the folly, we should use the financial and personal resources to dampen the impact on the economy and speeding up our path to energy independence.

Unsurprising. If the war ends with the dollar having lost its place as the world’s reserve currency (only propped up by oil sales currently), then this would be the biggest defeat of the US in their history because it would mark the end of American global hegemony. I’m not sure that’s a good outcome for the world but it would be the result nonetheless.

I doubt, that Israel is stopping before they have tried their uttermost to bring Iran into a civil war like state. Their goal is complete destabilisation or at least regime change. The US’s aim is up to everyone’s guess. Probably just “YOLO” judging by their shifting aims every day.

Because in all the previous strikes the US and Israel did, Iran did back down and only struck back with performative actions (like bombardments with previous warnings) in return (while less overtly funding and supporting proxies in other countries primarily moving against Israel and KSA).

The US felt emboldened that this time Iran would cave as well and give into their demand immediately, because the idiots running the current government can’t understand cultural differences or any strategy apart from schoolyard bullying. To Iran this just shows that they should never have shown restraint in their responses but have to continue playing the escalation game. They know, that with this administration their only chance now is to keep escalating until Trump gives up.

And at the same time Israel has decided, that it now wants to eradicate Iran as a country and use the protest movement and the Kurds as a tool to bring Iran into a complete and permanent state of civil war.

the timeline in which the IGRC’s public statement are more trustworthy than US officials…

These allegations have been out in the public for years. Everyone who has heard Trump speaking once can see how they fit the character 100 %.

But in the US different rules apply to the rich and powerful. So nothing will ever come out of it. And Operation Epstein Fury will keep his followers distracted.

44 % approval rate still.

It’s above 50 % unfortunately. https://jamanetwork.com/journals/jamapediatrics/fullarticle/2784260

By all means. I’m not advocating for them. I can just tell you, that this is where the ultra wealthy put their money. And on an individual level the value of a full-body-MRI for prevention is quite high. There’s a small exclusive club of people who have access to these kind of things and we are not part of it

Even a stroke clot needs to form somewhere. The full body MRI would very likely pick that up months before a stroke would happen.

Edit: Sorry to annoy you with basic medical facts for everyone downvoting my comment -_-

This guy gets a full body MRI (probably every year one or two). Judging by the timeline I would guess they started that as a response to Biden’s prostate cancer.

I wouldn’t hold my breath. Any significant medical condition they’ll find months in advance. There’s a reason why ultra-rich dipshits like Murdoch are seemingly indestructible.

Well that’s at least what the right wing media wants you to believe.

Actually things are looking pretty good for the UK. Even Reform seems to have peaked in voter share and is on the way down. The most recent by-election is a race between greens and labour with Reform nowhere near those two.

There’s a subreeddit “GoodNewsUK” which is a pretty good reality check.

It’s bring your child to work day in the US government now every day. Only the child is a geriatric buffoon with the emotional and intellectual complexity of a 3 year old and he’s calling all the shots unchallenged by any adult in the room.

Never forget that more than 50 % of the US voters knew exactly what was coming, had previous experience with him fucking things up for 4 years straight and went “yeah, sounds like a solid guy to vote for”.

Why you guys in the US are not running around with pitchforks and torches is still unbelievable to me…

Consider a vacation in Greenland then maybe?

So what about all these “deals” all the other governments like the UK, SK and EU did with the US to bring tarrifs down to 10 or 15 %? I suppose they are now all void as well?

🍌 Republic stuff.

Now please just shut the whole stupid thing down forever.

It feels unfair that in our timeline Bush somehow won against Al Gore and Musk didn’t take out himself and Thiel before they could bring substantial damage to our societies.

Are we somehow just living in like the worst possible timeline after 2000?

Where do you see that? I don’t see any of that.

I’ve found this to be a rather good summary of the multiple videos in circulation: https://resistmap.substack.com/p/they-took-his-gun-then-they-shot
