Reports of 400 posts launched already.

The bomber missile will always get through.

Capitalism: that taco you’re eating is actually the property of klarna and you now owe klarna money

Impersonating a CIA deep cover agent

If we weren’t already in a global recession it’s absolutely fucking unavoidable now.

IAEA report normal levels of radiation. No leak.

So that makes 3?

The Rafael not looking so bad now after all.

Tel Aviv was a cunningly prepared decoy

Esfahan nuclear facilities were targeted several times on June 13. No increase in off-site radiation levels has been reported as of now. The IAEA remains in close contact with Iran.

Lmao at the price gouging.

How to think about a possible nuclear war in the Middle East: it might affect your investments

Pump these videos directly into my veins

The only viable escalation I can see is for Iran to set off a nuclear warhead test.

They can go tit-for-tat with missile strikes but ultimately Israel can escalate more than Iran can, Israel has US and western backing, and Iran is starting to run low on allies.

An interesting aspect of these spider web attacks is that they seem to take years to pull off.

Ukraines attack took “over 18 months” of planning and Israel’s attack took “years” of preparation.

While effective, they don’t seem to be a highly reliable mode of attack and when you consider the resources a multi-year operation would consume they maybe aren’t efficient either when compared to a missile strike.

The US evacuated their embassies and that, somehow, was not a signal to raise the alert level.

Shocking.

Why tf is china agreeing to those tariffs?

I can only assume there are plenty of loopholes in the fine print that make it more balanced while allowing trump the announceable he wants.

That’s totally Hasbara

Especially in china where the business model is basically cut costs to the bone and win scale instead of profit margins.

Western corporations favor profit margin, maximize ROI. Which means western corporations set prices based on what the buyer will tolerate.

Chinese corporations favor scale. Which means prices are based largely on cost.

It’s like expecting Walmart to absorb the price of eggs. It’s not their business model.

If one little protest can burn up ~5% of the defense budget then there should be more little protests.

Asymmetry. This is their weak point.

They need to over-respond. A massive and profligate display of force is their best card. Attrition warfare couldn’t have better odds.

Relaxed by European standards. You need a license and a background check, etc.
