  • Russia sending second ship with oil to Cuba amid US blockade

    Jump

  • It is not a blockade. Idiots. So if there is no blockade, it is not "amid US blockade".

    A blockade is a specific legal thing, an act of war. Where you stop all ships using military means. The US is using legal means to make it very expensive for countries like Mexico to send oil, which is not a blockade.

    So it is not surprising that the US will not stop these Russian ships.

  • Second crew member from F-15 downed in Iran rescued by U.S. forces

  • There has been talk about Trump just "declaring victory", and then going home. If Iran had held these two Americans as prisoners of war, that would have been much harder for Trump to do.

  • Donald Trump spokesman forced to deny US President death and hospital rumours

  • Best Easter since 2026 years ago.

    What does that even mean?

  • Gold is fluctuating wildly in price. It is meaningless to talk about measuring commodity prices in gold.

  • It could very well be. If I were a Russian psy-op, then I would post exactly stuff like this. But who knows.

  • Trump delivers jaw-dropping and slurred Iran address that offers no end in sight to unpopular war

    Jump

  • A Shakespeare quote is relevant here, about those blowhards:

    It is a tale told by an idiot, full of sound and fury, signifying nothing.

    It allowed unserious people to sound tough on Iran on TV. But until Trump, there were no chance of them actually going through with it, if given power. They truly had to ignore even the most basic of Iran expertise, known even to laymen like me.

  • Everybody but Trump knew that Iran would close the strait of Hormuz. Which made it incredibly stupid to go to war with Iran. For reasons which are right now self evident, not that they were not evident before.

    So no, nobody but a mentally declining idiot like Trump would have gone to war with Iran.

  • After Intel, AMD is now also raising CPU prices by up to 15%

    Jump

  • along with depleted inventories

    Well, what do you think is causing the depleted inventories? Surely the lack of foundry availability.

  • Tobacco plant altered to produce five psychedelic drugs

    Jump

  • a) is it BS

    The tobacco plant is a model plant, the go-to for genetic engineering experiments. So often when scientists want to test creating a bio-factory, they will try to modify a tobacco plant.

    I am knowledgeable in ethnobotany and psychedelics and I cannot see what this might produce other than nausea and delirium.

    The idea is not to smoke the resulting tobacco plant with some funky mix of psychedelics. But to extract and purify the compounds from the bio-factory. Resulting in a better production chain than however the compounds are typically made today.

  • The Iran War seems likely to be a result of Trump's fancy though, not a move chosen by Trump's puppeteers.

    While Vance is a puppet of Thiel, this is not a zero sum game. Vance would probably do less damage than Trump.

  • Trump slurs his way through jaw-dropping Iran war address with no clear end in sight

    Jump

  • And yet in this, as in too many other things, Trump continues to again and again be given the assumption of seriousness and competence. It is as if all the "serious people" in this country have the memory of a mentally challenged goldfish. Case in point, from OP:

    The primetime speech, which pre-empted scheduled television programming on all broadcast networks at the request of the White House

    Why oh why would the networks agree to give Trump specifically live television time? Why not have your journalists watch it first, and then report on it in the next news segment if Trump said anything relevant? Especially in this case, where it was obvious that Trump would say nothing truly time critical requiring live broadcast.

  • I am too lazy to make a list, but I am pretty sure Trump has done this exact stunt of announcing a "major policy speech coming" before. And then announcing nothing new in the speech.

  • A significant part of the GOP base are in a Trump cult. I think the Republican party will implode, if the Republicans are seen as in any way helping depose Trump.

    They can hope Trump dies, but I don't think they have any other way out.

  • But Trump was a US citizen. So it doesn't matter if Ivana was a US citizen.

    So fuck Trump, but this is a stupid argument.

  • I am just not very informed on the oil industry, so I didn’t want to sound like I did in case I was talking out my ass.

    No no, I am not criticizing. I am all for using the correct level of qualifiers when speculating about things you know you don't know with certainty.

    If only the people talking out of their ass about the current conflict in the middle east would do the same...

  • Trump signs executive order limiting mail-in voting ahead of 2026 U.S. elections

    Jump

  • Being convicted of insurrection is not a requirement. The only reason Trump was not kept off the ballot was because the Supreme Court intervened, and effectively annulled the 14th amendment.

  • How little the founding fathers knew…

    In Russia, Navalny was falsely declared the equivalent of a felon by Putin's corrupt judge. Preventing Navalny from running against Putin. Not having any formal requirement for President is absolutely the democratically correct choice. It is just that US voters are idiots.
