  • Iran may allow oil tankers through Strait of Hormuz trading in Chinese yuan

    Jump

  • 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.

  • Maybe the treasury knows something that we don't?

  • Iran is ready for a long war with the US and only economic pain will end it, senior official tells CNN

    Jump

  • 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.

  • Iran is ready for a long war with the US and only economic pain will end it, senior official tells CNN

    Jump

  • 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...

  • Newspaper Confirms Some Details in Trump Accuser’s Epstein-Related Story to FBI

    Jump

  • 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.

  • Trump Shrugs Off Skyrocketing Gas Prices as Iran War Intensifies

    Jump

  • Well his approval ratings in the US is still 44 %.

    He has yolod the world into another war in the middle east and 44 % of Americans are like: "that's my boy!".

    He could publicly execute his followers at gas stations now and they would still vote for him.

  • Trump says he’s cutting all trade with Spain for refusing his Iran war request

    Jump

  • I mean that would be the result if the orange idiot goes through with his announcement, as the EU has a unified trade policy to protect their member states of attacks like that.

  • Trump Admits He Has No War Plan in Bombshell Letter

    Jump

  • The USA needs a functioning education system. Ideally 30 years ago.

    They are reaping the "benefits" of decades of decades of public school defunding, pseudo-christian home-schooling and widespread lead exposure.

  • Trump Says He's 'Entitled' to Illegal Third Term as Allies Draft Voter Suppression Decree

  • 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

  • Trump Says He's 'Entitled' to Illegal Third Term as Allies Draft Voter Suppression Decree

    Jump

  • 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 -_-

    Jump

  • 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.

  • Yeah that's why I specified about the niche roles. If you want to work as a postman you will have to be proficient in the local language. If you are highly specialised, especially in a field that is in high demand, people are going to cater to you.

  • Number of Americans applying for UK citizenship hits record levels

    Jump

  • 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.

    The more niche your field is, the more acceptable English will be anyway everywhere else.

  • 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".
