but you are a pretty princess, you just don’t know it yet 💖

They probably count people like the Unabomber as left wing.

you deserve it 💖

ok, I see how it is

That’s a bargaining tactic because they know they’ll never get them. They’re asking for more than they’ll realistically get to get as much as they realistically can. They’ll probably demand the US doesn’t bring military vessels through the strait or something similar, limiting their ability to attack in the future.

But they were already willing to reach an agreement on nuclear development before the war started. They were at the negotiating table, and the US showed to them that trying to negotiate for peace was a fool’s errand.

Why Taiwan is fucked

bruh, genuinely where have you been? There is a gestapo loyal to Trump who round up his culture war scapegoats. There are concentration camps that hold immigrants in perpetuity. I could literally get sent to one of those camps for being trans if that gestapo ever carded me, something they could easily do thanks to racial profiling. If that did happen, not only would I be denied my hormones while in captivity, I could be medically tortured by psychoactive drugs in the hope that it causes lasting psychological damage.

I’m sorry, but Trump is already a Hitler like dictator, and you’re ignorant beyond belief if you truly don’t realize that.

This was a warning shot. It’s a promise that if the US escalates the war, Iran will fuck up their gulf allies and impact the supply of fuel permanently. Their strategy of making the US’s war of aggression everyone else’s problem really is the best strategy they could’ve used without a nuclear deterrent. It won’t win them many allies, but it won’t win the US any either.

Sounds like they should just run with the idea and make high rise mausoleums 🤷‍♀️

It’s so silly that people are rushing to defend vaping here. Just admit that inhaling shit into your lungs isn’t good for you and that the rich people profiting off your addiction want to keep up the charade as long as possible. Just admit, like all people who smoke cigarettes do, that it’s bad for you and that you’ll continue doing it.

I drank diet sodas for years, but I avoided defending it even though the evidence was inconclusive. I know the corporate goons want it to be perceived as healthy, so I don’t want to play into their plans regardless of how convenient it is for me. Our addictions aren’t healthy, and we need to own up to that even if we aren’t strong enough to resist them.

I wouldn’t count on the health of those employees being respected either.

So it wouldn’t have been right to kill Hitler even though he took dictatorial control? It can easily be argued that once a democratically elected leader moves to nullify elections, purges non political government positions, and starts to ignore the authority of other elected positions, that their contract as a democratic leader is null and void. We’re already there with Trump on all accounts. Him starting a war without congressional approval should make it obvious that he will take every shred of power the other branches have left given enough time. His position isn’t the only one we vote on, but he will ensure that no other result matters.

Besides, he plans to stay in office until he dies, and if he corrupts the military with enough loyalists by 2028, he’ll succeed. The only mechanism to remove him will be him dying and hoping his replacements are too weak to maintain the grift. I don’t say this as a call to action, but a statement of fact.

if the us flees from the war, the strait still wont be open due to iran demanding reparations.

lol, no. Keeping the strait closed without the US still attacking makes no sense. They’d just receive even more hostility from the gulf states while wasting money and resources. If the US withdraws, they’ll open the strait so they can focus on preparing for the next war. They’ll demand reparations, but they know full well that they will never get them. Reparations aren’t a serious part of the conversation, only security guarantees that the US won’t immediately attack again.

I fucking love this

but it is my job

Vietnam didn’t have a massive effect on global trade that affects every economy on earth. The longer it goes on, the more major players will want to bring it to a swifter conclusion. It won’t be a multi decade slog between a handful of countries, but a Great War that drags dozens of nations into it. It’s a mini World War, not a forever war like Afghanistan. It’ll only turn into another Vietnam if America tries to nation build, and I think America giving up and going home with Iran in shambles is far more likely.

While those things are problems, they aren’t problems for NATO. NATO is literally a tool built by America for American imperial interests, so Trump throwing it in the trash has more to do with his own personal grievances than advancing American interests.

What about daydreams? ;3
