Stealing Pitchbot's bit: Iran's latest trick to block the heavy fuel means dire straits for our brothers in arms. No money for nothing, no love over gold.
By Maureen Dowd
Is anyone else experiencing debilitating amounts of dread?
I sometimes wonder if we just named "soft power" something like "tall turgid thrusting power" would these guys have been more in favour of it and thereby less self undermining.
it’s a blessing!
oh just a thought if your plan for overthrowing the Iranian government depends on the Iranian public rising up, you likely shouldn't have defunded the American government run news agency that speaks in Farsi.

Above and beyond everything else the insistence that rightwing politicians are the safest custodians of the economy in the face of all the evidence never ceases to baffle me
dire straits.
5/ important note: in a high oil price scenario, countries that produce lots of oil are NOT necessarily protected from effects of high oil prices. If your country’s oil industry is a commercial one that is allowed to export & not under heavy state control, yr citizens pay the global price tra la
impeach. convict. remove. prosecute. rinse. repeat.
war is a continuation of policy by idiotic means.
So basically
we should refer to what has happened to Hungary, Israel, the United States as “grayscale revolutions”.

you’ve got to admit he’s just rather definitively addressed affordability.
i know someone said this better a few days ago and i think i even reposted it but my god i’ll never get over the US sabotaging its renewables industry and doubling down on fossil fuel dependency only to force fossil fuel prices sky high. it’s like thanatos, a national death wish.
putting storefronts in every phone was about as good an idea as a technology that makes sure there is always a fresh, open bag of cheetos at hand in every room.
Jacob Kornbluth: Jewish People Policy Institute survey of 692 American Jews with relatively strong ties to the Jewish community, Jewish identity, or Israel: 68% support the U.S. decision to go to war against Iran, while 26% oppose it. https://x.com/jacobkornbluh/status/2030717660032352485
JPPI uses "connected American Jews" to mean respondents who are more engaged in Jewish communal life and more at- tentive to Israel and Jewish issues than the broader public. _The group does not represent all US Jews_.
This sucks but the JPPI is a right wing org established by the Jewish Agency. The poll should be titled "This is what our Zionist friends think."

The MAGA strategy to end democracy in America is similar to that used by other "populist" parties, and is something carefully developed by the Russian intelligence services over many decades.

naming your ex-girlfriend’s new boyfriend supreme leader is the new swatting.
i agree that present leadership has not earned the benefit of the doubt…
has there been any independent reporting contesting or verifying the Iranian claim that the US struck a desalination plant (and if so investigating whether the hit was intentional targeting or due to error)?
Law of war discourse reminds me of a perceptive analyst on Kenyan political corruption: given how permissive the formal rules already are, their persistent violation is real evidence of elite depravity.
i don’t get why people call him grandpa. i never met my grandpas, but i’m pretty sure they were… not at all like him. nothing the fuck like him.
If accusations like the US intentionally destroyed a desalination plant prove true, elite accountability will become a national security imperative. Rehabilitation into multilateral security arrangements will require repudiation of the administration’s crimes, and imposition of a credible deterrent.
Multiple news outlets are reporting a US attack on an Iranian #desalination plant.
If verified, this violates international law protecting #water systems during wars, and it sets a dangerous precedent, given intense dependence of Gulf countries on desalination.
