Bill Clinton was elected president 34 years ago and he is STILL younger than all but one of his successors to the office.
Huh. This is interesting.
People in this administration canβt seem to help being besties wirh foreign agents.

The estimated of the death toll from starvation and disease from the loss of USAID is expected to be ~14 million over the next five years.
Sorry to be a rain cloud. If Hell were real, it would be too good for these motherfuckers.
We also cut 10+ billion from USAID , condemning to death by hunger and disease tens of thousands of poor and children worldwide. Thatβs 10 days of this stupid war.
The Orange Shitstain has cut $2.5 billion from Medicaid, claiming they can't afford it, kicking poor people off health insurance so they can give asshole billionaires even more money they can't even begin to spend.
Yet they spend about $1,000,000,000 a day on this war of whim.
Let that sink in.
The number that should terrify every energy desk in the world is not 254.
It is seven.
That is the cascade mechanism. And it has a name in energy economics.
It is called strategic reserve depletion under sustained supply shock. The last time it happened at this scale was 1973. That ended with the global recession of 1974 and a complete restructuring of Western energy policy.
The countries with reserves will deploy them in sequence, each release sending a price signal that accelerates the clock for the countries beneath them on the buffer ladder.
This is the thing the aggregate numbers obscure. When analysts say Asia faces disruption, they are averaging 254 days of Japanese preparedness with zero days of Pakistani preparedness and calling it a regional crisis of moderate concern.
India: Gas cuts to industry of 10 to 30% already implemented. Not projected. Implemented. Today.
South Korea: 1.6 million barrels per day through Hormuz.
Japan has three weeks of LNG inventories.
Pakistan: no strategic reserve.
Bangladesh: no strategic reserve.
No buffer. No option. No plan B.
Every country in Asia is running the same clock right now.
They just have very different numbers.
Japan: 254 days. The most prepared nation on earth.
China: approximately 10 days before domestic operations face real constraints. Already halted diesel exports to protect what it has.
If this is even half right, its really important:

It's kinda like Kurosawa making a movie about religious zealots each pursuing the same damn thing, but from different perspectives.
We know it exists and we know where it is, yet we didn't obliterate it six months ago when we said we had completely obliterated all of their enriched uranium?
This really is all about Christian nationalists trying to spark the apocalypse. It's the only argument that hasn't completely folded.
An observation:
In 21st century America the word "Christian" means whatever the person calling themselves "Christian" says it means.
Including [checks notes] completely ignoring that socialist lib named βJesus.β Iβm not sure how you pronounce that but it sounds foreign.
Oh my! Iβm clutching my pearls over this commentβ¦because it would be impossible to like it more. All the other comments will never be the same to me. Also Iβm stealing it soz.
Well when you put it *that* wayβ¦.
Yeah.

With the administration angling for a Reichstag fire event, and other members of the GOP acting as if they have nothing to fear - that itβs βin the bagβ - thereβs every reason to believe that there will be no midterm elections.
Whatβs wrong?
US bombs are going to Iran and not supporting Ukraine. Oil prices are spiking so more rubles are coming in. Trump is relaxing restrictions on Russian oil exports so they can fund more munitions for their invasion! ME refugees to Europe inflame tensions!
Everythingβs coming up Vova!
As terrible as this is, the NYT has absolutely buried the lede:
βTrump has loosened restrictions on Russian oil exports in a bid to temper rising gas prices. The easing of Russian oil sanctions, which were intended to help force an end to the war in Ukraine.β
Thatβs what the phone call was about.
Gosh, just 10/10 no notes on this one. Flawless.

Putinβs success:
US bombs are going to Iran and not Ukraine. Oil prices are spiking so more rubles are coming in. A prolonged war leads to a refugee crisis of Muslims heading for Europe, similar to what happened in Syria. That triggers the right-wing anti-EU parties.
