Article said one was sold for scrap in 2025. It may have had problems, but if it floats, and is uninsurable anyways, it’s a good candidate for such a risky mission.

They have most of the Gulf states allied with them and US, even if their people protest it. They make a peep when there are heavy genocide days, but forgive easy.

According to Scott Bessent (Treasury secretary), Iran will be selling the oil for USD which the US will promptly freeze. Iran knows to not sell in USD, but in case it didn’t, I does now.

uh oh… if only GPUs could do proof of work mining, if the AI thing gets oversupplied.

Sam Altman floated paying employees in chatGPT tokens, that surely their landlord will accept. The main motive would be being broke. Nvidia is not broke, but it is weird as fuck to be comparing it to salary, if it doesn’t segue into the OpenAI plan. The $500k salary example would seem to generate more tokens than you could have time to skim over in review.

This is like criticizing a sports team: “Wait, so it’s good for YOU to get the ball in the basket, but it’s bad for THEM to get the ball in the basket?

It’s different. You are agreeing to the principle of rules when you play sport. May the best team win according to the principles.

A good reason to not start a game of genocide is “what do you deserve if you lose”? Best to stay within rules made to promote civilization.

There’s a good chance that he is only demanding a bribe for peace. If they do not agree, colour revolutions will be made against them, and perhaps Iran will have more influence over them, unless they pay US for peace that preserves their monarchies. The war costs are the destruction of their country.

This is the only coherence to report.

13 months of 28 days each. New Years is its own day outside of a month. Monday is first of each month. New Year’s is not a day of the week. Leap year feb 29th is moved to May to be a nice weather day for most of the world. It too is a holiday, and not a day of the week.

Name this holiday, and bonus, the 13 months.

long but Chinese perspective on end to the story. https://x.com/i/status/2035826702912455065

There were indeed massive trade blocks 5 minutes prior to announcement.

US has been negotiating with Reza Pahlavi, is only explanation that would make both sides consistent.

Negotiations were “We will bomb power infrastructure”. Response: “Here is exact GCC infrastructure we will destroy in response.”

Iran needs to demand Joe Kent be the US negotiator instead of Mossad agents Witkoff+Kushner, because they will certainly bs through/sabotage negotiations for Israel. No one in Iran has said they have heard of any negotiations/offers from US so far.

Latest move is most likely a Trump bluff to start negotiations, fundamentally ready to accept Iran terms. Israel sabotage attempts are a certainty.

I did take original quote from FB post. But Rutte is a subhuman demonic pig fucker. with all of the warmongering garbabe boiler plate you quoted, he would definitely stretch all credibility to exaggerate Iran threat, if it were within reasonable possibility to do so.

TIL… I’m not sure Bushear 1 is operational through war. AFAIU, they struck the incomplete Bushear 2 a couple of days ago.

The biggest user of Helium is MRIs at about 40% of global demand. Chips were 20%, but maybe they are catching up. Since AI chips, or even ddr5, has such huge profit margins, expect MRIs to be less insurable instead. No more fiber optics or quantum computing research.

maximum and minimum are indeed 100 vs -100, but net favourability rating of -40 means 70 vs 30 unfavourable vs favourable.

Article failed to mention the literal edge of the precipice latest ultimatum: Destroy Iranian energy over an extra $100-$200/bbl oil price retaliation, and despair in GCC puppets vs. the previous 24 hours earlier threat of a good time: US leaves and world figures out Straights of Hormuz. Literally simple, and the greatest favour US could do for humanity.

Rather than complaining that Trump is out of control, hope that he is grasping for options, and world can knock some sense into him.

Israelis that stay away from Palestinian hospital war fortresses of doom would be out of range.

With all of the Russia mentions in this thread, sometimes falling out of a window is pro democracy.
