We thought Milei was the student but he was the master all along

Let’s start a trade war while also removing all stimulatory spending and let’s ensure the available capital gets locked up by an incompetent hereditary owner class all at the same time.

The next 5 years will suck but the Chinese century begins 2030.

Israel attacks Turkey

Turkey invokes article 4

USA bombs itself for supporting Israel

Pushing back not to debate-lord but to test these ideas out. I am not sure either.

I certainly don’t think morality or norms constrain Israel here. But I’m doing my best to think in a materialist manner here so morality nor norms come into it anyway.

The more Israel pushes in, the closer they push into the caliphate, the more likely conflict is with the caliphate. So I see Israeli expansion as self-limiting.

The supply lines into Syria are shit and naturally choked via Golan. If they can’t push into Lebanon, they can’t push into a 2nd or 3rd tier city in Syria. If they can’t sustain operations in Gaza and 3km north of Israel, they can’t sustain operations 10s to 100 kms from Israel via Golan.

The “Greater Israel” faction is real and influential, but that’s a centuries long project not a mad dash into Kursk. Hopefully they try and incite the Caliphate into being another Hezbollah but I think they’re probably smarter than that.

He was under cover, playing a long game, but Agente Seis ha sido activado

This means the ICC have ruled upon the “are Jewish people POC” topic

Literally the last thing you’ll see before the world ends

Every time

Huh weird this happens just after Iran gets angry at Russia for not respecting their interests.

Nothing like a mutually beneficial oil pipeline to settle regional differences.

Saudi Arabia ‘open’ to petroyuan, closer China ties, minister says

A top official from Saudi Arabia said the country is “open to new ideas” – including use of the yuan in crude settlements

“The Petroyuan is not substantial to [the ministry], we believe Saudi Arabia will do what’s in its best interest … but I think Saudi Arabia will always try new things, and is open to new ideas, and we try not to mix politics with commerce,” Khorayef said in an interview on Saturday in Hong Kong.

At this point I think you can add “Russia takes Kyiv” to your bingo card as a still-unlikely but once again plausible outcome of this war going by the way the eastern front is collapsing.

It will last for one episode of increasingly open metaphors for minecrafting elected officials and at the end of the episode you hear “FBI open up”
