“I’m going to punish those nations by making Americans pay more tax.” And then finding that the tariffs didn’t work because America doesn’t actually make those products or if they do they’re so inferior that people would rather pay the much higher price for imported goods.
That’s because the US Navy isn’t actually in the Strait of Hormuz where it could actually manage a blockade with the amount of ships it has but is instead doing the blockade in the Gulf of Oman and the Indian Ocean which is a massive area. It’s not operating in the Strait or the Persian Gulf for fear of being attacked by the Iranian missiles and boats that Trump said he’d 100% destroyed.
The blockade isn’t being done in the Strait of Hormuz but in the Gulf of Oman and Indian Ocean because the US Navy are scared of being attacked by the missiles and boats that Trump said he’d 100% destroyed. They’ve got no chance of a meaningful blockade in an area that large, especially with GPS spoofing that’s going on.
It’s not because of that, it’s because it’s not a blockade but merely Trump bluster. Turns out that the US Navy actually isn’t operating in the Strait of Hormuz for fear of being attacked by the missiles and Iranian Navy Trump said he 100% destroyed but is in fact operating in the Gulf of Oman and Indian Ocean. Well that’s a massive area, far too big for the US Navy to police on it’s own and with GPS location spoofing it’s like trying to find a needle in a haystack.
It’s got nothing to do with defending Israel. Wind yer neck in. Palestine Action is a proscribed group due to it using violence, damage to property and breaking into military bases to promote and further their political aim, literally text book definition of terrorism.
Remember they’re the ones who broke into a company, threatening the staff with hammers as they smashed up the place and where one of it’s members broke the spine of a female police officer sent to deal with it, hitting her in the back with a sledgehammer as she laid on the floor.
The US may say that it doesn’t extend to Lebanon but the Pakistani Military Chief Field Marshal Asim Munir Trump and Hegseth got to negotiate a ceasefire with Iran said that it does.
But then most encodes still almost all use H.265 or H.264 which still gives you a fat 30Gb file for 4K.
So you can store over 500 films on a 2TB HDD. I’m failing to see the issue.
In that photo he looks like he could be the brother of Zuckfuck and has that same look about him. Zuckfuck is a denier of reality too.
What Trump has agreed to…
Took me just a couple of hours to move all my investments out of the USA and to Europe/Rest of World. Sell all funds that had any investment in USA and move them into ex-USA funds/shares.
The world has quickly disregarded the fact they only a couple of months ago they noisily and publicly executed 10s of thousands of protesters.
Wasn’t 10,000s if you’re referring to Iran. Maybe stop watching Fox News.
Visa and MasterCard, whose systems are still rooted in plastic cards and swipe roller on paper transactions.
No that’s only in the USA where you’re decades behind Europe only recently having discovered Chip and PIN that we’ve been using for over 20 years.
A10 Warthog that was part of the search and rescue operation was also shot down, the pilot managing to eject over the Gulf and parachute to safety in Kuwait, and two Blackhawk helicopters also part of the same S&R operation also got shot up. A bit inconvenient for Trump who said that the US had destroyed all of Iran’s air defence capability.
He can’t declare war without Congress approval yet here we are…
Israel only continues to exist because of US backing. If the US is unable to continue to supply Israel with money, arms, ammunition and to use it’s veto in the UN against any action the UN wants to take against Israel then Israel is done.
Afghanistan…
US: “We’ve got the most sophisticated electronic warfare and counter intelligence systems in the world. We can intercept all their emails, cell phone and radio traffic.”
Taliban…goes back to using carrier pigeons and messengers on motorbikes carrying bits of paper.
They never were. For decades the US has only been in NATO for it’s own enrichment and it’s own defence. The ballistic early warning radar that the US have in the UK aren’t of any use to us, flight times from Russia are so short that we’d not be able to react. But they do give the US a significant amount of time to be warned of inbound nukes and to do something about it for them.
What they going to do, remove the UK from the continent?
But we have plenty of oil. Middle Eastern oil accounts for barely 2%.
It’s turned out to be a typical American military shitshow. Because the US Navy is scared about being attacked by the missiles and boats Trump announced they’d 100% destroyed in the beginning of March they’re actually not operating in the Strait of Hormuz but in the Gulf of Oman and Indian Ocean which is a massive area far too big to remotely effectively police with the number of vessels the USN has.
Add in GPS location spoofing the ships have been doing and it’s like trying to find a needle in a haystack.
