the median voter’s american dream is to endlessly sow without reaping.
to have the reaping be somebody else’s problem.
to have whoever reaps be someone they don’t have to see or hear about.
Entitled remote worker drags their head of on-site security
Wait wait wait.
So China showed up with them LNG tankers, instead of warships, and then fed em the clams in chicken broth
Imagine if you had an idea for a beer, right. Not a proper beer, but a beer
But you wanted to make it cheaper and faster
But you didn't make it cheaper
So everyone, including you, has to pretend they're getting moneys worth until it approaches Stockholm syndrome or perpetuating their oppressors
So our two destroyers followed same route that Indian cargo ship took yesterday, right?
They have to know that was included in there as an obvious point for us to reject, right?
We reject that and ask something else
That they can never keep that up long-term and we could point that out and... easy starting point. Basically a freebie
Right?
They saw that ppl can simply tell us "No"
Not even just no. But "no" and refuse to explain themselves. Dismissive NOs. Insulting NOs. NO as a form of talking down.
That it's possible and we can have to take it like anyone else.
Hard to express how large of an L this is for the US
The redhat worshipers can shout and cry and wail that everything is fine or good somehow
But the entire world saw the America rage and whine and uglycry - and then watched us flinch first
...saw that deals can be made without and around us
I see the news trying to make headlines of Russia and China trading with Iran and it's like...
...yeah. That's how trade partners work.
Ppl you haven't needlessly angered that buy your stuff and bring you stuff can help you.
It's been an honor apocalypse-watching with y'all
Same time next week?
One thing I don't think that's being appreciated enough is how many no-minutes meetings were called and big sealed envelopes were cracked open, around the world this morning
And yeah the whole first part is... I mean y'all saw
But look at how it's mixed with media and trope. He's replaying the parts he's seen...flavored with stupid and hate
And he can't separate where media and irl stop and start any more than he can between murican and iranian press releases
The wording on the end of that still reads very mixed-media
Been watching too many of their press releases and thinks that's how you end a statement
Does America have an opposition leader or do they just sit out until it’s election time again? A very strange system where there’s nobody to challenge you.
....lucky
Of course, she's forklift certified
If you've actually sat with old ppl you hear this type of thing
They'll include things from the last show episode of something on the TV or the story you just told them, as a life story or their opinion of something
We're hearing a mix of his highlight reel briefings and translated rejections
You know he's sitting around watching middle eastern replies and rejections to him
Hearing glory to and praise be
And his brain is at that stage where it's mixing it in because it all runs together
Like we all see it right
The pieces of briefings he's watched repeated back mixed in with his normal stupid thoughts
That end of life dementia
Las Vegas should be razed to the ground. Rancid vibes on every level.
Threw it on a fresh playthrough and forgot about it
Caught me completely off guard and set up the whole expansion
Super simple level but communicates so much so suddenly
You go from contented to oh no oh no oh no reeeeeal quick
First mission, shadows of kerensky dlc
..we just left rasalhague, whatever
Assault lance, maxxed pilots, lvl5 mods - everything so easy lalala... Escorting so easy lalala

Dr. Frankenstein is absolutely the monster
Every time someone is like: actually Frankenstein wasn't the name of the monster...
I try to interrupt them right there: ...did you actually read the book!?
Euros had a 40 country trade meeting w/o US
Russia suggests a grain & energy hub would make supplying grain easier to the controller of Suez
one of China's energy partners is going to need infrastructure, while they're on an infra building rampage that's going on two decades strong
This is fine
... And the more leaders you kill, the bigger a signal it is that you're not actually there to talk
Which. Some ppl understand. None of our ppl. But participants
The problem with the 15-pt plan is...
That's a plan you have a ground commander toss onto the table after you've gathered their captured leadership in their conquered capital
Not that you have an intermediary present after they weathered your blows and asked if that's all you got
Sometimes I still watch Predators, hoping the whole tone and cinematography won't change 51% of the way through...
They almost had something and threw it away for a tax break
Liking the franchise means pretending the first half of Predators is actually 90%+ of the movie
“.. They have to treat the President like a child,” wrote Rep. Seth Magaziner. “So embarrassing for everyone involved.”

I feel like every analysis of Kharg Island possibilities are overthinking it
He sees those storage tanks and thinks that's where all the oil is in the whole country - and that's his entire "understanding" of the situation or as deeply as his thinking goes
