The counterpoint is that he was losing support because of foreign propaganda and outside intervention, namely through sanctions and a total blockade of Iranian oil. Mossadegh felt he was acting for the good of Iran to nationalize its oil industry and that the oil boycott force by the UK through intercepting tankers with Iranian oil was illegal…

It's not like those billions are laying around. They are in banks all over the world, out of reach. It is family based, I don't know all the details of how succession works, but they'll probably need to wipe out quite a few people at once, people that might be across the world in general. So let’s envision how this goes down: you, a Saudi royal…

PROTEST. EVERY DAY. General strike. Every day. Boycott everything. Don’t stop til they’re gone. Shut down the economy. Revolt. Change the system.

I'm not disagreeing with you. But I sat down to consider if we did a day-trip to a location where we go hiking sometimes. It struck me that it would not be a slam-dunk that we'd get there and back on a charge. Especially not in winter. I'm not at all trying to say it can't be done. That particular highway has at least 1 charging rest center that I…

When reduced to the arcing uppy-downy ones then yes ballistics sound easier, the reality of flying a missle moving at several times the speed of sound through a designated window from the edge of space is a little more complex. Terrain following in reality would likely be the easier option of the two requiring as little as a altimeter and and…

Who said anything about good guys or bad guys? I'm talking about the small state/big state dynamic in regional wars and its relationship to geopolitics as a whole (specifically a big state attempting to enforce hegemony over the smaller state through hard power).

Think about the thing he’s suspending whole legislative months of congress that they could be passing their own laws in. If he’s willing to forfeit the control of government to stop the release of the files, there must be something pretty terrible still in there. They didn’t have a 1000 agents working for nothing. They are afraid of something…

Sure, but none of that affects Trump. Literally nobody on the planet is unaware of Trump fucking kids. Half the country doesn't care and the other half can't stop writing strongly worded letters long enough to do anything about it. Trump isn't doing what he's doing because of the Epstein files, he's genuinely an incompetent asshole all on his own.

Nah the Houthi-Saudi conflict has been on & off for over a decade now. It’s mostly about the Houthis wanting all of Yemen, and KSA backing the internationally recognized Yemeni government. Iran does arm the Houthis, but they’re functionally much more independent than a group like Hezbollah which takes its orders directly from Tehran.

I heard its even worse in Jordan. one of my friends, she comes from a east banker tribe that goes way back with the Hashemites. Her grandfather was a friend of Hussein, her late dad knew Faisal and El-Hassan well, etc....the way her father told it to her it was just a big "wasta game"
-
Saudis also are responsible for a lot of this stupidity. They kicked the UAE out in a dispute when the UAE was helping strengthen a faction of the anti Houthi alliance. They are complete incompetence as a military and they keep escalating with the Houthis.
-
The US does not actively defend Israel from eg Hezbollah though, Israel does that themselves which they better because their defense budget is massive. So is Saudi Arabia’s, it’s the same thing Saudi is just incompetent really. They don’t have hard skills
-
Yea but the Saudi Army intentionally sucks and is built on nepotism. If they were capable of defeating the Houthis on their own, they would be capable of over throwing the royal family.

When terrorists attack you it doesnt count according to reddit. Actually any country that gets hit by terrorists deserved it because of colonialism or racism or something.

and now Republicans are trying to have the DOJ “investigate” the oil companies for “price gouging”. That’s who they think is making the gas prices high.

"internationally recognized" basically means whoever the US supports and whichever other countries want to keep their lips on the US's teats

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Uniparty Still doesn't change the fact that people should vote for the Dems instead of the Reps, though.
