Lebanon is against peace. They and anybody else doesn't get to complain about being at war.

Is that a rip off of the Royal Game of Ur?

Well since Lebanon is against making peace then Israel is just giving Lebanon what it wants, war with Israel. If it wanted peace it could make peace, the Israelis aren't objecting.

Remember this every time they insist they aren't anti-semitic, but rather anti-zionist.

Even if that were true that just makes it worse since gay number would also include gay divorces before coming out.

I'm confused, it is the official policy of Lebanon to be at war with Israel. Israel is the one that wants peace. They are getting what they asked for.

Also, the $150 dollar price of 2008, when corrected for inflation, is about $225 in 2026 dollars.

So refiners operating on high API will be hurt less and those with low API will be hurt less. This means Venezuela with it's thick oil cannot really replace Saudi's thin oil.

Also, while the middle east is important oil production is much more diversified. This will hurt China more, the US less.

Basically when you refine oil your main supply might be API 14, so you need to blend any oil you have to the API 14 level before you can refine. Basically this means blending thick and thin oil before refining. Middle East oils are typically thin, with a low API.

Each of these benchmarks is different. They have a different API, which is a measure of oil thickness and is vital for refining. Each refinery operates based on a different blend. Brent is thicker than WTI etc. Each refinery operates with a different blend, typically based on the local supply.

It's complicated, even if this is correct, it will happen to a much smaller extent than you might think. The four major oil benchmarks are West Texas Intermediate, Brent Crude, and Urals. For US, EU and Russia. Middle east oil trades with reference to the Brent Crude price point.

The red-blooded American 'patriots' who tried to kill Rep-Mullin on Jan 6th. What a weasle.

There is more coverage than there are facts. The people reporting this are liars and murderers who, at best, put a girls school inside a military base. Putting the school there is the war crime of non-distinction, it is a war crime specifically for this reason, that it will be hit in war.

We know for a fact that Anthropic's AI does not do this. They were basically declared an enemy of the state for refusing to let AI make kill decisions. Humans decided this.

Humans also decided to put a girls school inside the vital parts of an Iranian Air Base.

Thank Greenland, not Denmark. I know it's a bit complicated for outsiders, but Greenland saved the Submariner, with minor Danish help. Greenland is it's own country. It's status is similar to that of Canada before 1867 when it became a Dominion.

Biden's mistake was
A) not ensuring the legal processes were not completed within 4 years
B) assuming that the US voters would not vote for a 34 times felonious electoral fraudster and adjudicated rapist.

That submariner should be grateful the US government couldn't take his healthcare, provided by the Greenland Health Care system, away from him.

Do note, the original numbers do come from institutions controlled by the theocracy. HRNA just affirms that these are the numbers they are reporting.

Mind you, I very much appreciate the 'rough men' who keep us safe while we sleep. We just need to interrogate the contents of their characters.

Orwell would not have said it because he feared 'rough men' rather than appreciated their protection.

Churchill would not have said it because nobody belittled the protection of 'rough men' or 'the few' in Churchill's time.

It is wrongly attributed to Orwell, who would not have said it, and Churchill, who would also not have said it. But to a columnist in the 90s who was inspired by a Kipling poem that expressed the same idea.

Plato also said something similar attributing it to Socrates.

Considering the conflict between Anthropic and the DoW just recently, the answer is no. Anthropic refused to do specifically that and Hegseth blew his gasket and declared Anthropic an enemy of the state.

They should have been garantors too. It was an objectively good deal, the problem is that Putin decided to ignore it, not that the deal was bad, the deal was good. 3 fewer nuclear powers is good.

They won't. They will say yes, but we need help in other areas to make up for sending resources to the Gulf.

And ask for Patriots or other more pressing equipment.

This is something I can approve of. Forcing me to assemble boards to make the "ResΓΈlute" desk is a war crime.

China didn't. The signatories were US, UK, Russia, Ukraine, Kazakhstan and Belarus. France should have been there too, much to their disgrace.

If the US did this because they themselves were reserving the right to do this in the future it might make some kind of sense.. but, they don't. Or at least don't tell Kegsbreath he can do this.

This is a case of hoping that this helps Russia win or win quicker.

However Russia is losing.
