Wow. I did not realize that Jasmine Crockett did not even hire a campaign manager. She really thought this was going to be a coronation.
We very well may have two elections in a row where the unpopular VP becomes the presidential nominee by default and gets stomped
One side of this equation is much, much more likely
Rolling Stone is publishing pro-war advertorials by an Israeli government agent now:
Full circle moment. A fire has broken out at a Haliburton-owned warehouse in Iraq's Basra after a drone attack from Iran.
Incredible things are happening
Jet fuel has doubled in price. We are probably not that far off from some number of flights being grounded.
Lmao
Where do you get that from? They grew 5% last year and they slightly adjusted downwards because they want to cut back slightly on exports and make their economy more self-sufficient. You can say they are lying or whatever, but they do not signal concern at all.
Yes but a quarter of those oil imports are from Russia, Iran can still export to them, plus China is already a massive exporter so it can shift exports domestically (which they just announced). And sure, their disastrous GDP growth forecast is .... 5 percent.
Examples of this are everywhere, but my favorite right now is Rachel Maddow. Trump officials walked in front of cameras and said "we're in this war because of Israel," but that's not scandalous enough for Maddow. She is conspiracizing about how the Gulf monarchies actually bribed Trump into war.
I don’t know if this is a newer phenomenon or not, but it seems to me that one of our strongest psychological pulls is towards uncovering some “deeper hidden truth.” Even in cases where the straightforward story is provocative and scandalous, people opt for some hidden reality.
A one month chart of oil prices
Oil prices are going parabolic. This is insane.
Good to see. He's not a labor leader, he's a culture warrior.
It's frustrating that China doesn't serve as a counterweight to the US that the USSR did, but from the Chinese perspective it makes a lot of sense. The US is depleting its military resources for no particular strategic advantage, including its Pacific missile defense stock. Why mess with that?
Yeah, I maintain that this is the big split from the US/Irael side. The US wants a compliant pro-western leader to exploit economically, whereas Israel wants a completely failed state stripped of all state capacity.
There is good reason to believe that the Iranian regime is unpopular. If you wanted to have a revolutionary uprising, you wouldn't start by mass murdering a bunch of schoolchildren and then carpet bombing the middle class, educated northern suburbs of Tehran (e.g., the heart of the opposition)
It's been hard for me to find definitive information, but I think the reality is less clean than that. I know at least one Chinese ship was allowed through, but for the most part China is not going through Hormuz either. They just basically suspended oil exports today to keep their supply domestic.
Pakistan and Bangladesh have NO strategic reserves. India just announced a cut to production yesterday to save what little they have left. China has 10 days' worth of reserves. The only country with TRUE reserves is Japan, which can last an estimated 254 days.
AXIOS: W.E.D.EM BOYZ SAID THAT HIS GOAL IS TO READ MORE BOOKS AND THAT HE WANTS TO KEEP DOOMSCROLLING ON HIS PHONE
I think most don't understand how "just-in-time" the global oil market works. South Korea says it only has a supply to last 9 more days. Qatar says even if the war ended today, it would take up to a month to get production back to normal. Kuwait is cutting production because they're out of storage.
The U.S. Army abruptly canceled a major training exercise for the 82nd Airborne Division’s headquarters element, fueling speculation within the Pentagon that the unit’s rapid-response force could be deployed to the Middle East, potentially including ground operations.-WaPo
If you (understandably) aren't paying attention to WAPO, you really can't understand how crazy that place has gotten
They're calling him the most reassuring wartime leader of all time
CNN's Dana Bash reports on a conversation she just had with Trump: "He quickly turned to Cuba. He said without being asked, 'Cuba is going to fall pretty soon.'"
Graham Platner being pressed on trans athletes
Even among allies, it's not really in a country's interest to intervene when, say, Israel and Iran are exchanging missiles. But now we have commodity price impacts, oil shocks, coming energy shortages, depletion of missile defenses, etc. This hugely heightens the risk of globalizing the conflict.
