This is not a proper tram, but really a battery bus on tram tracks. So low capacity, charging problems combined with fixed routes.

Bus lanes are a thing and this is built into a road. So not really an advantage. You add rails and switches to the system. Those need to be maintained as well. The prefictability is really a flaw. Busses can go anywhere with a road. Much more flexible.

So basically it can reverse, which can help, but also requires either two drivers or the driver to walk through the train.

What exactly makes this better then a bus?

Higher oil prices. The US has become an oil exporter after all. They also went after Venezuela and Russia for similar reasons.

The Iranian revolution hates monarchirs, so a lot of Arab monarchies like the Saudis or UAE love this. Trump loves those monarchies for plane reasons.

US arms industry sells weapons.

Iran supplied weapons to Yemen disrupting the Red Sea shipping.

Carbrain: Need big car to win accident!

Train:

It is a series of mult day races using diy solar bicycles. No follow car, so if something breaks it has to be fixed using local resources.

Heatpumps produce 3-5 times more heat then the electricity put into them. EVs are about as bad as a n ice car, even when run on coal electricity. Also we know how to replace coal based electricity.

and the nasty part with that is, that the only option to end Yemens strike on shipping by force, is to hit them on the ground before they can launch. The US tried to do that and then realized that they did not have enough ammounition to actually destroy the Yemenis. With Iran it is much worse and China invading Taiwan would be a similar problem, but on an even more massive scale.

That is why the US has announced that they will protect US infrastructure in the region and not Israeli. That is not normal at all.

and Taiwan becomes safer, the clearer it is that the West will support it in case of an invasion.

However the bad part is that this drives up the oil price helping Russia.

They already launched drones against Israel and some of them got shot down by the Saudis.

Iran produces 5% of global oil and there are a lot more oil producers in the region, which might end up getting involved. Saudi Arabia, UAE, Iraw, Kuwait and Qatar come to mind. We did see Iran attacking Saudi oil production a few years ago, so this might happen again. Hopefully not, but still.

The admin uses terms like "lib-shit" users on lemmy.ee as a reason for defederating from them. There are a lot of users on here, which are not full on Communists and with that sort of admin team, this is not going to end well.
