Wow they should call you Mistake Not My Current State Of Joshing Gentle Peevishness For The Awesome And Terrible Majesty Of The Towering Seas Of Ire That Are Themselves The Mere Milquetoast Shallows Fringing My Vast Oceans Of Wrath
Kinda feels like Iran has been preparing for 20 years for this one
Same as it ever was. Same plan for Vietnam, which I guess was based more in reality. Same plan for Iraq.
But I guess the real plan is to just bomb as much as possible. All that capital literally exploded and cleared away, pay contractors to make more and bomb that too. The perfect hole to throw money in. Any blowback is perfect, more reason for them to bomb other places.
Prices go up in the imperial core and it sucks for sure, itll be harder. More people will be impoverished. Prices going up in the imperial core though means more food gets shipped there (thats where prices are up) which means there will be less in the global south for any price.
Canada has plenty of oil, fertilizer, agricultural land and Mexico (and the US depending on tarrif regime) are nearby too for ag products. But even for us its gonna suck, just not as bad as the global south.
The violence is channeled into stochastic spectacular targets with no particular ideological end. The people who did that i the 70s grew up when mass politics was more a real thing in the 50s and 60s and there was a sense things could be changed. We've almost completely lost that today
I remember talking to a friend of mine who considers herself leftist and she was real politik pragmatism about the PMO issuing a statement on support being a good thing. And I was like "wtf are they gonna do, put more tarrifs on us if we dont support them like they already did?? Who cares? Norway and Ireland both dont support this, we could join them if we were serious about the whole 'taking the sign down' thing."
"Yeah no dude once you scratch it you wreck the mint condition"
Bit idea: guy who's retirement plan is scratchers. He doesnt play em, he just buys one a week to sell later as "vintage scratchers"
Sometimes I wish the fever dream of Russia-Iran-China coordination was like real. Iran right now with Kinzhals would probably mean fewer dead kids
With enough soy we can control the world
