get ready for some exciting election ~~night~~ month coverage

i have been seeing a ton of articles saying that Ukraine has turned the tide of the war and Russia is doomed.. is it all based on the drones? is there more to it?

I think the Gulf states have a dominant class that see’s the Iranian revolution and its state as an existential threat. They seem to be willing to suspend their disbelief in US security guarantees because they are ideologically committed to the idea that they have no alternative in which they survive. Their money is also tied into the dollar if I am not mistaken, which means they can have their money/power deleted by fiat

so like, is the ceasefire over? seems unrealistic that Iran would let this go without hitting back hard… right?

If I recall, the symptom she claimed he was suffering from (iirc akathesia) can happen from acute benzo withdrawals… which is what almost killed him when he went cold-turkey off of benzos because of him and his daughters disgust at the idea of taking more benzos to safely wean off of them

Sen. John Kennedy (R-La.) said Cuban officials "take all their money and they give it to the military and the police and themselves, and to hell with the good people."

Its like the most cogent description of the United States I have ever read from a US official if you replace “Cuban” with “United States”

I think the true purpose of the shahed copies were to hit sensitive targets outside of the current conflict zone to stoke blame on Iran and widen the conflict

If you wake up at night with your heart pounding you might consider getting tested for sleep apnea. Sleep apnea can cause cardiac strain during sleep and resolves when you wake up and breathe unobstructed, but long term the stress on the heart can lead to atrial fibrillation and eventually CHF. Another sign of sleep apnea is waking up frequently in the night to pee, seems unrelated, but it causes disregulation of antidiuretic hormone

It is sort of puzzling how, after the US provokes a conflict and then demonstrates it cannot protect the UAE at all… they double down on the US as a regional guarantor and forsake even a nominally independent foreign policy

Vance literally converted to Catholicism less than a decade ago. Imagine being an adult, converting to Catholicism, and then letting someone who subsists off of the blood of younger people and even says he is an atheist convince you that the motherfucking pope is the antichrist… And Vance does not suspect Theil (who seems to live in the uncanny valley) or the literal disembodied voices created by mankind that have already been leading people to madness, of being the antichrist.. If this were fiction the story would be had to believe

idk, given with these statements and “israel” breaking the ceasefire in Lebanon… I don’t understand why Iran doesn’t strike first and hit those refueling jets currently parked in the region that are basically just waiting for the US to order another surprise attack

Based on US state dept/media precedent. If the election takes more than a few hours to decide only a “preliminary” count from a US funded NGO can be accepted on a website set up and hosted prior to the election, doubly so if the country suffers an internet outage/cyber attack. Sorry, those are the rules. Xeno’s paradox can’t withstand the US state department edict
