Iran War

[garbon]

So has the zone been flooded with so much illegal shit at this point that we don't care about civilian infrastructure being targeted with no apparent military reason?

Yeah no one has posted about it. So odd.

This is what the AfD wants for Germany.

Sure, but they are more into camps and deportations like ICE, not terror bombing in far away countries.

It's the first time I see a head of state proudly announcing he's about to commit war crimes. I don't think even Putin does that.

Why would he care? He won't face any repercussions. His constituents won't be bothered and it's not like america will face sanctions. Putin has to pretend to care because Russia can still feel consequences, however minor.

We live in bizarre times.

Melania and the Easter bunny have the same confused look on their faces.

The Iranians responded to Trump's infrastructure plan by blowing up the Sabic petrochemical plant in Saudi. No biggie, just 10% of the world's oil output going offline.

It's hard to keep up with the volume and diversity(!) of proposed and actual war crimes at this point coming out of our government.

Who could have possibly imagined that if the Supreme Court gave the President absolute criminal immunity for all criminal acts that it might embolden Trump to break the law?  If that prospect was beyond the imaginations of the vast intellects on the Supreme Court, it is far beyond the ken of us pathetic mortal minds.

[Syt]

Does he have enough willing sycophants to push the big red button if he tells them to?

[The Brain]

I used to think that US voters didn't want to nuke their own country, but now who the fuck knows?

Yes, I was being facetious.

IEA chief: current oil and gas crisis worse than 1973, 1979, 2022 together

PARIS, April 7 (Reuters) - The current oil and ‌gas crisis triggered by the blockade of the Strait of Hormuz is "more serious than the ones in 1973, 1979 and 2022 together", Fatih Birol, the head of the International Energy Agency (IEA), told ⁠Le Figaro newspaper.

"The world has never experienced a disruption to energy supply of such magnitude," he said in an interview with the French newspaper released in its Tuesday edition.

He said the European countries, as well Japan, Australia and others will suffer, but the countries most at risk were developing nations ‌which ⁠will suffer from higher oil and gas prices, higher food prices and a general acceleration of inflation.

The IEA member countries agreed last month to release part of their strategic ⁠reserves. Some of this had already been released and the process continues, said Birol.

In reaction to the strikes by ⁠Israel and the U.S., Iran has almost entirely blocked the traffic in the Strait of Hormuz, ⁠through which about 20% of world oil and gas regularly flows, creating a surge in energy prices.

More words of wisdom from Trump ""You know what's a war crime? Having a nuclear weapon," he said."

Of the three obnoxious regimes involved in this tussle only Iran does not have a nuclear weapon
