  • The Islamic Republic of Iran will conduct dialogue with the Sultanate of Oman to define the future administration and maritime services in the Strait of Hormuz, in discussion with other Persian Gulf littoral states in line with the applicable international law and the sovereign rights of coastal states of the Strait of Hormuz.

    That part just means they have to talk about it…

    Like if I walked up to you and said I wanted your house. You 100% can say no, but we just had a dialogue about it

    That meets the obligation


  • Upon the signing of this M.O.U., the Islamic Republic of Iran will make arrangements using its best efforts for the safe passage of commercial vessels with no charge for 60 days only from the Persian Gulf to the Sea of Oman, and vice versa. The traffic of commercial vessels will immediately start, and considering the need for removing the technical and military obstacles and demining by the Islamic Republic of Iran, will be instated within 30 days. The Islamic Republic of Iran will conduct dialogue with the Sultanate of Oman to define the future administration and maritime services in the Strait of Hormuz, in discussion with other Persian Gulf littoral states in line with the applicable international law and the sovereign rights of coastal states of the Strait of Hormuz.

    Literally saying Iran can charge tolls for any traffic thru the strait…

    That’s a fucking huge amount of economic power, and everyone has to pay whatever they demand




  • Biden was a zionist through and through.

    That’s my point…

    Biden was very open about the reason he’d give Israel anything, was a conversation he had with his dad as a very small child which boiled down to: the Jewish people have been treated even worse than Catholics, no matter what happens you have to always support Israel because they’ll come for Catholics next.

    Regardless of anything else, Biden will always be 100% loyal to Israel because of that

    trump doesn’t give a fuck about Israel if the arrangement is no longer profitable to him personally, he’s out.

    So Israel was better off with Biden/Kamala, because Kamala would be 100% loyal to Israel for just the money. But we will never have a more Israel aligned president than Biden, and Bibi is a fucking idiot for not doing all he could to get Biden a second term because of that


  • He really fucked up backing trump over Kamala…

    She’d have given him everything he wanted just like Biden did.

    But Bibi’s far right supporters wanted trump, and he can barely hang onto power with them. Eventually Israel is going to have elections again, and the Israelis that support the genocides aren’t happy because there’s not enough genocide, and the ones against it aren’t happy there’s any genocide.

    Bibi has never had a chance of re-election because of that, that’s why he’s cancelled ~5 elections in a row.

    If trump pulls out and leaves Israel to fight alone, we’ll actually see change in Israels government


  • It’s not just that precedent…

    It’s giving them 1/3 of a trillion dollars to fortify the stait.

    Like, we showed them they can’t trust America long term, then essentially gave them a blank check to scale up defenses.

    Like, their drones are <30k each…

    They can build over 10 million of them and have billions of dollars left over.

    This will most likely be looked at similarly to how WW1 was mainly just setting the stage for WW2, we all accomplished nothing and just gave a bunch of countries reasons to sink all their money into their militaries


  • While I agree with you to an extent, I bet many people who use gun safes properly are also mindful of cleaning themselves and their clothing after shooting.

    Yeah, no one ever said they didn’t. Or that any group was the same.

    My point was that storage method didn’t matter.

    Any correlation is likely because someone who buys a gun and only plans to touch it “when they need it” are going to likely keep it in a safe.

    Regardless of how well you think you’re cleaning yourself tho, you’re being lead home from shooting. It takes a lot to actually mitigate it, and even if you think you are, you’re not.



  • It wasn’t a mistake…

    It was an obvious and deliberate play between Hillary and DWS:

    On the phone Gary told me the DNC had needed a $2 million loan, which the campaign had arranged.

    “No! That can’t be true!” I said. “The party cannot take out a loan without the unanimous agreement of all of the officers.”

    “Gary, how did they do this without me knowing?” I asked. “I don’t know how Debbie relates to the officers,” Gary said. He described the party as fully under the control of Hillary’s campaign, which seemed to confirm the suspicions of the Bernie camp. The campaign had the DNC on life support, giving it money every month to meet its basic expenses, while the campaign was using the party as a fund-raising clearinghouse. Under FEC law, an individual can contribute a maximum of $2,700 directly to a presidential campaign. But the limits are much higher for contributions to state parties and a party’s national committee.

    Individuals who had maxed out their $2,700 contribution limit to the campaign could write an additional check for $353,400 to the Hillary Victory Fund—that figure represented $10,000 to each of the 32 states’ parties who were part of the Victory Fund agreement—$320,000—and $33,400 to the DNC. The money would be deposited in the states first, and transferred to the DNC shortly after that. Money in the battleground states usually stayed in that state, but all the other states funneled that money directly to the DNC, which quickly transferred the money to Brooklyn.

    “Wait,” I said. “That victory fund was supposed to be for whoever was the nominee, and the state party races. You’re telling me that Hillary has been controlling it since before she got the nomination?”

    Gary said the campaign had to do it or the party would collapse.

    “That was the deal that Robby struck with Debbie,” he explained, referring to campaign manager Robby Mook. “It was to sustain the DNC. We sent the party nearly $20 million from September until the convention, and more to prepare for the election.”

    I swear the main reason people don’t appreciate today’s DNC, is they’re ignorant of what went down up till this chair was sat.

    Like, that’s literally the same “victory fund” Biden got, than Kamala got, and finally this DNC chair started paying back to state parties almost immediately.

    That’s why we keep doing so well in special elections, the state parties are funded for the first time in a decade.





  • In a country with more guns than people, that’s like saying you’re surprised people with a driver’s license don’t all drive F350 super duty’s…

    Even worse, because when push comes to literal shove, the people with the most guns make the decisions. January 6th should have proved that if nothing else did, if they had showed up with guns they’d have accomplished their goals easily.

    Don’t take it for granted that America will never need another revolution, or that a couple thousand armed people can’t accomplish anything.

    Fuck man, now more than ever it’s the responsibility of every good American to own and be proficient with a rifle.

    Take a fucking look around, you think trump is handing the White House to anyone in 2.5 years?

    Buy a fucking rifle while you can if you haven’t already, or at least stop shit talking people who take logical precautions with our current reality.


  • They really can’t…

    They can learn some critical thinking later, but it’ll never be the same as if they learned it as children.

    Like if you found out you were in the Olympics for the 100m sprint next year. You could improve your performance in a year, but you’ll never match someone whose trained their whole life at it.

    For all intents and purposes every improvement between now and next year aren’t gonna matter, last place is last place, regardless of your time.

    That’s what it would be like to not learn critical thinking until an adult.
