@PaulGosling1 No reason why the UK and EU (and others) shouldn't start 'blockading' US digital services in their markets until the Strait is reopened. Meta, X, Netflix, Disney, Amazon (e-commerce side), OpenAI etc etc.
@RichardHaass Richard how many hundreds of billions / trillions do you feel the US should offer in compensation to the economies of the world - including your alleged allies in Asia - for the financial punch in the face your country has levied upon them from the start of this stupid campaign?
@yashar@NadavPollak@biannagolodryga The reporting seems carefully constructed not to confirm that it was actually intercepted, only that it did hit the base.
@afneil On the contrary, in exchange for talks that will never amount to anything he has cast the US as a pariah state in the eyes of Europe and all but made for certain an eventual global decoupling from America's world order. The Art of the Dangerously Incompetent.
@AdversusN@ArmandoNDK โThis isnโt like Iraq, or like Afghanistan, or like Libya, or like Vietnam, or like Nicaragua, or like Lebanon, or like Haiti, or like the other dozen timesโ
Utterly delusional. You think itโll go better this time with Generalisimo Brain Damage at the helm?
@FraserNelson@adamboultonTABB Arguing that todays events will somehow herald a degree of global stability is patently absurd. What is Win Number 6 projected to be - the heat death of the universe?
@FraserNelson@adamboultonTABB In the fantasy land that the power void is seamlessly filled by a democratic opposition that isnโt viewed with total contempt by the populace as the puppets facilitating American thievery of their natural resources, it at best gives more cover to future China/Russian annexations.
@OhNoezzz@afneil No my point is itโs ludicrous to suggest from the outset that you can just abduct a countryโs leader and that the democratic opposition just waltz into the void left. The more likely outcome disarray, power struggles, and significant violence.
