@nestaneth 💯 and probably a belief in the continuation/strengthening of Iranian enrichment programs. Saudi's stated policy is to develop quid pro quo to ensure strategic stability in the Middle East. The US green lighting this... now... is loaded
PRESIDENT TRUMP: An official inside the FBI wrote that she was running, quote, a shadow government, unquote, to keep intelligence about China's election meddling from becoming known and to keep it away from the honorable press.
Document show that during this period, dozens of significant CIA and NSA reports about China's election targeting were kept out of the presidential briefing. These were briefings I would get almost every day. Everything was kept out.
One email among intelligence analysts admitted that they had, quote, deliberately massaged the presidential daily briefing to withhold information regarding Chinese activities related to the election.
Can we just… drop the facade of morality here for a minute and speak candidly?
Iran is RIGHT for striking vessels in the Strait of Hormuz. I said it, I don’t care if you like it. You’re lying to yourself if you want to act like it’s wrong.
The United States launched a war of aggression against a sovereign country, and this is an obvious and long-identified defense maneuver meant to create asymmetric downside against an overwhelmingly more powerful military adversary.
“Ohhhh but it’s wronggg. What about international lawwwww”
Last I checked, slaughtering 120 schoolchildren in Minab is against international law. Last I checked, launching a war of aggression against a sovereign nation like we see here is against international law. Last I checked, bombing water storage and infrastructure facilities is against international law…
… last I checked, the United States killed three Indian sailors in the Strait of Hormuz by attacking a civilian vessel.
“Ohhhhh but maritime lawwww. UNCLOS”
Y’all check on Cuba lately? The last delivery of oil to Matanzas was the Anatoly Kolodkin in MARCH. The United States is the SOLE reason the Universal couldn’t deliver in May. They have blackouts for 22 hours a day. Their hospitals can’t function.
You can whine all you want about morals and ethics, but maybe take a second to realize how stupid you sound doing it.
BREAKING: The UAE is planning to build a new port and container terminal on the country's east cost to bypass the Strait of Hormuz, per FT.
Details include:
1. Dubai's DP World is in talks to develop a new multipurpose port in the coastal area of Fujairah
2. The new project would allow containers to enter and leave the country without having to pass through the Strait of Hormuz
3. Shipments would then be moved on trucks overland to Dubai, Abu Dhabi, and neighboring Gulf countries
The Iran War continues to reshape global trade.
2022 🇷🇺: “Somebody in Russia [should] take [Putin] out.”
2023 🇷🇺:“Russians are dying… best money we’ve ever spent.”
2023 🇵🇸: “Gaza should be flattened.”
2024 🇵🇸: “This is Hiroshima & Nagasaki on steroids.” “If I were Israel, I’d do the same.” “Do whatever you have to do.” “Pull the Palestinian school system up by its roots and destroy it.”
2025 🇵🇸: “We’re killing all the right people.”
2026 🇮🇷: “We will obliterate them” over Strait of Hormuz.
I’m shocked that so many people are mourning his death. Mourning a monster doesn’t humanize the monster. It dehumanizes the mourner.
CENTCOM: At President Trump’s direction, U.S. forces will resume blockading maritime traffic to and from Iranian ports on July 14 at 2000Z (4 p.m. ET).
The blockade applies to vessels entering or leaving Iranian ports. Commercial shipping not violating the blockade may continue transiting regional waters. Mariners are advised to monitor official navigation notices and contact U.S. naval forces in the Gulf of Oman and Strait of Hormuz.
@solassefa Generally true. But if my memory serves me right, we have distribution losses exceeding transmission losses. Dedicated supply for the industrial applications can be a start then distribute to smaller consumers. Locating the plant deep in the country erases power savings.
@solassefa Transporting power is cheaper and safer than transporting the product - Dessie/Kombolcha (if Asseb gets looped) or Dire Dawa would be optimal I suppose.
Imagine if we did this with our excess capacity at Gerd instead of Bitcoin mines. Aluminum is another metal that requires a huge amount of electrical energy for electrolysis.
Heavy industry should be the goal when one has cheap and abundant electricity.

Lindsey Graham is gone, he won't bother mankind any longer, no need to kill him twice. Don't be small. Have some dignity and focus on the living ones.
Warren Buffett: “If you can detach yourself, temperamentally, from the crowd, you'll get very rich. You don't have to be very bright [either].”

Remarkable!
For the first time, China successfully recovers Long March 10B rocket at the sea, following maiden flight.
🇨🇳China becomes the world's second country, after the🇺🇸US, to own reliable rocket reusability technology.🚀
It also marked the world's first recovery of an orbital-class rocket using a wire arrestment recovery system.
