The concept of a “woman chauvinist” is irrelevant. It literally does not matter. What’s going to happen, are women going to take over society and force men into servitude? Stop them from leaving the house without an escort? Make them give up their careers? 🙄

In a society that was built by men, for men, men’s chauvinism is a problem and an unconscious bias they all carry with them from a very young age. There’s a lifetime of unlearning that men need to do to not be chauvinists. Any man who has gone through this process to rid themselves of their chauvinism has no problem with statements like “men are chauvinists” because they know it’s true.

… can Israel afford their own weapons?

So you’re the reason they haven’t gone out of business.

Iran has played the US into becoming the sin-eater for the consequences of blocking the Strait.

Men are chauvinists. This is not somehow unique to Mexico.

It’s more profitable to not have a nuclear exchange.

They’re actually very similar weights.

How can the be “in breach” of a deal that Trump withdrew from? Why should they abide by a deal that is already defunct?

Their high level enrichment was insurance, in case the US and Israel proved that they could never be negotiated with and they needed to start pursuing a nuclear bomb. But, they hadn’t started yet and they had no plans to pursue nuclear weapons unless they were forced to; it sure looks like that’s what Trump has done. I won’t be surprised if Iran tests a nuclear bomb in the next few years, possibly much sooner.

Israel is the 51st state, of course it cares about the status of USD. It’s like Biden said; “Were there not an Israel, the United States of America would have to invent an Israel to protect her interests in the region.” Israel also cares that Iran is part of the Axis of Resistance, along with Hezbollah and Hamas and Ansar Allah, and it has been an important ally for them in their struggle. Iran is in the way of Greater Israel, not because it’s a nuclear threat, but because of drones and rockets and missiles.

Iran’s only nuclear ambitions are for electricity and for the ability to synthesize certain nuclear byproducts for medical and industrial purposes, they have never had an interest in nuclear weapons. Iran never pushed for nukes, it’s a lie made up to trick you.

The reason for the war is that the petrodollar is in decline, it’s the same reason they kidnapped Maduro. They can’t have so much oil being traded outside of dollars without the dollar, itself, losing value as a reserve currency.

Nukes were never on the table. WMDs are used as propaganda cooked up by people who want to trick you into supporting wars for oil.

As I mentioned elsewhere, the problem is that there’d be a civil war if you tried to stop people from burning shit. There’s a compromise being made between public safety and the public’s appetite for regulatory restrictions.

But also, like I said, fire is less of a problem with modern fire suppression and building materials. I wonder if those propane grills would actually be legal if our cities were still built like they were 158 years ago. I also wonder if they’ll remain legal forever, or if increasing droughts and infrastructure decay will force bans in some cities.

Kind of what I expected. Iran has all the cards here, and the US was already starting from a poor negotiating position due to Israel’s aggression against Lebanon. Iran agreeing to anything right now would have meant taking a loss for no reason.

Didn’t I already say it? The US doesn’t give a shit about public safety.

I’d be in favor of banning gas stoves and clothes dryers, but that would probably cause a civil war.

It could definitely cause a massive fire someday. Some home brewer blows up in California during a drought and suddenly you’ve got another wildfire in an urban area.

… but it probably was about taxes. The US doesn’t give a shit about public safety.

The problem wasn’t the individual blowing themselves up, it’s the individual starting a massive fire that spreads to surrounding structures. That’s less of a problem with modern fire suppression and building materials, though, so what made sense 158 years ago probably isn’t as big of a concern.

It’s great propaganda.

That’s about it.

Don’t get me wrong, propaganda isn’t inherently bad or anything, you just need to consider how the propaganda is being used.

Tie me to a missile and fire me at Tel Aviv.

The cost of living is inflated by retail speculation and landlords, not whatever you think is happening.

Reminder that “smarmy” necessarily implies insincerity, not just a funny way of talking.

No, the worst case is the boomers are replaced by young Republicans that are all Nick Fuentes Nazis.
