Yeah this whole thing looks like a 2-for-1 deal to topple both governments after starving their economies for a long time. Especially given the hard-on Rubio has for killing the Cuban Revolution. And then install resource-extractive governments in their place of course.
They are. Watched Krugman on Zeteo today saying there’s basically no competent economists left in the Republican gov’t. Not that Krugman is some amazing cadre but he’s point was it’s only sycophants left.
That’s Qatari propaganda.

Irony is dead.
Goddamn, Taiwan is the second last with 17% increase in the same 30-year period. 😵
Meanwhile GDP per capita PPP has gone up 370%.
Time for Takaichi to say something about war with China.
Or maybe she’s just incompetent. But maybe you’re right.
Interesting. Thanks!
Is there actual science to predict IQ based on genes?
Right, cause the US wants to grab it instead and then “invest it.” At this point either the EU takes or the US will.
Specifically US corporate interests.
WTF is this warn-might bullshit? This has been the material reality for a while now despite how lots of media has been representing it. We’re not about to betray Ukraine. We’ve done that for a long time by underfunding the effort on both the NA and EU sides. It looks like we are entering the stage where they’re trying to soft-land the public into reality. I hope people are paying attention.
Given my interactions with zionist friends and family, they’re completely out of touch. They’ve shoehorned themselves into a hasbara bubble and consider anything not pro-Israel to be “Qatari propaganda” one way or another. That closes any channel that could possibly inform them of the way they appear and lets them lean into their victimhood, raging against anyone and anything that isn’t aligned.
If the US takes control of Venezuela’s oil prod, the OPEC and therefore Saudi control over the oil price diminishes. Therefore Saudi revenues are likely to fall. While I don’t expect Saudi to do anything, there would be logic in them doing so. Perhaps MBS could use the backchannel to tell Trump not to invade.
Grant it. Make it bluntly obvious for anyone still believing “The only democrcy in the Middle East” slogan.
This won’t end well for the US long term but American capitalism can’t see that far.
They went straight to BEV.
In September, the United Nations Committee on the Rights of Persons with Disabilities reported that at least 21,000 Palestinian children had been disabled in Gaza since October 2023. Earlier this month, the Ministry of Health announced that over 6,000 amputation cases had been registered, with children comprising 25% of the total, making Gaza home to the highest number of child amputees per capita in the world.
Aren’t we subject to the embargo? If we are and we did this, I imagine we’re gonna get hit with a new round of sanctions. Perhaps we could next year when Trump’s sanctions popularity has tanked so hard he can’t use them as leverage anymore. Maybe it could be done as a matter of humanitarian relief. I don’t know. This shit is so fucking sad.
