Current International Headlines: War on Iran

[Ladios]

Annoying Orange visits china, bringing 17 american ceos, to beg China to help out in Iran and maybe cut the US some slack in trade.

President Xi made a statement that he wants to avoid the usual war that occurs when a rising power overtakes a failing one.

To which Annoying Orange responded:


Or TLDR

Haha yeah Xi, you're right  we are failing haha, but like, it's Biden's fault right? Yeah, I've been doing great you know, things are great right now, right? Haha, yeah I totally agree with you Xi man it would sure be embarassing to be the reason we are failing hahaha

The war's back on, with the US preemptively bombing Iran in "self defense" during peace negotiations. Israel has also said that they will resume their attacks on Lebanon, which they never loving stopped doing even for a day since the "temporary ceasefire" had started.

Just a reminder we have to deal with the orange man another two years. Here's to hoping it doesn't actually last that long

I can drink to that. And what's perplexing to me is that some peeps think this is anti-republican rhetoric, but it's not. It's anti-Annoying Orange and anyone with a brain should be in the same boat. Even when we had Republicans like Bush in office they didn't have this rabid cabal of cultlike followers that Annoying Orange has. stuff is like Manson levels of delusion

A Russian military drone has struck an apartment building in Romania, starting a fire and injuring several civilians.

As Romania is Nato member, it is now within its rights to invoke Article 5, requiring all other Nato Members to come to its defense, including the United States, since Annoying Orange hasn't yet removed us from the treaty, and potentially require a counterstrike against Russia.

It is unlikely that this will happen at this point, but the escalation is troubling to say the least.


meanwhile

Israel's Security Minister, Itamar Ben-Gvir has made it clear that "Israel will not allow Annoying Orange to negotiate a ceasefire."

Well an update on this, despite the US and Iran coming to an agreement on a 60 day peace treaty extension we are still waiting for Annoying Orange to give the final approval. This doesn't seem likely because Israel is currently pressuring the US to assassinate Iran's ambassador in charge of the ongoing negotiations, and thereby throw the months-negotiated deal into the trash.

Imagine there was this much of a panicked rush to build something useful like a nationwide highspeed rail or alternative power sources.

Imagine there was this much of a panicked rush to build something useful like a nationwide highspeed rail or alternative power sources.

Instead it’s a rapid attempt to replace home computers with computers you have to rent through the Internet, as well as AI Garbage.

If only there were regulations that would have prevented this.

Netanyahu announces he will "expand Israel's grip on Lebanon" after months of continued bombardment of Lebanese civillians (despite a supposed ceasefire) in the name of "self defense" and denying accusations that Israel is just attempt to seize Lebanese territory.
