He definitely cares about what the Saudis want, it’s a big part of why he’s in this mess. He’s taken billions in bribes from dangerous people.
He doesn’t care about the people for sure, but the people who pull his chain need that water.
I imagine the people who chop up reporters and put them in suitcases have reminded him.
Sounds like someone sat him down and explained what those desalination plants do.
Iran had a fatwa against nuclear arms put in place by the leader the US had killed. Who’s to know what succession feels about that now.
Be hard to do before rigor sets in.
When did you last disinfect your phone?
They should really piss off Trump and say that they have talked with Obama recently.
No military and yet they just hit the US Embassy in Baghdad.
Iran can poke and probe US defenses, time’s on their side. Look at Ukraine and Russia. Despite five years of attrition, both have greatly expanded their strike capabilities in the midst of a war. You can decentralize drone production and hide it underground very easily.
No one involved in this wants those refineries to be damaged. Damaging them would be a sure fire way to make sure oil prices don’t drop once this is over. Iran will call this bluff.
You should say that louder for the people in Moscow without internet.
That, and Iran has supposedly allowed Chinese vessels through the strait.
Kushner took a 2 billion dollar bribe from the Saudis and Trump said it was fine since he wouldn’t be in his admin in his second term.
Kushner was one of the people Trump had negotiating with Iran right up to the breakout of the war.
UAE also forked over another 2 billi in crypto to WLF, which the Trump family hold major stakes in. And that’s on top of the 180 million they put into WLF around the 2nd inauguration.
He wants you to chase him
the fuck did you just call me?
Not only that, but it sure looked like they waited for them to muster at a known time and then hit that section of the ship.
And too frequently the person not getting it is the person who thinks they’re great at dark humor.
I think this is less about the humor, and more about the superstition about speaking something into reality.
Here’s a story for you. My grandmother never struck me as on overly superstitious person. But she was very serious when she told me that one day she had a friend over eating in her kitchen when a blackbird flew in through the window. Her friend told her that it was a really bad omen, specifically that it was a harbinger of death. The next day my grandmother’s first born was killed in a hit and run.
She couldn’t get over why her friend would even say that out loud. Not really because she thought her friend was clairvoyant but because it poisoned their relationship. She’s got one of the most negative moments in her life made even worse because of a callous prediction a friend made that now tolls like a bell any time her son comes to mind.
There are some forms of negativity that are better off left unsaid. You saying it isn’t going to burn down the house. But one day you might wish you hadn’t said it.
In the end, are you any less frugal than your parents? When confronted with an issue, all you could afford was a mean spirited “joke” that isn’t funny. People are accepting of dark humor if it actually is humorous.
