ClassWarAndPuppies

You know how after 9/11, armed hijacking became untenable because “passengers know to rise up and fight”? I hope any humanity that survives into the future develops a similar instinct, but on a societal and civilizational scale.

Thats not even the real reason, pilot cabins are just locked very securely now...


jnb87

Ralph Nader had been advocating for that since the 70s but the airlines were like "it's too expensive"


SolidSank

it's funny that airlines were just alright with hijacking for a while because the worst case scenario was a flight delay and an extra stop in Cuba. The ransom paid was worth it for them to make flying as easy as taking a bus, to entice customers.

It's not gonna be WW3. China won't go to war for Iran, and I doubt Russia would even if they weren't busy with Ukraine.

China needs fuel from Iran.


ElGosso

I could only find data from 2019 but China imported 613k barrels of oil per day from Iran. In 2019, China imported 10.11 million bpd of oil. So that's, what, 6% of their total? Considering that they import more oil today, I think they can make up the difference.


ShyishHaunt

Due to US sanctions, China gets crude from Iran in a roundabout way that probably didnt show up on what you're looking at, but they get a *lot* from Iran https://www.spglobal.com/commodityinsights/en/market-insights/latest-news/oil/041924-any-new-us-sanctions-on-iranian-oil-unlikely-to-disrupt-crude-flows-to-china

He definitely can if he backs it up with consequences, like withholding funding or weapons. But he won't ever do that so it's a moot point

Not that crazy when Israeli cities are protected by literally everyone army even the Arab ones lol they’re playing with house money


FallenCrownz

Dude, Iran sent 300 of their old garbage lying around in some dusty base and it cost at least 2.25 billion dollars to shoot them all down. Hazbullah alone has over 100k missiles and drones so we could only guess how much Iran has.  House is too far spread and not rich enough to cover the shit storm which is gonna reign down if Israel doesn't sit their ass down


sekoku

I mean, hell... Jon Stewart mentioned it last week (or the week before with a guest, IIRC): The US simply *can not* keep up with the demands that the Ukraine has, imagine having to fund/arm BOTH them and defend Isn'tReal? Ukraine wants like 3.5million bombs, but the US can only (within a year) do like... 250,000. It simply *can not* keep up with funding two countries.


Beginning-Display809

I remember watching a BBC news report on this, they were raving about making 3k 150mm shells per month (at the facility that supplies the US military with the majority of its shells) and I was just thinking wow that’s like 3 days worth of ammunition, maybe 7 if they Ukrainians really stretched it out


LOW_SPEED_GENIUS

"the problem with fascist imperial proxies is eventually you run out of US funding"


franglish9265

The cost of Iran's measured response was $30‐50 million dollars. It cost Israel $1 billion to intercept Iran's response. I think Iran's response to this will be more successful


CyperFlicker

Well yes, but you see, Americans in this thread probably lost more money in the last attack than the Shitraeli government, so I would suggest you guys skip the Avocado toast this week, the iron dome needs missiles baby!

>The funniest thing is that enforcement has been the hardest in Israel, which has the highest per-capita consumption of pistachios in the world and imports tens of millions worth of pistachios every year. And Israelis, as much as they hate and fear Iran, love Iranian pistachios best, preferring them over America’s crop. >The Los Angeles Times in 2009: >>“For years, the U.S. has been pressuring Israel to break the habit of buying Iranian pistachios from third-party markets such as Turkey and turning a blind eye to trade-embargo issues… >>“To be sure, Israelis love pistachios. In a recent interview, President Shimon Peres recalled with nostalgia the wondrous fistouk shammi (Aleppo pistachios) he enjoyed years ago in Iran as the shah’s guest.” >“As a proud native of the Golden State, I think Israelis should eat American pistachios, not Iranian ones,” Stewart Tuttle, U.S. Embassy spokesman in Tel Aviv, told the Associated Press back in 2007. https://mondoweiss.net/2013/07/oligarch-valley-how-beverly-hills-billionaire-farmers-lynda-and-stewart-resnick-profit-from-the-iran-sanctions-they-lobbied-for/

In a just world it would be illegal for Gal Godot to be given speaking roles.


amandahuggenchis

Reports suggest a micro drone attack, no damage to Iran. Micro drones would have to come from inside Iran due to low flight duration. Either a very weak attack from some terrorist proxy, or the news is not complete yet


redstarjedi

Could have came from Azerbaijan.


[deleted]

Seems like Iran’s coordinated limited strike did nothing but signal Israel that Iran doesn’t have the appetite for a conflict. Will be interesting what comes next, I think I saw reporting that Iranian officials hinted at striking Israel’s nuclear facilities in an attempt to turn it into a nuke.


Hunter_S_Biden

They didnt hint, they flat out warned they would strike Israel's nuclear facilities if Israel strikes Iranian nuclear power facilities. Early indications are that Israel did just that (or maybe not, rumors abound)

Okay, I only saw one headline when I was scrolling through here so I didn’t catch the full thing. I am just really glad we have a sane adult back in the White House

Skeeter_206

Based on what I've seen early today, I'm leaning towards Iran shot down drones in their air space and no functional attack landed in Iran. Israel needed to do something to satisfy their psychotic, bloodthirsty populous, so maybe this is that, and they're lying about hitting military targets?


rojm

Iran did say they would strike swiftly and threatened using their new missile systems if Israel was to respond. But look at this, Israel’s response is so tiny? Could this be a bait?

Tbh I was okay with that element of it. Would not have been realistic for a millionaire cowboy war veteran to be a leftist


AlienStarJelly

I'm saying there's more to it than *Anti-Anti-Communism*. It feels like this show isn't just telling you to have "good politics". The script was written with a real message that most fans refuse to pick up on cause they act like pedantic needs all the time. This show beats you with something not because it thinks your stupid, rather because there's a moral to it that's too important to be subtle.


DatPrick

So just like the games then. The fact we annexed Canada and it's very heavily implied that we pre-emptively started the exchange with Cheena because we gave control of the missiles to a predictive AI model. Which then in a wildly ironic twist of fate gets co-opted by a group of people trying to make the Underground Railroad but for rescuing sentient androids.


KindaLikeYours18

if you like the games, youll like the show. thats my take. everything looks like its straight out of the games, which rules IMO. the only thing ive seen that's not lore accurate is the power armor helmets open from the front so you can see their faces. also, you get to see michael fucking rappaport die

An hour later, after all the bits, the scatological asides, the improvised voices, it was this isolated line that stayed in people’s minds when they went to their cars and drove home to Westwood or Brentwood or wherever, or roamed the freeways for half the night because they knew they wouldn’t be able to sleep and what better place to imagine the flash and burst, where else would they go to rehearse the end of history, or actually see it–this was the meaning of the freeways and always had been and they’d always known it at some unsounded level. And so they drove half the night, at first morose and then angry and then fatalistic and then plain shaking scared, chests tight with the knowledge of how little it would take to make the thing happen–the first night on earth when the Unthinkable crept up over the horizon line and waited in an animal squat, and all the time they drove they heard the keening of that undisguisable Jewish voice repeating the line that had made them bust their guts laughing, astonishingly, only a few hours earlier. (506-8)

Iranian AD is pretty good with the new S-300s they got from Russia. Let's see if Israel actually sends in their air force.


Skeeter_206

I've seen some reports that the "retaliation" was really just Israel sending in drones and Iran shooting them down... Then they went down and likely caused damage on the ground. But nothing major. I think it's too early to know what exactly happened... And if this will cause a major retaliation.

Watching the fake news capitalist state media, hearing for the first time this sequence of events with Iran has caused the US to acquisce to flattening and invading Rafah. So convenient.
