This is bad, awful, terrible “writing”.
White House officials are still working to court Iranian leaders who might be willing to negotiate, even though the last rounds of talks happened while U.S. and Israel were finalizing a plan to assassinate Supreme Leader Ayatollah Ali Khamenei. It’s not clear that the regime is ready to make deals. (Emphasis mine)
What kind of sick twisted fuckwit would write this?
Shit in the public fountain.
If I were an American, I’d try to leave the planet ASAP too.
And if we don’t have ammo, maybe we shouldn’t be starting wars with nations that have a military.
FTFY.
“Destroyed” = used.
If you have a pension worth $1 mil, that trickles in over time, you sell it for $600,000 lump sum and just get pension payments deposited into an account of their choosing. You got some immediate cash. They get more money over time.
I hope Israel is a worth it.
It isn’t. Genocide killed any chances there. They became what they feared most.
Can you sell your pension to JG Wentworth types?
“Weighs”. A curious term.
The WSJ sanewashing this administration because the Pentagon follows the commander in chief and we know Trump neither weighs, ponders or considers shit.
He makes up random bullshit on the fly and the Pentagon blindly obeys. If they are lucky, they get to react as to how to minimize the inevitable fallout of supremely stupid decisions in the hopes they can survive long enough to make it to to retirement.
The smarter Pentagon officials are probably googling “US military pension lump sum payouts” along with “Renouncing US citizenship” and “Warm, cheap places to retire to.”
It happened on earth?
I still do. But I used to too.
The danger in linking climate risks to dollars is making misleading math. The actual opportunity cost of climate disasters is incalculable/infinite.
Add up all the potential economic activity for tens of thousands of years of a flourishing sustainable human civilization, and subtract it because we are risking ecological collapse and even possible near term human extinction. The numbers to measure the damage done in dollars suddenly require scientific notation and approaches infinity.
In this article, they tried to measure only the past opportunity cost. Now multiply it by our future costs and you’ll get a sense of how badly we fucked ourselves and everything else.
Trump, doing more to fight climate change than anyone ever thought possible.
Regrets there is blowback. When you are constantly on the wrong side of history, maybe the hollow apologies aren’t enough and institutional change is required.
Few are pleased with the state of policing. Corruption, egregious breeches of ostensible policing standards leave few “proud” of our police. This is what they will admit., but consider the source, and trustworthiness.
It’s not like the cops had a good reputation.
ACAB. My ability to actually list the long line of egregious abuses pales compared to the monumentality of the task. It doesn’t have to be this way.
Struggling recruitment?
What unpatriotic fool doesn’t want to die in a pointless war on behalf of the pedo-in-chief who calls those who do “suckers and losers”?
Friends don’t let friends share the NYPost.
can give purpose and direction in lives that otherwise have neither.
Yeah. Like meth and opioids.
Why would the Iranians attempt any negotiation? They never honoured any of the previous deals. The Americans have zero credibility and have shown themselves to always negotiate in bad faith. It’s pointless to even bother.
