US Politics Thread
Seems like the main politics thread is becoming a Yankee-Doodle Trump-fest, so maybe scope here to split them out.
Will see if this one gains any traction ..if it does will move over a few of the million posts from our two protagonists from the other thread.
Yee-haaa!

Re: US Politics Thread
Erdoğan gets on with Trump, like so many do in the middle east. Trump did a lot of groundwork in his first term and continued it back in power buttering up those connected to the middle east where some will turn a blind eye if it means the end of Iran's destructive nonsense to the entire region. They've all had enough just as much as we all have. Only Putin and the Iran Islamic Republic diehards wants it to carry on.

Re: US Politics Thread
If the Kurds are asked to be the boots on the ground in this war, they're gonna want a tad more than some shiny new buildings and infrastructure as thanks - they'll be looking for complete autonomy, and UN recognition, not only for Kurdish Iran, but Kurdish Iraq & Kurdish Turkey.
Erdoğan will never let that one fly.

Re: US Politics Thread
There won't be. Iran has managed to fuck off not just all their neighbours by lashing out at them but also their own people killing thousands. They are playing it just right so far. Crush their military and those in command before effectively handing it over to Pahlavi and his transition team in waiting.

Just wait until Squirrel Nutsin gets on WHO today when he's finished his paper round. I'm excited to hear his excuse for the appalling jobs figures.

Re: US Politics Thread
Then you get to the hospitals that have been hit.
The USA might not have targetted this but they are using AI to identify targets.
LLMs are not intelligent as they are still what is the next word machine with no understanding of context.
If the algorithm matches the target to the training data then BOOM.
Having said that hospitals and schools are right out of the IDF playbook.

Strange you don't condemn them or the peados of the Vatican but US clearly accidently bombs a school and you cant stop going on about it

School gets bombed and you’re desperate to make excuses and throw in some whataboutism.
When are you going to condemn the British empire? It’s about as relevant to this discussion you spastic.

which is a real contradiction given your track record with kids.

Re: US Politics Thread
it's costing him something like $1bn a day to continue this.
that's without factoring in the impact on energy prices and more importantly - borrowing costs.
10yr treasury has now gone north of 4.1%.
it also appears to have caused some serious fractions within his support.

Re: US Politics Thread
It is interesting to see Trump now firmly in the pocket of Bibi.
This venture into Iran is where Trump has jumped the shark and it’s good to see the rest of nato staying firm in readiness but not getting dragged into this illegal enterprise.

Which they are now trying to do.
Then there are other separatist minorities such as the Balochs and Turkmen in Iran.
Provoking civil war is not a wise move.
