Just pure speculation on my end. But probably Kuwait, they were the US springboard into Iraq in the previous campaigns and already have the infrastructures. Furthermore, they are also the closest to Kharg island and thus having the least risk of getting fired on in open water.

So you are saying that I gotta wait another week for the good time to start?

Having a toll booth at Hormuz in any capacity would be the goal for Iran that would made any other points kinda moot in the long term. Here is a short list of some of the impacts:

• Erode the power of the petrodollar collapsing the US empire economy
• Allow Iran to basically circumvent any sanctions place on them since they can just take that back as toll
• De-legitimized the gulf monarchies and allow Iran to build up friendly group inside those states
• Place other gulf nations economic control in the hand of Iran and thus boost their ability to build up friendly forces there
• Threaten the US and any hostile states intervention in the gulf states since those states will have tons of people depending on Iran

With that kinda power in hand even if the US and occupied Palestine want to keep their bases and vassals in the gulf, it would just be a losing battle since the population will be hostile and cost of maintenance will be lopsidedly expensive.

The UN and what army’s gonna remove that toll booth on Hormuz? the UN is just a negotiation platform for the great powers. If China and Russia decide to keep out of this or just backing Iran under the table, the only army left would be whatever the US and their coalitions can muster, and that one is failing miserably for now. As for why won’t the toll booth be gone ‘after’ the war, when will the war actually end? what if one side just go home and never announce the end of the conflict? what if a state no longer exist and a bunch of smaller states just continue fighting? what if both states cease fire indefinitely but never negotiate? Are we even at war yet when the USA haven’t officially announced that they are at war? The war only truly end only when the material difference in Iran or the West have been substantially difference and both side can negotiate some actual agreeable deals.

Probably the nukes the USA pretty much gave occupied Palestine for free. You can trigger doomsdays with any amount of nukes through MAD

China generates 40% more electricity than the United States and European Union combined

That’s a crazy amount of energy. And somehow the author left that specific word out of the title

Have a happy birthday!

Yeah, there’s a lot of niche software for specific needs that’s doesn’t have alternative or have subpar alternatives on Linux. Even as a full-time Linux users and supporter, I still have to acknowledge that the amount of investments gone into enterprise stuff over the year have basically made switching from Windows for a lot of professions almost impossible. Unless we start having more funding and development from state actors, the market share of OS won’t change significantly anytime soon.

I was in Sichuan just this Lunar New Year for a tour and the whole time I have to have my caffeine addiction fixed by either instant coffee I bagged myself or tea. Almost nobody drink coffee over there. There are some coffee shops here and there in tourist attractions but I wasn’t able to locate a place that can make a stiff cup of Joe, most are bland instant coffee like water with milk. Supposedly you would have more luck with that going somewhere more south east and closer to Vietnam

If they could they would 10x the amount of explosive in the version against China. Malware is just a start.

Can I have the sauce for your wallpaper please?!

Where can we check this out?

Very beautiful. Is this a real place?

What about Kislev, Araby and Bretonnian. Their mages are basically holy maiden priests or divine teachers?

The same military force that’s under your beg and call and supervised by your own military force that is funded by your trillion dollars debt? Somehow I don’t think you’re gonna have any problems with the bank at all my dude.

To add to this comment. You should look out for the ThinkPad T series (no p or s after the number) if you want ease of repairs and upgrade.

Probably will wait until a tear down video is available. Pebbles are nice devices but absolutely garbage at fixability.

Hit me right in the nostalgia with this one. Used to played the heck out of it on SEA and my local country server. The game is super grindy for my taste now but I still feel nostalgic about the community and people there.

Corrected, they should all be arrested and fired at.

As a Vietnamese I would go with Luna explain that the questions were most likely biased and the results were pulled out from the ass of a hardcore liberal.

However, the PRC wasn’t on friendly term with Vietnam after the Sino Soviet split. Alongside border skirmishes and proxy war with China in Cambodia, Vietnamese people felt pretty betrayed when China normalize relationship with the USA and developed so fast while we were still under sanctioned by the US and have no more helps when the ussr collapsed. Furthermore, the South China Sea dispute have certainly been an issue that keeps flashing up the resentments from before and made many Vietnam have a much lower opinion about China and Chinese people.

To modern Vietnamese, the USA is the far away enemy of our next door frienemy which makes them a good opportunistic Ally on paper. Furthermore, America’s propaganda is so much better than anyone else, which makes a lot of people even in Vietnam have some false images of the USA. At least they don’t have as much propaganda from China to improve their reputation, yet
