They simply just voted him out, democracy doing its thing. The US on the other hand, voted him in, also democracy doing its thing, I would love to see him gone to, but what is your comparison supposed to imply?

Democracy could maybe do its thing when people exercised their right to vote. Hungary had historic voter turnout yesterday at over 77%. Maybe start there.

When the gas chamber and electric chair for the death penalty method is up for a vote you have the right to not vote for either

Yourself013 5 hr ago +18

First off, if you are implying that Trump vs Harris is "gas chamber vs electric chair" then you are out of your mind. And second, if the outcome is going to be one or the other regardless of whether you vote or not, you stand the f*** up and go vote for one you consider "the lesser evil", because you sitting at home and not giving your support means absolutely jackshit. One of those two is going to be president. You don't get a third choice or a rejection. Your choice of staying at home and not voting doesn't magically stop them from getting the office. It just shows that you don't understand the system, and you're completely fine with either "gas chamber or electric chair'.

ContentsMayVary 4 hr ago +1

Classic strawman argument. The choice is not and will not be between the gas chamber and the electric chair, so your comment is completely specious. You are clearly one of the Americans responsible for the USA having an insane paedophile rapist president, and as a result we are perfectly within our rights to despise you.

Simply that people need to take ownership of their country. Use the power of the people to hold him accountable. Demand change and vote out the corrupt politicians that put him in power.

dafunkmunk 4 hr ago +1

If the US had 16 years of trump/maga policies destroying the country, yeah he would get voted out too. trump got voted out after only f****** up the country for 4 years and is on track for completely destroying congressional republicans in the midterms after only little more than a year so far with things rapidly getting worse for the gop by the day now. If republicans dont turn on trump after midterms and impeach him, they will get obliterated in the next presidential election after another 2 years of completely f****** everything up likely leading to a similar majority sweep seen in Hungary. trump isn't even capable of pretending to be a decent president to be in a position to dismantle democracy and trap the country with him for 16 years like Orban did

it changes a lot, actually. China and India are huge buyers, currently nations ate in a bidding war for available oil, if China and India suddenly dramatically increase their demand in these markets it will have a huge price impact.

China will be forced to pressure iran to open up the strait, since they currently support the strait closure

Dauntless_Idiot 6 hr ago +1

Only 0-5% of regular daily through the Strait were getting through (all ships, not just oil tankers). It depends on whose numbers you use. One for April said 2 of 30 regular oil tankers were transiting so that's \~8% of regular oil being blocked vs 92% in the original blockade. It was lower than 8% before that.

This is exactly what the Saudis want outta Jared kushner. Capture the market share but keep the same volume steady. Low output Of the oil is an issue but they can relocate barrels to the other hubs not in Hormuz. Sprinkle in a little market manipulation so the Dirty Don gets his cut. Look up who benefits when an opec member can’t sell their oil. This almost feels like a conspiracy if the ones in charge weren’t blatant.

So we've gone from 2-3 day decapitation strike with automagically civil uprising and overthrow of regime to 6 weeks of strike and counterstrike with threats then to a non existent ceasefire and negotiations to now a war of financial attrition of who will bleed out first - The Iranians and their supporters or the US / Gulf States and the rest of the global economy. Meanwhile Israel has been doing whatever the f*** it wants with impunity (so far). What a strategic masterstroke.

ButterscotchFar1629 6 hr ago +3

They do have two Carrier battle group and two Amphibious ready groups in the area. The CBG’s have Arleigh Burke class destroyers and Ticonderoga Class cruisers escorting them. The ARG’s have a couple of Burkes attached to them each as well. On top of that the threat of US subs as well. It’s all a smoke show, but those are the assets they have available.

KiwiTheFlightless 5 hr ago +3

Ahhh I see... I remember USS Gerald R. Ford is somewhere in the Mediterranean Sea or Red Sea and USS Abraham Lincoln is a distance away in the Arabian sea. So I reckon they are rushing their way to Hormuz to meet the 10pm deadline.

3

Md__86 5 hr ago +2

The Gerald Ford has been in Crete and Croatia recently (after the laundry fire) which is ironic because the USA doesn't need anything from Europe. It's almost as if the strategic and geographic relationship benefits both parties.

2

nofxet 5 hr ago +2

Plenty for an area so small. You really just need enough to make the threat credible which having two carrier strike groups in the area provides. What ship captain is going to risk his life and his crews to try to run that blockade so that some Indian or Chinese client can get their oil shipment?

2

KiwiTheFlightless 5 hr ago +2

Another curious question, for Iran who is pretty much backed into a corner, what is stopping them from swarming US Navy with drones and short range missiles? Conventionally, Iran is quite defeated. But unconventionally, they seem to be still going at it. I don't quite see an out for this escalation...

So Iran got it's temporary war goal of blocking the strait completed and they can even be happy that the world is going to blame the US for that now, how block a strait that they wanted to open like it was before the war they started and...? Sorry, I am lost, what exactly was the US' goals in this war again? Ah, no, sorry, I forgot, there were none. It was just Bibi asking for some support. Just get outa there and leave them alone!!

Iran-linked vessels won't be able to export oil, Iran's most important income. That means that US forces will enter and seize these vessels if they try to break through. Other vessels are already blocked by Iran since weeks. The war will resume within hours or days. US and Israel are preparing for new airstrikes.
