Ugh I predict another wave of idiots yelling "Freedom Fries"
but then again, it was fun back then triggering the conservatives by merely calling them french fries. lol
sometimes you got to look at life's silver linings to keep your sanity going. lol
First off, that would be awesome. I stupidly never saved any of my old freedom fries receipts, and I've always regretted that.
Unfortunately for me, our societies relationship with our political system is so radically different from the early 2000s, that I don't think that specific type of cultural short circuit is possible.
Trump: "Open the Strait yourselves!"
Europe: "k"
Trump: "No, not like that"
Exactly, the Hormuz Strait is already open... to people who aren't beligerants like the US.
🤣
"You have to be serious. When you want to be serious, you don't say the opposite every day of what you said the day before. And perhaps you shouldn't talk every day," Macron said.
I even called this one "OneLastHeist.png". This is our modern equivalent of FDR's Fireside Chats to guide us through the horror.
Is that real?
Yep. His latest post.

Watching the empire let a barely sentient monster walk us all into yet another bloodbath certainly is amusing in the worst way possible
imagine telling the 2000s version of yourself that bush would be the smartest republican president in your lifetime.
"GUSHER" refers to something besides oil flowing profusely Mr. Trump.
Good, all of Europe needs to tell Trump and the US to fuck off.
No one can wrap (late but somehow still early) opportunism in a rousing speech like macron
See how easy it is?
Does this mean that Iran haven't mined the straight? Or did the ship just get lucky?
I don't think it's ever been confirmed the strait was mined by Iran. We know China is allowed to pass through without a problem.
Why would Iran mine the strait?
Mines don't need to be maintained actively, so it would make sense if Iran were about to lose its capacity to sink ships in the strait by other means. As the US said would happen a few weeks ago.
So US media said Iran would or did mine the strait. And sometimes people believe propaganda even if they know better than to trust it.
Right, that was the point I was making there. The only scenario where it would make sense for Iran to mine the strait would be if they couldn't control it otherwise, and it's pretty clear they're in firm control right now.
