The outrage will always be wherever the western media is told to put it, and that will always be on topics that don’t invite too much embarrassment or criticism to the empire that owns them.

Macron is aware of who butters his bread right now. Donno if there’s anything long-term significant about it.

Something tells me that Iran et. al. aren’t sourcing their battle telemetry from American companies traded on the NYSE, but sure if it makes you feel better.

Most will not be aware the statement was made at all. There’s little profit in the media reporting it.

I appreciate the referenced WSJ article writing this below a string of several markets all listed in red. It adds a decorative flair.

They see their territory as their empire, and lashing out at their captives is a way to prove to themselves that they’re still in control. It’s a classic abuser habit.

If the empire doesn’t abandon you or try to assassinate you, are you really living the full puppet experience?

It is now clear that DOJ is in possession of evidence that President Trump has already endangered national security to further the interests of Trump family businesses

Boy nothing gets by you.

It’s not just the lies, of course, but the obvious timing for week-weekend cycle market manipulation that no one cares about. Be assured next Friday evening to Saturday morning NYSE time, there will be another dismal report or threat of escalation which will be “resolved” by Sunday night or Monday morning. It’s weird it if happens once, but it’s been happening nearly every week since his second term got started. It’s the most profitable point in history to be an insider grifter.

“Central America” is in North America. Racists just pretend it’s not so they don’t have to mentally grapple with brown people natively being on the same continent as themselves.

Not the route I was expecting for addressing the climate crisis and weening people off of oil, but as long as we get there I suppose.

Don’t threaten me with a good time Lindsey

It’s an interesting choice to posture that it’s a simple military maneuver to open the strait, but the supposedly strongest naval power is unable or unwilling to do so. If it were simple, they’d do it; if the strait wasn’t important at all, they wouldn’t talk about it.

Not sure about the rhetorical strategy with acknowledging that it’s important, but complaining it’s still closed. Better optics would be to just not say anything at all, but he can’t even manage that.

Heavens, the puppets are infighting.

Rising, but still regrettably equal to or lesser than the average from 2011-2014 for regular, despite the inflation that has occurred between then and now. It’s still a ways out before the price becomes a significant obstacle for the politically ambivalent populace. Between the inflation and ramped up fracking, the US is more insulated from fuel prices than their vassals.

The west be like “oh no, Cuba is spreading!”

Didn’t it just get back from retreating

It’s hard to imagine anyone in the US doing things or not doing things under fear of “political backlash”. How many dozens of red lines, like Roe v Wade, Doge layoffs, Beautiful Bill cuts, ICE rounding up citizens and examining their social media for thought crimes etc., have there been where people warned that there would be riots in the streets and a general strike that would halt the economy? When those lines were crossed, there were a couple half-hearted protest marches on the weekend that practically swept up the streets behind themselves so that if you were five minutes late, you wouldn’t even know they were there.

But now you’re telling me THIS is one? THIS being something every liberal has to preface their comments with “while Trump shouldn’t have gone to war, the Iranian regime needs to be put down – who kills fifty thousand of their own people??” THAT’S the one he’s supposedly worried about blowback over? The one where they’re agreed on the killing but a little more cost-effectively if you wouldn’t mind?

God bless Prime.

At least they got to meet their daily quota of the word ‘unprecedented’.
