Besides the $2M fee, this is a extremely reasonable deal. Get the fees down to like $100K and that's a deal to end all this.


Would be a slap in the face to the Americans that lost their lives in this war. You have to be trolling.

Iran's 10-point plan includes:

1. Guarantee that Iran will not be attacked again
2. Permanent end to the war, not just a ceasefire
3. End to Israeli strikes in Lebanon
4. Lifting of all US sanctions on Iran
5. End to all regional fighting against Iranian allies
6. In return, Iran would open the Strait of Hormuz
7. Iran would impose a Hormuz fee of $2 million per ship
8. Iran would split these fees with Oman
9. Iran to provide rules for safe passage through Hormuz
10. Iran to use Hormuz fees for reconstruction instead of reparations


Solid anchor strategy with time pressure added. Too bad they have no leverage and their walk away means they lose their ability to generate electricity.
The Asaluyeh petrochemical complex is home to many different units and is quite compact. Sounds like Israel took out the utilities infrastructure which would be a smart way to take Iran’s production offline without destroying those larger plants. I’m not sure how interconnected the utilities are in the region, but imagine Israel knows what they’re doing
At what point does Britain wake up to the state of their Navy?

Their navy lasted like what, 48 hours? It was a tactical threat that was obliterated immediately once the war started.

It’s not like they can lean on a fleet in being.


Their Navy deployed mines in the Strait of Hormuz which seems like a pretty strategic threat. The fact that we decimated their Navy doesn't change the fact that those vessel were a large part of Iran's strategy in the war.
Stopped reading when you said their Navy never posed a strategic threat. What a moronic take.

We need literacy tests, civics tests, and they must be contributing


Ehhh that's where it gets into a grey area. Focus should be on verification of citizenship to vote. I'd love to have a civics test for competence, but competency based voting is a different discussion.

Troops on the ground are not required for Venezuela.


Except we did have troops on the ground against Venezuela…

Good luck getting any parts into the country

We need to sign that stud up on our side
He’s the one guy who I can’t blame. Only if he stuck with legal age women though.
Who would voluntarily go to an event like this to listen that insanity? I’d expect someone to, at a minimum, leave the event once speakers start advocating for hurting children as a strategy. Really pushing the boundaries of free speech.
Ancient civilizations are a fun rabbit hole to go down. Seems we’re getting more and more evidence that human civilizations existed much earlier than our current estimates.
I bet they’re nervous to invest any money with Texas considering legalizing gambling.
The system wasted 4 years of his life. What a waste of time and resources for everyone involved.

Being able to delegate is an important skill though. I get it though.
Good news to see companies taking a view of AI being a tool to improve quality of work. Hopefully others come around to this as well.
