World News@lemmy.world•White House: Reopening Strait of Hormuz Not Vital to Ending Iran WarEnglish
81·8 days agoThe other side also gets to vote for when the war is over.
As the wars in Ukraine and Iran have shown, its impossible to stop 100% of drone attacks and drone manufacturing.
Cargo ship insurance companies will have a vote too regarding when the Strait of Hormuz is “open”.

RFK’s idea about how to make America healthy seems to be to kill everyone who isn’t already immune to the viruses that vaccines protect against.
If the only people who survive & breed are the ones who don’t need expensive medical care, then over time the population’s profit margin increases.
Stop trying to make Republican-lite happen. Its appealing to exactly nobody.

Also, we’re kind of already there, the main difference seems to be that we’re not sacrificing nobles en-mass (yet).
The wiki article makes it sound like a custom born of perceived resource scarcity where they would send some people away so the rest could have more.

World News@lemmy.world•UAE to withdraw forces from Yemen after Saudi strikeEnglish
31·3 months agoKSA has given up on trying to defeat the Houthis, and now wants to buy them with a promise of revenue sharing from the oil fields that were recently captured by UAE-backed STC.
KSA hopes they can reduce the frequency of attacks against their oil infrastructure and economic diversification mega-projects. They’re betting that the cost of the Houthi attacks that will still be launched against them, plus the cost of the bribes aimed at reducing the frequency of those attacks, will still be less expensive than a full ground invasion of Yemen.
Furthermore, KSA is racing against the global trend away from burning oil for energy. They need to diversify their economy while oil is still valuable, and a ground war would halt that progress because investors won’t want to put their eggs into an exploding basket.
So KSA is willing to act against members of their own anti-Houthi alliance in order to prevent a UAE-sponsored break-away state from metastasizing on their border - a break-away state that would control the oil revenue that KSA hoped would buy them a temporary reprieve during this fragile economic moment.
Never. I won’t buy a game until I’ve tried it. If no demo is available, I’ll pirate it first, and then buy it later if its good.
