Yes they do, Iran embargo was way before Trump. But as I understand, Trump was sort of reluctant to attack Iran, and even kidnapped Maduro for distraction.

trump kidnapped maduro for intimidation, and was just as immune from the epstein stuff then.

i think you guys will have to depose him if you want him to see consequences.

too many americans are either too comfortable or too desperate to do this; only a systems collapse caused by either climate change or economic crisis will accomplish this.

then we better hope the oil stuff crashes their economy asap, i really don't want to see what an empire-ending climate change crisis would look like.

i suspect that they're going to use nukes once their oil stuff is truly threatened

then they better come up with a new way to keep rule of the world like they are rn, because they will be throwing their hegemony in the trash and they are not the only ones with nukes.

though to be fair detonating the planet and ending life on earth as we know it because they can't have it all to themselves anymore is something i can totally see them do 🥲

the plan is to go hide in their bunkers & safe spotss while civilization collapses from climate change and then come out of their bunkers later to then continue dominating the remaining 2% of humanity that survived the fallout on the surface.

writing this out makes me wish that i was making this up rn.

I hope whatever happens, there are enough of us left to fill their damn air vents with cement before we succumb to whatever world-ending catastrophe finally pushes them into the bunkers in the first place.

new zealand missing from a lot of maps is bourgeois conspiracy to erase it because they will use it as a bunker.

how could we reach new zealand without reliable access to oil or electricity? are wind sails viable for such a trip? asking for a friend.

The Maori got there by sea in the first place. Time to start practicing with a sextant and charts.

[–] eldavi@lemmy.ml 2 points 1 week ago

the maori did it by building upon thousands of years of experience and technology, while we'll be starting all over from zero with a whole new global dark age; only the people in the bunkers will know how to do it and where the bunkers are.

[–] eldavi@lemmy.ml 1 points 1 week ago* (last edited 1 week ago)

we would have to re-learn how to make planes; relearn how to pump oil to fuel them; and relearn how to make powerful enough weapons again after the apocalypse so we can fly to their island bunker fortresses and fight off their private armies to do that.

and that's assuming that we can collectively remember where the bunkers are located; we don't even know where most of them are right now.

funny you mention it because i've been thinking about preppers. maybe we should be building ours just in case this whole behead them and scramble to fix it thing turns out to not go as well as we would all want.

i feel not even they are having fun in this miserable bullshit they created. how deranged can you be until you can't be satisfied anymore.

i imagine that would be the dr evil guy in the epstein files. lol

You guys

Don't look at me, I don't even live in the American continents.

even if you did, i don't think usians in general are ready for action at all.

I live here and we are not hungry enough yet.

Maybe ozempic will be put in the tap water when food becomes scarce.

I live in a comprador state, and we are hungry enough. But centuries of oppressions and brainwashing made our people follow the ruler cults of their political views.

And the worst part is they are snitching any leftist movements for rewards from the rulers—a mid-tier position on government institutions or govt adjacent corporations and crime organizations. It will sound racist towards my people, but I believe no foreseeable future make them seeking only the short term gains.
