New News: the early-warning aircraft have arrived in the region, and, more importantly, the combat search-and-rescue squads have. Seems like it's show time.

This week would be a good time optics wise though perhaps not logistics wise if they actually wanted the second carrier group in the region.

The recent large demonstrations not only showed a large visible public support for action, but also place pressure on world leaders to support as well.

Mexico should've been part of America a long time ago but unfortunately we are in the everything is gay and retarded timeline. Cuba as everyone has mentioned is falling apart. As for Canada. honestly, i wouldn't be surprised if most canaoids just accept American rule without question.

Outside of a handful of tourist areas, like Acapulco and Cabo San Lucas, the rest of Mexico is a shithole. I don't want it as part of the US, and I certainly don't want Mexicans as US citizens. Even without all the beaners occupying it, it wouldn't be worth it to have as part of the US.

I used to think we should've at least taken Baja California but now thinking about it all that extra coastline in the Gulf of California would make border security an even bigger pain in the ass.

1/3 of the deployed US Navy (not counting the submarine fleet) will be in theater when the Churro Flotillo arrives in a week. That will more than double the amount of ships there. They will wait for the Flotillo to arrive before doing anything

Subs are the ones that tend to have shorter refuelling schedules, because they operate under much more extreme conditions. The reactor is refuelled and refurbished as part of a general maintenance overhaul.

Subs tend to have smaller reactors with less 'slack' fuel because you want the smallest ammount of radioactive mass you can manage in the small tin can you have sealed your sailors inside of, so if anything goes wrong they can hopefully fix it before they all die of radiation poisoning. Outside of refueling, subs need to hit the dry dock more regularly so its not a huge burdeb.

So much this.

Also its so much fun to see the spics and karens waving their mexican flags having never experienced Mexico's draconian immigration enforcement. IF they only fucking knew.
Forget being prevented from renting an apartment without a proper visa, you aren't allowed to own property as a non-citizen.

Friday. Trump isn't going to upset the market mid-week.
 
Tehran have decided to go full big brother.

Iran’s digital surveillance machine is close to completion, as reported by Wired. Governments don’t build surveillance systems because there is an actual need to watch 75 million citizens. They build them because power always seeks leverage over society. It is not unique to Iran. This is the inevitable endpoint of every state that believes it can manage dissent, control information, and pre-empt opposition with technology rather than address the real causes of social unrest.

The regime has massacred over 40,000 civilians over the past several weeks. That is a staggering number of deaths—more than all casualties in the Russia-Ukraine war or Palestine-Israel conflict—but we are talking about a government slaughtering civilians here. The regime plans spy on all citizens in real-time to prevent another uprising.

The Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps owns or is a partial owner of all telecom systems in the country. Removing internet access was one of the first measures the regime took when protests emerged. Wired describes an integrated, constantly expanding digital control grid. That is the same model now being tried in Beijing, discussed in Brussels, and quietly adopted everywhere that elites feel threatened by inconvenient political movements or crisis-driven instability. In Iran’s case, the “Digital Nation Plan” consolidates messaging, biometric tracking, traffic monitoring, and app control into a unified architecture that can identify, categorize, and punish behavior.

Does their digital surveillance machine have an Achilles Heel's?

I don't know if you should put much trust in a supposed economics publication that can't math. If the 40,000 number is the correct number of Iranians killed by the government that's about half the official Israeli count from Gaza, and I haven't kept up with Ukraine in a while but I know that's less than a quarter of official numbers when I last checked, and a smaller percentage of various estimates. The only way that statement is accurate is if they are talking about civilians in Ukraine, or the total number of casualties from Oct 7.

40000 is an estimation, but it doesn't seem impossible. We know the IRGC is shooting civilians in mass, they executes the survivors in the hospitals, and they called Islamic terrorist groups to help them massacre the protestors. They could have killed 40000 persons in a 100 millions people country without it being absurd.

Is this supposed to be in just the last couple months? I'm under no illusion that the IRGC are good guys, but I thought the recent protests weren't cracked down on as hard as the ones a couple years ago. They also were facing water shortages in Tehran, and the recent fight with Israel. I could believe it cumulatively, but 40,000 is a lot in such a short period of time without some major action.

Yes, in only 2 months. The protests are now millions of people in the street and the regime is using everything it has in order to survive. Before they blocked Internet, the estimation was already at 10000 dead, and every news we have shows it's a humanitarian disaster. I can't affirm 40000 is the real number, maybe it's lower, but it's not impossible.
 
The regime is no stranger to mass killings. Khomeini began his government like this and he will end it in kind.

If you run a country the way they do, you know an uprising is inevitable and plan for it. Protests always start in the same places and walk the same route - and he has done it before - think about your own city, and what damage a few people with a good vantage point and an automatic weapon could do. Then know its happening in the other cities around you at the same time. 40k is likely, its so indiscriminate it makes ballistic missiles look like diplomacy.

If it isn't true, there is a very organised campaign going on to transmit such a consistent ruse in a country with no internet access and where most of the potential leaders are locked up and frankly unlikely to survive.
