Do you think the real reason for the fluoride shortage is because china and others are using it to make gallium fluoride to manufacture microchips?

Stop posting your ChatGPT prompts in this thread.

I've talked to Stud a bit in gen chat and while he seems to take a profoundly contrary position on most things or gets stuck on certain details, I think he's doing it in good faith as an ark steadier and not as an anti-American brown propagandist like we tend to see in this thread.

He finds a lot of weird things to fixate on and he approaches reality fundamentally differently from most of us but I think some of the hate is friendly fire. He's a nice guy under all of this.

what do you know about helium my dood?



but yea Gallium Nitrate and Gallium Arsenide are big ones to keep an eye on, of course China mines and refines most of the worlds Arsenic to


shit also meant to include helium is VITAL for MRIS, its used to cool the big fuck off magnets inside and its the ONLY way we know how to do it at scale

 

[harmacist]

He also told a journo whining about the timeline to shut the fuck up and look at the length of past conflicts if he wants to rush shit so much.

i don't understand the logic of bitching out a journofag for bringing up the timeline that he himself said.

 

[Jean des Esseintes]

Gallium nigger, gallium.

Nah for real we live in a interconnected world wide economy for better or for worse, there is a little something called SUPPLY CHAIN ISSUES

also bucko, because we made the genius idea that chinks make shit cheaper than we do, 99% of our heavy industry is overseas, we make 3 ships A YEAR in the USA and have 1 single artillery foundry and a single tank plant and not a single single purpose drone factory

we can throw infinite money at the problem it wont make a skilled workforce or industrial base just appear, both things take YEARS

"Bucko" reddit tier ragebait, my god you are a faggot. You really believe the U.S. couldn't spin up gallium production? It's shockingly easy to extract and purify, it just doesn't make economic sense to do it at this point. I guarantee you that if the U.S. was totally cut off from gallium imports domestic production would fill the gap in less than a year, probably less than 6 months.

well reality would disagree

Trump said that since the ceasefire began at 5.5 weeks, he's actually still within the six-week timeline.

Also, Iran has lost anywhere between half to three-quarters of its GDP since the blockade began.

You do realize that the U.S. is the worlds largest producer of helium and a net exporter right? You seem to be very selectively prompting the AI to give you the answers you want.

TRUMP: The President of the United States, DONALD J. TRUMP, Vice President of the United States, JD Vance, Secretary of State, Marco Rubio, Ambassador to Israel, Mike Huckabee, and Ambassador to Lebanon, Michel Issa, met today with High Ranking Representatives of Israel and Lebanon in the Oval Office. The Meeting went very well! The United States is going to work with Lebanon in order to help it protect itself from Hezbollah. The Ceasefire between Israel and Lebanon will be extended by THREE WEEKS. I look forward in the near future to hosting the Prime Minister of Israel, Bibi Netanyahu, and the President of Lebanon, Joseph Aoun. It was a Great Honor to be a participant at this very Historic Meeting! President DONALD J. TRUMP

Sounds pretty pointless, considering Hezbollah and Israel are currently in the process of blowing each other up, but whatever. If even Huckabee agreed to it, then I suppose something of note came out of it.
That guy is an even bigger Zionist than Graham.

I take a short trip, and come back to find.... still no Bridge and Powerplant day, only a bunch of turd world seething I skipped over thanks to the highlight feature. Sadly a lot of BROOOCS getting dunked on also will go unread.

I know this comes up a lot, but I'm going to add my own spin to this:
I had better things to do than stay ontop of how utterly outclassed the Iranian military is. When you step away from the internet, The only "news" that seems to give a single solitary shit about Iran is the Daily Show, because the aging John Leibowitz they brought back after the nigger almost killed the program is seething 24/7 about trump.
It barely gets mentioned by anyone else and in the most high-level glossed over terms. The most that is mentioned is the rise in gas prices.

I know Euros are seething 24/7, but the states are virtually unaffected; except while gas is low diesel is starting to creep up.

He does it again, this time indefinitely

When I searched specifically for Iran updates while out and about, this was the only piece of news of note I saw.

OH WOW. YOU MEAN THE MUJEETS LIED TO US YET AGAIN ABOUT WHAT IRAN AGREED TO? SURELY NOT.

The Pakistani Izzat holocaust after this will be astounding.

Iran may deny Ghalibaf was forced out, but it's clear the IRGC has fully subsumed the civilian government regardless.

The revolution will continue until the last Iranian.

Quite honestly, I think it's a matter of pride and prestige versus strategy. Iran would see anything that downplays their standing and importance as insulting. "What, you think we are not worth time of sending your #2 leader?! We not send our top guys now!" They'd insist Trump come if it had any possibility of happening, but instead will settle for Vance. They especially can't let it not happen after they got him the first time, as it might be a signal they're now less important.

Iran's delusion, sheisty negotiating tactics, and obsession with pride and image over outcome while sitting in a burning building like nothing is happening is remarkable. It's a cultural marvel to behold as a Westerner, our values are completely alien to one another.

100% this. Its a Turd World small dick mindset. The same reason Iran sent minimally ranked ministers, like their Foreign Minister, because they are the only government heads left alive because they feel it gains them Izzat to have the Americucks negotiating with the secretary of education.
And as I pointed out before, it lets Iran have a low-level functionary make an agreement then have the next party come in and restart negotiations from their starting position and the otherside's final position.

The number of posters eagerly cheering for and salivating at the commencement of what will probably be the largest humanitarian crisis on the planet in the last 75 years or so laid squarely at the feet of the US Government on the world stage is a little unsettling.

Any humanitarian crisis is on the hands of the retarded Iranian governent and their child-fucking religion.
We are looking forward to Total Arab Death because it will hopefully result in people not being oppressed or forced into a lifetime of backwards cousin-fucking sand niggerdom.

Add into all that other thing you got dunked on for the fact that shutting the straight will just make food prices rise, it won't result in Great Leap Forward style starvation. Sadly.

Israel gave Lebanon a shiny new crucifix to replace the one that kike soldier ruined.

Where did they steal it from?

 

[draggs]

re read my post, the source itself outlines that it was specifying a 1 year period

Reading various analyses published by the US Naval Academy and the Naval War College, official histories on the US Navy website, etc., the US used seven aircraft carriers total during Operation Earnest Will, but not seven simultaneously. The largest number of US ships taking part simultaneously was thirty. Seven aircraft carriers and twenty-three non-carriers would be a very strange proportion. US carriers never escorted civilian shipping. That was left up to frigates, destroyers, and guided missile destroyers. I found no evidence that US carriers transited the Strait and went into the Persian Gulf until after Operation Praying Mantis

 

[ThisIsGonnaBeGood]

Trump seems adamant about Iran abandoning their proxies. Not sure how successful this will be so long as the current retards are in power, but it's a nice sentiment.

Elite IRGC Thot Brigades have been activated. Their e-whore posting on social media sites will make the soldiers of the Great Satan and Zionist Entity quivering simps!

They got their shit pushed in from the air and sea... what good is a bunch of crusty bitches in garbage bags running around with ak47s to intimidate? Its like those island primitives brandishing bows and arrows to scare off helicopters... kinda sad.

 

[ThisIsGonnaBeGood]

Israel's ambassador actually sounds fairly optimistic about being able to work with Lebanon to expunge Hezbollah now that Iran has been so degraded.
Still early, but maybe this will actually get somewhere now than Hezbollah isn't getting a constant supply of blood money.

Stud has shit for brains and anybody replying to him at this point is retarded.

 

[aphaln]

The IDF destroyed a missile launcher which fired towards Shtula in northern Israel minutes ago, an additional strike destroyed another ready-to-launch launcher in southern Lebanon.

Spoiler: IDF Statement

A short while ago, the IDF struck the launcher that launched several rockets toward the area of Shtula.

Likewise, an additional loaded and ready-to-launch launcher was struck. The launcher posed a threat to IDF soldiers and the State of Israel.

The only deal there is to make is the Lebanese government continues to stand on the sidelines while the IDF demolishes Hezbollah, but stops bitching about it. Hezbollah is not going to voluntarily disband. Hezbollah would win a war against the Lebanese Army. Lebanon has nothing material to offer Israel regarding ending Hezbollah except very quietly shared intelligence

Want to believe this is true, but it's CNN.

WE ARE HOSTING PEACE TALKS TODAY

lmao

guess the talks did not go well

Lebanon ≠ Hezbollah. Hezbollah was never included in the ceasefire and per their word the Lebanese government has been working to get rid of Hezbollah's military for years.
