But after the sanctions, Venezuela’s oil industry began developing itself, these last few years their production gas been rising, and the refineries that were almost abandoned due to sanctions are working again. Perhaps not in full, but there has been indigenous development, and iran has helped with that, by sending engineers, swapping oil, equipment and chemicals. Brazil could have lent a hand, but as you said, they didn’t care.
Well, Brazil is right there next to Venezuela, and has a high tech oil industry. Yet it was in cooperation with iran that Venezuela began developing its own refining capacity.
Brazil has always been on the fence, very much like russia
No, they are using several kinds, one type is supposed to explode to hit the things with the blast. We are not sure if they hit anything. The entity has much les ammunition, and I see no reason to believe they have better aim. So even if nothing was intercepted the 2 or 3 confirmed hits may be all the entity managed.
The economy worked just fine 8 years ago with 22nm chips wich can be made elsewhere. On the other hand industrial civilization is built on cheap oil. If the oil rich nations of the middle east were to develop, the empires industry can’t sustain itself. The us can only support its own production for 15 years or so freaking and all.
If Israel loses the monarchies are next.
Yhea.they may just be saying that to de escalate.
The burger kings are Canadian tho, that would only cement the claims of British election interference.
It’s going to be about him saying McDonald’s is bullshit, and he prefers KFC, imagine the scandal.
KFC is objectively better of course.
This has been my take on israel for years, do it in Germany/ Poland.
The thing is that this has actually been disproven by Gregory clark, in his study of long trends in the english economy, were he shows macroeconomic indicators have no correlation to institutions. Or changes in institutions. The answer he comes up with is equally absurd, but that’s another topic.
And by Robert Allen, who showed in a recent paper that migration and wages were process that regulated each other in European colonies. The higher agricultural productivity the higher wages and the more migration, Mexico had lower agricultural productivity given early modern tech and so it was poorer, since it received less migration, Spain was also poorer. So essentially since the yanks exterminated the natives there was a lot more land for yeoman farmers in the us than in Mexico.
That being said the great M. M. Postan published a series of articles 70 years ago were he shows how these theories don’t fit the historical record. Institutions matter much less than changes in the technique of production, wich historically are driven by demographics.
No. Syria was a net importer of oil. The goal was to destroy Syria to affect the stability of the region, make it harder to arm Hezbollah, and maybe to create a power vacuum were turkey and Israel can move in. And to make an example of the enemies of the empire.
Those were apparently detachable boosters of the marv. The warheads are really cheap when compared to rocket fuel.
I think they are changing the old warheads with hypersonic ones on the old missiles.
They didn’t use kheybar shekan missiles, wich had been very successful in previous attack, and we saw that missiles in Yemen that looked like a kheybar shekan with a Fatah warhead, so I think they refitted those first, since they are the newer models.
If so this was a great success. Perhaps that’s why their incursion into Lebanon stoped? We will see if the air raid intensity diminishes. Just 1 f-35 can pay for 200+ of the new rockets, and these are mostly the outdated ones.
So they found out when they caught movement in their satellites?
If so that’s good news, because most of those were old, big, liquid fuel rockets that take a lot of time to move and launch. The new generation is solid fuel, and smaller so they can be stored and transported in commercial shipping containers and fired in about 4 min.
All mid range ballistic misiles are hypersonic before impact. What makes a hypersonic missile special is it’s ability to maneuver or to fly in more horizontal trajectories at those speeds. So you are right that this likely isn’t it, but it was a hypersonic impact.
They are one of the worst countries. They ethnically cleansed 200k Armenians. Persecute shia clergy and I assume lay practitioners, support Israel, are essentially a comprador regime that gives away oil propping industrial civilisation and gets to act as a pawn of empire in return. They need to go.
Also, it’s a Hong Kong situation, it should have been reverted to Iranian control but the Soviet union didn’t agree.
I wish they would retake Baku.
Too deep, any attack on those is gonna be small scale sabotage.
How are they gonna get the cum out without that module?
This is the countdown.
