There are some juicy targets for Iran. You can't blame Iran for potentially hitting these.

Really?

Palantir... Shmalantir... I guess who has better AI products working for them is the one not whining for the other side to surrender already.

Everytime someone has said, "Do nothing, win," for China, I have thought that we have never done nothing, but what we did was behind the scenes enhancement of our nation every day at a work-till-the-horse-collapses pace. But this... this title is truly, "Do nothing and win."

It's really hilarious when you lay it out like that.

Why in the worlds would President Xi want to meet up with a head of state who's obviously missing a few marbles? Man deserves a medal just to sit through a meeting ...

Ooops. Just realised it's better posting this in the Trump 2.0 thread.

Hungarian Prime Minister Viktor Orbán on Sunday alleged that explosives found near a pipeline in Serbia that carries Russian gas to Hungary was "an act of sabotage."

The government of Belgrade informed Budapest on Sunday that the Serbian authorities found what it called "explosives" near a gas pipeline connecting Hungary and Serbia.

The Balkan Stream is part of the Turkish Stream gas pipeline.

Orbán has repeatedly accused Ukraine of seeking to drive up energy prices in Hungary before a pivotal election set for April 12.
