All of Ukraine and the rest of eurofash are in reach of Iranian ballistic missiles, including super-heavy Khorramshahr-4

It’s also worth keeping in mind that the reason for the proxy war in Ukraine is because the US ultimately wanted to take on China and saw Russia as the weaker target to take out first. The goal was to break up Russia and surround China with proxy states on its western border while cutting it off from food, energy, and resources it was getting from Russia. This was all openly discussed in the US media I might add. https://nationalinterest.org/feature/strategy-avoiding-two-front-war-192137

The obvious question here is how Ukrainians were able to hit an Iranian ship in the Caspian Sea in the first place. It is no simple thing for Ukraine to track down a specific ship far away from its borders, and would require intelligence and satellite data which the US would be in a position to provide. Seems that it’s pretty clear that the US put Ukraine up to this.

It’s a Js runtime that’s a popular alternative to node.js

Basically, after Yemen put a blockade on Bab al-Mandeb, and hit a few Saudi ships, the insurers realized that it’s not safe.

who knew

It’s more that insurance carriers do not feel comfortable giving out insurance for Saudi ships now.

I’m sure Russia in particular would have absolutely no reason to retaliate asymmetrically against the west doing deep strikes against Russian civilian infrastructure right now.

It would be nuts for Iran to not keep up the pressure at this point. The US is used to being able to turn up and down the pressure as is convenient for them. Now they no longer control escalation, and Iran can’t allow the Americans to regroup. They have to pursue their advantage and drive the occupiers out of the region entirely now.

lmao I love how it went from 84 to 3 stars now, I guess stars must reset when repo is undeleted?

I grew up in USSR dronie.

Right, the whole advantage is that you amortize the work across a huge community which no single company has the resources to compete with.

looks like they might be running out of missiles to send https://www.nytimes.com/2026/07/25/us/politics/trump-iran-military.html

watching people lose their shit over LLM generated stuff will never stop being hilarious

shocking right

That’s absolutely why they are there. The US grid has very limited capacity, and expanding it will be a decades long project. It simply cannot support a significant data center build out in its current state. Yes, they do build data centers in the US, but there is a hard limit on the available energy production.

Putting data centers in these vassals states basically ties them deeper into US economy, and ensures their oil goes towards powering American data processing infrastructure. There’s a great discussion with Michael Hudson on the subject incidentally. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=xHvpgCaCkSs

That’s my impression as well, they started getting high on their own supply.

It’s kind of funny, the US grid basically lacks capacity to do a large data center expansion. So, Americans figured what if we put them in the Gulf and then you don’t even need to ship oil out of the Gulf, just burn it there to power them. They invest all this money into them, and then go and attack Iran who are now bombing the shit out of these things.

If by wrong way around you mean Stalin shouldn’t have stopped at Berlin then I agree.

You know its bad when NYT starts publishing these kinds of articles, I guess it’s time for libs to start calling it New Orc times again.
