I'm waiting for the Economic and political situation in Egypt to become unstable enough that Egypt either revolts to Muslim brotherhood rule, and launches out on Jihad supporting Hamas to the North, the RSF to the south, the GNA in Lybia to the West and the many islamic groups in the Sahel or the Muslim brotherhood related pressure causes the military to support secular military dictatorships across the same countries and weaken Islamic influence while using the conflict to relave national tensions. In either case if egypt enters Sudan, I wouldn't be suprised to see it backing rebel groups in Ethiopia to ensure control over the length of the Nile. I look forward to the Greater Egyptian Military Imperium and seeing the majority of the Sahara and Sahel under a single entity.

@everwinter0 the defects associated with an aircraft carrier are a lot more complex than an oil tanker; one has to float, the other has to float while being bombarded with anti ship missiles and launching aircraft. Again I'm not glorifying the US ship industry. I'm just saying that if it was desired, the US isn't building an industry from scratch, there are supply lines and dock yards and skilled labor to build off.

@oakhauser Noah was kinda like "what de fuk". He just got to live.

If an Arab Nationalist group like Muslim Brotherhood takes control, I'm calling an alignment with the Rapid Reaction force in Sudan and the Arab governments across the Sahel for the creation of The Greater Egyptian Military Imperium.

Speaking of Ammonia, there is a Danish company which has produced an electrolysis cell which uses less energy in KW than a state of the art NG to ammonia plant uses in KW (electrical amd thermal) to produce ammonia while producing oxygen. Very interesting

Egypt needs to sign a deal with China (I only say because they currently have the largest manufacturering base actively look to export in infrastructure programs) to aggressively build out Solar. In recent years they have completely stopped LNG exports, and they struggle with NG supply causing power outages. Large scale solar build out would not only provide power, but in Egypt it would provide reliable daily output given the near equatorial position and limited cloud cover. It provides that power for 12 hours a day, and during the hottest part of the day when Air Conditioning is driving the highest demand. And at night, the NG infrastructure already exists. The solar would provide low and long term fixed cost power, and stretch the NG supply to allow exports of LNG to return and stable overnight output. Solar could also be placed in the Red Sea foot hills to Agrovolactics, and over canals or floating on Lake Nasser (which China in particular has experience with) to reduce water loss.

@seventyfive7597 Egypt and Israel had just joined an agreement to develop the Gaza Marine feild, that is what I'm referencing. I'm not referring to safety concerns in Egypt as new, the tourism comment was Covid related. I am referring to the surrounding conflicts as hurting trade and foreign investment, as well as creating refugee issues.

@Mark-uh3un ya ya, what we learned from China is that good happy peaceful democracies decided how many children you have and those policies never destroy your economy in a few decades.

@seventyfive7597 again, in referencing the Gaza Marine fields Egypt was expecting to begin development on.

@m.streicher8286 well, it is when the flooding that makes it productive is at risk because Ethiopia built a dam.

 @aamiradam5879 This is correct, the issue in North Africa is Arab nationalism under the guise of islam

@nisrmasry2134 unlike you and your whataboutism, I wasn't comparing anything, I was talking about Sudan. And frankly the only only difference here is Arab expansion didn't spread new diseases.

@Black_Sun_Dark_Star China only owns like 2%, maybe another percent secretly in the Bahamas. Japan is something like 5%. I mean it's still a lot of money but I wouldn't say much of it.

What do you think "for show" means? Like is you interpretation they wanted to awe at the fire works?

@hmada1222000 you know most Jews in Israel originated in middle Eastern Arab countries, right? Most of the European Jews are in New York.

@nicholasjohnson778 well be fair, something like 60% of Gaza is under the age of 18. You find me a population of peaceful teenagers living in abject poverty with a finger to point blame at. Teenagers are angsty, angry, and suicidal at the best of times.
1
@nicholasjohnson778 your stance just shifter from "show me the good Palestinians" to "all Palestinians are rapists and murders". You asked how people can support Hamas, I'm saying 60% of those people are at an age where they at the age American kids shoot up schools.

@WinterXR7 @winterinvicta @winterinvicta I agree that the political situation isn't likely to lead to a coup or force Putin out of the war, but it may lead to peace settlements with more reasonable terms from Ukrainian perspectives. A lot has occured there, while a small fraction of Russian land, until this point the only thing keeping Ukraine out was the prestige of Russia, that is a loss people feel, particularly with a hundred thousand refugees spreading word in the country. Conscripts are in the conflict and taken as POWs in camps Russia paints as Nazi adjacent, until now the core areas of Russia haven't been dealing with the actual conflict, now its visible. Inflation has been very high for some time, now Kursk farmers can't collect thier wheat harvest, and gasoline supplies are constantly at target, which are quite significant costs the lower income. All that is to say that until recently, what has been a foreign conflict in Russia has become a domestic one, which politically is very different. to the second point, the particular units in question are drone operaters I believe, so it doesn't suprise me they are less effective in urban combat. But they will slow the advance to the city, and protect the flanks while other infantry units perform the urban combat. The dightiin Bakhmut obviously was extensive. To the economy, as you point out the ruble is weak, but more over the Ukrainian campaign against oil infrastructure only started 6 months ago. Kursk wheat won't be available, but not only that, diesel is going to be a in competition between farmers and the military in a few weeks. Europe has only recently banned un insured ships from their waters, which is meant to push out black fleet ships from the Baltic sea, a major oil shipment terminal. Inflation has been rising, and is being pressed by both a shorage of goods, and army contracts bidding out the labour supply, an issue only worsening. And Russian foreign currency reserves are almost entirely depleted, with the oil fund now mainly holding infrastructure bonds. The Russian financial position has continually worsen, amd while I'm not suggesting an immediate collapse, I would say stalling several months due to mud is harder on Russia than Ukraine. Also, maybe you mean to claim the GDP PPP growth has been higher in Russia than Germany (which is, frankly, a terribly afflicted economy having taken the brunt of anti Russian economic fall out), but I struggle to believe numbers showing a higher standard of living in Russia than Germany. And I would point out that growth in Russian GDP is driven by defense sector spending, which is dubious in its value should the war come to an end. To your last point, I'd suggest the very thing Ukraine wants is a counter attack in Kursk. Images of Russia flattening Russian towns with Artillery and hundreds of conscripts out of Moscow and Saint Petersburg dying or being maimed daily, or else a weakening of Russian forces elsewhere, are both wins for Ukraine.

What's never mentioned is the students in Tiananmen square were hard core communists against market reforms.

Idk why my comment didn't post, but it's never mentioned the students killed in the square were actually hard line communists against market reforms. The US has killed a few communists to.

@DollyRanch and I expect the practice to expand

@mathewferstl7042 I do, and Germany has great trains. Unfortunately, not everything is a train. Sometimes innovation is actually good.

@Connor_Roush okay, but the US has been self sufficient in food for... decades? Ever? I'm not saying it doesn't work I'm just saying it isn't needed.
1
@Connor_Roush as long as we stress the term "sufficient" and aren't bucking all global trade I agree, or at least NAFTA should be. But my point isn't against self sufficiency, my point is AI doesn't change to equation and "automation" is vauge but the automation needed has been in use since your parents were born.

@mehrshadvr4 which must be why Israel returned the Sinai to Egypt and unilaterally pulled out of Gaza. It's goal of expansion was clearly met by giving up control of half the territory under its control and control over the Suez. Frankly the only time Israel can be accused of expansive behavior is it's foundation. The start of the War in Gaza was largely an (currently successful) attempt to prevent an Israeli peace agreement with the Saudis. I have seen no evidence that Israel has any goal of territorial expansion beyond actions like the Golan Heights to secure it's defense from actively hostile neighbors. Also saying the attack was preemptive and therefore the other side started the war is absurd, and frankly the same argument would avail Israel of all responsibility for really any of its actions.

@mehrshadvr4 your reply appears to have been removed, I think because of your edit, because I saw the original in the thread, and only see the edited version as a reply to me. I would be of the opinion this is a gambit of Iran's to put increased public pressure in the region against western aligned governments, an already existing pressure. And I appreciate your frankness on the Baha'i.

@harlowida kinda a moot point but I think the Navajo have a support group you could join.
