I mean what Israel told him to say.

I mean what Israel told him to say.
One nice consequence of China’s decreased oil supply is that no country starts a military campaign when it is running on its oil reserves.
Germany’s supply was pretty shaky when it launched Barbarossa against the Soviets who had supplied maybe 20 percent of it’s oil when they were still allies. Of course, they were banking on capturing the Caucasus oil fields decisively, which obviously didn’t happen.
Japan also launched Pearl Harbor with a pretty shaky oil situation, also assuming they would capture supplies in the Dutch East Indies.
Fact check: False! Sorry @RT_Nomad, single-party states aren’t exactly predictable in that way!
Future events are not facts until they occur, or don’t.
It is a completely different oil world today.
Trump took away the easy supply source with Venezuela oil, and now vastly slowed the Middle East supply source.
I really hope you are right.
You may be right. China doesn’t have any juicy prospects to conquer for their oil. You can’t fuel a navy with semiconductor factories in Taiwan.
82nd airborne had all of their drills cancelled and are preparing to move.
Boots on the ground coming?
To take control of Kharg Island
The enemy needs to believe everything is on the table. Anything else is moronic.
The Israelis took a bunch right out of world supply. Blew it up last night.
Like believing Iran has been months away from nuclear weapons for 40 years moronic?
I’m old enough to remember when Clinton officials were insisting that negotiations would stop North Korea from obtaining nuclear weapons. It all sounds great until they get nuclear weapons. Once they have them, everything changes.
None of us know how close Iran really was, but there is plenty of credible evidence that they were well into the process.
Do you plan on following Fuentes’s advice and voting Democrat for the midterms?
If only.
At times it was like 2 weeks.
You guys still think voting matters federally?
That is cute.
Our nations military decisions are made without my approval. So, what I believe about Iran’s nuclear weapons development doesn’t matter. And it shouldn’t. Nor what you believe.
This carries more weight than most people realize.
You don’t “vote federally”, and yes, voting in federal elections actually matters. Exhibit A is Donald Trump compared to the alternative of Kamala Harris, which would have resulted in continued open borders, among many other terrible policies set at the executive level.
Back to the idea of “voting federally”, we don’t have a federal election system. We have many, many local elections where the ballots are handed out by your neighbors, counted by your neighbors, and reported by your neighbors. Typically, there are many local and state candidates and referenda on the ballots at the same time you are casting a vote (or not) for your federal representatives. In my jurisdiction, these races and ballot questions can sometimes be decided by a dozen or fewer votes, and they are sometimes, but not always, the outcome I want.
It sounds like you think you are awakened (aka “woke”) to some greater truth that escapes me (I’m guessing it’s da joos) and that bemoaning the current state of affairs, declaring that voting is meaningless, and (presumably) continuing to heed the words of Nicholas Fuentes is the best course of action.
If voting is meaningless, why is Fuentes encouraging the Groyper community to vote for Democrats?
Yes. And that is why nothing you say matters, because your lack of access to The Truth makes you ignorant, irrelevant and gullible. At best…
A more nuanced version of events, which is 100% logical since the US is officially at war; when a country is at war, why would the most ready units engage in large scale “practice”.

As of early March 2026, there is a mix of confirmed news and intense speculation regarding the 82nd Airborne Division. Here is the breakdown of what is actually happening:
The U.S. Army recently abruptly canceled a major training exercise for the headquarters element of the 82nd Airborne Division. While some units (like the 3rd Brigade Combat Team) are still training at the Joint Readiness Training Center in Louisiana as of March 9, the core command staff was ordered to remain at their home base at Fort Liberty (formerly Fort Bragg), North Carolina.
The 82nd Airborne always maintains a Brigade Combat Team on “Immediate Response Force” (IRF) status, meaning they are technically always prepared to move anywhere in the world within 18 hours.
The cancellation of the headquarters drill is significant because it suggests the “brain” of the division is being kept home to coordinate a potential real-world mission rather than a practice one.
