they also blew it up a few months ago, they rebuilt it. this attack was more serious but don’t doubt they’ll try to do the same again and this time they’ll be shipping thru suez.

my point is that those chokepoints are mainly designed to let the oil go out, and saudi arabia is in the red sea. if they wanted to they could use the suez canal as a worldwide route for oil export, even if it would be more expensive. and the houthis said only saudi ships are not allowed to transit, so it’s not like the suez or bab-el-mandeb are closed right now, they need to keep the economic incentive for other countries.

so what i’m saying is that saudi arabia could sail from the west of its country, go north to the suez and export oil to the us for example. or why do you think that’s not possible? i mean i’m all for them to completely control the red sea, don’t get me wrong, it’s just i think there’s that exit still.

yemen is at the south of the red sea, literally next to bab-el-mandeb. they control that area of the red sea, not the suez canal, which is way up north and connects with the mediterranean, egypt controls that. i haven’t read anything claiming they have complete control over the whole of the red sea, only that area where they can target boats leaving the red sea through the strait.

the houthis didn’t achieve control of the suez canal, but of bab-el-mandeb. at least i didn’t found info on it.

thats a fucking pr stunt bro

yeh, it just sucks while we wait is all i mean

it feels so bad knowing they have all this shit while most of other countries are living like beggars.

i have been convinced. what do you think it’s a better implementation? simplex?

ahh, lemmy.world

the last chokepoint is the suez canal, if the axis somehow manages to get a hold of it oil has nowhere to go. of course this is a non issue now since it isn’t flowing westward, but they’ll try to rebuild this pipeline every time they can. we’ll start feeling the oil prices for real now, tho.

well, tbh we’re going back to 2001 after milei’s finished so we’ll probably be so fubar that anything could happen, if the communist party here organizes a bit lol.

but yeah, people don’t realize how deeply embedded the cia is involved in latam. even moderately left wing people are persecuted all across the region in one way or another, if we think about political figures in the pink wave for example.

piece of nazi useless trash, butthurt cracker westoid gringo you be coping hard af.

signal? the one that requires a phone number to registar? the one that has a centralized server that you can’t self host basically?

unsure how powerful your pc is. but i’ve heard you can achieve great performance on a vm using qemu. another option would be dual booting.

lol, china is biggest world economy. the soviet took a famine ridden feudal country and turned it into a global power. meanwhile kkkanadians are clapping literal nazis in parliament. keep coping while your burger reich overlords annex your settler colony and you spend all of you wage on a 2m2 appartment.

without that metadata you’d get a pretty bare bones experience. encrypting metadata adds another layer of complexity, not everyone wants that.

while i think it’d be nice if those things weren’t seen it’s not that much, specially if you don’t use any real life connection to your user (you’d need to hide your ip i guess). i mean, you can’t go to jail for any of those things. if you want even more privacy you can stop federating. i wonder how much of this is because of synapse and if the other servers would do better. they come with tradeoffs, though, synapse is the only one that supports self destructing messages for example afaik.

you couldn’t be more wrong. marxism endorses nationalism. there hasn’t been a single revolution in AES countries that wasn’t nationalist. hell, cuba’s motto was fatherland or death. the difference between marxist’s nationalism and the right’s nationalism is that marxism is both nationalist and internationalist. while fascists are nationalists, but not internationalists. we support the autonomy and sovereignty of all nations.
