Took me just a couple of hours to move all my investments out of the USA and to Europe/Rest of World. Sell all funds that had any investment in USA and move them into ex-USA funds/shares.

The world has quickly disregarded the fact they only a couple of months ago they noisily and publicly executed 10s of thousands of protesters.

Wasn’t 10,000s if you’re referring to Iran. Maybe stop watching Fox News.

If you have a pension you or your employer pay into you are also one of those shareholders via your pension fund.

Visa and MasterCard, whose systems are still rooted in plastic cards and swipe roller on paper transactions.

No that’s only in the USA where you’re decades behind Europe only recently having discovered Chip and PIN that we’ve been using for over 20 years.

A10 Warthog that was part of the search and rescue operation was also shot down, the pilot managing to eject over the Gulf and parachute to safety in Kuwait, and two Blackhawk helicopters also part of the same S&R operation also got shot up. A bit inconvenient for Trump who said that the US had destroyed all of Iran’s air defence capability.

Run a VM for Windows…

systemd…works fine for me. Have changed from systemd-boot to Limine because I dual boot and it’s better at handling Windows and Window’s EFI partition being installed on a separate drive. It just auto-detects it and means that if I do decide to completely ditch Windows I can just wipe that drive.

He can’t declare war without Congress approval yet here we are…

Chris Titus’s WinUtil. In it is a tool called MicroWin that can create a custom installation media which will allow local accounts and also remove all the telemetry, adverts and all the other crap.

Israel only continues to exist because of US backing. If the US is unable to continue to supply Israel with money, arms, ammunition and to use it’s veto in the UN against any action the UN wants to take against Israel then Israel is done.

Afghanistan…

US: “We’ve got the most sophisticated electronic warfare and counter intelligence systems in the world. We can intercept all their emails, cell phone and radio traffic.”

Taliban…goes back to using carrier pigeons and messengers on motorbikes carrying bits of paper.

They never were. For decades the US has only been in NATO for it’s own enrichment and it’s own defence. The ballistic early warning radar that the US have in the UK aren’t of any use to us, flight times from Russia are so short that we’d not be able to react. But they do give the US a significant amount of time to be warned of inbound nukes and to do something about it for them.

What they going to do, remove the UK from the continent?

But we have plenty of oil. Middle Eastern oil accounts for barely 2%.

Trump already has lost. There’s a Khomeni in charge of the country who is even more hardline than the last with a long queue of replacements should he get killed, they’ve not surrendered, they’re not negotiating and they’re only letting through ships they choose to. They’re still firing missiles at every Arab nation with a US base in it as well as at Israel. They’re still selling their oil. And now the Iran supported Houtis in Yemen have kicked off too, also lobbing missiles at Israel and threatening closing off the Bab al Mandab Strait which is the access to the Red Sea that’ll cut off access to the western oil pipelines Saudi Arabia has.

TACO Trump Tuesday strikes again. Trump makes threats, those he’s threatening laugh at him, mock him and ignore the deadline, Trump chickens out and tries to make up something else to hide the fact he’s failed.

Europe are introducing it, some countries already have before the UK. But thanks for letting us know you’ve done zero research on the matter.

If you have to fill them in, it is.

Grow up.
