He has no cards because US has no interests in Iran. Let China open the Gulf!

-FJ the Dangerous and Extreme MAGA Jew said...

-FJ the Dangerous and Extreme MAGA Jew said...

Naaah. A risk-reward calculation of little risk, huge reward (Iran's resources open to US corporate exploitation).

-FJ the Dangerous and Extreme MAGA Jew said...

It hasn't paid off... yet.

Shrinking to a small number of tribes of non-white population?;-p

-FJ the Dangerous and Extreme MAGA Jew said...

Shrinking down to a native population... with closed borders... and accepting no foreign "refugees". We'll remain as dumb as we wanna be.

-FJ the Dangerous and Extreme MAGA Jew said...

...and as small as the birth rate demands. Birth rate = life satisfaction level of population.

-FJ the Dangerous and Extreme MAGA Jew said...

Size = happiness. How's Europe doing?

Europe's birth rate has hit a historic low, with the EU total fertility rate dropping to 1.34 live births per woman in 2024, down from 1.53 in 2021. No European country meets the 2.1 replacement rate, with southern and eastern nations like Spain (1.1) and Ukraine (0.99) seeing the lowest rates, while France (1.61 - 1.64)- holds among the highest.
