Trump thread 2.0

I also heard there was some $750 billion deal with LNG going on with Europe? The deadline to sign is March 28 so the US is trying to squeeze Europe to sign before the end of the week.

I wonder how many manufacturers will even bother selling us routers? If the market here just shrank by 340MM people, is it worth it to get a router certified for sale here?

Those router+switch+wireless AP combos that people refer to as routers emit RF and have to be approved for sale.
You can't just import one yourself from the EU or Asia, you might get a knock on the door from the CRTC for broadcasting on illegal frequencies... lol

CRTC actually showed up to my house once and disrespected my family.

The notice they served me was deadly. You can protest. You can spew garbage on social media. But whatever you do: Don't mess with the CRTC. They will fuck you up good. Lesson learned.

What do you have to do with telecommunications?

Iran needs to bomb an elementary school in USA to even the playing field, then US would start "negotiations"

Its amazing that USA has been war free for only about 15 years of its 240 years, maybe if they stopped invading countries.....

I find this funny bcos Trump is getting dragged along through this mud. Israel and Netanyahu are supposed to be the US & Trump's ME attack dog, and they are supposed to be the ones doing the US' and Trump's bidding. Instead, they are now the ones calling the shots.

If anything, I'd say Netanyahu is the bigger warmonger than Putin is.

Cheeto's mention of an Iranian government official who is in talks with the Americans.

Maybe it's the Iranian parliament speaker? A tough war veteran and lifelong part of the Iranian Revolutionary Guard starting in his teens. Hmm. Could he be the man who is using social media like X to troll Cheeto?

The Iranian official talked of as a potential interlocutor with the Trump administration once boasted that he personally beat protesters as a young police commander in the Islamic Republic.

Mohammad Bagher Ghalibaf, speaker of the Iranian parliament, has never been shy about his role in suppressing challenges to the Islamic Republic.

“Photographs of me are available showing me on back of a motor bike…beating (the protesters) with wooden sticks…I was among those carrying out beatings on the street level and I am proud of that,” Ghalibaf is heard saying in an audio recording from 2013 about protests years earlier

For the 64-year-old Ghalibaf, the security of the Islamic Republic has always been the overriding priority. His public remarks emphasize resistance, national strength, and the need to confront external pressure rather than compromise.

Little surprise then that he is now issuing declarations almost daily through social media in defiance of the United States and Israel.

President Donald Trump said Monday that the US was having “very strong talks” and was “dealing with the man who is most respected” in Iran, but declined to name him.

Some reports said he was referring to Ghalibaf, who within hours denied there were any negotiations between Tehran and Washington.

He posted on X: “No negotiations have been held with the US, and fake news is used to manipulate the financial and oil markets and escape the quagmire in which the US and Israel are trapped.”

Throughout the conflict, he has regularly used social media to goad Trump and demonstrate a hard line on Iran’s conditions for ending the war.

“Certainly we aren’t seeking a ceasefire. We believe the aggressor must be punished and taught a lesson that will deter them from attacking Iran again,” he said on X on March 10.

Experts say he has connections across the regime’s centers of influence that would afford him a critical role in any negotiated settlement.

“He is the guy running the show,” said Hamidreza Azizi at the German Institute for International and Security Affairs.

Azizi described him as above all a “security first” official.

Ghalibaf was involved in crushing of pro-reform student protests in 1999 and was among IRGC commanders who warned then-President Mohammad Khatami, a reformist, that the unrest threatened national security and could force the Guards to intervene. He oversaw the suppression of further student demonstrations in 2003 as police chief and held a senior security role during the widespread protests that followed the disputed 2009 election.
