War / Iran War Oil Issues
Last post by TDoS - Apr 01, 2026, 05:27 PMQuote from: K-Dog on Apr 01, 2026, 04:24 PMPast mistakes or a history degree don't automatically apply now. If his current argument is 'AI-generated' or logically thin, point to the specific place where it is wrong. And what do you have against history degrees.
I agree that past behavior demonstrating a lack of critical thinking, consistent logical misfires and no discernable experience in the field of international anything combined with AI could certainly generate a conclusion some might believe is reasonable. Dr Campbell, Dr Hall, and Dr Bardi demonstrate that even advanced degrees are no defense against sometimes tripping over ones past conclusions, so there is no shame for a history major turned geologist to suffer the same.
I have nothing in particular against history degrees. As I have aged, a knowledge of history has struck me as evver more useful, and even in my field of expertise, occasionally critical. After all, if you don't know the history of a particular field of endeavor, how can you even know where to begin trying to advance an understanding in a particular field?
Can you imagine some almost PhD somewhere discovering e=mc^2 and getting all excited over the discovery, just KNOWING he/she would win a Nobel for it? Such a thing could easily happen except....then you learn some history and its an "aw-shucks" kind of moment.
Apparently though Art didn't learn much about the history of oil, or take to heart much from petroleum geologists either before making his proclamations.
Do you have your own evidence and logical assembly to support his claims (you not having the known history he does of screwing the pooch regularly), or do you just agree with his conclusions? You have your own history of course, but I haven't seen you do the embarassing nonsense and claims I've personally watched him commit.
However, to be honest, in your case there is a definitive history of political belief and action that indicates you are a deep down believers in certain concepts. Not that it interferes with your overall brain function, but lets say it might be accused of occasionally....coloring.....the certainty of your conclusions.

What Americans think about Donald Trump’s Iran strategy ahead of his White House address
Roughly two-thirds of Americans disapprove of the US taking military action in Iran.
Trump announced his address a day ago, so the lips will be moving with content decided a day ago. Prepare to be played, the bullshit will be 100%. Trump will announce victories and demand Iran surrender. That is my prediction, the con man speaks. The mad king has you paying for his war, dying for his war, and Trump still makes bank. Trump will not admit he was a fool, and the consequences for America will be very bad.
Trumpo will be talking about bombing Iran into the stone age. Trump is evil, and without humanity. The pain and misery Trump inflicts on others makes him feel like he is 6'3".
I'll conclude my forecast predicting a tornado of stupidity with a 50/50 chance of an attempt to blame things on Biden.

It comes down to if the narcissistic trapped animal will use a nuke. But perhaps I should type 'when' instead of 'if' Trump uses a nuke. At this point I'd bet on it. After all, the motherfucker wants to go down in history as a big big man, and the heartless cretin will smoke people in a heartbeat. He has shown that already.
Given the choice of knowing that a lot of Americans are about to die Trump will nuke. He won't be doing it to save American lives, don't misunderstand. Trump will do it to prevent the blowback from mass casualties and he thinks using a nuke will save his ass.
Exactly how far is it from Iran can't have nukes to I'm using my nuke. Somebody get me a map.
We are now living in the time of a trapped animal, unfortunately this animal in not powerless in a bunker as his enemies close in. He is a demented fool who will play god.THEPOKE.COM • 2026-03-31
You’ve not seen a Downfall parody as funny as this one about Donald Trump’s war on Iran because it’s just brilliant
It will come as no surprise to learn it’s about Trump’s catastrophic war on Iran, obviously, but what might take you aback is just how good it is.
Everything you need to know. Watch this Downfall clip, and you will be up to date on the war. More will happen, but this brings you up to date.
I clicked the link/image and nothing happened. I went to the website and couldn't find the specific clip. Do we have some tech support here who can cure these kinds of basic issues? Maybe the MIB who erase stuff randomly can help out, and get stuff to work?

Maybe. But I have found fault with the pofessional mistakes he has made in public, in front of hundreds of people, or just tens, in national conferences.Or however many were on TOD and knew someone selling an amateurs perspective when it was announced.
What is your experience with his professional mistakes and their magnitude, to believe nothing more than his AI generated argument?
As I have mentioned, folks BELIEVE things they want to believe, first and foremost. Why? Because the scientific training and experience to test out a hypothesis is rare. I can name PhDs who lack such an ability.
Art is a history major for starters. And I caught him at a SIPES meeting not knowing that when it comes to the oil and gas industry as well.
In your world K-Dog, someone who claims to know something about electricity and doesn't know the different between voltage and amps, you take their word for wiring a circuit to your satisfaction do you?

Trump Fascism / Retaliation for Trump's attack
Last post by K-Dog - Apr 01, 2026, 01:09 PM
Iran has attacked Amazon’s servers
News agencies report that Amazon servers were attacked today. Drone strikes hit facilities in Bahrain (Hamala region) and, according to some reports, in the UAE. The attack caused power outages, damage to data centers and disruptions to services, banking and booking systems in the region.
My suggestion to the employees, use your sick leave. Call in.
This is tit for tat because Trump just hit Iran hard, and Iran gave fair warning that they would retaliate against US companies.
Iran Threatens to Start Attacking Major US Tech Firms on April 1
Tech giants like Apple, Google, and Microsoft are among those on a target list released by Iran’s Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps.
