    Oh no. Please. Not NVidia, or Meta, or Amazon, or Google, or Apple, or Palantir… Oh and don’t forget… Uh, I mean not Mircosoft.

    “Residents within a one-kilometer radius of these terrorist companies across all countries in the region are also urged to evacuate and move to safe locations.”

    Americans: “The fuck is a ‘kilometer’?”

    Also Americans: “The fuck is a ‘radius’?”

      There’ll be like two actual Americans there, but the rest of the workforce won’t explain it to them because they’re sick of everything being compared to “back home” all the time.

      Interesting that they put their data centers near civilians population. Wouldn’t that make them human shields?

    You can tell America is in a pretty bad place when Americans aren’t too broken up about this development. Or actively cheering it on.

    Yet another really good reason to work from home.

    old timey propaganda poster similar to the "when you ride alone you ride with hitler" poster except it says "when you work in the office you work for Iran. Work from home today!"

    If Oracle was on the list, they’d tell their employees to come into the office anyway.

    Many U.S. tech companies have offices in Jerusalem, Tel Aviv, and Abu Dhabi, which could become targets of Iranian drone and missile attacks if the country follows through on its threat.

      Microsoft has offices in Qatar, Dubai, SA, Bahrain, Oman, Kuwait, and more I’m sure. Oracle also has offices across the region.

      These come to mind, but there are many other companies I’m sure.

    How difficult would it be to smuggle and assemble a variant of the Shahed drone into North America? Dissembled and separated, it would look like lawn mower parts, sheet metal, and ewaste.
