It’s murder like in killing a Nazi soldier in France as a French during Nazi occupation in WW2. Sure, it’s illegal under the occupation forces’ law. But it’s still the right thing to do.

How did they manage to shoot that man with a five-year-old? Did they use a trebuchet?! Also, is there an abundance of children or why are they using them as projectiles?

How was that even a prayer. Bro just urged everyone to act based on evidence instead of superstition.

Don’t even need drones or rats for that. Russia has soldiers there. Contrary to media reports, most of them are actually survive to be rotated back home. They would bring the pathogene home with them.

Bio weapons can’t be made to discern between friend and foe because there really isn’t any difference for them to detect. And it’s literally Slavs against Slavs there anyway; it’s basically a civil war with western involvement.

Highly unlikely. In stark contrast to other warmongering nations Russia’s battlefield isn’t over the ocean.

Iran literally can’t hit the US mainland yet. That’s the sole reason for them constantly getting attacked in the first place - preferable while already in some sort of negotiations.

You’re literally a century too late for that. Irregardless is contained in Merriam-Webster, Dictionary.com, and the American Heritage Dictionary.
The word is informal and nonstandard, so don’t use it in corporate settings. But it’s in daily use and gaining popularity. So it’s perfectly fine for forum use.
Also, Papyrus is and always has been the right choice of title font for Avatar.

It can’t be that bad.

Option 2 is my definition of evil. It is what Machiavelli would suggest.
But it also has a non-emotional flaw: other countries’ populations see that evil and hate it. It directly reduces worldwide acceptance of the country itself. Sure, they are immune to kinetic consequences while the US supports them. But the US shows signs of struggle against Iran now. It doesn’t look like their protection is eternal. Drones might one day counter carrier groups like aerial drones countered air bases.
Wouldn’t it make more sense to seek a diplomatic solution - like not treating half the population like cattle and establishing an apartheid state that makes the Dutch blush?

And Israel literally has firsthand experience of what it is like being treated like cattle. It hasn’t been that long since the end of WW2. They should know better than to step in the footsteps of the real Nazis. They know exactly what it looks like. Surely, they know that they have become the baddies.

Just the usual US fake-it-till-you-make-it culture.

I get that Israel basically learned from WW2 Germany how to be evil for evil’s sake…
But if they want to settle on the ground, why would they literally bomb sewage treatment plants, resulting in contamination of the coast and the underground aquifer (this is the actual damage), which they both intend to use themselves for getting drinking water from?
It just doesn’t make any sense.

To be fair, economic safety always has been a core promise of marriage. Feminism has ended that. But in a market economy, increasing supply means falling prices. So doubling the workforce reduces wages.

What we see is how the market resolves the economic side effect of allowing women basic human rights. People can’t afford a family, so they choose not to have kids. A few generations later, the oversupply of workers will be corrected, and work will be worth enough to fund a family again.
It isn’t really necessary to solely rely on the market to fix this. And it is absurdly cruel to do so. And of course, governments have the legislative power to ease the adaptation pain. But even with a pure Epstein-class government, this problem will actually solve itself eventually. It just takes a few generations.

“We don’t need our own backups. The cloud takes care of everything.”

Yeah, who doesn’t?

The economy and relative wealth being based on a lot of gunboat politics might be seen as part of the problem by those who can ask “are we the baddies.” No one needs hundreds of bases all around the world for defense.

To be fair, the entire western world has been told to be the wrong kind of ally by US. So it’s at least consistent.

The formerly big parties discuss just outlawing the party. Actually tackling the problems of the people in the economically weak regions was sadly never seen as an option.

To be fair, there were decades to prevent this. The big parties just didn’t give any fucks. Now they are about to find out, how desperate the population actually is.

Not sure where those “conservatives” draw the line… Obviously, almost the entire current population of US are immigrants or descendants of immigrants. Is it just whoever isn’t already here? How many generations until it’s fine?

Free Americas! Europeans go home! The Americas belong to the natives!

The catastrophe in Tibet was caused by the multiple Nepalese dams being washed away by the massive flood. While no Chinese dam seems to be involved, the general trust into dams in general could be undermined by exposing the population to the imagery of breaking dams.
Censoring a natural catastrophe might look a bit odd to us. But in China has a few not universally loved hydropower projects. And China has suffered earthquakes before. There are numerous locations where landslides could trigger similar catastrophes in China.
I think, the Chinese government is betting on nothing happening to not have to divert important energy development funds into humongous safety infrastructure projects designed to buffer massive floods - if that is even possible.
