I mean fair, but Israel does it deliberately as a matter of policy, and this criticism would never be leveled by Schumer or Biden or most democrats despite all of them knowing it’s true.
The problem with manipulating a narcissist into supporting your war is that when it blows up the narcissist only really cared about himself and isn’t going to adhere to pre-existing norms like “never criticising Israeli military tactics”.
Mostly Bibi just knows how to play the game of respectability better than the freaks in his cabinet.
I don’t align with this company but let me watch it anyways. At that point just watch it since your twisting yourself to justify yourself.
Self-justification aside, the effect of pirating the games (Fifa gets no money) vs not pirating the games (Fifa gets money) is substantially different.
The motive that makes sense to me is that Zelensky is really speaking to everyone else in Russia who might be exhausted with the war, and seeking to embolden them. Ukraine can now do this from a position of strength, where Russia simply cannot protect their own airspace.
And it will still somehow only produce 180HP.
David McGuinty stumbled into the defence minister job just by staying alive and continuing to win his riding long enough. He had no expertise on the defence file and is a pure political operator - he is just towing the line because fundamentally he’s just happy to be there.
Unfortunately is he minister of defence and his statements do matter to some extent, but it’s worth remembering the context here.
There is now a free home assistant plugin to implement it at home lol. Crazy shit. Imagine what’s possible with classified tech.
To be clear, he’s not a billionaire. He desperately wants to be, but he’s currently not.
Which is why he won’t do this. One of his sycophants will explain at a 5th grade level that those bases benefit the US and Trump will forget about this.
No they can’t because they lack the strength. There are no reasoned arguments or claims in play here beyond “the strong do what they want”.
They have tons of competitors. They all just choose to suck.
Minivan full of usb keys. Probably still the fastest data transfer method too.
They want to prosecute peope in open court so using the NSA to id people would be inconvenient (but not impossible).
That would actually be massive escalation in more than the obvious ways. Gulf states are the ones buying up most US debt (which is piling up extremely quickly). This is a large part of their leverage to secure continues US military protection. Should the US Navy be used to block the straight to enforce some kind of all-or-nothing approach, it’s going to be cause a lot of knock on effects in the bond market. We do be living in interesting times!
Neither of those things has anything to do with this. You can eliminate the NASA budget and you still won’t have healthcare lol. You have to actually fight for that.
The moment anyone else moves to assist he will simply bail out and walk away. He was actually dumb enough to say that out loud too. It would be strategically stupid and politically suicidal for anyone else to get involved.
China is getting Iranian oil right now and the US isn’t going to control Iran. Why would either of them commit to this? Pretending like you solved the problem when none of the incentives line up is ridiculous. Either of them could militarily defend Iran if they want to without commiting to a security guarantees for Iran. So why would they bind themselves unnecessarily?
Yes they could do that. But why would they commit to that?
It’s worth remembering the hype cycle when it comes to these things.
