“Back in my day” people protested knowing that they’d get arrested. I don’t know why this has apparently been forgotten and they’re surprised by the arrests? Is the civil rights movement not taught in schools anymore? As long as we avoid another Kent State this is just how it’s always worked. Whining about it by the protesters just shows a lack of understanding in regards to how the world works. Have they not even seen Greta Thunberg getting arrested? Amateurs!

“This complicates our plans for a land bridge to Kaliningrad!”

How long before Iran is sending missiles toward Israel that are equipped with anti-anti-missile missiles? Then it’s an anti-missile arms race all the way down.

You’ll notice that the report doesn’t estimate whether they died before or after Israel’s incursion.

Ain’t no party like a 50 cent party 'cuz a 50 cent party don’t stop.

No. Humans in aircraft are on the way out. Drones are the future. When the drones are significantly cheaper than the missiles used to shoot them down, logistics inevitably wins.

China is having massive economic problems currently. Who is OP trying to convince otherwise? Ignore the cape. Watch the bullfighter.

Uh, have you seen the Chinese economy recently?

Also, when your economy is doing so poorly it’s easy to do better. When your economy is doing well, it’s more difficult to improve.

Mathematically, if I give a naked homeless person with no worldly possessions a sandwich, they have infinitely more wealth. It’s still just a sandwich though.

I seem to have misplaced the world’s tiniest violin. Sad.

For anyone who’s been following along, Russia should have been able to take Avdivka over a year ago. For it to have taken this long really says everything. If this is a “turning point” in the war, there is still quite a lot of room for optimism.

We should go back to this. I want to ride on a subway with everyone shouting “Meet hot singles in your area! Improve facial skin with one simple trick! Secret and confidential. Eyes only!”

I feel like we’re getting hung up on the definition of genocide. It is reasonable to believe that what is happening in Gaza does not fall under the definition. That doesn’t make it any less horrible. People are having a semantic argument while others perish.

Those countries can’t swing Florida election results

Yes, the vague equivalent would be for the Native Americans to reclaim the United States via superior force ~1800 years from now.

It would put Israel “on the back foot” in regards to the conflict. Israel would be tied up negotiating for hostage release which is exactly where Hamas wants them. It stops being a question of who is winning a battle and turns it into “how much is Israel willing to sacrifice”.

“European settlers” in the sense that they hadn’t been in Israel since the Romans kicked them out in '65 for causing too much trouble with all their messiahs and religious zealotry.

There’s a whole conspiracy regarding Covid that RFK Jr. is blathering about. Supposedly this data breach targeted Jews and Chinese folks. I’m assuming that it’s related in some way, but it’s not clear how.
