This is not a case of Trump having done bad things and Biden doing nothing. An analogue is if trump were firing a minigun on a bunch of people, he left office, Biden took over and resumed firing.

Also, sanctions by the richest country in history need to be proven to have adverse effects on the imposed in the same way the theory of gravity needs to be proven again: only flat earth type loonies need it so it's merely an exercise, not an academic necessity.

It's irritating that we won't get to see Biden fail to string up sentences together on the debate in September, but I'm far more annoyed at how quickly all the morons trying to get people to vote for a corpse turned around to sing a different tune. Previously people who didn't want to support a zionist zombie were against democracy or whatever the fuck, now Biden is laudable for realising his flesh will have fallen off by November.

This idiot really is pissing herself that she'll be governed by Labour aristocrats instead of blue blooded Etonian pig fuckers. Worst case scenario, TERF island will saunter into the sea instead of actively sinking, more likely nothing will change.

All this needs is to make the indigenous person a golden eagle, may not be such a direct relation to the supposed ancient ancestors but certainly more of a descendant than a lizard.

I hope the Tories don't stop coming up with policies just because they've been relegated to the shadow cabinet, otherwise sir Keir might not know what to do and accidentally enact something half decent once a year.

Huh. Must be a day that ends with y.

No one can really make an argument that  the Iranians don’t know about the unit. Iran’s intelligence doesn’t need a public webpage to know about U.S. forces operating in Israel. So the only ones who are kept in the dark are  the American people, who don’t have the luxury of an intelligence service (or a functional and informative news media) to tell them what’s going on. Americans who, poll after poll demonstrates, care deeply about what’s happening in Israel and their government’s role in it.

Propaganda isn't for the enemies, it's domestic. You keep Rome stable so you can fight your imperialistic wars in peace. It's hard to fill your coffers under scrutiny.

I don't believe either candidate is doing a bad job gutting the US on the inside, though as an outsider my perspective is limited.

On the diplomatic front, absolutely. During Trump's term, most usian "allies" took the dumb shit he did as the temporary acts of some man-child. The corpse of Joe Biden is disproving the myth of the adults in charge in real time. He started a losing war in the Ukraine and now he's practically overseeing a genocide. What's more, he could've let Trump have sinophobia, but he chose to reveal that democrats could be just as sabre-rattling.

At this point anyone who isn't as dignified as Obama is fine though. It's all a race to the bottom with the bourgeois dictatorships and only an articulate, pretty face can mask that, and even that not for long.

At great cost I presume, this sort of thing can't be cheap

I thought this statistic could simply mean that a lot of people get illegal entity citizenship without intending to move there, but clearly there's more.

“Seventy per cent of those polled reported that they have significantly changed their behaviour in public since 7 October,” said the survey report. “They are more reluctant to display Jewish symbols or speak in Hebrew, they remove the mezuzahs from their doorposts, they tend to go out less and meet less frequently in city centres.”

It added that 44 per cent of respondents considered enhancing their self-defence capabilities. “They cited the purchase of a firearm, carrying pepper spray or tear gas, installing security cameras in their homes or taking Krav Maga [martial art] lessons as the preferred means for achieving this goal.”

"I'm worried I'll be attacked due to my religion/ethnicity. On an unrelated note, those 13000 Palestinian kids deserved what they got." -Zionist fucks, as always

I like calling mine Mothra. It's not clever, but I couldn't think of anything else when I first realised I could rename the seamoth and wanted badly to name it.

What about Bumblebee or Weasel? The seamoth's small and manouverable, it makes sense.

Here's a super fun exercise anyone can do with a bit of free time. If ever you read an article regurgitating some claim of an atrocity by any western enemy, follow the links to the claim. It won't be much of a rabbit hole. In general, for a 4 yol claim (so the October 7 tales may not fit exactly) you'll be linked to a 2 week old article, which will link a 6 month old one, which will link a 2 yo one, which send you to:

  1. Wikipedia, which will have already been re-written citing a 1 yo article
  2. A UN transcript, HRW article, or something equally worthless of someone repeating the claim
  3. The best approximation of an original source

That last one is extremely rare, but it's always magnificent. You find out stuff like how the 1-3 million interned Uyghurs claim comes from a pseudo-study that remotely talked to 8 people and nothing else.

STEM folks having low comphrehension of the world around them is very near the bottom of the west's problems. A much bigger issue is most people specialising in history, philosophy, economics, international relations etc. not having a clue about their field. One can spend decades studying this or that monetary theory, but without reading the foremost critics of the system of economics, or even realising this system isn't a natural thing given to us by a metaphor-god, it's absolutely worthless. Studying history without a proper understanding of materialism is like building a brick wall, making massive holes and then filling them with foam.

Worst of all in my opinion is that westerners can't differentiate between theory, conjecture and speculation, regardless of education. Something's only true or false based on one's preconceived notions.
