And everyone knows B-2s and F-35s are invisible, so there’s no point in flying them as a display.

I mean, on a Linux system that’s not riddled with flatpak / snap / … You’d basically only need to update libpng and you’d be good.

I’m convinced the majority of civilian deaths on Oct 7 were also caused by the IDF. There’s the tank that shot a house full of hostages, and the Apaches obliterating basically every car that tried to leave the Nova festival. There’s a reason the Israeli’s never published a breakdown of who got killed and how.

Yep, apparently ‘the air’ is code for ‘a Palestinian’ if used in the context of shooting at something. In Gaza they’re killing scores of people at food distribution sites with ‘warning shots’.

Yes, it invariably devolves into oligarchy.

Because it’s all government subsidies/contracts.

It was clear that that was happening, but it’s a good thing soldiers themselves are coming forward and confirming it.

Oof, I hope he doesn’t break the norm of Presidents doing press conferences clothed, I don’t think I’d recover if he did a nude one.

It’s like taxes, they probably already know, but they make you fill out the form so they can either catch you out if you forget one, or add it to the list if you give one they didn’t know about.

Yeah, that’s definitely true for imperialist countries like Israel, the US and Russia.

I mean, that’s not really surprising. Every military makes plans for any contingency, and Israel especially has always been paranoid about Iran’s nuclear programme, so of course they would make sure they’re tracking the scientists in case they needed to make a move.

The disgusting part is them just pulling the trigger for political reasons instead of actual intelligence that indicates a breakout. And obviously killing civilians, which the scientists and their families are, but obviously Israel has shown in the past they don’t care about that.

Geneticists in a thousand years are going to have questions about a sudden boom in certain gene markers around this time if they don’t have the added context of billionaires deciding they’re the master race by virtue of being billionaires.

So this family member had all the logs and decided not to go to the authorities at all?

It’s always a war crime. People will argue there’s exceptions (Hamas tunnels, etc), but those conditions are never met in reality.

Russia bombed plenty of hospitals as well, and that was widely condemned. The only countries that are allowed to bomb hospitals are the US and Israel.

And even though it’s understandable that Iran would bomb a hospital in retaliation of Israel bombing one of theirs, it’s definitely not a smart thing to do, given how things like that play in the Western media.

In addition to it always being a war crime of course, regardless of context.

Yep, huge country, difficult terrain, largely homogeneous culture that goes back to the Persian Empire, homegrown weapons industry that can build their own drones and missiles. This is going to be more difficult by orders of magnitude.

You don’t need an education system, just past lived experience. Trump himself regularly lies about how he was always against the Iraq war. It’s just one letter off, should be pretty easy to work out what would happen if they did the same thing again.

If you could sum it up in one word: isolationist.

This means low/no immigration, limiting cultural access to ‘home grown’ culture and expelling anyone that doesn’t conform to whatever her idea of ‘American’ is. The only ‘good’ part of that stance is that this also means they don’t want to sign up to the traditional penchant for military adventurism you’ll typically see from the right.

I’m guessing everyone with a brain doesn’t want the US to go into Iran. It’s like these people didn’t learn anything from the last quarter century (and Vietnam before that).

Usually he’s not even involved in running the business, they’re licensing deals where some scammer pays a few million up front to use the Trump name, which is then used to scam his followers.
