Russia doesn’t need to do that. Burgerlanders already experience it through the magical way they render themselves blind to their government’s behaviour unless it’s projected onto China or Russia. Like how Trump is a Russian asset and China is turning Cuba into a staging ground for an invasion.
Especially when the user experience is constantly guiding users who don’t know better to do exactly that
The Democrats knew this was going to happen. There’s no way they couldn’t. And I don’t mean Democrat supporters, many of whom were vehement that Biden was fine like so many anecdotes in this thread recount. I mean the Democrat leadership, who manage his campaign and more than likely manage his presidency. Unlike the public, they have access to him. They have his medical records, the reports of his doctors and caregivers, everything. There’s no way they didn’t know this would happen if he debated.
They might start seeding support for a different candidate into their supporter’s discourse after this, but they will have been planning for this outcome long ago. And when a left-leaning (left from a US Overton window) news platform hosts a debate that shows him up that badly and then publishes commentary like this, you have to wonder if that caused friction with the DNC or if they assented to it.
As the party starts singling out a replacement, the question I hope people start asking is why they didn’t replace Biden earlier? Did they need to wait until the urgency of imminent elections made their new candidate more palatable? And if they don’t replace Biden, why are they letting Trump win?
Forked-tongued ghouls, all of them.
He gives lots of reasons, but if one of them isn’t “oil-producing countries are starting to escape US hegemony and your gas-guzzling motor industry is on borrowed time” then I don’t think he’s really appealing to the US government’s interests.
That’s not just research, molten salt heliostats are in active use already.
How’d that work out for Australia and Gough Whitlam trying to close Pine Gap?
It doesn’t matter what the people outside China think. The people inside China - on both sides of the Taiwan strait - think Taiwan is part of China. They all call themselves Chinese except the tiny minority that speak with American accents. There are indigenous ethnic minorities on Taiwan whose ancestors were not part of China, but they didn’t call themselves ‘Taiwan’ because that’s a Chinese word.
isn’t there a single candidate that thinks more about the humans than for the money.
Yes, plenty.
Any of them that will be allowed anywhere near power?
No, none.
Conscious and Conscience are different things (but understandably easy to conflate)
I saw Scott Ritter had some interesting insights that MSM, as usual, is missing: Palestinians have much more will to fight. Israelis are a settler nation and most of them have second citizenships they can flee to. Palestinians don’t. For a Palestinian soldier the consequence of surrender is just a slower death than what they’d get if they keep fighting. An Israeli on the battlefield has a lot more to lose from taking any risks compared to fleeing. A Palestinian soldier has nowhere to flee to.
He also noted that if Hezbollah commit as well, all of Israel’s neighbours are gonna see it as a now-or-never chance to finally rid themselves of having a nuclear-armed US puppet on their doorstep; and if they don’t take it and let Israel make a bloodbath of Gaza and the West Bank, they’ll become more stable and consolidated than ever.
Considering how litigious the US is: yeah, they do.
They could do it nice and discreetly, for instance at a Beetlejuice musical.
Oh is that what she’s doing? Yeah you can’t rush stuff like that. But those people who criticize her will be eating their words with a giant spoon when those coalitions eventually bear fruit.
Poor Stephen.
