Every public attack on Zelenskyy - and there are many - is designed to turn the world's sympathies and support away from Ukraine and towards Vladimir Putin's Russia. And the same for when he gushes over Putin. When Trump does things like telling telling the world's media that Ukraine started the war, and when he votes in step with Russia's position on the war in the UN, these aren't clever 3D chess moves. They are designed to hurt Ukraine and help Vladimir Putin [https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/United\_Nations\_General\_Assembly\_Resolution\_ES-11/7](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/United_Nations_General_Assembly_Resolution_ES-11/7)","Be clear trump knows what Putin is.

I’d say the early Ukrainian conflict might have qualified.","I understand why people might feel it was a mistake for Ukraine to give up nuclear weapons but I'm not sure they are factoring in the bigger picture. Ukraine was unlikely to kick off a nuclear war in response to Russia's incursion. The international community would have put a lot of pressure on Ukraine to not start WW3 if Putin had invaded Donetsk so I don't know how much of a deterrent nuclear weapons would have been in reality. If we think nuclear weapons are a good deterrent look at India and Pakistan, both have nuclear weapons but the Kashmir conflict which started in 1947 is [ongoing](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/2025_India%E2%80%93Pakistan_conflict) with recent missile and drone attacks. Israel has nuclear weapons but these have not prevented near [constant attacks](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_attacks_during_the_Iran%E2%80%93Israel_war). The UK had nuclear weapons when the Argentine Junta decided to take the Falkland Islands. A massive nuclear arsenal didn't deter the 9/11 attacks on the US. And of course while Ukraine didn't have nuclear weapons allied nations do but they didn't use them and had no intention of using them. Having nukes clearly doesn't automatically prevent attacks. Responses have to be proportionate and the only good reason to use nuclear weapons, arguably, is in response to a nuclear attack. Perhaps the reason we have not seen them used since WW2 is because they are so strategically problematic. And the cost of maintaining even a few nuclear weapons is so high it pulls resources from your traditional military operations. For a smaller country that could potentially make you even more vulnerable than not having nuclear arms.","For Ukrainians, a nuclear missile museum is a bitter reminder of what the country gave up",worldnews,fatbob42,CatalyticDragon,1767238532,nx0zf6c,nx0urxx,1q0tb63,0.2,0.4,0.2,0,0,0.2 "Same.

The international community would have put a lot of pressure on Ukraine to not start WW3 if Putin had invaded Donetsk so I don't know how much of a deterrent nuclear weapons would have been in reality. We will never know,but what can be sure is that it would keep putin from full on invasion/war and certain actions that would escalate. It would also force international community to put more pressure to end the war to avoid catastrophy. N.Korea has nukes,it would not have been problem for Ukraine to develop as well. >Responses have to be proportionate and the only good reason to use nuclear weapons, arguably, is in response to a nuclear attack. You kinda argue against yourself,what is the reason western countries have not given full green light and put restrictions on what weapons they provide Ukraine? Its obvious the war would be over very soon if Russia had no nukes. So if detterment works for Russia why would it not work for Ukraine? so to sum up : Ukraine having nukes at the very least. 1) Would force putin to be limited in his initial and later attacks. 2)Wester countries would feel more pressure i think as well. 3)Its very likely no full scale war would happen in the first place. Nukes work as detterent,the reason people dont use them is because if you do it could trigger armagedon,and noone wants to risk it. This is why the west chose not to escalate with Russia.","I understand why people might feel it was a mistake for Ukraine to give up nuclear weapons but I'm not sure they are factoring in the bigger picture. Ukraine was unlikely to kick off a nuclear war in response to Russia's incursion. The international community would have put a lot of pressure on Ukraine to not start WW3 if Putin had invaded Donetsk so I don't know how much of a deterrent nuclear weapons would have been in reality. If we think nuclear weapons are a good deterrent look at India and Pakistan, both have nuclear weapons but the Kashmir conflict which started in 1947 is [ongoing](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/2025_India%E2%80%93Pakistan_conflict) with recent missile and drone attacks. Israel has nuclear weapons but these have not prevented near [constant attacks](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_attacks_during_the_Iran%E2%80%93Israel_war). The UK had nuclear weapons when the Argentine Junta decided to take the Falkland Islands. A massive nuclear arsenal didn't deter the 9/11 attacks on the US. And of course while Ukraine didn't have nuclear weapons allied nations do but they didn't use them and had no intention of using them. Having nukes clearly doesn't automatically prevent attacks. Responses have to be proportionate and the only good reason to use nuclear weapons, arguably, is in response to a nuclear attack. Perhaps the reason we have not seen them used since WW2 is because they are so strategically problematic. And the cost of maintaining even a few nuclear weapons is so high it pulls resources from your traditional military operations. For a smaller country that could potentially make you even more vulnerable than not having nuclear arms.","For Ukrainians, a nuclear missile museum is a bitter reminder of what the country gave up",worldnews,New_Parking9991,CatalyticDragon,1767241636,nx16shp,nx0urxx,1q0tb63,0.4,0.4,0.4,0.4,0.2,0.2 "What even the fuck has being pro-Russia got to do with this.

Leaders like Nehru were inspired by ideas from socialism as it was the new thing back when the constitution was being written. Indian economy had socialist features like planning commissions and all.

Otherwise you end up with asymmetric thrust (briefly). Which isn't impossible to manage, but not something an autopilot is really built to handle. So, typically it defaults to shutting itself off and telling the aircrew to take over. And by this point in the case of MH370, there likely wasn't anyone alive and/or willing to take the stick. Which leaves Sir Isaac Newton driving. So, most likely, one engine flames out causing the plane to begin yawing towards the cold jet, and starting to nose up. Between the engine failure and leaving directed parameters the autopilot kicks off, blasting alarms into the cockpit. Assuming no one takes over at this point (say, to initiate a dive); the yaw and nose-up attitude increase causing the plane to enter an increasingly sharp spiral. Before too long (probably seconds), the other engine runs out of fuel and flames out as well. This removes the unbalanced thrust, and might even be enough to shift the plane into the postulated ""glide landing"". But most likely, the aircraft simply continues to spiral downward, though perhaps not quite so aggressively. This continues until the plane strikes the water.","Not really.

So, most likely, one engine flames out causing the plane to begin yawing towards the cold jet, and starting to nose up. Between the engine failure and leaving directed parameters the autopilot kicks off, blasting alarms into the cockpit. Assuming no one takes over at this point (say, to initiate a dive); the yaw and nose-up attitude increase causing the plane to enter an increasingly sharp spiral. Before too long (probably seconds), the other engine runs out of fuel and flames out as well.

First to consider is the oil price. Oil is the backbone of the regime's budget and keeps everything else paid for. With oil prices consistently around $60 a barrel even if Iran was a perfectly normal country with its current economic structure, it's still gonna be in a bit of a struggle. But Iran is not a normal country and it's under sanctions for its sponsorship of terrorism across the subcontinent, and so its actual revenue received from its oil is actually significantly lower than the global listed price. Buyers pay a discount on smuggled oil because of the risks involved and the reduced pool of refineries that are willing to handle them. Sanctioned oil needs to travel by a shadow fleet, which requires extra steps like transferring crude off shore and hiding their registration behind shell companies, which has extra costs involved. The US has also started targeting the shadow fleet off of Venezuela, which reduces the number of available tankers in the fleet and jacks up the insurance premium, while not directly involved in the outcome of these protests, it does make the Iranian regime even more brittle in the long run. Then there's the chronic water problems that the regime faces. Iran's agriculture relies on extensive waterworks to function, and the best part of their infrastructure came from pre-1979 which was built under the Shah with western assistance. Anything built after that has shoddy construction plagued by corruption, and both the good bits and the bad bits have been grossly mismanaged by IRGC-associated organizations who continue to siphon money off to enrich regime insiders. The situation is so bad the Iranian president himself says Tehran is on the verge of becoming uninhabitable just from water shortages. You combine that with an economy that has spent 10 years under import restrictions that makes foreign currency obtainable only through oil and bitcoin mining, and essential goods become much more difficult to obtain. Iran's term for this is the ""resistance economy"", but what is really happening is that the dearth of imports means basic quality of life goods like medicine and stable food supply are scarce, and access is controlled once again by regime insiders who dictate who has access to scarce foreign currency. And of course, rather than spending limited oil-fueled government budgets on keeping internal stability, Iran has wasted a whole bunch propping up Houthis, Hamas, Hezbollah and other terrorist groups, plus the incredibly expensive threshold nuclear policy that was proven very ineffective recently. Their theory was that holding 90% of a bomb is pretty much the same as holding 100% of a bomb, because the US and its allies would hesitate to bomb them all the same under the threat of Iran completing that 10% while under fire. Turns out, you can't make 10% of a bomb when the air is dominated by F-35s, and now Iran has to spend even more money building all these capabilities back up. To make things just a little bit worse/better, the fringes of Iranian territory are full of secessionist, particularist and separatist factions as the country is a bit of an empire built on the core territory of Persians. You've got Azeris in the northwest, Kurds in the west, various Arabs and sunnie Muslims in the southwest, Balochs in the southeast and Turkmen up north; none of them are Persian and far more likely to protest at any given moment against an extractive regime that has to maintain expensive police presence across the country just to stop it from breaking apart. Oh, and of course, there's a tiny little issue that is the constant and unquenchable desire of the Iranian regime to beat up women for having a face. I'm not sure if this protest is *the* protest, but the Islamic State in Iran is just going to face continued and ratcheting tensions that never really gets resolved properly because all of the problems are fundamental to the regime's philosophy and goals. It can only keep hitting snooze by quelling protests through a combination of expensive violence and expensive appeasement.

The uprising was the typical cold war era stuff - communists, socialists, students, intellectuals and riding on their coat-tails, some Islamists. I suppose I'll say the politically motivated uprising groups - the communists and so on - were naive about the motives of the religious group. I guess they thought that following a revolution, they'd all settle down to govern together in a glorious utopia of communism, socialism, science , learning and... Islam. Anyway, the revolution happens, monarch (known as Shah) flees with his family to a safe haven outside Iran, and the revolutionary group take over. Except, the religious group then stabbed the rest of the lot in the back - both figuratively, and literally in some cases - and assumed control in god's name with support of the army who, if in doubt trust god before a communist. They set up a theocratic government and established a new dictatorahip using Islamic Sharia as the foundation. They've run the place ever since using brutal policing of the populace to keep control, and of course labelling anyone not toeing the line as infidels. And from there, the predominantly Muslim population fell in line because who wants to go to hell? Pray enough in the right direction and all will be well right? And here we are about 50 years later - people have had enough. However I think it's worthwhile noting they haven't had enough of Islam, this set of protests started due to very poor economic conditions against a backdrop of electric and water scarcity, attacks due to Iran's nuclear programme, and money going overseas to fund Islamist terror groups around the world. Iranians have had enough of working, seeing their money going overseas, getting beaten for not being Muslim enough and then the lights go of and told they can't have water.

The uprising was the typical cold war era stuff - communists, socialists, students, intellectuals and riding on their coat-tails, some Islamists. I suppose I'll say the politically motivated uprising groups - the communists and so on - were naive about the motives of the religious group. I guess they thought that following a revolution, they'd all settle down to govern together in a glorious utopia of communism, socialism, science , learning and... Islam. Anyway, the revolution happens, monarch (known as Shah) flees with his family to a safe haven outside Iran, and the revolutionary group take over. Except, the religious group then stabbed the rest of the lot in the back - both figuratively, and literally in some cases - and assumed control in god's name with support of the army who, if in doubt trust god before a communist. They set up a theocratic government and established a new dictatorahip using Islamic Sharia as the foundation. They've run the place ever since using brutal policing of the populace to keep control, and of course labelling anyone not toeing the line as infidels. And from there, the predominantly Muslim population fell in line because who wants to go to hell? Pray enough in the right direction and all will be well right? And here we are about 50 years later - people have had enough. However I think it's worthwhile noting they haven't had enough of Islam, this set of protests started due to very poor economic conditions against a backdrop of electric and water scarcity, attacks due to Iran's nuclear programme, and money going overseas to fund Islamist terror groups around the world. Iranians have had enough of working, seeing their money going overseas, getting beaten for not being Muslim enough and then the lights go of and told they can't have water.

This lead to the Shah getting quite powerful.,"Iran used to have a Monarchy system up until the 80s when, for various reasons that fell out of favor with the populace. The uprising was the typical cold war era stuff - communists, socialists, students, intellectuals and riding on their coat-tails, some Islamists. I suppose I'll say the politically motivated uprising groups - the communists and so on - were naive about the motives of the religious group. I guess they thought that following a revolution, they'd all settle down to govern together in a glorious utopia of communism, socialism, science , learning and... Islam. Anyway, the revolution happens, monarch (known as Shah) flees with his family to a safe haven outside Iran, and the revolutionary group take over. Except, the religious group then stabbed the rest of the lot in the back - both figuratively, and literally in some cases - and assumed control in god's name with support of the army who, if in doubt trust god before a communist. They set up a theocratic government and established a new dictatorahip using Islamic Sharia as the foundation. They've run the place ever since using brutal policing of the populace to keep control, and of course labelling anyone not toeing the line as infidels. And from there, the predominantly Muslim population fell in line because who wants to go to hell? Pray enough in the right direction and all will be well right? And here we are about 50 years later - people have had enough. However I think it's worthwhile noting they haven't had enough of Islam, this set of protests started due to very poor economic conditions against a backdrop of electric and water scarcity, attacks due to Iran's nuclear programme, and money going overseas to fund Islamist terror groups around the world. Iranians have had enough of working, seeing their money going overseas, getting beaten for not being Muslim enough and then the lights go of and told they can't have water.

This is true on the surface, but no one has actually made any concessions, because nothing has been agreed upon between Ukraine and Russia. In my opinion, these ""peace talks"" are not really negotiations between Ukraine and Russia, they are attempts to sway the policy of the USA. It's a recognition by both sides that the US is now run largely by TV personalities with very few ideological tethers. In negotiations, the Russians keep talking about solving the ""root causes"" of the war (which they then refuse to further elaborate on). The NYT recently summed it up nicely: > Mr. Lavrov was a nationalist hard-liner vehemently opposed to concessions to end the war; he spoke ominously about “solving the Ukraine problem once and for all.” Mr. Ushakov came across as more open. Yet he, too, spoke frequently about the war’s “root causes” — **Kremlin shorthand for Mr. Putin’s bitterness over his country’s diminished post-Soviet world stature**. Russia is not in this war to gain some territory in the east of Ukraine, they're trying to re-establish themselves as a great power. Fracturing NATO and the EU would be real victories in this regard. I don't think the Russians are happy about their current state, and the current negotiations do offer a way out of this war. But I think that for both sides, the negotiations are fundamentally about swaying the policy of the US, and there's not much hope of finalizing any actual agreement.

Hezbollah is an international project that Iran has been working on since the 1980's, and it's unclear if it's even going to survive over the course of the next decade.

All of their efforts in terms of money and even casualties they and affiliated militias suffered to keep Assad in power only prolonged Assad's regime by a couple of years. Make no mistake, it's quite a blunder for a regional power like Iran to expend so much of it's soft power on what objective and then having nothing to show for it. Iranians suffer poor economic prospects and having a passport that's not all that useful due to Iran's militaristic attitude and Iran justifies this to their people by arguing it's necessary to destroy Israel and protect the Shia population both inside and outside of Iran. The regime having nothing tangible to show as their accomplishments just makes everything worse as the result is that making Iran an international pariah has done nothing to help the global Shia population and Israel is in an even stronger position than it was 10 years ago. Also, Syria is just one piece of this. Hezbollah is an international project that Iran has been working on since the 1980's, and it's unclear if it's even going to survive over the course of the next decade. Right now it's extremely weakened, and Israel is no longer afraid of continually striking Lebanon and the prospect of Hezbollah's missile force is no longer something that pauses Israel from going too far in responding to Hezbollah. And, they are quite resolute in making sure Hezbollah doesn't have the ability to even rebuild back to what it had just a few years ago and the supply lines between Iran and Lebanon without Assad are much worse. The Houthis and the Iraqi militias remain the aspect of Iran's foreign that are not as badly damaged, but even they haven't gone unscathed. The Houthis have faced repeated attacks from US and Israel after attacking international shipping and lobbing missiles at Israel. There's been a handful of back and forths with Iraqi militias and US, but more importantly to Iraq has been diplomatic pressure on Iraq's government to rein them in.

This is the story of a Crans-Montana resident who, on New Year's Eve, experienced firsthand the tragedy of the fire that broke out at the Le Constellation bar, costing dozens of lives. ""In a matter of seconds, the carefree atmosphere vanished,"" the woman told the newspaper 24heures. ""We were at a party with friends, there was music playing and people toasting. Suddenly, my daughter called me and shouted, 'Mom, it's terrible, there's a fire at the Constellation. There are people dead.'"" The woman rushed into the street. ""The Rue Centrale was already blocked off by the police. In the distance, sirens could be heard. Around me, people were incredulous, worried, silent."" Another resident said he had heard helicopters all night. ""At first, with the fireworks, we didn't understand what was happening. Then we saw the smoke. It's terrible: that bar was frequented mostly by young people."" Possible cause of the fire: fireworks on bottles - According to the account of a young man who was inside the establishment and spoke to the 24heures portal, the fire was apparently started by fireworks attached to champagne bottles, which caught fire upon contact with the ceiling. This incident reportedly sparked panic among customers. According to his testimony, confirmed by another person present, the crowd poured towards the exit through a staircase leading from the basement, creating a situation of heavy congestion. A former Constellation customer, interviewed by Blick, said he had already had the feeling that an evacuation would be problematic. ""I remember thinking: If panic breaks out, how will we get out?"" he said, noting that the basement level had only one entrance, which also served as an escape route. Authorities are now investigating to determine the exact cause of the fire and verify the premises' compliance with safety regulations. The survivors - ""They were fireworks placed in a champagne bottle. The explosion set the entire ceiling of the room ablaze,"" Victoria told French broadcaster BFMTV. According to the young woman, within moments the air became unbreathable. ""All the windows were black, opaque with smoke. You couldn't see anything anymore."" The lower level of the venue, Victoria reports, was particularly cramped. ""Some people started breaking the windows to let in air."" She is convinced that many of the victims suffocated. ""I'm still shaking. Many people were crying as they left. It was a real mass escape."" Adrien was also in the restaurant when the fire broke out.

The government of India / local players do not spend large sums of money on R&D as a whole which is why R&D output in its totality is low. The word ""stronger"" in this context refers to the position each sector (R&D and Manufacturing) is in currently compared to the ambition of India. Manufacturing requires various other inputs and industries to be setup for any meaningful output even if the workers themselves can be of low-medium skilled. This infrastructure spend therefore is mostly a function of political willpower and necessary capital allocation. R&D is different because even if you throw money at the wall, if you don't have local high-skilled talent, it's not going to work and upskilling millions of people to partake in bleeding edge research is a significantly longer project requiring a unified policy plan across multiple governments vs setting up infrastructure for manufacturing output increase. In that sense, India's R&D sector is stronger because the key hurdle of local talent is already cleared. It just needs the right monetary incentives to be viable for local players. As for your claim that ""everyone knows that the foreign centers are for doing the menial work"" - this statement, if anything, reflects the older mentality of treating offshoring in India as simple back offices for labour arbitrage. Sure, it started off that way in the 90s and early 2000s but today the value proposition isn't simple labour arbitrage anymore. The GCCs are part of a globalized R&D network. From AI to Semiconductor designs - All of big companies have integrated Indian R&D centers in their core R&D pipeline to varying level which is only increasing in their commitment and value add as time goes on. Here are some examples since I'm sure you'll be keenly interested in this statement. * [Intel stating India is their largest R&D presence outside US, contributing to SoC Design, 5G, Graphics, Data Center, AI, and so on. ](https://intel.wd1.myworkdayjobs.com/External/page/385e15908e0110015685c55415990005) * [AMD stating their R&D in India involves CPU designs, GPUs, SoC, FPGA, 3D Stacking, AI, and so on. ](https://www.amd.com/en/newsroom/press-releases/2023-11-27-amd-inaugurates-its-largest-global-design-center-in-india.html) Nvidia too has chip design presence as well as AI research presence in India, as do most companies. They are not doing *""menial tasks while real work happens outside""*. It is on par with USA or China? Of course not, but no one has claimed their either, but it clearly shows that the view that India is back office of the world for labour arbitrage is a dated view which is not getting any younger. As I've stated, the hurdle with local players is that they don't have the deep pockets to attract the highly skilled R&D talent that foreign players such as Intel, AMD, Nvidia can attract - thus they need right monetary incentives but the main hurdle or cultivating such local talent in the first place is a *relative*ly solved issue.","This [link](https://data.worldbank.org/indicator/GB.XPD.RSDV.GD.ZS?locations=IN) tells me Indian expenditure on R&D is less than 1% of its GDP. Any source for your claim that Indian R&D is stronger than manufacturing? On what basis can you compare manufacturing vs R&D? How is one stronger than the other? How do you define “stronger?” What really does happen in these foreign R&D centres? Everybody knows that the foreign centres are for doing the menial work and the real work happens outside.

This is the story of a Crans-Montana resident who, on New Year's Eve, experienced firsthand the tragedy of the fire that broke out at the Le Constellation bar, costing dozens of lives. ""In a matter of seconds, the carefree atmosphere vanished,"" the woman told the newspaper 24heures. ""We were at a party with friends, there was music playing and people toasting. Suddenly, my daughter called me and shouted, 'Mom, it's terrible, there's a fire at the Constellation. There are people dead.'"" The woman rushed into the street. ""The Rue Centrale was already blocked off by the police. In the distance, sirens could be heard. Around me, people were incredulous, worried, silent."" Another resident said he had heard helicopters all night. ""At first, with the fireworks, we didn't understand what was happening. Then we saw the smoke. It's terrible: that bar was frequented mostly by young people."" Possible cause of the fire: fireworks on bottles - According to the account of a young man who was inside the establishment and spoke to the 24heures portal, the fire was apparently started by fireworks attached to champagne bottles, which caught fire upon contact with the ceiling. This incident reportedly sparked panic among customers. According to his testimony, confirmed by another person present, the crowd poured towards the exit through a staircase leading from the basement, creating a situation of heavy congestion. A former Constellation customer, interviewed by Blick, said he had already had the feeling that an evacuation would be problematic. ""I remember thinking: If panic breaks out, how will we get out?"" he said, noting that the basement level had only one entrance, which also served as an escape route. Authorities are now investigating to determine the exact cause of the fire and verify the premises' compliance with safety regulations. The survivors - ""They were fireworks placed in a champagne bottle. The explosion set the entire ceiling of the room ablaze,"" Victoria told French broadcaster BFMTV. According to the young woman, within moments the air became unbreathable. ""All the windows were black, opaque with smoke. You couldn't see anything anymore."" The lower level of the venue, Victoria reports, was particularly cramped. ""Some people started breaking the windows to let in air."" She is convinced that many of the victims suffocated. ""I'm still shaking. Many people were crying as they left. It was a real mass escape."" Adrien was also in the restaurant when the fire broke out. ""We saw people smashing windows, running and screaming. Their parents were driving up at full speed.

But this now seems likely. It’s astounding the effects we’ve seen from that. Hamas and Gaza reduced to rubble. Hezbollah decimated and decapitated. Assad fallen. Shia militias in Iraq blunted. An international coalition willing to strike the Houthis. Strikes within Iran itself utterly destroying their AD capability. US strikes in Iran itself destroying and degrading their nuclear enrichment and storage capabilities. Truly, it seems we see the final fruits of the regime’s efforts which they began in the 1980s coming to bear, and they are a poor crop of sour fruit indeed. At every turn the regime has chosen the wrong path. May the people finally win their freedom.","Syria was a major project for Iran. All of their efforts in terms of money and even casualties they and affiliated militias suffered to keep Assad in power only prolonged Assad's regime by a couple of years. Make no mistake, it's quite a blunder for a regional power like Iran to expend so much of it's soft power on what objective and then having nothing to show for it. Iranians suffer poor economic prospects and having a passport that's not all that useful due to Iran's militaristic attitude and Iran justifies this to their people by arguing it's necessary to destroy Israel and protect the Shia population both inside and outside of Iran. The regime having nothing tangible to show as their accomplishments just makes everything worse as the result is that making Iran an international pariah has done nothing to help the global Shia population and Israel is in an even stronger position than it was 10 years ago. Also, Syria is just one piece of this. Hezbollah is an international project that Iran has been working on since the 1980's, and it's unclear if it's even going to survive over the course of the next decade. Right now it's extremely weakened, and Israel is no longer afraid of continually striking Lebanon and the prospect of Hezbollah's missile force is no longer something that pauses Israel from going too far in responding to Hezbollah. And, they are quite resolute in making sure Hezbollah doesn't have the ability to even rebuild back to what it had just a few years ago and the supply lines between Iran and Lebanon without Assad are much worse. The Houthis and the Iraqi militias remain the aspect of Iran's foreign that are not as badly damaged, but even they haven't gone unscathed. The Houthis have faced repeated attacks from US and Israel after attacking international shipping and lobbing missiles at Israel. There's been a handful of back and forths with Iraqi militias and US, but more importantly to Iraq has been diplomatic pressure on Iraq's government to rein them in. By rein them in either get the biggest militias to start disarming or formally incorporate them into their professional military.

Whatever else you’re saying about incentives for local players or talent is irrelevant. As far as what goes on in these R&D centres, none of the IP is owned by anybody in India. So basically, things are getting offshored here for cheap labour. In my mind, research is about redefining the state of the art and I’m not too sure if that’s what is happening in these centres.","Your provided link does not contradict what I've said but only adds to it. The government of India / local players do not spend large sums of money on R&D as a whole which is why R&D output in its totality is low. The word ""stronger"" in this context refers to the position each sector (R&D and Manufacturing) is in currently compared to the ambition of India. Manufacturing requires various other inputs and industries to be setup for any meaningful output even if the workers themselves can be of low-medium skilled. This infrastructure spend therefore is mostly a function of political willpower and necessary capital allocation. R&D is different because even if you throw money at the wall, if you don't have local high-skilled talent, it's not going to work and upskilling millions of people to partake in bleeding edge research is a significantly longer project requiring a unified policy plan across multiple governments vs setting up infrastructure for manufacturing output increase. In that sense, India's R&D sector is stronger because the key hurdle of local talent is already cleared. It just needs the right monetary incentives to be viable for local players. As for your claim that ""everyone knows that the foreign centers are for doing the menial work"" - this statement, if anything, reflects the older mentality of treating offshoring in India as simple back offices for labour arbitrage. Sure, it started off that way in the 90s and early 2000s but today the value proposition isn't simple labour arbitrage anymore. The GCCs are part of a globalized R&D network. From AI to Semiconductor designs - All of big companies have integrated Indian R&D centers in their core R&D pipeline to varying level which is only increasing in their commitment and value add as time goes on. Here are some examples since I'm sure you'll be keenly interested in this statement. * [Intel stating India is their largest R&D presence outside US, contributing to SoC Design, 5G, Graphics, Data Center, AI, and so on. ](https://intel.wd1.myworkdayjobs.com/External/page/385e15908e0110015685c55415990005) * [AMD stating their R&D in India involves CPU designs, GPUs, SoC, FPGA, 3D Stacking, AI, and so on. ](https://www.amd.com/en/newsroom/press-releases/2023-11-27-amd-inaugurates-its-largest-global-design-center-in-india.html) Nvidia too has chip design presence as well as AI research presence in India, as do most companies. They are not doing *""menial tasks while real work happens outside""*. It is on par with USA or China? Of course not, but no one has claimed their either, but it clearly shows that the view that India is back office of the world for labour arbitrage is a dated view which is not getting any younger. As I've stated, the hurdle with local players is that they don't have the deep pockets to attract the highly skilled R&D talent that foreign players such as Intel, AMD, Nvidia can attract - thus they need right monetary incentives but the main hurdle or cultivating such local talent in the first place is a *relative*ly solved issue.",,worldnews,dhaliman,AbideTheCold,1767277000,nx2y6n6,nx2u1bn,1q0f46j,-0.4,-0.4,-0.4,0,0,-0.4 Trump will bow to China like he does to Putin.

That's the ambition. You asked for an explanation of what it means and I merely provided it. It's okay if it doesn't make sense to you, or you disagree with my statement. Despite your agreement or non-agreement with my definition, the fact still remains that kickstarting R&D in a multi-generation project that involves focus start from the formative years of schooling to higher education turning people in a high-skilled worker, to the overall business environment that such high-skilled workers then operate in compared to Manufacturing which is essentially just political will and capital allocation - cheap low skilled workers are readily available. With this view, India has already created a high-skilled workforce that can engage in R&D. It does not need to reinvent the wheel and wait 20+ plus years for high-skilled workers to show up. They are already here. It just needs to work on the last step of creating a conducive business environment that emphasizes R&D by local players and therefore I disagree with your take about incentives for local players being irrelevant. This puts R&D on a stronger footing compared to scaling manufacturing outputs and as demonstrated by the given examples - in some sectors India is already contributing to the bleeding edge. As for the IP ownership - I would like you draw your attention to my original comment that you have so conveniently forgotten where I've explicitly stated that the ***problem*** with Indian R&D is that it is done by foreign companies. Everyone is aware that despite the existence of talent, if it is not put to use by local industry but only by foreign companies then none of the resultant IP is in Indian possession, hence the problem. This is where the incentive parts become more critical. Incentivizing local companies to tap into this existing high-skilled R&D talent will ensure that the IP stays in Indian possession too which is the next logical step for Indian R&D sector. Glimpses of this is starting to show up in Pharma sector for instance. I think your definition of offshoring is conflating cheap labour with practice of labour arbitrage. R&D being offshored to India is indeed cheaper for the companies because despite such high-skilled employees making a bank in India, it is still cheaper than western compensation yet its not simple labour arbitrage which is dictated solely by where labour is the cheapest. Call centers for instance is an example of labour arbitrage where you can pack up your operations and leave for a cheaper still labour force the moment average salary picks up. Labour arbitrage is always a race to the bottom, to the cheapest labour force, and therefore not really a long-term prospect of growth for any economy. Offshoring R&D is different from this because it is not merely about cheaper salaries but demands the prerequisite of high-skilled talent which isn't available everywhere in the world and this is a competitive advantage that an economy can rely upon. Companies such as Intel, Nvidia, AMD cannot simply pack up their Indian operation because (for instance) Nigeria may offer even cheaper labour when it fundamentally lacks the quantity of high-skilled R&D capable labour - so I fundamentally disagree on your take that paints Indian operations as simple labour arbitrage performing menial tasks that don't require high-skilled labour while the real work is done somewhere else. Unless you're privy to confidential R&D information such as work split between different R&D centers around the world, the value add of their R&D in the ultimate product and so on, you would have to take the company's public statement at face value which (as linked in previous comment) indicates that bleeding edge of tech is being developed in India. That is redefinition the state of the art by its very nature.","Stronger in the context of ambition of India? What does this even mean? R&D is stronger than manufacturing in the context of India’s ambition? You’ve lost me, this makes no sense. Look, fact is that India’s R&D is quite low and despite the governments focus on manufacturing, the contribution to GDP hasn’t really improved. There’s an article by the print about this. Whatever else you’re saying about incentives for local players or talent is irrelevant. As far as what goes on in these R&D centres, none of the IP is owned by anybody in India. So basically, things are getting offshored here for cheap labour.

I also question how unifying it would be for Europe, I think there would be a lot of soft moves but I'm doubtful even Denmark would be willing to enter into a hot war for Greenland, it'd tarnish the US reputation for sure, and the EU would likely sanction the US and impose other soft measures, but I don't think anyone would pick up a weapon to fight.","I think you'd get the majority of the EU on your side as well, if boots were put on the ground... Mind you, I'm just pointing out that fighting for your homes would be unifying and I also suspect it would be incredibly unpopular in the USA, leading to resistance movements in the USA. I hesitate to say that the USA would win or the Nordics would win (though I think Nordics have the winter side advantage). I say this because, everyone thought Russia would walk over Ukraine. While I believe the US is much better at specific logistics that Russia isn't, supply networks are important for wars and I do not think the USA has the advantage in the arctic.

I understand your perspective now and I don’t disagree with you. However, I still support my initial sentiment about off shoring. While a lot of tech work is happening in India, not much of it is its own. India should have its own initiatives that lead to Indian AMD, Intel or Nvidia. This isn’t just about financial incentives for the private sector but policy of the government. China has spent enormously on R&D in the last few decades and not across generations but a generation or two. Of course, some of India’s R&D has produced worthwhile results but it needs to do more if it does aspire to be an economic powerhouse.","The ambition of India being self-sufficient and net exporter in Manufacturing and R&D that goes into the products that are being manufactured, not being critically reliant on foreign powers and thus being beholden to their whims. That's the ambition. You asked for an explanation of what it means and I merely provided it. It's okay if it doesn't make sense to you, or you disagree with my statement. Despite your agreement or non-agreement with my definition, the fact still remains that kickstarting R&D in a multi-generation project that involves focus start from the formative years of schooling to higher education turning people in a high-skilled worker, to the overall business environment that such high-skilled workers then operate in compared to Manufacturing which is essentially just political will and capital allocation - cheap low skilled workers are readily available. With this view, India has already created a high-skilled workforce that can engage in R&D. It does not need to reinvent the wheel and wait 20+ plus years for high-skilled workers to show up. They are already here. It just needs to work on the last step of creating a conducive business environment that emphasizes R&D by local players and therefore I disagree with your take about incentives for local players being irrelevant. This puts R&D on a stronger footing compared to scaling manufacturing outputs and as demonstrated by the given examples - in some sectors India is already contributing to the bleeding edge. As for the IP ownership - I would like you draw your attention to my original comment that you have so conveniently forgotten where I've explicitly stated that the ***problem*** with Indian R&D is that it is done by foreign companies. Everyone is aware that despite the existence of talent, if it is not put to use by local industry but only by foreign companies then none of the resultant IP is in Indian possession, hence the problem. This is where the incentive parts become more critical. Incentivizing local companies to tap into this existing high-skilled R&D talent will ensure that the IP stays in Indian possession too which is the next logical step for Indian R&D sector. Glimpses of this is starting to show up in Pharma sector for instance. I think your definition of offshoring is conflating cheap labour with practice of labour arbitrage. R&D being offshored to India is indeed cheaper for the companies because despite such high-skilled employees making a bank in India, it is still cheaper than western compensation yet its not simple labour arbitrage which is dictated solely by where labour is the cheapest. Call centers for instance is an example of labour arbitrage where you can pack up your operations and leave for a cheaper still labour force the moment average salary picks up. Labour arbitrage is always a race to the bottom, to the cheapest labour force, and therefore not really a long-term prospect of growth for any economy. Offshoring R&D is different from this because it is not merely about cheaper salaries but demands the prerequisite of high-skilled talent which isn't available everywhere in the world and this is a competitive advantage that an economy can rely upon. Companies such as Intel, Nvidia, AMD cannot simply pack up their Indian operation because (for instance) Nigeria may offer even cheaper labour when it fundamentally lacks the quantity of high-skilled R&D capable labour - so I fundamentally disagree on your take that paints Indian operations as simple labour arbitrage performing menial tasks that don't require high-skilled labour while the real work is done somewhere else. Unless you're privy to confidential R&D information such as work split between different R&D centers around the world, the value add of their R&D in the ultimate product and so on, you would have to take the company's public statement at face value which (as linked in previous comment) indicates that bleeding edge of tech is being developed in India.

The former implies the existence of ready to go human resources while the latter implies that the country itself is incapable of bleeding edge research. I disagree with the latter in case of India. That is not to say that all of offshoring to India is High-Skilled Talent offshoring, but it's an increasing part of the overall offshoring. In my view, Indian businesses are too risk averse or just poor to undertake R&D locally despite having access to local high-skilled labour to do it. Incentives by the government such as grants to companies for critical sectors, safety nets, etc. shall therefore help kick start this process. Needless to say, these incentives are only part of overall Government Policy, but a crucial part nonetheless. Only then an Indian equivalent of these companies shall be given an opportunity to rise. But I digress, my original point was about R&D sector being in better shape than manufacturing and it rests on the idea human-capital is much harder to obtain and scale, requiring extremely long-term planning and this human-capital already exists in meaningful quantity in India, though of course there still is scope for improvement. Always will be. The hardest part for scaling R&D is therefore mostly in the rear-view mirror while the hardest part of scaling manufacturing (actually building infrastructure and policy reforms) is still ahead.

The aim here isn't necessarily even to \*actually annex\* Greenland (or Canada, or whereever), it's to raise the possibility as a way of driving a wedge between the US and its traditional allies, to break up NATO and the ANZAC-Canada-US-EU alliance. Trump is narcissistically delusional and dementing, and surrounded by equally sick people, so he might even believe he can do all this, and try. However, he's being manipulated by Putin one way or another, and this is all part of the plan: Brexit, attain the Ukraine then Baltic states, isolate the US, and leave Germany in leadership of a small EU military-political alliance in Northern and Western Europe. Despite the dominant media narrative in the US, no one exonerated Trump of involvement with Russia, and everything publicly known about him suggests he's under the control of Russia. Even if he's not being blackmailed or bribed, he's under their sway one way or another and this is why. The diabolical thing about this is all it has to do is create enough animosity to drive apart allies politically. Nothing has to reflect a majority of what the public wants, or some broader sentiment about allies, it can be maximally divisive within the country, it doesn't matter. It just has to create internal fighting, animosity, resentment, stereotypes etc. All Russia wants in the end is for NATO to split apart because its constituent countries all think they hate each other.","I don’t even understand this.  I haven’t been following the story, but why does Trump think he can just annex a foreign land, and also why does he care so much about it? ",US seeks unpaid local interns at Greenland consulate as annexation threats loom,worldnews,QuirkyBreadfruit,BrownDog42069,1767284940,nx3kp7v,nx2xwmb,1q13win,0.6000000000000001,0.6000000000000001,-0.2,0.6000000000000001,0,0.2 "Postal service is not a ""luxury""",For what you get is pretty cheap.

Since I am lazy I will just paste the AI answer. Yes, European countries set their own fire safety laws, but they often align with broader European standards and directives (like Eurocodes and EN classifications) for materials and testing, creating a mix of national rules with a harmonized baseline for things like fire resistance and escape routes, with implementation varying by country. National Autonomy with European Influence Member States Decide: The European Commission acknowledges that individual EU nations remain responsible for setting and enforcing the specific level of fire safety in their buildings. Harmonized Standards: The EU provides common testing standards (like EN 13501 for materials or EN 1634-1 for fire doors) and design references (Eurocodes) that member states integrate into their own laws. National Implementation: Each country then decides what performance level (e.g., how fire-resistant a material must be for a specific use) is acceptable, leading to diverse national building codes. Examples of National Differences Germany: Fire safety plans for buildings over 7m must be approved by experts, with federal states (Länder) adapting a model code (Musterbauordnung). France: Requires specific safety commissions (commissions de sécurité) with certified members to sign off on fire installations in public/high-rise buildings, notes. Netherlands: Focuses on later design stages, with local authorities overseeing owner responsibility for ongoing management, notes. UK (pre-Building Safety Act): Historically more prescriptive than some EU nations, with devolved regulations for Scotland, notes. In essence, while there's a common European framework for how to test and classify fire performance, the rules on what's required for a specific building remain a national responsibility, leading to diverse, country-specific regulations",">Also, not sure what Europe's codes are.

Because for some dumb reason not only the Polish had it abandoned whilst negotiations dragged on until 2025 during which Poland would have already had a 7-wheeled version of the K2PL, but corrupt Right-winger politicians rushed all purchases without proper negotiations for offset, logistics, ammunition, training, maintenance, storage and factories taking place at right price, instead we just took huge loans and then bought naked equipment with next government being left to inherit and attempt fixing the purchases on their own, fully equip it at twice the cost, and failed, leading to us going 60% public debt into a recession. First case in point, FA-50 fighter jet, purchased by Right-wingers as a South Korean salesman pitch, assuming that it'd act as seat-swap interceptor from the F-16 with only a few changes, to replace MiG-29, only to buy it without flight training software, flight simulators, American missiles and radars integrated already, and no cannon ammunition/contractor for up-to-date arming the jets to top it all off. Second case in point, M1A2 SEPV3 Abrams tanks, 70+ ton gas-guzzling monsters unfit for Polish infrastructure with no modifications for bridges secured, and heavy over-reliance for rail transport, purchased naked without RWS stations, Trophy APS, Depleted Uranium armor and ammunition which Błaszczak had ""promised soon"" to locally manufacture but never did, and no domestic maintenance, which means Honeywell AGT1500 turbine engines need to be sent to America for overhauls and repairs.","u/Lil-sh_t Sounds like we have ourselves a keyboard nationalist here.

Polish and foreign misinformed keyboard nationalists have been going around harassing anyone who disagrees with the propaganda of success and news media tabloids, framing them as ""jealous Germans"" or a ""Russian bot"" for criticizing the modernization of the Polish military, similar to how Bush-supporting racists called anyone opposed to the 2003 Iraq Invasion as well as Bush's failure to stop the 9/11 attacks a ""Frenchman"". Our current strategy is just: ""continue the improper procurement of equipment without logistics and negotiation from the previous government made from political and propaganda decisions for populistic needs, keep making cannon fodder and wait for our allies to rescue us."" Or elaborately: Conscripts/reservists shaved forcefully as cannon-fodder led by Soviet-minded officers, logistical mess of equipment from different nations, under-equipped, under-manned, under-trained, under-gunned, poor logistical system and outdated doctrine, with some under-produced serial vehicles and just a few prototypes to hold the line.

Not to mention decades of neglect from past governments, military purchases by Right-wingers for mostly political reasons and no strategic considerations without negotiating for offset and logistics then leaving next government to fix it which fails to do so, our military still functioning in peacetime which is seen in how we conduct exercises and how procedures work, most of the military going for staff roles (which means there's no one to train pilots, tank crew, artillerymen, engineers, supply truck drivers, etc. to keep it all working) and having only 30,000 active troops to deploy at any given time. Błaszczak, Macierewicz and previous Right-wing government crew need to be held responsible for sabotaging the Polish Armed Forces during their rule. They go on a reckless purchasing spree in South Korea and America, to get Poland as much stuff for as cheap and quickly as possible, take on huge loans to buy dozen single pieces of naked equipment, without prior negotiation for offset, logistics, training, ammunition and maintenance, without much hardware fully integrated already. The next government is left to inherit and attempt fixing the purchases on their own, buy it all separately to finish equipping it which should have been done at negotiating stage, now at far higher cost than our economy can handle and fails to adjust our military purchases, sending us 60% public debt into a recession.

The result is an overpriced $13M dollar per vehicle IFV who's planned order for 1,400 vehicles would have cost us $18,2 Billion USD in money we don't have, taken far longer to produce with first order for 111 vehicles $1,7B USD in total taking place from 2029-2035 and further ones way past until Russia invaded, and put a further strain on the economy. My theory why Błaszczak and his friends did this was because Right-wingers expected and feared a swift Russian invasion and that Ukraine would fall in a matter of days, and that Poland's next, so they gave away all our modernized T-72's and other equipment that the mechanized infantry was still using and needed for itself, to Ukraine, and then went on a reckless purchasing spree in South Korea and America, to get Poland as much cheap stuff as quickly as possible to make us end up like Belka from Ace Combat: Zero, with 7 nuclear warheads on the Vistula, once the fight turns into a desperate conscription-squad style defensive war, politicians and rich flee the country just like in 1939, the infrastructure gets razed by relentless bombardment from drones, cruise missiles, artillery and close air support with ammunition for just 5 days of combat, and Polish forces set fire to buildings and facilities during their retreat, with only local authorities and non-senior military officers left to surrender. In short, the Right-wing politicians wanted for the world to end quickly, so that they could abandon us to die for it, paint this image of sacrifice for propaganda, but in actuality, their intention was just turning Poland into a battlefield for NATO and Russia, if nothing more than a little speed bump. Last time during a military exercise with Americans, Poland managed to pull out just enough ammunition to last us only for hours of fighting, to give you the idea how screwed we are. Go ahead, call me a ""Russian bot"", or a ""jealous German"", just like those Bush-supporting racists who called anyone opposed to the 2003 Iraq Invasion as well as Bush's failure to stop the 9/11 attacks a ""Frenchman"", for believing our fake military purchases and Maginot-style obstacle lines of barbed wire and dragons-teeth and other fantasy projects like the ""Eastern Shield"" won't be enough for stopping the Russian invasion for which Poland's not even ready, i don't care no more, since Russia will just endlessly hammer us from the air with airstrikes, drone strikes, cruise and ballistic missile strikes, since Poland has no proper system of population defense in place and Russia will overrun us before NATO will have time to fly in sizeable brigades which are mostly just tripwire forces anyway which have no strength to last in the artillery siege warfare doctrine like how Russia fights in Ukraine. Poland is unprepared for a slaughter unlike anything that happened before it, here it will be gloves-off for Russia, it won't do the same coup d'etat-style mechanized-column drive-in's like during the 2022 Initial Russian Invasion of Ukraine, similar to the 1968 Warsaw Pact Invasion of Czechoslovakia, 1979 Soviet Invasion of Afghanistan, 1994 Russian Invasion of Chechnya, 2008 Georgian War and 2014 Annexation of Crimea that came before it. Russia may storm overland, to sever the link with Lithuania from the Suwałki Gap, cut through vital roads and communication hubs, render airports and military airbases useless for operations with failure of Polish SAM defense to keep up which also causes population centers and power grids to get levelled into submission, drive command and control into chaos, make Polish citizens unable to evacuate from sheer lack of implementing plans which means every man for himself and refugees start to clog roads hindering military advance, whilst Poland is doing mostly call-up's of 30-60 year-old with similar desperate cannon fodder methods no different from Ukraine's busification if war starts which means Poland won't have time to establish lines of resistance due to lack of training or experience of training on weapons no longer in arsenal.","We started running low on money to the extent we can no longer give F-16's anti-radar paint, and can't purchase brand-new AIM-120D-3 missiles for our F-35A jets we still don't have.

What might make the difference this time are the recent Israeli strikes on Iran during the recent Twelve-Day War. It is apparent that in addition to striking Iran's nuclear weapons program, regime change was at least a secondary objective for Israel. Of course, this was not something that would happen during the bombing campaign. However, Israel knows that Iran has a history of internal instability, and the hope was that the next episode would topple or at least cripple the Islamic Republic. This is why in addition to hitting nuclear sites, Israel also spent a great amount of effort in degrading Iran's internal security capabilities. If this wave of protests is to topple the Islamic Republic, it would likely require the assistance of Iran's regular military. For those who may be unaware, Iran has two parallel militaries; the conventional armed forces (Artesh), and the Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps (IRGC), which was formed after the Islamic Revolution since the new Islamic government didn't trust the loyalty of the old military. During the Israeli bombardment campaign, Israel mostly left the conventional forces untouched while heavily hitting the IRGC. Whether the conventional military is actually disloyal enough to launch a coup is questionable. Another question is whether they even possess the ability to succeed in a coup, given that the Iranian government has deliberately underfunded them for some time. What we do know is that this is what the Islamic Republic fears the most. More than Israel or the United States, the Iranian government views its own people as its greatest threat. This is why Iran has mostly left its hijab laws unenforced recently; it doesn't want to provoke another wave of Mahsa Amini protests. In fact, this may also be why Iran performed so poorly against Israel; its military is more dedicated to suppressing internal revolts than fighting against any external threat. And now the moment that they have dreaded has finally arrived. Keep in mind this is mostly speculative. As I mentioned in my opening paragraph, the Iranian government will likely survive these protests, as they have previous waves. The most likely scenario is that Iran will have to make serious concessions to the protesters, and that the Islamic Republic will be left in its weakest state since the Revolution.","What are the chances that this time it's for real?

This is the story of a Crans-Montana resident who, on New Year's Eve, experienced firsthand the tragedy of the fire that broke out at the Le Constellation bar, costing dozens of lives. ""In a matter of seconds, the carefree atmosphere vanished,"" the woman told the newspaper 24heures. ""We were at a party with friends, there was music playing and people toasting. Suddenly, my daughter called me and shouted, 'Mom, it's terrible, there's a fire at the Constellation. There are people dead.'"" The woman rushed into the street. ""The Rue Centrale was already blocked off by the police. In the distance, sirens could be heard. Around me, people were incredulous, worried, silent."" Another resident said he had heard helicopters all night. ""At first, with the fireworks, we didn't understand what was happening. Then we saw the smoke. It's terrible: that bar was frequented mostly by young people."" Possible cause of the fire: fireworks on bottles - According to the account of a young man who was inside the establishment and spoke to the 24heures portal, the fire was apparently started by fireworks attached to champagne bottles, which caught fire upon contact with the ceiling. This incident reportedly sparked panic among customers. According to his testimony, confirmed by another person present, the crowd poured towards the exit through a staircase leading from the basement, creating a situation of heavy congestion. A former Constellation customer, interviewed by Blick, said he had already had the feeling that an evacuation would be problematic. ""I remember thinking: If panic breaks out, how will we get out?"" he said, noting that the basement level had only one entrance, which also served as an escape route. Authorities are now investigating to determine the exact cause of the fire and verify the premises' compliance with safety regulations. The survivors - ""They were fireworks placed in a champagne bottle. The explosion set the entire ceiling of the room ablaze,"" Victoria told French broadcaster BFMTV. According to the young woman, within moments the air became unbreathable. ""All the windows were black, opaque with smoke. You couldn't see anything anymore."" The lower level of the venue, Victoria reports, was particularly cramped. ""Some people started breaking the windows to let in air."" She is convinced that many of the victims suffocated. ""I'm still shaking. Many people were crying as they left. It was a real mass escape."" Adrien was also in the restaurant when the fire broke out.

This latest wave of protest will surely have more dead protesters. More grieving families willing to sell information and help Israel. If the people cannot topple the Islamic Republic, the 2nd Israel/Iran war will have more IRGC members dead. The iranian people will make sure of it.","Given the fact that the most recent protests in Iran didn't change much, this current protest is unlikely to be successful as well. What might make the difference this time are the recent Israeli strikes on Iran during the recent Twelve-Day War. It is apparent that in addition to striking Iran's nuclear weapons program, regime change was at least a secondary objective for Israel. Of course, this was not something that would happen during the bombing campaign. However, Israel knows that Iran has a history of internal instability, and the hope was that the next episode would topple or at least cripple the Islamic Republic. This is why in addition to hitting nuclear sites, Israel also spent a great amount of effort in degrading Iran's internal security capabilities. If this wave of protests is to topple the Islamic Republic, it would likely require the assistance of Iran's regular military. For those who may be unaware, Iran has two parallel militaries; the conventional armed forces (Artesh), and the Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps (IRGC), which was formed after the Islamic Revolution since the new Islamic government didn't trust the loyalty of the old military. During the Israeli bombardment campaign, Israel mostly left the conventional forces untouched while heavily hitting the IRGC. Whether the conventional military is actually disloyal enough to launch a coup is questionable. Another question is whether they even possess the ability to succeed in a coup, given that the Iranian government has deliberately underfunded them for some time. What we do know is that this is what the Islamic Republic fears the most. More than Israel or the United States, the Iranian government views its own people as its greatest threat. This is why Iran has mostly left its hijab laws unenforced recently; it doesn't want to provoke another wave of Mahsa Amini protests. In fact, this may also be why Iran performed so poorly against Israel; its military is more dedicated to suppressing internal revolts than fighting against any external threat. And now the moment that they have dreaded has finally arrived. Keep in mind this is mostly speculative. As I mentioned in my opening paragraph, the Iranian government will likely survive these protests, as they have previous waves. The most likely scenario is that Iran will have to make serious concessions to the protesters, and that the Islamic Republic will be left in its weakest state since the Revolution.",Several reported killed in Iran protests over economic woes,worldnews,Dangerous-Cry1785,MetricTrout,1767292247,nx48hd8,nx3wfzy,1q169m0,0.2,-0.2,-0.2,-0.4,-0.2,-0.4 "Bolsonaro has not been defeated.

For example, in Sudan, while the UAE doesn't officially back the RSF, it's known that they do. This is the same RSF that only a few months ago killed as many people as Israel killed in Gaza (including Hamas Fighters, if Israel is to be believed) over two years. The RSF matched that number in a week, in a city half the size of Gaza, if we were to use the lower bound of the estimate of deaths. In addition to this, 150,000 are still missing from this massacre of civilians which happened at Al-Fashir, many of whom are probably dead. Around 400,000 Civilians in total have faced violent deaths in Sudan due to a War began by the RSF, and more than half a million toddlers under the age of 2 have died of starvation. Sudan's war is the deadliest war ongoing today, with mass atrocities being committed especially by the RSF (as I mentioned, Al-Fashir), who are backed by the UAE. The RSF is run by Muhammad Hamdan Dagalo, also called Hemedti, a Client Warlord of the UAE, who's main source of income comes from smuggling Sudanese Gold, invariably via the UAE and through the Dubai Gold Market. The RSF is also the UAE's most valuable client, as they can offer the UAE skilled and experienced Mercenaries (used by the UAE in both Yemen and Libya), Gold, Agricultural Produce (mainly Cattle but also Gum Arabic, used in Pharmaceuticals, Foodstuffs, Cosmetics, Glues, and such, and Grains such as Sorghum, and had they captured the Nile Cotton), Power Projection (Sudan is an optimal point to project power into the Red Sea, Egypt, the Horn, the Sahara, and the rest of the Nile Basin), and such. Meanwhile, the UAE also joined the International Coalition backing Libyan-American General Khalifa Haftar, who fought the Internationally Recognized Muslim Brotherhood-led Government. Haftar commanded an extensive Militia network, supplemented by both the Wagner Group (now the Africa Corps) and Emirati Finance and Logistics. This includes 150 planeloads of arms being flown into Haftar's territories during the Covid 19 Pandemic, according to the Middle East Eye.

For example, in Sudan, while the UAE doesn't officially back the RSF, it's known that they do. This is the same RSF that only a few months ago killed as many people as Israel killed in Gaza (including Hamas Fighters, if Israel is to be believed) over two years. The RSF matched that number in a week, in a city half the size of Gaza, if we were to use the lower bound of the estimate of deaths. In addition to this, 150,000 are still missing from this massacre of civilians which happened at Al-Fashir, many of whom are probably dead. Around 400,000 Civilians in total have faced violent deaths in Sudan due to a War began by the RSF, and more than half a million toddlers under the age of 2 have died of starvation. Sudan's war is the deadliest war ongoing today, with mass atrocities being committed especially by the RSF (as I mentioned, Al-Fashir), who are backed by the UAE. The RSF is run by Muhammad Hamdan Dagalo, also called Hemedti, a Client Warlord of the UAE, who's main source of income comes from smuggling Sudanese Gold, invariably via the UAE and through the Dubai Gold Market. The RSF is also the UAE's most valuable client, as they can offer the UAE skilled and experienced Mercenaries (used by the UAE in both Yemen and Libya), Gold, Agricultural Produce (mainly Cattle but also Gum Arabic, used in Pharmaceuticals, Foodstuffs, Cosmetics, Glues, and such, and Grains such as Sorghum, and had they captured the Nile Cotton), Power Projection (Sudan is an optimal point to project power into the Red Sea, Egypt, the Horn, the Sahara, and the rest of the Nile Basin), and such. Meanwhile, the UAE also joined the International Coalition backing Libyan-American General Khalifa Haftar, who fought the Internationally Recognized Muslim Brotherhood-led Government. Haftar commanded an extensive Militia network, supplemented by both the Wagner Group (now the Africa Corps) and Emirati Finance and Logistics. This includes 150 planeloads of arms being flown into Haftar's territories during the Covid 19 Pandemic, according to the Middle East Eye.

I would like to say the RSF has committed what is by far the worst massacre of the 21st century, after besieging the town of Al-Fashir in Sudan. When they entered it late October of what is now last year, the RSF proceeded to massacre at least 70,000 of the towns inhabitants. To put that into perspective, thats the same amount that have died (according to Israel including Hamas fighters) in Gaza since 2023, and the RSF did that in a week. The RSF are the single worst example you could mention, they are the real terrorists in this conflict. Worse yet, they are Arab Ethnosupremacists, who have launched systematic killings of the Fur, Zaghawa, and Masalit populations of Darfur. The RSF also originates from the infamous Janjaweed Militias who perpetuated the 2003 Genocide in Darfur, which resulted in the deaths of 300,000 of the Fur, Zaghawa, and Masalit Populations, backed by that very same Islamic Fundamentalist Dictator Omar Al-Bashir. Their name should tell you all you need to know about them, as it is what was called when they would arrive in villages of the Fur, Zaghawa, and Masalit minorities. More accurately, it would be ""Al-Jinn Ja, weed"", meaning ""The Jinn (devil-like beings in Islam) come, flee"". Western media apparently started calling them ""Devils on Horseback"", and that became the translation of the name, but really it is what I said. Acting like the UAE really wants to oppose Islamist Fundamentalism is just kidding yourself, the UAE is really in it for profit. That profit comes from Sudan's Gold, Puntland securing Trade, and such, and above all else influence, allowing them to compete in this new Cold War that seems to be descending on the Middle East, North Africa, and the Horn, a four way Cold War between Iran, the UAE, Saudi Arabia, and Turkey. The whole ""Muslim Brotherhood"" thing is really just a front. The UAE has also directly helped in collapsing budding democracies in Sudan and Libya by backing the RSF and LNA respectively, directly leading to both nations's Civil Wars.

With the post-Soviet state crumbling under the drunken presidency of Boris Yeltsin, armed gangsters and Chechen terrorists posed deadly risks. So too did the unruly security services trying to tackle them. “There were roadblocks set up around town, where the street militia were quite capable of being violent if it suited them,” Dannenberg recalls. Adding to the chaos were disgruntled Russian intelligence officers, upset at their beloved KGB being dissolved. Within its replacement, the FSB, certain elements “weren’t under complete control,” Dannenberg explains. They were “capable of undertaking actions” without seeking permission from the Kremlin. “There were plenty of Russians who held a deep grudge, and still do to this day, about the collapse of the Soviet Union,” he says. One of them, was Vladimir Putin. Dannenberg remembers meeting the former KGB colonel during the first of his two stints in Moscow, in the mid-1990s. He shook hands with Putin, who was merely a government official at the time, during a reception at the US ambassador’s residence. Dannenberg returned for a second spell in the early 2000s when the CIA promoted him to Moscow station chief – the top US spy in Russia. He had “full access” to every piece of intelligence on the country sourced by the agency’s officers. By then, Putin was President. “Those of us who served in Moscow understood Putin maybe a little bit better early on than others did,” says the CIA veteran, speaking to The i Paper from his home in Colorado. When the Russian dictator annexed Crimea and occupied eastern Ukraine in 2014, then launched his full-scale war in 2022, “none of us were surprised”.

When the Russian dictator annexed Crimea and occupied eastern Ukraine in 2014, then launched his full-scale war in 2022, “none of us were surprised”. From the very start, Putin’s political ethos was about restoring state control, rebuilding the military and achieving mastery over other former Soviet republics. “Ukraine is the single most important element in that still unfulfilled part of Putin’s vision,” says Dannenberg. “I dealt with the KGB my entire life,” he adds. “I understand how this guy thinks.” It’s his knowledge of how Russian spies are trained to deceive and control people, sometimes without their victims realising, that makes him so concerned whenever he hears about Putin’s latest talks with Donald Trump. “Putin looks at Trump and sees a weak guy, vain, with huge ego,” says Dannenberg. He admits Trump is hardly the first US leader to have a big opinion of himself, but fears the current US President is “incredibly naive” and vulnerable to the Kremlin’s influence, as Putin seeks to further divide the US and Europe. Indeed, when Trump met with Volodymyr Zelensky for vital talks in Florida on Sunday night, it turned out that the US President had called Putin in advance. In a following press conference, Zelensky could scarcely contain his bewilderment when Trump declared that Putin “wants Ukraine to succeed”. And when Putin later claimed, with no evidence, that a Ukrainian drone had been aimed at his residence – which Kyiv has denied – Trump seemed to suggest he was wise not to provide Zelensky with Tomahawk cruise missiles. For critics like Dannenberg, these were just the latest examples of the American leader parroting what his Russian counterpart has told him. “He’s being manipulated, in the way that a good case officer like Putin would manipulate this guy. He’s not monogamous, he’s greedy, he’s fascinated by gold – all these are things that, if I were a case officer, I would be leveraging to get this guy to do what I want him to do. “When that happens to align with Trump’s ambition to get a Nobel Peace Prize, so much the easier, right?

In Japan/South Korea's case: the capture of Taiwan would allow China to monopolize the trade routes of maritime East Asia, and SK and Japan could potentially come under severe economic coercion that is a common feature of China's economic bullying in the region across the past 2 decades. Trying to cast the SK/Japanese as US vassals who will only come to Taiwan's aid ignores the individual agency of these wealthy and influential East Asian states and their strategic concerns. Unlike the US West Coast, China's east is filled with island countries wary of PRC military ambitions. China is largely unable to project militarily into the Pacific, unlike the US navy. The capture of Taiwan would allow a foothold for China to expand into the Pacific.","S. America and Africa won't get involved. Europe, SEA, and Australia may try to assist Taiwan in some capacity, but don't have the operational capacity to do much meaningful.

Korea and Japan will *likely* follow whatever lead the US sets, though China's been trying to appeal to them diplomatically, so can't say for sure. The US military/government has long been operating under the expectation that China will invade and the US will intervene with boots on the ground military force. Part of the the reason the US has been so hesitant with Ukraine, even under Biden, was because of an expectation that money, troops, and equipment would soon be needed in Asia. The Trump admin is full of people that despise China with every fiber of their being, so it's unlikely the US will pull support even under Trump. With all that said.

They would most likely be killed or treated very horribly if they did not fight. And due to their overwhelming advantage in training, tactics, and technology, the odds of dying in combat are much lower for an Israeli soldier than a soldier in an Iranian civil war. Though perhaps the secular side could get some external assistance from Israel and the U.S to give them an advantage as well. In think in the past, and to some degree now, the choice for secular Iranians is to either fight to overthrow the government and potentially die or to live a somewhat normal life where there is some oppression and a poor economy. Perhaps it would be different if young men were experiencing the bulk of the oppression rather than women. But I do think you have a point with how things are going for Iran more recently.

I remember being a senior in high school when the Station nightclub fire happened. It was right after the club in Chicago had that horrible stampede and people were basically crushed to death in the stair well. It was the year after 9/11, and both incidents were on the news for a good bit. People were like”So we aren’t as prepared as we should be,” because it was literally just a year after that attack and it was obviously still on the country’ s collective mind, as well as everyone just being overall concerned with emergency preparedness. I remember there was a scene from that nightclub where some poor young girl was being carried out, and the man holding her was frantic. The emergency personnel were not able to locate the exact location right away, if my memory serves. Granted it has been decades so I may be off, but it was freaking awful, and that much I can remember very well, years later. The Station fire was just right after that, and it was filmed because a local news agency was actually reporting on emergencies in a club environment or something like that. Then the fire happened, and that horrible, sad picture was made, with the people in the door. I made it a point to never actually watch that video. I got the idea, and knew overcrowding was an issue and was super paranoid about it. So in my twenties, I started working in Seoul. My coworkers and I would go to Itaewon for Halloween. The clubs and bars would be so crowded, you couldn’t move. I started thinking about that picture, from the Station club fire, and flipped out. I left. I am not overly worried about crowds, but that was ridiculous. I was absolutely so freaked out. Years after THAT, I turned on the tv and saw the news about a horrible crowd crush in Itaewon, on Halloween, and just started crying. I realized all the little kids I had taught in Korea would now be old enough to go out and party, and could have been there. It just absolutely broke my heart for those young people, and I had just had a baby myself and was super sensitive. I just remember sitting there and crying while I held my kid. We have to start holding these clubs and venues to a higher standard. This is an ongoing thing, and we all should know better know. There needs to always be multiple, clearly marked exits. People shouldn’t have to break windows and hope for the best. This stuff is absolutely terrifying.","I’ve done this ever since I learned about the Station nightclub a decade ago.

It must have been wild to see a place you knew and went to a lot on the news for such a tragedy. Some of the tiny cramped basement venues my friends and I used to go to in London were always packed, too. We had the Hillsborough Disaster happen here. I was too young at the time, but learning about it later made me so nervous in big crowds. I definitely went for a lot of “toilet breaks” in those crowded dance floors. There was also Grenfell which, it wasn’t a nightclub, but it was a residential block that burned up really fast due to the cladding. The people in charge of cutting corners on the cladding STILL haven’t been charged. They absolutely need to be held accountable.","Long story, but directly related to this. I remember being a senior in high school when the Station nightclub fire happened. It was right after the club in Chicago had that horrible stampede and people were basically crushed to death in the stair well. It was the year after 9/11, and both incidents were on the news for a good bit. People were like”So we aren’t as prepared as we should be,” because it was literally just a year after that attack and it was obviously still on the country’ s collective mind, as well as everyone just being overall concerned with emergency preparedness. I remember there was a scene from that nightclub where some poor young girl was being carried out, and the man holding her was frantic. The emergency personnel were not able to locate the exact location right away, if my memory serves. Granted it has been decades so I may be off, but it was freaking awful, and that much I can remember very well, years later. The Station fire was just right after that, and it was filmed because a local news agency was actually reporting on emergencies in a club environment or something like that. Then the fire happened, and that horrible, sad picture was made, with the people in the door. I made it a point to never actually watch that video. I got the idea, and knew overcrowding was an issue and was super paranoid about it. So in my twenties, I started working in Seoul. My coworkers and I would go to Itaewon for Halloween. The clubs and bars would be so crowded, you couldn’t move. I started thinking about that picture, from the Station club fire, and flipped out. I left. I am not overly worried about crowds, but that was ridiculous. I was absolutely so freaked out. Years after THAT, I turned on the tv and saw the news about a horrible crowd crush in Itaewon, on Halloween, and just started crying. I realized all the little kids I had taught in Korea would now be old enough to go out and party, and could have been there. It just absolutely broke my heart for those young people, and I had just had a baby myself and was super sensitive. I just remember sitting there and crying while I held my kid. We have to start holding these clubs and venues to a higher standard. This is an ongoing thing, and we all should know better know. There needs to always be multiple, clearly marked exits. People shouldn’t have to break windows and hope for the best. This stuff is absolutely terrifying.","Several dead and injured in explosion at Swiss ski resort towm, police say",worldnews,sadovsky,just-peepin-at-u,1767296429,nx4mjkd,nx4jpa9,1q0xzdq,0,0.6000000000000001,0.2,0.4,0.4,0.2 "No, because of fixed costs.

Both Yes and No. After WW2, the CCP managed to lift the majority of China out of extreme poverty, especially with Deng Xiaoping moving China into a ""socialist market economy"". China has lifted more than 850 million people out of extreme poverty since 1978. So CCP have shown they can work for the benefit of people (especially if they allow some civil liberties). The question is how you define a prosperous life. It might be very different for a young couple from the country side moving to Shanghai to work in food delivery for minimum pay, a gay man who has to live in secret with his sexuality or a rich family who lost everything in one of Xi Jing Ping's loyalty purges. During my visits in China, the hardline ""Taiwan must submit"" was mainly trumpeted out on media to drown out local news of governmental failures like school roof top collapse or children's milk with toxic melanin to increase protein level. Question 2: Does Taiwan have WMD? I hope not. It would be a massive drain of resources from an already strained economy. WMD as deterrent only works if your enemy acts rationally. China is more concerned about keeping face internally and maintaining control than worried about geopolitics, so your standard Game Theory model with Mutually Assured Destruction would not work with China. XJP would sacrifice a few large cities if it meant earning a victor's laurel for conquering Taiwan.","Two questions, if I may.

The line (mine at least, as I was an only child) ends with us. We're going to enjoy our life to the max. And we have many friends out age (late 30s, mid 40s) that do not have kids or want any. Sure this is anecdotal - but statistics are the same in all civilized countries - the better education, opportunities and options, the lower the birth rate.

As more farms become more automated, those jobs on the farm that small children can perform reasonably safely are no longer available. The ""free"" labor of a farm wife or a housewife is no longer available, so children are often sent to daycare and as such become a larger economic drain. This is offset in some more traditional societies, even as they become more economically advanced, by tight family networks. If there's an auntie or a grandma or a second cousin who will look after all of the extended family children at a much more nominal cost than official daycare, run for a profit, that frees up a lot of labor and capital for the extended family.

The trajectory of Iran at the global stage would have been much different if his coup was successful; Iran did not have expertise and knowhow to industrialize the way it did if Mossadegh had kicked investors out the way he had promised. Ultimately oil was nationalized under the shah in the 60's, but it was done so on Iran's terms and with the understanding that we would be able to take advantage of our oil reserves. If you want to look at key moments of how Iran ended up where it is now, look no further than 2 key things. 1) the anglo-soviet invasion of Iran in 1938 which led to nationwide famine and distrust of soviets and english that Iranians still hold to this day. 2) CIA contact and vetting of Khomeini to take over for the Shah in the years leading up to 1979 because Jimmy Carter did not see the Shah as an ally and believed he could form a ""green belt"" around the soviets to hold off communist influence in the region. Mossadegh was an appointed official in the event of the last PM being assassinated.

My wife grew up in a poor country with parents who had to scrape by, I've heard enough stories to know your argument is completely false. From what I can see, there are a few reasons for the phenomena of low birth rates in developed countries. The list below is by no means exhaustive. 1. Access to contraceptives. This is obviously a huge deal. 2. Sex education (and education in general). Women and men are both able to better consider the gravity of what it means to have kids. Not to mention, they know what to do to avoid having kids if they choose. This is a big one especially for preventing teen pregnancies, which is a big factor in how many kids someone may have. 3. Cost of having children. Even the best places for having kids (northern EU) are not giving parents a lifetime payout for children. Children are a net loss across the board in every developed country. There's also the opportunity cost. If you are having kids you are not progressing a career or going towards your personal goals. Going back to education, people may want to do things with their knowledge which would be prevented by having kids. Some people may want kids but feel they can't have them, even in developed countries. Another issue is kid's activities cost A LOT. In the past kids would run around and play with each other, and things in general were cheaper. Nowadays everything is monetized to the max. Every kid just isn't daycare for 5 years, it's paying for daycare, activities, college. It's really hard to reasonably support more than a few children with this massive financial burden. Even the best countries in the world for this still put a significant financial burden on parents who have kids. 4. Interactions between men and women are generally much reduced in modern society. You work, you go home, watch TV, make food, play a video game, watch a movie. You can do this all solo. If you want to meet someone of the opposite sex, it's often work and also often money to do so. These dating apps don't make it easy, either. In places like South Korea, the work/life balance is so bad that people who work don't even see their family. If we all lived like politicians, working 60 days a year and off the other 300, I think more of us would want children. 5. People are less bored.

The inside baseball is that the Presidential candidates need to be approved by the Ruling Council and the Supreme Leader. When they let a ""moderate"" run they are usually elected by the people because the people are generally more supportive of moderation than the regime. This has happened several times following periods of instability or anticipated instability. Ultimately, the President is still very much beholden to the Supreme Leader. However, the President is often used to signal moderation, advocate for moderation and essentially give the regime the space to make reforms without being seen as outwardly giving in to protest. In this instance, the President is seen as relatively moderate already. He is pretty clearly being used by the regime here to signal that the regime hears the protests. However, it can also be seen as a sign that the regime is very concerned. The Islamic Republic has survived a lot of student led movements, often with brutal repression and imprisonment. I don't think that they quite know what to do here because the impetus for this protest movement was not the students, it has been economic. You can't really effectively repress economic concerns. People might not be willing to take a beating for progressive ideals, but what's a beating if you can't feed your family? ...and there are people who are likely to join this protest movement that might not align with the general progressive nature of the student movements.

Some thoughts: > I'm saying that, in a very real world scenario, S Korea and Japan already rely on the US military for their own self-defense. Agreed on Japan, but Korea’s military industry is largely domestic, and has been a key exporter to countries like Poland. > There's just no world where they have anywhere near the tangible physical force projection to counteract an invasion of Taiwan without US backing. I think it depends on what kind of warfare is conducted. Europe has demonstrated itself militarily unwilling to enter into direct conflict with Russia, but it has engaged indirectly through military equipment, diplomatic and financial assistance to Ukraine. The same is likely true of Taiwan: S Korea and Japan would only deepen its alliances in the West and in Southeast Asia against an expansionary Chinese state, with similarly indirect strategies of warfare against Chinese incursion. This is likely true even without US backing, for the economic and military threat a Taiwan invasion poses is near-existential to the continued wealth and survival of these two countries. Just my two cents from armchair diplomat to another.","I'm not ignoring the importance of Taiwan. To clarify, I'm explicitly arguing that the resources available to China's military dwarf the resources available to the militaries that would otherwise oppose them, and we have every reason to believe those resources have been spent in the right places to ensure China's military is a modern and competent fighting force. And I don't think S Korea or Japan would throw precious military resources away on a truly lost cause, no matter how important that cause would otherwise be. It makes for a good movie, but it doesn't make for good strategy. I'm also very intentionally *not* saying that S Korea and Japan's actions are controlled by American overlords. I'm saying that, in a very real world scenario, S Korea and Japan already rely on the US military for their own self-defense. There's just no world where they have anywhere near the tangible physical force projection to counteract an invasion of Taiwan without US backing. If the US publicly pulls their support for Taiwan, S Korea and Japan physically cannot fill that gap. The question of agency *is* relevant on the other side.

It might be very different for a young couple from the country side moving to Shanghai to work in food delivery for minimum pay, a gay man who has to live in secret with his sexuality or a rich family who lost everything in one of Xi Jing Ping's loyalty purges. During my visits in China, the hardline ""Taiwan must submit"" was mainly trumpeted out on media to drown out local news of governmental failures like school roof top collapse or children's milk with toxic melanin to increase protein level. Question 2: Does Taiwan have WMD? I hope not. It would be a massive drain of resources from an already strained economy. WMD as deterrent only works if your enemy acts rationally. China is more concerned about keeping face internally and maintaining control than worried about geopolitics, so your standard Game Theory model with Mutually Assured Destruction would not work with China.

The whole premise is very silly and you'd hope ordinary Argentinians would be beyond it by now. ","The reason I was saying that I think over time the UK could lose it is the distance. It's no secret that the UK along with much of Europe heavily demilitarized after the fall of the Berlin Wall. This has caused problems in their armed forces from a logistics and offensive power standpoint. Don't get me wrong The UK is still stronger than Argentina however it is a far distance to wage a war. That is why it is my firm belief that if Argentina didn't keep fucking up their country and actually took advantage of their resources in population they would have a strong enough military to take the islands. Thus, the reason the Falklands are still under UK control has less to do with the UK's military shrinking, and more to do with Argentina struggling.

This is true, the issue for Korea is just having far fewer people than China while having that land border to the north.

I think your train of thought here is largely correct. However, one of the biggest lessons of Ukraine is that raw conventional firepower does still matter, as humanity has not yet left war behind. That's one of the big reasons Europe has thus far been unwilling to escalate the conflict - their militaries have been atrophied over decades, and their options are more limited than they would like. Sanctions, sabotage, hybrid war, diplomatic posturing, proxy conflicts. Whatever the form, it all matters, absolutely. But sanctions won't prevent China from annexing the island of Taiwan if there are no opposed soldiers to stop them, it just makes the price higher.

Because I’ve studied drug running, did a thesis on it, admittedly a while back; but one doesn’t need a thesis paper to understand basic physics/economics as to why many of these are unfortunately, very likely fishermen. I’ll only speak to strikes on boats carrying multiple individuals (> 2), because I can’t provide reasoning as to boats with fewer people in them being fishing vessels; though there has been zero evidence from the admin definitively proving one way or the other. Why we likely aren’t dealing with drug runners in boats with greater than two people aboard: First, the more human weight on a boat, the less capacity for drugs. Second, Trump claims they’re running fentanyl, well that drug is dosed in micrograms. They aren’t sending boats packed with that drug over the open water, it makes no sense when other, more covert methods abound to transport smaller high-value bricks/loads. Third, if you look at the stats, the vast majority of fentanyl—and this goes back to my second point—comes into the US via ports of entry, airports, and originates from China (not Venezuela, Trump admits as much during his campaigns as he demonizes China). Fourth, running drugs on a vessel with more than two people is inefficient, costly, and creates more “loose ends” because now you have multiple runners with knowledge of the route, and process, conspirators. Why have 3 loose ends when you could run a boat with 1 or 2. Fifth, drug runners as a whole, tend to use ports of entry these days, though they still use boats and submarines. But to my points above, these vessels aren’t matching the known “M.O.” for these operations. Sixth, Trump pardoned a man responsible for brining massive amounts of drugs into the US, hundreds of millions of dollars worth. Based on this and the points above, I just don’t believe the strikes are about stopping the flow of drugs into the US because the boats aren’t the real issue. It’s the ports of entry.
