I’m pretty sure his next act is actually to invade Cuba by building a bridge to it.

Don’t even need bombs, it’s not very wide that can shoot at them with artillery very easily.

You forgot your /s tag.

It’s not Israel’s war. Israel is just a proxy for the western nations against Iran and other middle eastern powers. Trump just went off half cocked again instead of following the steady plan to keep them subdued, which is why the rest of the countries are standing back.

Points are USD

Thats correct. Russia is not fighting that one on their own.

That’s how proxy wars work, yes.

Rag was never supposed to be about learning over time. It was supposed to provide better context at inference. It could never scale to handle new learning beyond focused concepts.

Eliminating programmers will be possible when we figure out how to eliminate engineers in designing buildings.

Only a true AGI will be able to do that, and while LLMs feel like a step towards AGI, they are still missing the critical ongoing learning component that needs to happen for an AGI to exist. The way the current systems are trained simply doesn’t allow for accepting and adopting new information continuously.

If you shout MAGA enough times, I hear it summons a direct connection to the Truth.

You have no proof, your assertions aren’t backed up by any sort of actual logic.

There are groups like META who spent MORE than AIPAC in 2025, and congress is still handing them their asses, so clearly just funneling money to congresscritters isn’t sufficient to directly buy them off.

and you’re still not offering a realistic alternative.

I want people to stop killing each other. If it means genocide (displacing people) to prevent more genocide (killing people) as a REALISTIC answer, then yes. That’s what I want to see happen.

Nobody else here giving any real answers other than wishful thinking.

Do you really believe, that if everyone stopped supporting Israel and they lost all basic ability to hurt anyone, all the groups that are attacking Israel are going to magically stop.

Do you actually think that’s what would happen?

If you do, I have a bridge to sell you.

$28 million dollars is a tiny fucking amount of money in terms of lobbying.

It’s also only about $50,000 per congress member.

For that same cycle, it was reported that the 117 Senate candidates received about 1.5 million dollars on average, and the entirety of congress races received something like $700 million. So AIPAC was less than 4% of all money.

Assuming that number is actually amounts given to congress, and not just lobbying or PAC stuff which has separate much higher totals.

Some individual races were in the 10s of millions.

Lobbying was a $5 Billion dollar industry in 2025.

How can you expect to be taken seriously when the amounts they’re spending are so small? How can these people be so completely bought by such tiny amounts? It entirely defies any sort of reason, especially given that both parties support Israel so they would have to spread it over EVERYONE for it to be effective.

That’s funny. There’s no shackles to break off. This isn’t a 40 year bribery scandal, it’s a proxy war. No different than the ones fought in Korea, Vietnam, Ukraine, Afghanistan, or elsewhere.

Israel can’t even “buy” Canadian politicians, there’s no super pacs, there’s no corporate donations, there’s almost no influence here from them.

Yet the Canadian governments for the last few decades, Conservative AND Liberal, have always supported Israel against Iran. They STILL support Israel, despite it being massively unpopular among their voters and them losing votes over it.

Because once they become MPs, they get educated on what’s really happening and why it’s important.

I almost want your side to win sometimes, so that when the inevitable worse situation occurs a new generation can be educated on why violence is sometimes necessary to prevent far worse violence. It was a lesson learned through the sacrifice of tens of millions in the world wars, and yet it has been forgotten by those who fail to learn from history.

Ah right, a few thousand dollars is enough to buy the support of politicians across the entirely of Europe and North America.

That makes far more sense than a known proxy war between the west and Iran that’s been going on for 40 years. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Iran–Israel_proxy_conflict

You’re sticking your head in the sand, and I’m not even American let alone MAGA.

Israel does not have support because of bribery, I literally just said that, and you immediately said it was because of payoffs to politicians.

It’s not about fucking bribery, it’s not about payoffs, it’s ENTIRELY about geopolitics.

Your way of life only exists because Iran, Russia, China, etc. aren’t in power. If you want to give up your way of life and prefer the way they do things, go ahead and move there. I, along with most other western people, would prefer if those countries fucked right off.

So is genocide, pick one.

There isn’t a peaceful option remaining at this point. Anyone who thinks there is hasn’t been paying attention the last 80 years of history.

What completely peaceful solution is realistic?

If people don’t get along, you separate them.

Everyone whining about Israel just stopping is completely ignoring the fact that other people will keep attacking them.
