Could you imagine the trauma from your teddy that speaks to you like a person and at some point your parents throw it out because it’s just a teddy and the kid needs to get over their ‘imaginary friend’.

Adults are having trouble with this. It’s horrifying that they’re forcing it on children

I wish they’d wake up and stop pushing this guy. They need to be pushing a Bernie style left of center. Otherwise it’s going to swing so far left there’s going to be carpenters working to build mideval structures outside their homes.

Ben Gurion airport LITERALLY has an Airforce Base attached to it. The US LITERALLY evacuated their bases and had personnel staying in local hotels. Arguing against this is like saying the Iranian frigate in Indonesia wasn’t a valid target because it wasn’t in the theater of war

Embassies often hold intelligence offices. They’re absolutely a valid target. Airports are infrastructure that supports military operations. (Flying in food and other supplies) Hotels that have been hit were where military personnel were staying. (When other countries do this it’s called ‘using human shields’)

Are hospitals and school girls valid targets? One side is acting defensively. If you’ve been following this conflict for a while, you’d know that Iran has done as much as possible to avoid this conflict. Their back is against the wall and they’re swinging.

Embassies, yes. Check out what the US embassy was doing in Tehran during the 70s. Gas terminals, yes. But also Iran has been claiming the strike in SA wasn’t them. Hospitals, no. I haven’t seen anything about Iran striking hospitals. US and Israel regularly strike hospitals. Schools, no. Once again, Iran isn’t, but you can’t say the same about the agressors

Iran has been hitting military targets and other infrastructure that’s supporting military targets. What exactly would they be defending? France is out of range.

Iran claims one strike killed 200. That’s unlikely, but so is this low number. I’ve seen some of these explosions. There’s no way the casualty numbers are so low

It’s been a slow start, but it started in Ukraine. So far it’s been Ukraine then Iran. Next is likely Cuba or Mexico. Cuba for regime change. Mexico for ‘the cartels’. Once the final straw hits, then things will escalate faster

This doesn’t feel like an actual serious question. Try looking up wild cows and jungle fowl. Yes the domestic cow and chicken would probably go extinct if no one was continuing to domesticate them. That’s kinda how evolution works

Any American that thinks you’re going to be able to vote this regime out is either not paying attention or a complete shill

Bullets?

The drones used in the Russia Ukraine war aren’t stealth. They’re very loud. It’s rare you see combat footage where the victim isn’t aware of the drone. They’ve been effectively used as anti personnel and anti equipment devices. A swarm could be used effectively to overwhelm positions. I have suspicion that this is to counter the upcoming anti drone technology that shoots them with lazers. It could also allow one person to push groups into kill zones.

First bullet and last bullet contradict each other. Last bullet implies that 96 000 people died in the year for those territorial gains. First bullet says that all new recruits are just replacement for the dead. But the 96 000 dead can be replaced in 3 months.

From your source: ‘Beginning in January 2019, during the Venezuelan presidential crisis, the U.S. applied additional economic sanctions to individuals or companies in the petroleum, gold, mining, and banking industries’

If you check the GDP per capita of Venezuela it was increasing at positive rate immediately after Chavez took power.

Life expectancy was also increasing after Chavez had taken over. https://data.who.int/countries/862

Most Venezuelan refugees cite crime, access to food and healthcare as reasons for leaving. Guess what US sanctions were causing. If you guessed lack of food and supplies for healthcare which caused an increase in crime, you’d be correct.

If socialism doesn’t work, why do they spend so many resources making sure it fails?

Liberal is an actual ideology. A hallmark of liberal thought is that business can do things better than government. Leftist thought starts at capitalism is bad, and is much deeper than you think. Democrats of all types are liberal. The kicker is so are the Republicans. It’s one reason that Republicans are able to push the Democrats to do anything they want. They don’t fundamentally disagree on things.

Europeans are having a hard time being irrelevant

I miss it… I never knew how much I’d appreciate seeing who down voted me. Occasionally I’d think, ‘hmmm this guy with opinions I respect didn’t like that? Why?’ more often I’d think ‘hahaha nazi’

Unfortunately, it’s not just an Israeli thing. There’s lots of Zionists in NA who say things like ‘the Palestinians don’t even know how to farm’…
