What happened in 2002? Was that from the war on terror?
This is actually the lowest of the tariffs, a blanket 10% on every country except those that are higher. It's crazy. I wonder if this'll kill anything not coming direct to consumer under the de minimis threshold. Unless they go though with eliminating that too.

Tin in solder or some other meals can form spiky crystals when under stress. These whiskers can form short circuits if not properly insulated or not alloyed with other metals.
I wonder how many times this needs to be reposted and downscaled to no longer be true. It looks like this is already not the original resolution of the picture.
Star wars a new hope started out with Luke as an everyman. But since then it's all become about the bloodline. Rise of Skywalker is especially bad, tearing down the anyone can be special and saying you can only be special because of your bloodline.
Without nato membership, nothing prevents Russia from trying again once they've regenerated their forces. Russia has already broken their promise to
reaffirm their commitment to Ukraine, in accordance with the principles of the CSCE [Commission on Security and Cooperation in Europe] Final Act, to respect the Independence and Sovereignty and the existing borders of Ukraine

There's a war going on right now in Ukraine, helping them win it will make Russia launching a next war less likely and further off.
I'm just stubborn, left during the blackout and didn't want to go back.
