I know you just copied the headline of the article, but that headline is doing some serious heavy lifting in terms of saying the US has no control over its actions.

"Oh no, we bumbled our way into a war again! Couldn't be helped, not our faults. Whatever are we to do?"

Much like the theft of historical artifacts by the UK et al, ISIS was the result of decades of imperialist meddling by the US. Maybe just leave things be and let the locals work out what they want to do with their land, their people, and the artifacts on it. Offering assistance without strings attached is good, interventions are bad.

It's like offering to help your neighbor with their yard: it's acceptable to offer to lend them your mower, but it's not acceptable to dig up everything on their property, replace it with grass sod, and spray it regularly with herbicides because you didn't like the look of their local fauna and are afraid the dandelions and clover would spread to your lawn after your first intervention.

I appreciate the extra effort you made to use profile pics.

Checks out. I can verify these claims by virtue of having not verified any of these claims.

Give it time, eventually we will do an imperialism to your country too.

LOL, the only people who would say this to Yogthos are those speaking from ignorance. The dude is like a machine when it comes to reading and sharing articles from all over the place. I've never seen anyone else read the news so widely.

Went to a wedding and the pastor's pre-ceremony sermon was fire and brimstone followed by a rant about how it was God who gave him the right to marry, not the state. Lots of stuff about the wife being subservient to the husband and acting as his servant. The deep state government was being controlled by a satanists who call themselves secular humanists. Marriage can only happen between a man and a woman and the state was defiling marriage by allowing gays to marry, but it wasn't real marriage according to God. Some really wacky stuff to talk about at a celebration. Killed the mood.

Turns out my friends had joined one of those extreme, right-wing cults and this was their normal pastor. This group was worse than any of the usual bad actors and interacting with any of their congregation was weird. We fell out of touch for some reason.

Blowback is something a different administration has to deal with. Therefore, it's not our problem!

The US. The US is the totalitarian bully of the entire world.

BCG isn't nearly as protective as modern vaccines aim to be. The GSK vaccine in question in the article and similar ones in development in other research groups are aiming to improve protection over BCG.

It's insane how common latent TB is on a global scale and it's quite a challenging problem to solve from a technical standpoint.

This is the greatest AMV I've ever watched.

You're just jealous because your spoon isn't as big as Stalin's was.
