This emboldens the bully Israel. Now they know that no matter who they pick on, they will never feel any real counter-attacks because the US will stop them all. This encourages them to continue their attacks and to pick new fights because there will never be any consequences. If Biden wants to encourage Netanyahu to stop his wars of aggression, he needs to make Israel second guess their attacks.

This move absolutely counters his message for a ceasefire. This will embolden them to keep fighting.

I guess what I’m trying to say is I want a prime minister with a short skirt and a long jacket.

I also want my Cake and to eat it too.

You're in a thread about MS fucking up and you're annoyed that people are... [Checks notes]... complaining about MS fucking up? What exactly did you come here expecting?

We're all from the past.

You mean like the softwood lumber dispute that's been going on for over 40 years where the US has put illegal tariffs on Canadian softwood exports? The one where they've been found in breach of the agreement multiple times and still haven't fixed it?

Yeah, I'm sure they would never put tariffs on Mexican electric cars to protect their own auto industries.

Sure, I'm gonna steal your TV because I'll take better care of it than you would.

You're welcome

That is true, but people are capable of holding both views at the same time. Soldiers on the battlefield go out and do horrific things to enemy soldiers and civilians, and come home and are loving fathers and husbands who wouldn't hurt anyone. Or how many times have people been caught for horrible crimes and all their friends and neighbours say it isn't possible because they're the kindest and most helpful people they know.

This isn't a matter of "some people are capable and some are not". It's a case of "most people seem to be able to set aside someone else's humanity to do horrible things"

It's already responsible for religion and all the nonsense it's spawned.

I find it fascinating how we're so willing to ascribe thoughts, feelings, and motivations to inanimate objects or forces of nature and on the other hand we're so quick to remove all of those attributes from other groups of humans to justify horrible acts done to them.

Yep, plug it into your coworker's computer to test it first.

Israeli forces are a hostile combatant and should be treated as such.

Nah, the Windows folder is larger than that. There's an easy way to reclaim all that wasted space.
