Holy shit we might actually have a chance of beating back climate change. I never expected the sheer scale of Chinese photovoltaic expansion.

Regardless of what you think about the impacts of this on the economy, it's undoubtedly good for the environment to have cheap electricity available to supplant expensive fossil fuels.

How many Uyghurs are dead because of Chinese government action? Give me a number. Doesn't have to be concrete, just within an order of magnitude.

What's the point of a navy when interceptors are expensive and limited while drones are cheap and limitless? While this use of resources is arguably productive in a land war, Ukraine has once again demonstrated the folly of deploying a navy against a land-based opponent.

If Ukraine can do this to Russia in Russian waters, what could China do to a US carrier group off it's coast, thousands of kilometers from the US?

Hamas literally walked up to tanks to place explosive charges without issue.

The IDF is an absolute mess.

Lol the number of posts the mods removed discussing this topic makes me think the mods have an agenda. Do the mods not think Russia is a threat?

President Biden's decision to launch air strikes on the Houthis has won him some praise from Republicans in Congress, but also criticism from some fellow Democrats.

US Senate Republican leader Mitch McConnell said: "I welcome the US and coalition operations against the Iran-backed Houthi terrorists responsible for violently disrupting international commerce in the Red Sea and attacking American vessels. President Biden’s decision to use military force against these Iranian proxies is overdue."

Roger Wicker, the top Republican on the Senate Armed Services Committee, said "this strike was two months overdue, but it is a good first step toward restoring deterrence in the Red Sea".

On the Democrat side, California representative Ro Khanna said: "The President needs to come to Congress before launching a strike against the Houthis in Yemen and involving us in another Middle East conflict. That is Article 1 of the Constitution. I will stand up for that regardless of whether a Democrat or Republican is in the White House."

That criticism was echoed by Democrat representative Mark Pocan from Wisconsin, who said: "The United States cannot risk getting entangled into another decades-long conflict without Congressional authorization. The White House must work with Congress before continuing these air strikes in Yemen".
