Nobody was prepared for this evolution of warfare. You can now build an explosive-carrying device the size and radar profile of a large bird.

But, for what it's worth, Russian state media is saying that it was saboteurs... which is probably more likely given the distance from the frontline than an Ukrainian-operated drone.

Didn't German and Dutch companies fund Nordstream 2? "Russia's pipeline" indeed.

What evidence do you want to see about a state-sponsored assassination? It's happened twice now and you think it's an accident?

Are you surprised? People in Washington are openly talking about how they should be focusing on China under the assumption that China will somehow make the decision to seize Taiwan tomorrow... As if they haven't been posturing about that literally since the end of the civil war and done nothing except increase trade, open up immigration, and increase cultural coupling with Taiwan.

The US needs an enemy to justify their extreme military budget and China is the bogeyman of the decade.

They could reform ICE and CBP, or they could instead buy another aircraft carrier.

Why would you believe this? The talent is specialized and most of them are already employed by the few dominant market players.

Your number is a bit off. It's more around 569000 per person.

Treason and sedition is a no-no around the world...

There's a difference between going "yo government y'all suck" and "let's take up arms and overthrow the government"

Classic Apple. Gotta pump up that Services revenue, even if by taking advantage of dark patterns everywhere.

The US government is structured such that, although it operates as a democracy, you don't feel like you have that much control over how the government operates.

The US wants to invade Iraq? Alrighty then. California wants to dump $100 billion into a single rail line? Sure. Boston wants to defund transit until it literally catches on fire? Why not. Across every level of government, you're sort of left wondering who they're listening to.
