  • Iraq already did that in Kuwait and it accomplished nothing.

    They even heavily armed the shore thinking the US would try a beach landing, and instead they were spammed with a barrage of missiles that stayed out of range of most of their batteries.

    Iran would struggle to minefield the strait with the US navy just sitting on 24/7 standby.

    Israel wants Iran’s current government to fall, the US just isn’t interested in doing a hard land campaign to accomplish it (yet).

    They want it quick and easy like what Trump just did in Venezuela, but that’s just not possible with Iran, which is why they’re still open to negotiations despite Netanyahu showing up to the Whitehouse like its his own home.

    The crux for the US is that trying to topple the regime via a military operation could easily backfire without a complete invasion. They’re trying to find a pressure point that will cause the government to fracture internally, but they probably don’t have any solid leads that could succeed, otherwise they would have done it during the protests.










  • Sarfraz Bugti, the provincial chief minister, told reporters in Quetta that troops and police officers responded swiftly to the attacks, killing 145 members of “Fitna al-Hindustan,” a phrase the government uses for the BLA.

    Sure buddy. 145 of them just conveniently showed up to get shot by the army.

    Pakistani army is too busy trying to remind the world that they were rhe first ones to nominate Trump for the Nobel Peace Prize. They don’t even allocate enough APCs for their soldiers in Balochistan.


  • WWW has been a complete crapshow ever since it started simply because it became popular.

    It was designed to serve documents over the internet, except everyone co-opted for their own needs like websites, APIs, etc.

    That left us with broken as hell crap at every layer from the joke that is HTML/CSS, the clownshow that is HTTP, and the circus that is JavaScript.

    And don’t even get the started on the mountain of vulnerabilities being stupid obvious crap that wouldn’t dare to fly in even basic GNU utilities at the time.

    Adding insult to injury, this guy hasn’t even provided a valid solution to this mess like hyphanet or the very newly released freenet.

    Which by the way tries to hack cheat the system with WebAssembly so that it doesn’t have to deal with HTTPS directly since its an exclusive client server protocol.


  • The core difference, arguably only with the US, are individual freedoms like speech, religion, armament, etc.

    Even though the US is currently trampling all over the bill of rights, it isn’t something that can be easily ignored or covered up. Protest can and will still happen all the time.

    China heavily values cohesion over individuality, so the only “free speech” you get to usually witness is scrutinized before it ever reaches you, and everyone is aware that the government actively covers up issues.

    Aside from that, China is miles ahead of the US in development, infrastructure, and their economy. Most of the US complaints over China are hypocritical as you say, or only exist due to the US viewing China as a military an economic threat.

    A lot of people would probably be happy to give up those freedoms in exchange for social stability and quality of life if they were given the option.
