It would be miniscule compared to the damage Israel inflicted on Lebanon for decades

Iran was "contained" under Obama's deal with them....that Trump tore up....and when he was in the middle of negotiating a new one he attacked Iran who were in good faith negotiations.

The rogue nation here is the US.

Isn't the person you're replying to suggesting people can update the firmware to the trusted version via a website? So it doesn't matter if you get one from 'the next batch' - provided you're on top of updating the firmware.

And yet millions of people starve, are tortured and are worked to death in the name of Capitalism. How many die or are made destitute due to lack of affordable healthcare in the US alone?

Not to mention the trillions of dollars (and lives) given up in the pursuit of halting what we're told is a fragile, prone-to-collapse form of government for a hundred years now.

Strange that.

Yeah, in my experience it's typically used by people who can't counter your argument and people who seem likely to be fooled by actual bots. They're the same people, as it happens.

Where's the proof Roaring Kitty is a pump and dump scammer? He made the connections, concocted the thesis and is now taking it to its natural conclusion.

He wields enough power in his position that he doesn't need anyone to bring it about.

He hasn't done anything illegal. He posts his positions after the market closes and he's talked about his thesis for years now.

We're all just getting front row seats to the show.

How is it a pump and dump? He doesn't need anyone to do anything.

He has the position and the funds to make the play himself.

Traveller and expat here - "free world" is absolutely correct.

Even its allies aren't free of government interference from the US.

Lions don't attack every animal that sets foot on their turf.

The release of "Collateral Murder" damaged public opinion of the US invasion of Iraq and US foreign policy in general. If journalists embarrass the US government by telling them their nose looks funny, Assange embarrassed them by pulling their pants down at the half time show at the Superbowl.

For Australians: Right-wing, Sky News talking head, Rita Panahi, was born in Pine Bluff, AK, according to its wikipedia page. Sure would explain her hatred of the poor.

Those few days where Facebook blocked news org posts was absolute bliss. The platform is better without them.

Perhaps the term "wired differently" wasn't so far off the mark after all?
