Is not this the guy that wanted to put crocodiles in prisons, but was stopped by the Israeli society because it was bad for the crocodiles?

Israel is becoming so crazy, that it would be funny if the result was not so terrible for the people targeted.

Ah, sure. Only terrorists. We feel better now.

You mean the guy (a minister in the current Israeli government, by the way) that said in a post on X:

“for every tear of an Israeli mother, a thousand Lebanese mothers should cry. All of Lebanon must burn!”

that guy?

Spain changed recently its pro-independent Sahara without a reasonable explanation. It totally feels like a betrayal. Many of us think it was because of pressures of the Americans and the Israelis.

yeah, let's start all to produce more weapons. What could possible go wrong. What about this? The USA just go home, nobody is going to invade them.

They didn't ban any company, they just ordered public services and public companies not to use what has been classified as a security risk.

Anybody here think that Palantir is not a security risk for Spain?

The argument has some merits, but we should remember that, from the point of view of Bayes, you could apply the same argument to symptoms, which is only evidence. High odds of a false positive, means that you have not enough evidence, not that you have not useful information.

what does 'undermine' means here? It seems that there is a 'correct' way of thinking, and if you don't play along you're an enemy or a Russian asset or whatever. Not very democratic.

Your comment makes it look like is a police action instead of interfering in the business of third countries in international waters, with the express goal of causing economic pain.

The Taiwanese? This is actually a perfect example of what I was saying.

Talking about 'Taiwan' and 'border disputes with the PRC' meanwhile the USA is doing a maritime blockade of Cuba and Iran. And that it's without talking about bombing countries or military deployed thousand of miles away from their borders, of God forbid, unconditional support to Israel, who just displaced one and a half million people.

But, let's forget about all those small details, don't you see how the Chinese are very bad?

So, who would you say that spend more resources 'controlling the international narrative', the USA or China?

You have to be joking.

The media is almost daily full of China scares. Also, the comments here are not talking about who started this war, with the GPU sanctions and the arrest of the daughter of Huawei's founder.

Does it mean the Chinese are the good guys? No, because there are not good guys, but there is certainly a side that is extremely aggressive an can't conceive that others can have their own interests. And it's not the Chinese.

The metaphor still works, minors in pubs are, presumably, under the supervision of their parents, otherwise they have not business being there in the first place.

Right? It seems to me that the filter should be at the device level by the parents.

Also, it's not only in the USA. In Europe too, all at the same time. Don't worry though, it's just conspiracy theory that those things are related.

Man, Hezbollah was, literally, created as an answer to Israel attacks.
