It’s less the people and more the trade routes and resources. Some would argue the most important in the world

And the US has been doing the same for Israel

How is a state that’s largely funded by another state not a proxy for the bigger state? It’s not a Israel Iran proxy war. It’s a us Iran proxy war

In it’s ‘war against Hamas’ Israel has now bombed 3 countries that has no Hamas

It’s feasible that the kid is still alive. Think for a moment what they would have lived through. A complete childhood without the state of Israel (Zionists were already moving in) , ww2, Israel being recognized as a state, the nakba, multiple wars trying to push israels influence away. Intifada, the second intifada, and then Israel slowly taking all Palestinian land. Followed by a genocide late in life…

On 538, Harris is polling better or the same in national polls. The real issue is Trump’s large lead in all but 1 swing state.

Kind of makes the scandal of a president being unable to walk seem quaint

Good advice. It’s also good to have clear boundaries set up. The ideal. The what you expect, and the non negotiable. Start with the ideal. Expecting to get pushed towards what you expect. Never budge on the nonnegotiable.

Supreme Court reform is necessary, but this is not an election issue. This is the type of thing you fix immediately not use as an election issue. I’m afraid it’s too little too late Joe

Every woman would want to date me… because of the implication

Heck yeah… I’d get better vision, better spine, … there’s a plethora of quality of life things that I think most people would be insane to pass up. On another side, having a sweet of powers that effectively made me Batman levels of ability… How could anyone actually pass that up? Literally just a peak human… Yes please.

If they win it was legit. If not there’s interference. Plan b isn’t do nothing and hope for the best

IF Trump is the threat to democracy that the dems say, the shooting was a reasonable response. I hate this 'violence is never the answer ’ nonsense. I’ve been taught my entire life that sometimes violence is justified. For example: ww2, American revolutionary war, civil war, wars for independence (thanks Britain), Haitian uprising…

I’m not a Trump fan, but I pegged him wrong. I thought he’s the type of guy that’d piss himself in that situation. Instead he took it like a champ

That is what I meant by the funding model. What we’re talking about is fee for service. More service equals more money. There’s other funding models though.

Of course they do. Those seas are notoriously rough. They need to test their ships. It’s also a show of strength.

This isn’t terribly unusual for the us to do. Is it slightly provocative? Yes. Is the narrative also fearmongering? Also yes

Exclusive economic zone is an area of the sea in which a sovereign state has exclusive rights regarding the exploration and use of marine resources. It doesn’t limit travel.

‘Ships in international waters’ … Total non story

We get the same issue in Ontario with family health teams. The structure of the corporation matters, but so does the funding model

There’s a movement inside of Healthcare to get the average Dr’s office humming like a dentist. Which, if you’re concerned with patient care at all, is impossible. You’ll see it with posters saying only one issue per visit, which also greatly imperils the patient as sometimes a diagnosis will change based off one symptom. You’ve got a good attitude about this.
