Unless the US puts boots on the ground, which would require a draft to have enough troops, which would end the presidency of whoever does it, Israel isn't annexing anything outside Palestine. They can't even take Lebanon, and I like Lebanon and all, but they're not a real military force to be reckoned with.

It would take Iran a day to cleanse occupied Palestine of its Nazi problem, if they thought the US wouldn't nuke them on Israels behalf.

Or, much more likely, it was a faulty battery in a device in a package.

IME has been sketchy as fuck since before Intel gained market dominance, much less lost it. I'm surprised it took any semi mainstream media in any country this long to report on it, there have been defcon talks about the massive black hole that is local and ime instructions for Intel chips for at least a decade now.

No, I consider a defensive action from north Korea to be a defensive action from north Korea. It is better than the US, but it being an improvement would imply they were ever on the same path. The best the US could ever hope for is some states seceding and forming a proper country.

People abandoning places instead of improving them resulted in the US, the most destructive single country in human history by every measure.

But contrary to the claim being made, also you can refuse funding as a candidate. You don't have to be supported by opaque super PACs.

Content discovery is indeed YouTubes only value, otherwise you'd just watch content on a better platform dedicated to the creator you wanted to watch like their patreon

The opposite. If your vote for a president their actions are yours. You endorsed and aides them.

How is being genocided without restraint better than being genocided without restraint?

There is no better or worse in actively arming and participating in a genocide.

I'm not the one murdering them, quite literally. Just like in real life, there is no mystical unstoppable force of nature in play. It's another person, like you. Their choices aren't your choices.

To put it another way, if you sold a kid a bike and he later crashes and dies despite the bike having no faults, are you responsible? Most would correctly identify that you are not responsible in that scenario, as the kid is responsible for what they did with the bike.

There already has been no restraint from Biden. Genocide is genocide, and Harris supports genocide.

I'm not voting for genocide, there is no moral argument to do so.
