That's a lot of worlds to say "imperial paternalism." It's American guns and American cash that fueled the cartels. Then it was American policy that turned it hyper violent. The simple facts remain. The US will support the most vile, despotic dictators on the planet if it furthers American interest. Hence, our close relationship with Saudi Arabia. This statement isn't even debatable. It's a categorical fact demonstrated over and over again. If America cared about human rights, we'd be looking internal and openly criticizing French actions in Africa. "Human rights" are a tool we leverage MOSTLY against our enemies.

There are a lot of assumptions in this study. The first is assuming that all the oil and gas projects currently funded are all going to work out. They won’t. Oil exploration is still a pretty risky venture especially when considering offshore drilling. The other assumption is that we can slowly phase out the industry by not funding new projects. The industry is going to crater like a meteor if new project funding stops. Most modern drilling in the west is done with horizontal wells and fracking. The wells come on with good oil rates but drop quickly. That’s why they have to continually drill new wells. They’re running a treadmill and trying to keep up with rapidly declining production. If they stop chasing new drilling, that production will fall off a cliff. The other piece to this is the rapidly increasing demand for energy in our modern society. This isn’t going away. Green energy is improving but is not ready to take over completely across the globe. We need more nuclear and we are going to need fusion to pan out. It’s still so far out.

the moon is basically a pitstop/gas station/factory for us to expand into the wider universe. it provides a large amount of easily accessible material outside of earths gravity well(mostly, of course). this includes stuff such as helium 3, often talked about in terms of fusion power, but also normal resources incase we never crack fusion. such as aluminum, silica, iron, oxygen, hydrogen, carbon, and more. as we expand into the solar system and beyond having a good manufacturing base on the moon (and in earth orbit) makes things take A LOT less effort/energy/resources to get out into the wider system as well as to earth orbit. for example, we could manufacture trillions of solar panels on the moon and launch them into orbit of the earth to provide energy and block a small amount of solar radiation (energy/heat) to help control global warming.

Afghanistan was a shitshow before we went there and is a shitshow after 20 years of US intervention. It would be a shitshow after 100 years of intervention. Unless you want to make it the 51st state, what the hell is the point of staying there forever? We aren't the world police. As for Israel and Gaza, I don't see how killing tons of Gazans is going to make Israel any safer. It's just going to light a fire under more young Gazans to join Hamas or whatever takes their place. At the same time, it's weakening Israel's connections with its allies. Unless Israel thinks it can go it alone in that part of the world, they may need to change course. Or just keep doing the same thing over and over and hoping for a different result.

This is the correct answer. The hostage families were abducted by loud and aggressive leftist protest groups that are trying to overthrow the government using a combination of sympathy for the families and calling on outside pressure to intervene in Israeli politics. These protests photograph well for the media, but they absolutely don’t represent the vast majority of Israelis, who know that a reckless deal “at any cost” will risk the future of Israel. Biden is actively trying to sabotage the government and aid these protesters with his actions.

Honestly, while 2016 was clear to a lot of us, the "I've always voted R and that's what I do" was an understandable sense. In 2020 we had 4 years of observation to confirm the fears many of us felt and was very much a decision those Rs had to make. It was an endorsement of the 4 years prior. Rather than leaving their party for what the left feared might happen, they should have left the party for what did happen. Since 2020 there has been an insurrection. Documents were stolen and compromised. SCOTUS is more politicized than ever before, and Donald Trump is a convicted felon. A 2024 vote for Trump tells me everything a person stands for, and it isn't anything good.

This is a quite interesting discussion, so from what I understand Maliki, the prime minister, wanted residual US troops to stay in Iraq. As did a great deal of officials in Iraq’s parliament. We also did offer to put 3,500 residual troops on the ground but added a poison pill proviso that led to the Iraqi parliament rejecting our troop presence. I’ll quote Call Sign Chaos by Jim Mattis regarding discussions going on at the time since that’s one book I have close by, “‘Maliki wants us to stick around, because he does not see a future in Iraq otherwise,’ Biden said. “I’ll bet you my vice presidency.’” Pg. 207. “On one of my trips to Iraq, officials repeatedly told me they needed us there to help them ‘avoid the suffocating embrace of Iran.’ At the level below Maliki, I heard this same quote often enough to recognize an agreed-upon “talking point’…” pg 208. “… instead of eighteen thousand troops, the White House half-heartedly offered a token provision of 3,500 (a number with no analytic basis that I knew of), provided that the Iraqi parliament voted for strict terms protecting our forces from Iraqi judicial prosecution. That proviso was a poison pill… We had other legal ways of protecting American troops from prosecution.” Pg. 209

Woah, are you folks insane? No one wants Palestinians killed "for fun". The issue is, that many powers have their best interests aligned with Palestinians and Israelis dying. For example, Iran, Russia, and some Arab countries I don't even want to mention because it would cause a fight here. Anyway, no one gives a fuck about Palestinians or Israelis, except for some Muslims everywhere, some Jews or Christians everywhere, and the US government (Trump also cares but not about Palestinians, I think he would be better than most European leaders, though, they really don't give a F, they just want to look cool).

First of all, thank you for proving my point about a loud, intolerant and aggressive minority. You yourself are an absolute textbook example of exactly what I’m talking about, unable to even hold civil discussion without descending into personal attacks on someone you don’t even know. Ad hominem attacks are a proof you can’t combat my arguments. I’ll just add to this that if you think Palestinian willingness to murder every single Jew has ANYTHING to do with whoever currently has power in Israel then you absolutely know nothing about Palestinian society and the degree of hatred there. They’ve murdered the very peace activists who were helping them without thinking twice. And they will do the same thing to every genius Kaplan protester if given the chance. You’re playing a stupid game of peace with yourself which the Palestinians are not even a part of. They want you dead just as much as they want me, they give absolutely no fuck about who you voted for. Tel Aviv is as much an illegal settlement to them as any West Bank settlement. Since your reading of reality is so flawed, nothing about your mad raving rant is surprising. Maybe one day you would wake up, as most people did on 7.10. For your sake I hope so, but regardless you will thankfully remain a tiny, loud and insignificant minority.

I do not know if this is what the commenter is suggesting, but often times this refers to the idea that locking up 2% of your population and indefinitely having to support them, is unsustainable.  El Salvador has a budget deficit of about -2% gdp, that being said it’s had a Deficit since the mid 90s.

To clarify, I am not commenting on if it is true or not.  Just that’s usually where it comes from.

That being said a counter to that is that this is actually on the lower end of their historical deficit so, it hasn’t really had an effect at least yet.

Hard truth: sometimes, there _is_ positives with dictatorships.

That’s an interesting question. Apparently he is the first president to run for reelection since 1939 so maybe they are trying to reinterpret what that means since it’s been a hot minute since anyone’s tried. Apparently the government reinterpreted these constitutional presidential term laws and the loopholes that he steps away from presidential powers 6 months leading up to his inauguration 🥴 I mean I do think a 5 year term would make it difficult for a single president to make big progress and keep that momentum if they arent allowed to run for reelection on a second consecutive term even if they are popular among the majority of citizens, but I think the loophole is concerning and wonder if in 5 years he’ll refuse to step down

None of what you say guarantees that this guy won't turn into another dictator or isn't a dictator already. You don't have to be installed by the US or USSR to be a dictator. Dictators can exist in any era. Dictators can even be popular. Like you say; see what happened to Chavez. The same can happen here. And with this dude's utter disregard of due proces a lot of innocent people will suffer. Enough are already suffering, if I read a bit about the brutal way he's achieving those crime statistics. He's already disregarded El Salvador's constitution once, and with the amount of control he has it's absolutely reasonable to fear he will do so again.

Andrew Perpetua's visually confirmed losses for June 1st: https://twitter.com/AndrewPerpetua/status/1797152161857466569 --- Current day list with all sources: http://losses.ukrdailyupdate.com --- About yesterday's losses: > I didn't post yesterday's vehicle losses because yesterday was a trainwreck for me, and the data isn't done, and it might not be done for a while, so those numbers will probably never get posted as a stand alone list. But they will exist in the database, and in our heart. https://twitter.com/AndrewPerpetua/status/1797017047752143292
