It’s not even politics, It’s just math. NATO has superiority in economy, industrial output, operational equipment and manpower.
Plus they’re too close to Russia for asymmetric warfare rules.
I would bet on it, but I’d sure as hell wish we could all get along instead.
Russia has stated many things which are often contradictory and false.
Regardless, attacking NATO countries would be strategic insanity.
Sure thing “not genocide” Joe.
US investigated themselves and found themselves innocent of all blame in the murder of thousands of people. Israel was innocent too, funny that. No need to check.
The US as a country is wholly complicit in this genocide. Both their major parties are 100% in support of genocide. Their universities are investing millions in weapons factories that create the tools of the genocide. Their taxpayer dollars go towards directly funding the genocide. This after the 20 years long wars they caused in the middle east with the countless suffering caused by that.
I am disgusted at Israel and the US. Never forget what the US really is. How can any of us from “third world” countries see the US as anything better than the worst that China and Russia have done ? They’re all cut from the same cloth.
Mullvad has written a post about it Here.
FYI
The desktop versions (Windows, macOS and Linux) of Mullvad’s VPN app have firewall rules in place to block any traffic to public IPs outside the VPN tunnel. These effectively prevent both LocalNet and TunnelVision from allowing the attacker to get hold of plaintext traffic from the victim.
Android is not vulnerable to TunnelVision simply because it does not implement DHCP option 121, as explained in the original article about TunnelVision.
iOS is unfortunately vulnerable to TunnelVision, for the same reason it is vulnerable to LocalNet, as we outlined in our blog post about TunnelCrack. The fix for TunnelVision is probably the same as for LocalNet, but we have not yet been able to integrate and ship that to production.
I gotta say, i am really impressed with Mullvad. They’re not just a VPN seller. They write security compromise bulletins regularly and as soon as vulnerabilities show up and they actively lobby at the EU organs for more privacy laws. They really work and live their identity in every way.
It’s only incoherent if you were thinking the US was looking to uphold liberty and democratic values.
It’s not at all incoherent if you were thinking the US is upholding its industrial corporate complex, which sometimes happens to line up with humanitarian motives. It’s actually pretty coherent in that regard.
It’s one of those cases where correlation does not meet causation.
What i figure from this is that the only reasons the Democrat party doesn’t win more often in the US, is that they’re really, really, really bad at their jobs.
Like take Hillary for instance. She only lost because she managed to look more incompetent than Trump. Now Trump is doing his darnest that no one will be more incompetent than him, but by all the starts in the universe, genocide Joe will give him a run for his money
Stay tuned for the election with the worst presidential candidates that the US could produce. It’s so embarrassing, i fear my face might freeze in the cringe.
Personally I’d say score voting would make the most sense. Essentially it works like this, you get a list of parties and you vote them 1-5 on how much you agree with them. This changes the whole dynamics as you now aren’t choosing who will rule, but how much you agree with each party ideologically and forcing you to research on their proposed mandate plans. It also serves as sort of an evaluation of how do you think each party has been addressing the country’s issues before the election.
Mathematically, this may not ensure always the most happiness, but it ensures the least unhappiness compared to all current known voting methods (you can easily find research on how this was calculated in many papers on mathematics).
Personally i would also propose returning to the old Roman and the first proposed French republic system of having 2-3 consuls of the most voted for parties and they take turns proposing legislation to a senate that’s a direct seated representation of the voting results.
As an interesting tidbit, the reason we have a president/prime Minister with all the power in most western democracies, is because Napoleon altered the original proposed 3 consul system into a prime consul with all the power then minor ministers because he was aiming to become Emperor and wanted to centralize the power. Our democratic systems are strongly influenced by the first French republic post the French revolution.

Wow the US wants to do what ? A security force made of Palestinians and uh… foreigners, to oppress their own people and protect the settlers under a UN mandate and IOF raids ?
Wow. That is outstandingly stupid. Is the US using the same guys responsible for what happened in Afghanistan to dictate foreign policy again ? I think I’m starting to see what happened there.
They are motivating so many people to join Hamas right now, this conflict will last forever.
Where did you come from, where did you go, where did you come from Genocide Joe ?
From what i read about it, Apple has a walled garden but charges a flat fee for everyone and has no special deals. Everyone pays the same and they make a little money off of the store but also the hardware sold.
Whereas Google has been caught treating certain parties differently, such as Spotify, something called Project Hug, where they gave extra benefits to parties at risk of leaving the play store, among other unequal dealings.
So the crux of the question is not about the monopoly itself, but the fact that Google is treating market players differently and throwing its weight around to influence the market to its advantage.
The military industrial complex can’t profit from peace. The Israeli-Palestinian conflict is a gold mine.

Clickbait titled articles often do but purposefully obscure the topic. A title should inform the reader of the content, such as “Polish truck drivers protest EU war exemptions for Ukraine”.
Instead, click bait articles go for sensationalist non informative titles, like “You won’t BELIEVE what Polish truck drivers have done by the border to Ukraine!!!”
They are mad because of the economic exemptions the EU gave Ukraine to support the war has hurt their profits. Ukrainian truck drivers are making the best of it and taking deals in Europe that are normally more expensive and Ukrainians have no access to.
Fuck that clickbait. Why do journalists feel the need to continue this annoying practice ?
For real. I always skip show intros, i find them a pointless waste of time and resources that I’m just going to skip anyway, but this show and Game of Thrones are the exceptions because of the cool songs. I am not familiar with Trème though.
We’re billions of people on the planet. Most jobs don’t even pay enough to feed a couple of people. I believe that there is an oversaturation of people on the planet and this has caused a devaluation of their labor.
Europe would have remained feudal for quite a longer time if the population collapse caused by the black plague hadn’t happened and caused the demographic changes that it did. Without the plague, peasant labor would be plentiful and the status quo would not have changed. However, with the population reduction, the class in power had to concede to enough changes that brought about the Reinassance and the Industrial era quickly after.
In the Bronze age, without the climate changes that brought about cold and dry conditions and triggered the fall of the city states ruled by an oppressive theocratic class, humans would have still been tied to those stifling conditions for longer and wouldn’t have brought about the classical era.
With the onset of AI and advanced robotics, population collapse will allow people to see their labor valued adequately, instead of just more and more people in the workforce working more hours and getting paid less and less, doing meaningless busy work jobs to pay for things that they don’t need or enjoy, like crypto, gambling or online cam girls. A controlled collapse by fertility is not only non threatening, it is also desirable and the most acceptable way to cull numbers a bit. We need this, otherwise, the base of the pyramid will only get wider while the top will only get slimmer. Tragedy breeds suffering, but also change and we NEED change. The problem is the transition, but after the transition, we’ll be in a better place as a society and we will bring about change.
Trump would only win if the Democrat party found someone seemingly more inept than him.
I am impressed that the Democrat party managed to present not one, but two outstandingly incompetent candidates. In a row. That’s some bottom of the barrel advanced scraping techniques right there. They even managed to get a representation of both sexes.
I’m sure Mr. Biden will be terribly distraught, as soon as he is able to understand what’s happening around him at the moment.
