Uproar in Heaven from 1964. Freely available on YouTube.

The Iranians essentially practicing piracy in the strait is unambiguously counter to international law (UNCLOS), and breaks one of the fundamental elements of how world diplomacy has worked in the modern world. What the Iranians are doing is in fact an act of war against all nations which ships the Iranian stop.

Countries like those in the EU are keeping a low profile right now, because Trump has made such a giant mess of the diplomacy. But long term, I can’t imagine they will let this fly.

Also, the law to release the files was pushed through by the Democrats.

Even if we find out there is a Democrat in the files, that does not mean the Democrat party as a whole is irredeemably compromised. Bad apples can and will exist everywhere, the problem is only when the organization doesn’t try to remove them. By passing the law to release the files, the Democrat party is doing exactly that.

The damning thing for the Republican party is their coverup of the files.

It would in much of Europe. As in not legally disqualify you, but you would not get elected.

Can you imagine the screeching of Fox News, if Obama had done that even in jest? And Trump is not joking, Trump never “jokes”.

Yup. 79% of Republicans approve of how Trump is handling the Iran War. No reasonable and informed person can hold that opinion - we are not dealing with serious people here.

Are you saying he is stupid, because his claim is not true?

But if he thinks he has corrupted the system enough that it works, he is evil not stupid.

Why do you think this fungus would absorb more radiation than e.g. a similar volume of water?

Sony loves making their own custom formats.

Stuff is just getting more expensive, because of demand competition with AI. There is no reason to think that production for non-AI computing will ever hit literally zero.

Remember, the Trump administration has insisted it is not a war. I guess it is instead a 3 day special military operation?

And like Putin, Trump will keep doubling down forever, instead of rationally withdrawing from the war and thereby admitting defeat.

And what does that difference matter?

Trump apparently took the decision to go to war against Iran ignorant of the Iranian threat to close the Hormuz straight. Even I knew Iran would do that.

The whole reason to go to war with Iran was to stop the Iranian nuclear program… which Trump himself cancelled Obama’s deal to stop.

Harris would not have been Bibi’s little bitch.

There is no reason to think that Harris would have gone to war with Iran.

Dems/Repubs will happily play hot potato together forever,

Well, yes, there is a perverse incentive here. It sucks.

Basic math and game theory still means that voting third party is self-destructive, in the current US climate.

But I have actually been surprised by how fluid the UK system is right now. They have third parties, in a FPTP system. But the slavish Republicans voters seems to make that not viable in the US.

Well, enjoy your Iran war, after refusing to vote for Kamela Harris. Harris would not have invaded Iran.

So the title is

Group with GOP ties backs Green Party’s Jill Stein with ads, mail

Seems pretty direct to me, right?

ChatGPT foreslog mig “causal insinuation” som et navn på den retoriske manipulations-teknik som er brugt. Hvilket vist ikke er et officielt begreb, men virker som en ret god beskrivelse.

Sådan kan det læses - men titlen skriver ikke “fordi”, så meget snævert læst er der ikke påstået årsagssammenhæng.

Det er selvfølgelig med vilje, at titelforfatterne har gjort dette. Meget lig Betteridge’s law of headlines, hvor journalister har en tendens til at skrive spørgsmål, som de godt ved de ikke kan stå inde for. Titlen kunne lige så godt have været “Tabte Frederiksen valget, fordi hun stod fast mod Trump?”.

I am always surprised at how cheap it would be to save the world - for example decarbonize to stop global warming. $10 trillion is 1/4th the US national debt. That kind of stuff is payable, if we want to.
