How much money do I need to bring your country before I can be called royalty and collect taxes from each person?

The only reason it still exists is because the only people who can give away that power is the royal family at the moment.

Legalizing heroin isnt going to stop it coming in the borders it will just make it easier to sell. There are still gray markets in areas with legalized drugs now.

I know theres no proof yet but to me, Hamas had good reason to keep their hostages alive, they also thought it would help keep themselves alive. Israel was the one who wanted the hostages dead rather than hostages.

Just based on incentives alone, not even considering the difference in firepower, I’d say its more likely hostages were killed by IDF than Hamas.

The IDF killed more Israeli civilians than Hamas did on that day. They do not care about their people when it comes to being hostages.

The amount of comments in here treating real life like a game of Risk is honestly shocking and upsetting.

What do you all really think you would do differently if you were born in Gaza or Lebanon?

How many believe that?

His base doesnt give a shit about world war 3, they just want america to fuck off front the rest of the world.

I don’t believe trump would follow through on that, but thats what he’s promising.

Yeah thats the thing I’m stuck on, it seems like a rush thing, but I’m not sure what would make them blow them other than they knew the secret was out or about to be out already.

Except they barely knew what they were doing with stuxnet too.

Well then why are people framing it as some smart attack rather than revenge?

Since they compromised the supply chain to plant explosives, they could have also put other tracking equipment in. Its possible though that it would be too hard to conceal an outgoing signal from testing.

We probably will never know the exact details, but it just seems like a lack of creativity to me. Seems more like a military attack than a cyber ops style thing.

Is israel saying its a retaliation for that? Would make more sense.

I meant it more like, why blow up the pagers you spent all this effort to compromise. I would have thought that having access to those devices would be worth more covertly.

I suppose its possible the only thing they could manage to sneak into the devices was explosives though, since you have to take the board apart to find it. Its likely it looked like a board component too.

Or maybe she died because she was young and small.

You and all the people upvoting you are fucking insane. Justifying a little girl during like this is peak American coping mechanisms.

Now you are getting it! War is bad!

Because it changes nothing in the long run. So what exactly was so imminent that this had to happen?

This is not normal for cyber ops. The only thing really that makes sense is if they needed to buy time so set off the pagers. Otherwise they just set their compromised communications devices on fire and told them they did it.

Is there a high opinion of american made cars right now though, large or small? They have been very predatory in the past however many years.

Maybe people would want to save the american car industry if it served it’s customers better. I was hoping BYD would force american car companies to go back to trying to make a useful tool instead of a means to extract money.

America is a huge polluter too. Noones getting it right entirely. If you look at Chinas policy over the past ten years it appears they have been putting a big focus on it from the top down.

I could link you a bunch of american car graveyards too. America is hard to beat when it comes to greed, almost every other nation won’t allow their citizens to be treated so poorly, including China.

Of course if you are wealthy in america things are great, so theres that.

So essentially its just an over reaction? I mean that and the tiktok ban were some of the quickest legislation americans have seen lately. Maybe just media fear mongering?
