Seems to be what the text says… and let’s not forget the US president is not afraid of economical or military action.

My best guess is that the text is a misrepresentation, because Trump’s speech was completely focused on exterminating people inside the US borders. But without that context, yes, looks like it’s about every other country.

Brazilian tariffs are actually smaller than the ones the US imposed. The reason you can’t find anything below 190% of the original price isn’t just the tariffs.

That said, yeah, they are already too large.

Well, it’s the correct court to judge it.

Or you meant “how come someone even though the opposite?”

I don’t have an answer for that. There’s that guy that got a powerful position in some other country that keeps ordering that people do those nonsensical stuff, and I can’t really understand where he takes his ideas from.

I really love that the appropriate response to it is “Oh, God. Please make it not happen” instead of laughing at the ridiculous idea.

It’s well documented that he organized several murders with the goal of establishing the military dictatorship. Yep.

The added features made it harder to deploy, came with some bugs, and overall traded a simple design for community-oriented features that IMO were a negative value overall.

IMO, the Gogs dev was correct. If you look at that community input and what Gitea became, I was glad to use the version that rejected it.

But I don’t know how it compares with Forgejo.

That would be the WTO membership agreement.

PIX does not violate it. But even if it did, like any other country on Earth, Brazil has an endless list of US violations that it could claim it’s remediating.

It’s not a middle finger to Trump. The Brazilian government has had that position for a long time.

A long time ago the Japanese government decided that the entire country producing only one kind of food is bonkers, and started forcing farmers to diversify.

Jump to a handful of decades later, and the diversification effort was kept every ear, with people complaining that they can’t keep it forever, and the government claiming that it never caused any problem. Repeat that again and again, and well, finally it has caused some problem.

The police, persecution and two independent levels of the Judiciary found him to be the central player on the Petrobras scandal that you talked about (and either way, it was created while he was the president). He was the central player on the scandal of car companies paying him (personally) to avoid paying taxes. He inherited the position of central player on the scandal of construction companies paying bribes.

There were dozens of other crimes. He was right on the middle in most of them. Including the one where he used taxpayer money to bribe representatives and senators.

Cut the bullshit.

It now seems that the arrest was for more political rather than criminal reasons

That’s just false.

They rewrote the law so that the judges that judged were the wrong ones, decided that this invalidated the judgement that already happened, and that no existing judge had the authority to rule over the case. He wasn’t deemed non-guilty of anything, no evidence was found wrong, and no crime was corrected.

If he stops making newsworth content, the news will be tempted to fill their space with other, less egregious corruption scandals.

So, I don’t expect him to go out free, but I really expect him to keep just enough freedom he needs to keep throwing shit around.

A trade surplus doesn’t mean they are going well.

Total exports increasing does. But it’s only half of the picture.

I don’t think the US military complex consider that “less undesirable” than basically any other possible outcome.

… well, it may be better in their minds than an asteroid destroying Earth before they can cash-out. Maybe. I’m not sure about this one…

So, they wished the increased spending to the monkey paw and got exactly what they were wishing for: countries are cancelling orders of complex US equipment all over the world, and Europe is developing a military industry to compete with them.

No one can cut off the US oil supply.

Well, if the US invests on being able to use its own oil without mixing with anything else, the can become true.

Not to mention they could simply seize oil haulers for themselves with their navy.

A few times, yeah. The world won’t react well to the US specializing into constant piracy.

Hum… I only disagree on that it looks like the entire reason Israel is attacking is that Netanyahu isn’t firmly in power.

If Israel starts getting seriously hit, I’d expect him to fall. But the consequences of that can go both ways.

You test your backup by recreating your system, either in a local environment or in some cheap simulated one.

It’s even better if you write a manual with the steps you needed. And try to follow (and update it) when you do it again.

AFAIK, it’s not clear if the CIA ever killed a president.

They surely gave guns and taught other people how to do it. But I don’t think they ever did it themselves.
