Time Magazine How Far Trump Would Go By ERIC CORTELLESSA / PALM BEACH, FLA. Donald Trump thinks he’s identified a crucial mistake of his first term: He was too nice.

Re: UKRAINE WAR - 2024 thread
To keep Ukraine safe from its autocratic neighbor, we forced it into a situation where it would be at war, and now it's destroying it's own precarious and corrupt democracy while millions are displaced and hundreds of thousands die and this is the sane, preferable outcome to Russian oligarchs givin...

Re: Israel orders mass 'evacuation' from Northern Gaza, humanitarian crisis certain to ensue
What I don't get is, how does Israel benefit from that? I mean the news organisations have for months been pointing out how much of a powder keg the whole region is and how many powers have it out for Israel. Israel doesn't; Netanyahu does. The instant the war's over, he loses an election and goes ...

Re: Israel orders mass 'evacuation' from Northern Gaza, humanitarian crisis certain to ensue
I wouldn't be surprised if Biden and his administration lash out at Netanyahu out of sheer anger and desperation. Netanyahu isn't looking to give Biden much of a choice in the matter. He's simply not behaving as an ally; even if Israel is, Bibi is not. His government has been flagrantly ignoring to...

Re: Israel orders mass 'evacuation' from Northern Gaza, humanitarian crisis certain to ensue
Translation; Netanyahu annoying the Haredim like this risks blowing his majority and forcing an election he seems doomed to lose. That might be the idea. It gives him, and his political party, a way out of the war, while leaving someone else to have to clean up the mess. But also lands Netanyahu wi...

Re: US passes bill to ban TikTok unless Chinese owner sells platform
My wife was watching something last night that said the real reason the US wants to ban TikTok is some rich asshole wants to own it, can't, so he's trying to get the government to ban it to force a sale. No idea if that's true. I mean, Steve Mnuchin and Bobby Kotick are both hovering over this like...

Re: US passes bill to ban TikTok unless Chinese owner sells platform
From what's been reported, the bill will ban the app from U.S. based app stores. I don't know if it will also IP block existing installations from the United States but it didn't sound like it. In any case, a bunch of Senators want to hold hearings before moving on the bill, so it isn't going to pas...
