Imagine all the staff people who didn't realize "fought against Stalin in WW II" probably meant was a Nazi (Finns excluded, of course).

An argument that only works if Europe isn't fearful of Russia.

Did Iran really know the drones were going to be easily shot down?

Yes, but anyone who, say, completes and undergrad economics major should be capable of using a computer to check for negative drug interactions. Let them prescribe drugs after passing some test.

A smarter US would be trying to get them to join the US.

I wonder how long before AI makes substantial progress with string theory, which based on my limited understanding is based on geometry.

The most likely path to this resulting in WW3 is several other actors deciding that now is the time for military adventurism because of America's finite response capacity.

Related question: Does the military treat its troops better if you have universal conscription or if you force the military to compete in labor markets?

Tell her you want to move to a leftist state like Massachusetts or California that has similar laws to Europe. Tell her that America is so big thinking all American states are the same would be like an American thinking there is no real difference between living in Romania or England or an American being fearful of living in Spain because of the policies of the Hungarian government.

For reasons of entertainment, I'm hoping the next elected Senator from California is Meghan Markle. She has identity points, name recognition, and charisma. It would be funny if she ends up with more real power than the British royal family has.

But Trump will blame the war on Biden saying that Biden unfreezing Iran's assets enabled Iran and sent a signal to Iran that we would be OK with them attacking Israel. Trump would point out that during his presidency Iran didn't cause trouble because Trump did things like assassinate Iranian general Soleimani. Trump would claim that Russian invading Ukraine during Biden's but not his presidency is another example of how US perceived weakness causes war.

A competent US President would intensify the divisions within Canada so the US could get Alberta to become a state.

A fun trick when you get very annoyed with the customer service of some business. Say "I'm a Wikipedia Editor and I'm currently looking at your company's Wikipedia page and right now I intend to edit it to reflect your poor customer service." Weird how the Internet can empower a single person willing to make certain types of anonymous complaints.

While I'm not a tax expert, if you owe taxes, the IRS may seize and sell your assets to cover the debt. There's a risk that the assets might be sold for less than their market value, potentially increasing your effective debt. Additionally, a forced sale could trigger further tax obligations, and there is no guarantee that the IRS will sell the seized assets in a manner that minimizes tax liability.

If notable respectable figures continue associating with Hanania, it might signify a shift in cancel culture. These figures might argue that Hanania's genuine apology should suffice. Currently, individuals who have made racist remarks are offered little redemption even compared to those convicted of multiple violent crimes. With ever-changing definitions of racism, many important people could benefit from a system that forgives sincere apologies, like Hanania's. Moreover, associating with someone like Hanania, who undeniably made racially charged comments, could shield those who've made milder missteps in the past.

What are the chances that this leads to Israel attacking Iran? Iran appears to have been a supporter of Hamas. Netanyahu has seemingly been eager for a reason to dismantle Iran's nuclear weapons program. From Netanyahu's perspective, eliminating the program would make recent events a net gain for Israel. However, how would the global community respond to an Israeli assault on Iran? While many countries in the region would likely be pleased, they would need to feign outrage. Russia, having recently gotten weapons from Iran, would denounce the attack. But, given its diminished power, what action could Russia realistically take? Would Biden risk sanctioning Israel for such an action, particularly when his Republican adversaries would likely applaud it?
From the Wikipedia page on the proposal: "Under the endorsed design principles of the Referendum Working Group, the membership of the Voice would be selected by Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander communities across the country, with an enforced gender balance at the national level"
I'm guessing that "gender balance" is a form of cultural imperialism and not a big part of how Australian aboriginals governed themselves before whites arrived.
