It would be more impressive if he implemented the tariffs first and promise to remove them when a cease fire has been achieved. Everybody will assume he'll chicken out otherwise, including Russia.

Because they thought not much people would vote for it and it certainly would not get a majority. The aim was for a sizable minority to use for political manoeuvering. Actual winning and having plans for that was inconceivable. But they've seriously misread the people's sentiment.

It was in self defence /s

Within the universe of plastic chemicals, we're looking at the last academic count at about 16,000 chemicals that are used or present in plastics."

Dr Symeonides says only one-third of those chemicals appear to have been evaluated for their potential hazard, and about "75 per cent" of those evaluated have been identified as hazardous.

So basically flood the world with chemicals without care if they're dangerous and be very surprised when bad things happen.

That was my physics teacher.

"So materials shrink as they get colder."

"Ma'am, doesn't ice expand?"

"We don't talk about that."

There is a power struggle going on in the CCP and Xi is losing.

Seems a good way to destroy the legitimacy of the government. That's not representing the will of the people.

People from Southern Europe are now vacationing up north to get away from the heat.

They've build their entire regime on appearing strong and threatening others until they're so scared they do what you want. That's on a personal, party and country level.

It doesn't need to be. It just had to require material that's more expensive than even a rich angry person can afford.

They have sonar, underwater surveillance drones and some even their own submarine. These guys spared no expense.

But in reality these things have armor and bullet proof glass. Companies sell systems with disorienting light and sound, sonar and underwater surveillance, anti drone systems and also roaming drones. They're floating fortresses.

Let's also remove protection for corporations above a certain revenue level. No more limited liability. If you're a shareholder you're personally responsible for anything what happens. Bankruptcies include personal fortunes.

Haha. If you ask Dutch children what they think about something, you'll get brutal honestly on the edge of offending.

So the Deep State was in Israel all along

Like how Hamas always had hostages and the IDF only had prisoners but they were functionally the same and treatment of IDF prisoners included torture and rape.

The article says it's because of aggressive propaganda campaign from Israel. Some also say because of western islamophobia. Maybe financial interests?

Oh, I'm not criticizing Israel. That's a done conclusion. I'm questioning why politicians in other countries go along with this. As far as I can see, and that's clearly shown, there's very good lobbying, information campaigns and lots of money. Even the Eurovision contest was full of money and influencing. I'm assuming influence alone can't do this, certainly not after protests. That leaves money. Who has a lot of money, meaning trillions, and reason to use it as leverage? Certain banks. Of course that's forbidden to say, but that omerta thing going on is now part of the stereotype.

Then better stop the genocide before antisemitism gets normalized. It will increase the longer this continues.

China could also attack Taiwan. That'll go much smoother when USA is alone and distracted
