People will always be people - willing to ignore anything if there’s enough profit involved.
I wish them all the luck they deserve.

Sucks for the UK, but I’m just glad there’s a Starlink rival in the works.

The Metropolitan Police said that a 39-year-old man is wanted by them for breaching restrictions placed on his activities, and is also separately being investigated for "any possible" fraud offences.
What’s the point of including this paragraph, when the story doesn’t include a name or photo? It’s completely useless.

Under other circumstances I’d be willing to accept the “mercy killing” argument, but burning someone alive is NOT mercy. This woman needs help.

Maybe I’m remembering wrong, but hasn’t the U.S. gone to war without congressional approval a bunch of times?

I’ve only seen a handful of articles from these folks, but they seem pretty thoughtful. This one is no exception. My favorite part:
Given the number of variables, however, much will depend on the wisdom and restraint of Trump, Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu, Iranian Supreme Leader Ali Khameini, and the people around them. And that does not bode well in the short or long term.
This is the closest I’ve ever seen them get to humor, but it works.

Did this pic make anyone else think of Robotech? I half expect a Zentradi to climb out of that cockpit.

From The Middle East Eye:
It [the Samson Option] is in stark contrast, say analysts, to the doctrine of Mutually Assured Destruction (MAD), where if one nuclear power pre-emptively attacked another, then the targeted nation would still have time to retaliate, ensuring neither would survive.
I must be missing something important. I don’t understand why the Samson Option is “in stark contrast” to MAD. I mean, everyone still dies, so they seem pretty similar to me.

The EU (and the rest of the world) should also be much, much more open to permanently eliminating the need for any fossil fuels.
Besides, a “peace deal” with Ukraine won’t be reliable. It will only mean that Putin has run out of options, not that he’s had a change of heart. Anyone with half a brain knows Putin can’t be trusted. He _will_ go back on his word. Sanctions should remain in place for as long as he remains in office.
