They can buy 18 F-35s with that money so they can steal more resources

These institutions were magnificent stores of soft power abroad. Voluntarily dismantling the thing you built for some very small political points on the domestic stage is really very smart.

I'm split on this. Few things are more stressful than Trump attacking yet another country on a Saturday (it's always on Friday night or Saturday; I believe so that markets can't react) and having to wait a minimum of 24-48 hours to exit a vulnerable position. This massively benefits larger firms with access to liquidity you can't access from your brokerage account.

This is just shitty writing. The final season of Stranger Things did this and it made me pick up my phone out of boredom.

As a professional in trading, this just sounds exhausting. But, I suppose they're just clawing back some of the dark pool flow, which would be a net positive.

I recall that glyphosate itself might be ok, until it's mixed with POEA to increase potency. POEA is banned in Europe, but not in the US.

The imagination can be impacted at nearly infinite distance

It's a pentagon plot device to make you have a vague sense of fear of very intelligent, yet very stupid and bad people out there.

So few hard facts. This is just another story to create fear, uncertainty, doubt and a vague pretense to bomb more people somewhere, anywhere, please!

The Biden administration increased ICE funding and promoted its expansion: https://ancillary-proxy.atarimworker.io?url=https%3A%2F%2Fimmigrantjustice.org%2Fp...

Truman was proud, even though most impartial historians say it was unnecessary to win the war against Japan(it was already won). He wanted to send a signal to the USSR, which was our ally at the time. The US as a whole, and in its official statements has never condemned the action.

Russia isn't saying they're doing this. This is Western countries conjecturing that Russia might do it, so the West better do it first.

I also think Russia would avoid nuking half the world. Only one nation has used nuclear weapons against human targets and they are completely unrepentant.

While I seriously doubt Russia will use a doomsday device in space(eg a device that ruins space access for decades or centuries), the militarization of space is underway. SpaceX is actively working on Starshield and that will likely piggyback on Starlink satellites, thus making them legitimate military targets in a conflict. In contrast, Starlink by itself is more like how trains and railways can be used by the military, but have primarily civilian purposes.

I'm pretty sure that's how the current AI CEOs view the general public already
