The Quran prohibits spying and other violations of privacy.

Plenty of countries in the world with uranium deposits that they are denied the right to make use of. Some of them export uranium but barely have electricity.

Traveling does wonders to people. Shame not a lot of people can afford it and even those who can not all travel.

And their response to the genocide and pogroms in Palestine proved their hypocrisy.

I wonder how Zionist Biden would feel -if it all- once Russia annexes parts of Ukraine. Probably how he felt about Israel annexing Palestinian and Syrian lands. His underling Blinken even defended Israel’s annexation of the Golan Heights.

End the war in Ukraine so that the US can double its war efforts in the Middle East. Is that Trump’s plan?

There is a chance that Trump will inadvertently weaken the US long term, but nothing is certain so until it happens I am not getting my hopes up. The article though is neocon propaganda, they don’t even mention the genocide in Gaza or pogroms in the West Bank.

Nuclear power should be adopted more

They shouldn’t be surprised at all. Other than his first term, there has been many clues.

Should have voted for Jill Stein or Claudia De la Cruz.

No, it is a parliamentary democracy.

A democracy is never a guarantee of favorable or progressive outcomes.

The people voted for this though. The secular dictatorship was replaced by a democracy, and this is something Sunni and Shia parties agree on with a majority in the parliament. The old (abolished) law was introduced in 1959 with the beginning of the republican era after the end of the monarchy in 1958.

Even the opposition to it doesn’t look that popular, not a lot of people:

The US put Iraq through sanctions, killed its scientists, and artists, and then invaded it and destroyed its infrastructure. The majority of Iraqis left through all that trauma had nothing but their religion institutions and tribal connections left, and through the democratic system the US imposed voted for this directly or indirectly. It sucks, but the destruction of Iraq started decades ago.

I don’t argue with Zionists, bots or otherwise. The humans are just as insufferable.

I don’t know if Netanyahu is glad now that the Iraqi resistance is attacking Israel. But he did a good job selling it to congress.

I must be getting old if Gnome 3.0 is considered a classic now. Gnome 2 (MATE) forever for me.

US sanction power is not like it was in the 1990s. I think most people don’t realize that.

Being poor is why I had a Chevrolet Spark once. I would have bought a Chinese car if I could.

I think they struck one or two aircraft carriers with ballistic missiles.

The USSR is part of the reason why Yemen, the poorest Arab country, has hypersonic weapons technology. Yemen literally has nothing to lose.

“What I’ve seen of what the Houthis have done in the last six months is something that — I’m just shocked.”

I’m not surprised. Yemenis are unlike their neighbors. They have a long history of being industrious and builders. The only thing they lack is plenty of natural resources. Otherwise Yemenis can do anything they set their minds to. They got their hands on missile technology when South Yemen was socialist and allied with the USSR, and after unification they kept developing their capabilities.

Scholz is on his way out though.

With cars they figured they were far behind and there were many patents on internal combustion engines that it made sense for Chinese companies with government directives to skip straight to battery electric vehicles. Maybe they will do the same with semiconductors, maybe not. I hope so but I hate to mix hope with insight or prescience.

China needs EUVs somehow. As for TSMC I can’t expect being distracted by the US is good for them
