  • Western world war concerns

  • Okay, last chance. Do you believe that it's more likely that the US started a conflict with Iran because of what-if report written in 2009 (when we were already in Afghanistan and Iraq) OR because Isreal is currently conducting a genocide and Iran is a direct threat to that?

  • Western world war concerns

  • You are correct. I have no doubt that when deciding to go to war with Iran, someone looked at the Brookings reports. But I doubt very highly that they made the decision to go to war BECAUSE of the reports from almost 20 years ago.

  • Western world war concerns

    Jump

  • That's not my point. My point is that these think tanks produce documents like that all the time, for countries all over the world. That's what they exist for. They get paid vast sums of money to have their interns come up with what-if scenarios. These aren't plans. They're proposals.

  • That's not the government planning an invasion of Iran in 2009. That's a think tank's proposal for an invasion. Saying that the US has been planning this since then is like saying we had planning the invasion of Iraq from the 90s when the Project for the New American Century drew up a proposal for the removal of Saddam.

    Here's a Brookings proposal for NK. There are reams and reams of the stuff.

  • Does anyone actually believe that the war with Iran is about distracting us from Epstein and not pressure from Israel? What are they supposed to be distracting us from in the first place? We knew basically everything that was in the last dump already. Epstein seems like the distraction to me seeing as how both "sides" of the political spectrum in America won't shut the fuck about it.

  • Israel used ‘white phosphorus’ in strikes on populated areas in Lebanon: Rights group

  • They used it extensively in Lebanon in the 80s too. If you got away with it once, why would you stop?

  • Scientists may have found the holy grail of quantum computing

    Jump

  • In this thread are a lot of terrible takes from people who don't seem to understand that quantum computers are already a thing? They're functional, and they can outperform conventional computers at limited tasks. They will probably never outperform them at everything, and that's okay. You will probably never own one, and that's also okay. You'll probably never own a particle accelerator. They really should have just called them something other than computers. Scientific advancement is a good thing.

  • What's the worst ACTUAL movie you've ever seen?

    Jump

  • Isn't that the whole point of the movie though? The girlfriend changes throughout basically every scene because she's just a fantasy. I don't think it was Kaufman's best work, but I thought it was pretty good.

  • I was going to say that piles stink, but we already have landfills. I'll write that into my will now.

  • Iran claims it has bombed Netanyahu’s office

    Jump

  • I was genuinely confused and wondering who had bombed America. I forgot that our terrorists are different because they do it for profit.

  • A hero in American education???

    Jump

  • This look eminently flammable.

  • Iran is bombing Qatar

    Jump

  • If there's ever a time to forget about work it's when bombs are falling. Stay safe, comrade.

  • Marx failed to consider the rise of Marvel SuperHero slop.

    Jump

  • It's crazy to think that the country we've been strangling for almost a century doesn't have blockbuster slop as a bigger priority because of CONunism.
