Not true for NATO expansion argument, which has very deep roots, going back to the 1999 NATO-Yugoslavia war specifically (which is when US-Russia relations started heading south generally). As regards NATO-Ukraine, it seems to have picked

Currently seems to be basically crashing -- you hit "Check Everything" on a piece of Sample Text, the little wheel spins around for a bit, then it stops and leaves the original text unchanged.

What others said + East Germany in 1953 + the threats to Poland in 1980. The photos from the former, in particular, are practically iconic. How is it possible to miss this history?

A forward-mouth vowel followed by a rear-mouth vowel. So you catch the latter on the downstroke. Makes sense.. Unfortunately the video is way too long, and barely seems to get to the meat of the topic. In fact we'd have to say - it

Snake oil on so many levels. Not the least of which is the fact that there don't appear to be any surviving recordings of Turing's actual voice.

I have a hard time believing that google would have fired people where the sum of their recorded actions couldn't be reasonably construed to be disruptive. From the article: “When I got there, there were probably 20-ish people sitti

This is a gross misreading of what the article actually said. The real meat the article (as reflected very clearly in its original title, not the mangled caption that was unfortunately used for the post; and throughout the article body itse

Google has explicitly denied that Project Nimbus has anything to do with defense or military use. And yet the IDF and other security agencies in Israel are proudly boasted of as clients in their own press releases.

Programs such as those offered by Xfinity are only available in select areas. That's why the ACP is necessary: to force the larger carriers to offer subsidized service equally available to all.

Unfortunately Putin's idea of "good relations with Ukraine" is a situation where the latter is greatly reduced in territorial scope, and whatever remains is kept as a pliant vassal state. With thousands of civilians slaughter

It is if your idea of an "efficient" system is one with baked-in discrimination and lots of false positives. Targeting, not so coincidentally, folks in lower income brackets.

You're doing fine. Hey, thanks. As to views of the regional situation, I'm in the "actually, it's not that complicated" camp. But on the whole, I think we're good for now.

I don't think you can reasonably be taken aback by the suggestion that that's what you're doing. To my eyes it does read as a misattribution on your part (especially given that my commentary was explicitly timeboxxed, and u

You're not going to ligate your way to a Jaffa that is part of a sovereign Palestine. That's not what I'm doing or even suggesting. You'll have to pick that scab with someone else.

It was just such an eye-poppingly bad analogy that I felt I had to chime in. Also, you seemed perplexed at where the term "colonization" fits in. Well, the post-1948 situation in Jaffa (and certain other places I'm sure you

Jaffa is to Tel Aviv what Saint Paul is Minneapolis. A deeply broken analogy. Jaffa, unlike Tel Aviv, was 70 percent Arab in 1945 and was considered the cultural and economic capital of Palestine. It was attacked in a major offensive by t

Apology accepted, and I appreciate the thoughtful clarification. I'd pick up on the other topic (the Nation-State law, etc), but apparently there's a very insecure person out there right now who is vindictively flagging nearly all

There's plenty of videos with people chanting "river to the sea" which is the slogan of the Hamas that calls for the destruction of Israel. First off, that isn't what the slogan generally means as used by protestors.

There were mitigating factors, to be sure. But it sounds like, to a first-order approximation, we agree: the land was taken by force. I'm not trying to flatten history - just to get to the basic point. The other aspects that you&#x2

Invasion implies this was illegal and/or done using force, neither of which is true of the Jews that moved to Palestine. "Invasion" perhaps isn't the best term to use, as it implies some sort of one-shot military deal.

We're still waiting for an answer to this most crucial question that you were asked above, as to what should happen once Palestine becomes truly "free": What do you think should happen to the 9 million Israeli citizens o
