The Biden White House has also maintained the tariffs on Chinese products worth $370 billion imposed by predecessor Donald Trump.
That’s a hell of a sentence :) I guess we can agree on some things… Tarrifs on china, truly bipartisan…
Hey, I threw a few humorous bits in there… ;)
Soviet Union was big, included many states. Socialist economy imploded, Soviet Union became Soviet non-union. States declared sovereignty as independent countries (mass brexits, kinda?).
Russia, who used to be able to socialize assets from all the smaller countries, wants to be able to socialize the assets again, and as a bonus, is salty because some of those countries are hooking up with NATO, which is by and large a union of capitalism…
Instead of trying to create a union again, and getting others to join via diplomacy or negotiation, Russia is just trying to press its neighbors into joining the reformed union via military occupation, and hit a slight snag with Ukraine, because all this shit is a little too recent for Ukraine to have forgotten how shitty a lada is.
Yeah, it’s funny and nobody had mentioned it, so I did ;)
There’s no context to the question?
At face value, no, there’s no technical reason you can’t run a Plex server and a lemmy instance on one computer :)
Word of the drawdown came ahead of a visit by Secretary of State Antony Blinken to the region and after the Biden administration bypassed Congress for the second time this month to approve an emergency weapons sale to Israel.
That weapons sale was a few hundred mil worth of artillery shells… I sincerely hope that and the draw back of troops aren’t actually related and it’s just happenstance that it got mentioned here.
If they allow international journalists access to the area, we’ll either get better information about what’s happening, or the numbers will go down…

Theres a very easy way to sort out the issue of bias that’s gonna be inherent in journalists reporting an alleged bias against journalists…
(From NPR)
Over a month into the war in the Gaza Strip, international news organizations have little, if any, access to Gaza. Israel, which is bombing Gaza in response to the deadly Hamas attack on its soil, controls access. And with the exception of brief tours with a limited number of reporters, Israel has not been granting journalists access to the region.
Address that and the answers will come…
Bomb the manger on Christmas…
Is isreal really that oblivious to world opinion and how it might affect them? Seems that way…
Title reads like it’s an article on the lack of depth in US media in the middle east in general, content seems to be borderline unrelated…
The lack of depth in US media is a solid point. Why not write specifically to that?
My opinion is that it’s investors.
Plenty of people out there buy houses for cash, spruce them up, and sell them for profit to extract some of the equity inherent in real property. Over time, they collectively push up the perceived value by force, and occasionally, the people who are the ultimate source of that equity, the ones looking to buy a permanent home, will stop buying.
There’s been a chunk of time recently, a decade or maybe more, where those permanent home seekers, the true source of the equity, haven’t been buying property. COVID exasperated the issue, because the flippers went fucking crazy for a couple years and inflated the amount of non-homes. Now they want their equity back out, but nobody who wants an actual home is looking to buy one because there isn’t enough value for them.
So prices have to come down before the actual source of equity starts buying again. The bubble has to deflate some.
Again, the entirety of this statement is simply my personal opinion, so grain of salt, but this is what pure logic and critical thinking suggests is the true mechanism :)
Israel has never been the abuser, and throughout their short lifetime as a state they have only abused.
I believe you need to edit that… Not in the context of you being “wrong/right” or anything opinion based like that, just that its contradictional… I don’t think it’s what you meant to actually say is all :)
Explains Starfield pretty well IMHO. It’s a beautiful blueprint, and will become a beautiful game once mod support drops and the player base takes over the questing system (and they already have a solid start tbh. It’s clunky to mod the game currently, but well worth it).
I could see how a guy like that might reach and end state of ::: “ok now just go do all of it again, but it’s different now because reasons” :::
Oh little town of Bethlehem?
I was intentionally unspecific, but since we’re here…
I absolutely defy the implication that US credibility is in any way whatsoever reflected by trump… Even if he manages to get elected again, he’d still obviously not be representing all of the US…
It’s like saying all Canadians are super liberal because they elected Trudeau… People know better.
I’d go with “reputation”, but not credibility.
