Don’t they know that the G7 is the international community?

Of course they are. They’re working to manufacture our consent to regime change in Iran, which they’ve wanted since 1978 when their puppet regime was overthrown. It’s 2003 all over again.

The Foundations of Geopolitics was written by a fascist who is more popular with European & American fascists than with his own government or people.

Maybe you should read The Grand Chessboard—written by someone who had actual influence in US government geostrategy—specifically the sections on Ukraine and the eastern expansion of NATO.

Yes, but ironically.

We’ll see. Fascist states aren’t known for adhering to international norms or laws

My visa application got rejected for posting a watermelon emoji on Myspace in nineteen dickety two.

Yes, it’s fine. The issue isn’t with that post. It’s with this one, specifically with the external link preview, which isn’t Lemmy’s most reliable feature. It may not be an issue that OP can mitigate, and they may not need to, unless they intend to post links to their blog posts often.

I don’t think this is a crossposting issue; I think it’s an external link preview issue.

Some eat up pro-AI drivel, some others anti-AI drivel. Tech bubbles are a wild ride. At least it’s not a bullshit bubble like crypto or web3/nft/metaverse.

Reddit-ass geopolitical experts.

It’s as if some people will believe any grammatically & semantically intelligible text put in front of their faces.

I followed Adam until Feb. 2022, though it seems he doesn’t post about that anymore.

wouldn’t it be cheaper to just get falun gong & uyghur organs from china and drag them along the ground tho

Western liberals want Western propaganda only.

We’re not against Russian sources, but we tend not to use them so often, because they’re seldom well-received by Western liberals, whom we tolerate up to a point. They tend to be more accepting of Western leftist sources, and of course Western corporate sources are their gold standard.

Unit tests can’t win ’em all. That’s where things like integration tests, staging environments, and load testing come in.

The final layer of protection is the deployment strategy, be it rolling, canary, or blue-geen.

If Trump is to annihilate any institution, let it be the Federal Reserve System. Please try to nationalize the central bank. You’ll probably get assassinated, which I’ll take as a consolation prize.

🙄, but I’ll only address:

the US justification for using nukes in Japan was that forcing a surrender via attack against civilian targets prevented a years-long slog and invasion.

That was the US’s public-facing narrative, not its actual justifications. Japan was already ready to surrender at that point, but the US was worried that Japan might surrender to the USSR instead, and the US wanted an unconditional surrender, not one with conditions. It also wanted to scare the living shit out of the USSR, to discourage it from further spreading its influence. And it wanted to test the bomb on a city that had been left intentionally undamaged during the war, namely Hiroshima, for its own nuclear weapons research & development.

Hahaha North Koreans are NPCs amirite? 🍆✊
