Definitely. In the past I hesitated to express my thoughts that Israel is a settler colonial apartheid state and now it's a very prominent and accepted viewpoint.
Sure there's a lot of pushback, still, but it's not an unspeakable accusation like it used to feel like. Even "centrist" eyes can see this viewpoint now
Former Canadian diplomat Colin Robertson said that when diplomats go to observe a combat area, their safety is not guaranteed.
"Things happen which certainly are not probably intentional on the part of the Israeli government, but these things have happened in the past. We've had Canadian observers killed, for example, when we were doing peace monitoring in Vietnam and in other situations," he said.
Oh hey it's once again the "freedom advocate" who is always spouting off support for the most fascist oppressive shit going on in the world. I should learn how to block in this new app
That was my point, really. I guess if you're thinking of military training as resistance training then we agree. I think training our young men and women to immediately blow up in tanks and planes and die in trenches isn't going to be useful.
I guess I don't see the Canadian military training a bunch of Che Guevaras.
I'm not sure what you think my comment is saying but yeah United States is a danger and so too might Russia or China be, all are beyond our capabilities.
Our conventional military forces, even with mandatory service, won't compete against our threats.
If anything the training will be useful for the deserters who then go on to form rebel and guerrilla factions, similar to what happened in Iraq and Afghanistan when the armed forces melted away into an underground resistance.
Canada isn't going to fight and win a symmetric war with any of our adversaries. I think our able bodied people and military equipment would be better used off the conventional battlefield.
And that's what leads to instability and ultimately the collapse of that government. The reality of the situation is that a narrow referendum to leave Canada will be met with incredible resistance and it's not going to happen.
A supermajority would be harder to resist both internally and externally. That's the point.
People forget that crashes are a debugging tool indicating an error. Silent errors can be much more dangerous. C and C++ in particular need to be careful not to overwrite random memory for example.
Yes the consequences for JS failures are less severe and so JS can get away with it, but a crash is a way to know your program isn't doing what you thought it was, properly.
It just so happens that JS is used in contexts where nobody really cares, and errors aren't a big deal, cheap and fast wins.
