I mostly agree with your points, but even the article title very clearly says 'could'.
Russia had been encroaching on Ukrainian borders for years before launching their full invasion, and I'm not aware of similar actions against other European nations. It may be fearmongering, but unifying and strengthening NATO is in an important step to take to prevent Putin from going even further. He is heading towards his latter years now, and he seems to like the idea of restoring the 'glory' of the USSR and showing the West how big and stronk Russia is.
Additionally, in a larger-scale war with other, better armed European nations, Russia might not hold back on using their nukes this time round.

I think this means that the y axis represents the deviation from the mean score, not the actual 'factuality score'.
Their system isn't set up to realistically accommodate third parties. Without actually overhauling the entire electoral system (something neither major party wants) the only way to get any third party representation would be a massively coordinated grassroots campaign that would require a huge amount of funding to overcome all the media attacks it would suffer.
In effect, as the system currently works, a third party vote is a wasted vote unfortunately.
Exactly. I feel sorry for everyone in the US who has to live through another Trump term, but from my outsider perspective the Dems really screwed themselves on this one.
I never saw a single person say Trump would be better for Palestine, so I'm not sure what you're on about...
As for complaining about Dems and not Trump, that makes sense to me because it's assumed that Trump is shit, but Dems pretend to be better than they are.
Zionism is a colonizing venture and therefore it stands or falls by the question of armed force. It is important to build, it is important to speak Hebrew, but, unfortunately, it is even more important to be able to shoot.
We cannot offer any adequate compensation to the Palestinian Arabs in return for Palestine. And therefore, there is no likelihood of any voluntary agreement being reached. So that all those who regard such an agreement as a condition sine qua non for Zionism may as well say "non" and withdraw from Zionism. Zionist colonisation must either stop, or else proceed regardless of the native population. Which means that it can proceed and develop only under the protection of a power that is independent of the native population - behind an iron wall, which the native population cannot breach.
That is our Arab policy; not what it should be, but what it actually is, whether we admit it or not.
It's how long this has been allowed to go on for that disgusts me. The images from a year ago were awful enough to show how much Gaza had already been devastated.
South Africa's genocide case against Israel was submitted to the ICJ in December 2023 FFS.
It doesn't have to change anything. They can be correct, and I can find the irony funny at the same time. If they hadn't mentioned Russia for absolutely no reason then I wouldn't have felt the need to say anything.
Am I blind or does the article not indicate how many companies trialled it?
Also, this alone would significantly improve my job satisfaction:
Reports from the trial showed that the frequency and duration of meetings was reduced by 60%, which makes sense to anyone who works in an office – many meetings could have been a simple email.
I don't know if this was a test run or an actual operation of some kind, but Russia evidently wants to carry out more of these attacks, as they have been mapping out these cables for years now, and have recently been running national internet outage drills.
It would seem that you have not even done some preliminary research on the subject.
Trying to have a discussion with someone who has very little knowledge of this issue is not an easy task, nor is simplifying it.
It is a long and complex history, and whoever you talk to is going to have different answers about how long it is, what happened, and why it happened.
While nuance and much important additional information is lost in Wikipedia articles, they are a very useful resource for understanding the main points, and they also tend to be one of the least biased sources. If you are genuinely interested in learning more, this is a good place to start:
Let me tweak that for you so you can maybe understand what's going on here:
