| https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=9ogdWPc7We0 Seems there might be a silver lining from America's trade war. No REM from China, no Israeli interceptor missiles. Yes, but that's also striking evidence that Israel always intended to drag the US into their war. Running out of interceptor missiles so qui... |

| Huh? Saying that comparing US’ democracy to Iran’s political system is a stretch is now “strawmanning” . This is a clear, defensible opinion, not a distortion of someone else's argument. What is strawmanning to you? No one has claimed that the US and Iran's political systems were comparable, so you... |

| The fact of the matter is that Israel is the problem here, they're the ones that refuse to accept offers to address their claimed concerns about security and have gone about attacking countries with reckless disregard for the legality or necessity of it. I don't dispute Israel and the US aren't man... |

| Are you just so bereft of ethics that you're just going to spread this propaganda? How many innocent people are you prepared to let Israel murder before you accept that Israel really is the bad guy here? wait, what? I just literally posted news feed. Look at your posts, you're very much complicit i... |

However do we know whether previous strikes on Iranian Uranium enrichment plants were successful enough to stave off their plans? In case funeral and matchbox live in self selected denial, Russia a... |

| Nonsense. The US Presidency is more or less fixed the same way that the Iranian Presidency is. The only difference is whether it's a figure that we can identify, or it's a bunch of oligarchs that mostly try to remain hidden. The Democrats haven't even bothered to let the primary voters choose the c... |

Lebanon and some other arab countries were getting f****d up anyway through proxy wars initiated by Iran through its groups; so why you the Leftist Wrongplanet ... |

| If you want to discuss regime change, America and Israel are the top of the list of regimes that deserve to be toppled. With that in mind, neither of them have the legitimacy to go imposing regime change on other states. But, if you want to make the argument that levelling Iran's infrastructure and... |

| wanting to overthrow a dangerous regime does not mean hating people. You are conflating the two. Had the US and UK not mollycoddled Mr Hitler (particularly Neville Chamberlain) and pre-emptively removed the Nazis its likely millions of innocent lives would have been spared. Do Israel and the US hav... |

| I personally say, let Iran wipe Israel off the map if they can. Israel doesn't have an inherent right to exist any more than the other countries in the region. Do you sincerely believe this? Yes, because I'm not a psychopath. Israel is well into the FAFO process as we speak. Why does Israel have a ... |

| ^^^ Finding themselves between a rock and a hard place Possibly, but if the US can stay out of the fight for a couple more weeks, we can perhaps get to the FAFO curve where Israel stops being such a bully in the region.

I suppose geospatially efficient work tasks in 3D can only happen when AI is integrated into robots. Although the integration of AI chips into human brains might happen before we get ... |

| It certainly could be, but I wouldn't count on it. Creativity isn't as simple as you've attempted to reduce it to, and if that's the premise AI is working from it shouldn't be surprising it's output is slop rather than art. I think the current LLMs are the equivalent of a 5 year old child. You are ... |

AI gets a lot of flack understandably, but in the near future I hope we can all use it as our own little workers, doing the stuff we don't want to or cannot deal with ourselves. The issue is that the helpful uses for it will probabl... |

| The US probably can't afford another middle eastern quagmire, so it's especially ironic to see the folks who campaigned on America first pivot to Israel first, let's redo Bush's mistakes but bigger when so much of the current Republican base hate neo-cons and their foreign policy ideas. I'm hoping ... |
