The US doesn't have a problem that would qualify people for Asylum yet. But man is it going to be wild when hundreds of thousands of Americans are fleeing the Christian Taliban.
Unless you're Russia, running away with a bunch of secret documents doesn't qualify you for asylum. And I'm not sure anyone is looking to get out of a dangerous country and into the war in Ukraine. At that point I think they'd just go volunteer with Ukraine.
In the military it's common to talk about groups of soldiers the same way you talk about equipment. Because the crucial information isn't their humanity, it's their utility to the war effort. "Destroyed" is usually used to mean a unit is so broken it must be combined with other units and different militaries have different definitions of exactly how many casualties that takes.
Dude was locked up for longer than we would have had him in prison. Time served was the right choice and reinforces that we're not the country assange wants to paint us as.
No. There is a massive difference between journalists and Assange. He didn't solicit evidence of crimes. He solicited any and all classified information. Then he straight up edited the stuff he did get to make it look like the US was committing war crimes. He also released diplomatic cables entirely calculated to damage the ability of the US to conduct diplomacy. Finally he straight up interfered in an election by releasing private emails that were hacked by Russian Intelligence. Not one to leave things to chance, he didn't exactly edit them this time. (That backfired hard when the Army just released all the footage and reports) Instead he added editorial titles to email chains he knew no one was really going to dig through. Just enough cover so conservative outlets could run attack ads and articles using his product.
Well no, because one of the rules for extradition is both countries must consider it a crime.
And before you answer, I'm pretty sure China has done exactly this from countries friendly to them. Which falls under the heading of journalists needing to be aware of the realities of where they're going. It's just not American journalists because we still have a bigger stick for now.
So again, let me know when the NYT is running information operations to discredit China. Exposing Human Rights violations is not what Assange is guilty of.
Yes, and I've seen the full video and Army reports debunking it. That's why it never went anywhere outside the far left and Russia/China. He had to literally edit the video and create an out of context snuff film before it suited his purposes.
I have in fact seen it. Multiple times. They embedded with anti coalition forces that were shadowing that convoy for hours. Embedding on either side is always a roll of the dice in a war zone. But nobody is going to eat an RPG because of Schroedinger's reporter. And yes it was an RPG, the ground forces found them afterwards and took pictures.
At the end of the day those reporters made a bad decision in a place that didn't have any room for bad decisions. That's all there is to it.
Sure, for the electrical part. But the door as a whole should Fail Open. You can pull over with an open door. You should not have to break the door to escape after a failure.

I think we're the first. Or rather in the first wave of intelligent life. It could take a thousand years just for a message to reach us. On the theory that life has evolved to this point as fast as possible over the life of our Galaxy, there's no filter. There just hasn't been enough time for contact to occur.
There is debate on this like there's debate on climate change. 9/10 legal scholars agree that the 14th amendment burdened the states with the same protections of rights as the federal government. That's why you're being downvoted. This is taught in grade school.
And you still missed the flight because the airport decided to run a single security checkpoint and the line for it wrapped around the entire ticketing area. The desk agent looked at her watch when you checked your bags and said, "good luck". There was still four hours to take off at that point.
Honestly? Every time I've had a hard time it's been because of security. Not the drill, that's fine, but the line. And it's but the TSA, they're working hard. It's closing checkpoints so only precheck travelers can go through them. Even to where regular travelers had only one of four checkpoints to go through. Which also caused massive chaos in the ticketing area.
Then there's the sheer fuckery that is LAX international. It is just incomprehensible without being there. For starters you get dropped off on the side of the road with a vague hand waive to walk "that way". No signs, no helpful people nearby, just 50/50 on walking the right way.

The productivity of the country is going somewhere. If it's not coming back to help the people then that tells you everything you need to know about the motives of their leadership.
That's the problem isn't it? Hamas was actually running a government. For reference about 13 percent of people in the US work for the government. Now think about their friends, contractors, and families. How high do you think that percentage is? How high does it become after you kill half that 13 percent while they're just trying to distribute aid and run hospitals?
They absolutely know what they mean they say they're going to destroy Hamas, but the West pictures Hamas solely as a bunch of fighters, separate from the hospitals, sewage departments, police, and etc.
Most of them are these days. Just look for 100% cotton and if they list summer/winter weight go to summer as long as it's just casual wear. For work in the woods the 50/50 blend is going to last longer, they just take twice as long to wear in and feel like crap before you get them there.

Fair and Balanced was Fox News' slogan for 20 years. They finally retired it because even they didn't want to pretend it was true anymore. I was just making a joke to go with your opinion.
Generally it refers to the decade you most associate with childhood memories. Usually babies are the decade before. So 80's babies are 90's kids. Of course this is all super generalized because humans are born everyday.

2026 Bolt could change that. Hopefully the ultium system is fixed up by then. Also base model Volvo EX30s are going to come from Belgium to maintain their mid 30's price point.
What we really need is the government to make a grant or low interest loan available to anyone with a parking lot and an electrical hookup to put in fast chargers. Everything from libraries to gas stations.
