Lol, no fucking way. I just looked it up and confirmed this is true. Can’t make this shit up.

This is a great point and matches my experience as well.

From what I’ve read, the initial strike not only killed the new leader’s father, but also his wife and child. I’m pretty sure he will not be willing to easily negotiate with the United States after something like that.

Exactly. It’s like they can’t read. Everyone knew this shit was gonna happen.

It’s always nice to have some wars in the backlog just in case we run out. Not like we share a common planet with common resources or anything.

It’s pretty crazy to me that zuck let an actual academic like Yann LeCun go for a kid like Alex Wang. Seems like some very short term thinking.

Because I’ve worked there.

No, it’s not because of that. It’s because he was legit a bad cto. No one at the company liked him.

Seems the attacker had family members recently killed by Israel https://x.com/ryangrim/status/2032204336244171027

Unfortunate we have to face local blowback for a war no one but Israel wanted in a region that has nothing to do with us.

Are you sure about that? I couldn’t find any sources stating that the US has formally been reduced to tier 3.

Something definitely broken in Fetterman’s brain https://x.com/DropSiteNews/status/2026748211914813850

Crazy how much of the world suffers because of the desires of one tiny county of 9 million. Would we really be doing any of this if not for Israel?

I assume either Netanyahu or Miriam Adelson.

It turns out “idiocracy” is actually a documentary.

I’ve lived in both and while the similarities are there, it’s a bit different. Singapore still has a majority non expat population while Dubai has only about a 10% local population. Singapore also invests heavily in local education with one of the highest densities of PhDs in the world.

For those of you not old enough to remember, this (“finish the job”) was famously the same mantra used for the Gulf War when George Bush Sr didn’t go after Saddam Hussain.

Well, his son took it to heart and went after Saddam a decade later in what is now universally seen as one of the stupidest wars the US every carried out.

It’s like these people learn nothing from history.

No they are in the room with him and his rich friends. The ones who profited off his crypto scams and insider trading.

Except a lot less fun. That one at least had cool lights, cool buildings, and flying cars. We got rotting infrastructure and Teslas.

Dubai was always an economy built on a bubble. As much as I hate how they treat foreign laborers and as much as I hate their current leaders, I have some respect for how far they were able to get with this model.

But ultimately, they are a country with little land, little water, terrible weather, and surviving on a vast expat population that has no path to citizenship and will always just see it as a destination to milk for as much money as possible.

I don’t see how such a model could ever be seen as sustainable in the long run.
