Same reason they sabotaged the nord stream pipelines.

With how awful israel has been for its entire existence, it should not have a right to exist. In fact, the world has a right to make it not exist.

How would they do that without facing the wrath of the US?

If israel keeps attacking anyway, then what’s the point?

The nuclear deal with Iran that Obama led fell apart when Trump reneged, even though Europe, China, and Russia were all part of the deal and still in. In this case, Israel will keep attacking and has kept attacking even when the US has signed a deal, and since this has been the main issue, there cannot possibly be any deal that works under these conditions. The US is the largest supporter of Israel, so they’d have to pull that support and sanction before Israel maybe stops, but even with dropped support and sanctions, Israel is a death cult and may turn to using nukes to keep going.

No amount of negotiating will work because the rogue state of israel started this mess and is intent on keeping it going.

I wonder what it’s like having a government that can plan ahead.

We know about that extra 10% to 15% exception by custom.

They actually get angry and insulted at “just” 10% to 15%. The standard has somehow risen to 20% at a minimum!

They’re going to get that $300 billion one way or another.

The closure of the strait impacts helium supplies used for chip manufacturing which will impact data center build-out, so maybe the result is lower electricity costs overall.

Election interference only matters sometimes, I guess.

You think it’s not manipulated because institutions set up financial instruments that people can throw money into? Seeing as you felt the need to reply to the same message three times in rapid succession, I can see you’re very confident that bitcoin is not manipulated. Have fun with your totally-not-manipulated bitcoin propped up by printing.

Cryptocurrency is also prone to manipulation and it doesn’t have to be through the protocol. Did you think the increase in value of bitcoin to over $100k per coin was organic?

Europe could help by muzzling their rabid dog israel.

The consumer market is starved for competition. I hope they upend the memory market and then go on to upend the GPU market as well as any other consumer market that gets the bright idea of artificially AI constraining their supplies. Companies threaten consumers with higher prices and labor with layoffs. Well I’ll threaten them back with buying Chinese goods. Won’t that undermine my own job? That was already under threat by the CEO!

Vibe coding is basically poorly rewriting dependencies.

Yay cats!

If people know you’re a liar, lying more won’t help you.

This clock is too confusing, can I have terror alert colors instead?
