Maybe someone should remind them to only shoot illegals.

The world is full of people wanting to be offended on behalf of other people.

Yeah, I can imagine it being a problem if it was from different IP addresses, but surely putting a limit on requests from a single IP would be a straightforward fix? Although maybe until it happens, you don't think about it.

I don't want to automatically blame Trump, but if the leader of the country ignores laws, why would anyone else think they are that important?

I've got no figures to hand obviously, but I'd be very surprised if the 128 (including +2 and +3) didn't outsell the 48K.

If I had toothache again, I'd let a dog with a hammer have a go at it if I thought it would stop the pain.

What would be your definition of not running? It's like when someone says "We survived Covid!". Yes, you might have but thousands of others died.

> it's clearly pointless

That depends what the aim of the war is. Is it to win, or just a distraction?

You're probably right. The wars have served their purpose, i.e. distract voters from domestic issues. Who in power cares if they win or lose if they're still in power?

Why wouldn't they? There's been very little repercussions for anyone so far. Apart from the Netherlands bracing itself for sanctions from America because the ICC dared to suggest someone might have done something wrong.

Or any of the other million or so sci-fi stories that predicted this might happen.

The real advantage of AI is the fact it can be blamed, absolving any humans of responsibility or repercussions.

I think it's something to do with them issueing an arrest warrant in November 2024 for Netanyahu for alleged war crimes and crimes against humanity as part of the ICC investigation in Palestine.
