Do you have one that does?

Civil disobedience, in perspective, has by comparison been incredibly ineffective historically.

Books are written to glamorize remarkable exceptions, not the mundane reality of the facts we expect in every day life. The majority by far were punished or executed and forgotten.

Voting has plenty of impact. But most people don't and they're really easy to manipulate into free advertising to garner support for an otherwise unpopular cause at the expense of their own well-being.

It's far better to ask yourself if your cause might not be popular or even just before you run out and change the world. With very, very few exceptions that you're not likely to be able to recognize through mere self reflection.

The intelligence report isn't related here. They obviously weren't talking about facilities that were known to the public to be enriching beyond energy grade.

It cites a publication dated March of '25 that must be compiled from information preceding that by a few months.

The US didn't go to war in or around that time period.

2. And Europe doesn't need any?

3. But not European supply chains?

4. That's probably true. So the US is required to serve the EU with its military because the EU is their customer? I can think of several ways that the US can keep this position without the strait. But it's much more expensive for Europeans.

If I had to guess, I think American oil companies that operate in the strait selling oil to Europe are the only reason the US is still working so hard to control the strait. It's a lot of money on the table. But it's certainly not for Americans, just for a few rich American oil companies and their European customers.

To lower prices, America can help Europe get their oil back from the strait or it can ban sales to Europe both of which could make American oil cheap for Americans.

By not helping, Europe is screwing Americans. And, pretty soon, screwing Europeans too because Americans will be fed up with high prices. They will move to stop exports.

Where does that leave Europe?

No it didn't. That would be catastrophic and likely fatal. They are going to the Moon, which is also in Earth orbit.

Companies that sell app development don't write an app from scratch for every one of their customers. They have a template that includes basic functions that are relevant for marketing. May not be needed for everyone, but why would they bother removing it without pay? That's what you're looking at here.

It's vanilla nothing, sprinkled with your political heroes, stirred and served to you on HN.

Enjoy bro. If you liked the article, read it again. It's even more Trump related the second time!

Your commentary, just as well, might be interesting here if you were a chat bot.

This is HN, not CNN.

This one failed to do that. And that makes it stink of fanaticism (which is annoying to rational folks).

And anyway, even if that weren't happening, most Americans are immigrants within two or three generations. This is a country of immigrants. A huge number of Americans have families that are affected by Islamic Republic terror attacks outside of the US. India, Australia, Saudi Arabia, Yemen, basically all of the countries in northern and eastern Africa, France, Germany, the UK.

The list of countries that haven't been attacked by terror groups funded and/or organized by Iran's Islamic Republic is pretty short.

When I read that it looks like you're not only allowed to check, you're required to, and you can serve time in federal prison if you get it wrong.

Again, I'm not an attorney, so I might be wrong. But it doesn't seem like a loophole despite the many claims I'm seeing.

I'd like to look into it. Is the loophole idea coming from an article written by an attorney? Can you link to it if so?

Can you name one conflict in which Israel attacked during peace time? I can't. Interested to see where you go on this.

Reporters can only publish what Hamas allows. They will be banned from visiting otherwise. There was a good article about this in the Atlantic a while back.

So yes, they do control your media on that topic. And clearly you're eating it up.

I certainly don't find that funny. You're siding with terrorists and voting for them, unknowingly it seems. You're comparing them with people defending their homes, a complete reversal of reality. That's deeply disturbing. It's not funny at all.
