Sure. Everyone will take out a student loan to become a nurse, wages will drop, and soon it won't be the new hotness.

Wasn't it law before coding become the new hotness?

This war is on its way to causing a huge energy crisis globally of the kind that happened in 1973, as headlines like these show

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=KBW-zXeaHTQ - France confirms oil crisis, says 30-40 percent of Gulf energy infrastructure destroyed

At least in this one the channel are leftist oriented enough to mention US and Israel at the start, never to mention them again, but listen to Christine Lagarde at 4:21 - None of us, none of us can resolve the uncertainty about how and when the Ukraine war will end and how the war in Iran will play out.

Note how she keeps the names of the aggressors out of the wars naming. In the former the Europeans wilfully cut themselves of Russian energy and in the latter the whole thing is out of their control. Question is how do you develop the proper mindset to fix problems when the root causes of the problem are kept out of the descriptions of the problems?

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=TPInl-2qZks - Bangladesh fuel crisis deepens as war on Iran drives long queues and loan plea

Note how in the above video the narrator says at 0:23 - "The US/Israeli conflict with Iran is now disrupting global energy supplies"

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=VavXBDH7N0w - Philippines has '45 days of fuel left', declaring state of emergency from Iran war

As far as I can tell there are no reports of two more factions in Iran fighting one another for the media to label the ongoing situation as the "War In Iran", or are there?

Why does the label never mention the two parties which are responsible for this "War in Iran", ie the United States of America and the state of Israel?

What is the mental feebleness and addlement within the Western mainstream media and body politic that make them unable to call the war for what it is - the United States and Israel's War On Iran?

Why keep the names two most critical parties in this war out of this designation?

1.The United States (of America).

2. The State of Israel.

Yes. With the greatest bravery and utter fearlessness I mentioned them. Someone please sue me.

Is this due to corruption?

Is this due to bribery?

What the heck is going on?

Are the Western governments and media that financially and morally compromised are they just "pusillanimous", a word whose leading syllables in plural are a very apt description of their condition.

Can the Western world overcome its inexorable decline when their collective body politic lacks the ability to label and frame problems as exactly what they are?

Are the voters a joke to the people who write such articles?

Am I a joke to them?

Is there a browser addon which can mark links on HN as behind paywalls?

Some sub-reddits tag them as such.

Why don't the people in Minnesota go open carry and let ICE agents think twice before drawing their weapons on people?

Where is the evidence for your claim that Mearsheimer and Sachs are being paid to spread malicious FUD?

Are you implying that the officials in charge of providing support for the Ukrainian war effort believed that Mearsheimer and Sachs had access to superior intelligence on Russian's war disposition?

Canada is memorable for freezing the bank accounts of truckers who objected to Covid vaccinations.

With Britain you can look up the case of Nigel Farage who got debanked.

In the case of the EU here are few interesting ones.

Since when is it OK for governments to sanction people when they are lawfully expressing disagreement with Govt policies or views?

This isn't really about the ICC judges. It is about the failure of the major Western countries who are part of the ICC to come to the defence of the judges who they have appointed to make those decisions, and the control Israeli politicians exercise over the White House, ie the US President himself.

Americans don't seem to understand how the moral character of their politicians and their political system is relentlessly degraded by the so called Israel lobby, or they don't care, or have resigned themselves to it.

Sanctions of those kind or usually applied to corporate entities, state entitities or militant political groups aka "proscribed terrorist organizations". They are not intended to applied to individuals carrying out their legitimate duties in organizations approved or even created by America's own allies under principles America subscribes to, even if they are reluctant to submit themselves to those organizations.

And yet on account of Israel, the US applies these sanctions to judges carrying out the duties lawfully, and somehow they don't see how whimsical, capricious, petty and infantile such decisions are and the poor light they present the US in.
