These sorts of attacks is what the US military has been investing in capacity to complete for decades. This is why there has been an investment bleeding edge tech which costs insane amounts of money to develop.

Woo hoo!

Not every war is caused by the USA. Pakistan and Afghanistan have had low level conflicts since Pakistani independence.

I’ve seen the work of others.

Eh, you can still read the PRNDL.

I used to be a “save the best for last” kind of person, but that’s changed over time as my total capacity to do certain things has diminished I want to focus first on the stuff I like the most.

I’m surprised there haven’t been more shootings of the wealthy since Luigi given the positive response to him shooting a health care millionaire.

Outside of signals intelligence, what benefit is this going to have for South Korea? Canada had a decent military, but it is a shell of its former self.

This is typical for international sporting events.

Nah. The Federal Government got close to breaking apart his company once for monopolistic behavior and decided that it was too risky to try to compete in new markets like it previously did. That wasn’t in Gates’s style of running Microsoft, so he stepped from day to day operations because he was bored.

In American banking companies, Vice President is usually the first promotion you get.

They are buying the Mac Minis since they are a cheap way to run a server where this would work. They aren’t create a safe environment for AI, but an access point on local hardware.

It hasn’t really been an economic necessity or cultural priority like other countries.

Most countries who have a population who speak more than one language usually either have a variety of languages spoken within/near the country or rely on ESL speakers to participate in the international workforce.

With English being the current lingua franca, Americans already know the current dominant language. There is really only one major language which is relevant to neighbors, but Americans are usually in the more dominant economic position and there is a cultural aversion to adopting Spanish more.

I generally have vivid dreams, so those aren’t uncommon.

The weirdest one was I was having a nightmare and “woke up” in my room, but I was still dreaming. It was a struggle to wake up from that, which isn’t normal at all.

I also feel like the problem with starting with Marx and getting into socialism as a government type is that Marx was an economist writing about economic forces while a lot of his work has been coopted into political theory.

Which makes discussions on government structure hard with a lot of leftists because once you remove discussing the economics of a society, having a discussion on political freedoms only becomes very problematic.

For instance, I saw some English speaking communists discussing a Chinese analysis of their government, which the analysis states that the Chinese government isn’t a democracy. It is true, China would describe itself as a technocracy, with trained political leaders in charge who are shielded from disruptive democratic whims. However, you could see the issue of them accepting that political power should be held only by elites.

Messy urban warfare.

Assuming cooperation with the Mexican government, the USA would likely launch several raids against cartel strongholds similar to the Maduro raid. Whether the cartel leaders are brought to justice or just immediately assassinated is up for grabs, but I expect several extrajudicial killings.

The situation will devolve as the power vacuum causes additional killings including some punishing of the Mexican federal government. This destabilization is likely going to require an occupation; I expect that the USA would want Mexico to fill those posts first but may get pulled in as the Mexican military runs out of logistical capacity and the US military has to start filling in more and more gaps.

At a point, the war against the cartels becomes viewed as an American occupation instead of an internal Mexican action and it causes the population to turn against both federal governments.

I think it has to do more with experience in the USA.

For a large part of the USA, Mexicans are the dominant immigrant group. Americans also have the most experience with portions of Mexican cuisine that they don’t have with other regions. So, people hear Latin American and auto complete to Mexican because that is what they know.

Usually top for a certain period of time like six or twelve hours.

Yeah. If you’re Donald Ducking it, you’re likely going to have problems getting to the store.

Realistic? The current status quo of everyone pretending Taiwan isn’t a country and China not invading.

China isn’t going to accept an independent Taiwan for a variety of reasons. That likely won’t change unless there is a war.
