The Baltics are in a much stronger position than Ukraine. They are in Nato already, and are geographically important as a buffer to the only Nato members who actually take Russia as a serious threat (Norway, Sweden, Finland and Poland.) Tactically, air and sea defence of the Baltics is externally feasible, and the Baltics nations have focused on building land defense over the recent years. If you combine this with the obvious Russian war fatigue, and lack of resources, it is clear the Russia doesn’t have the capacity to invade the Baltics over the next two years at least, even if the Belarusians participated.

All of this becomes even harder if the Russians are gifted Ukraine and have to occupy it militarily.

I agree that it would have been better to have legitimacy, despite the results. Now you have legitimacy, and bad results.

Rich ones will

Do the doors open away from each other? So that you can m9ve stuff from one to the other?

I have a 2-in-1 due to space restrictions.

I think that first you have to start by admitting two things:

1. Americans did win their/your election
2. Americans have l9st faith in their democratic institutions

After that, you can look at why the Democratic parties fail to appeal to Americans, and try to reform them.

If you go outside of democracy to gain democracy, then you probably lose what’s left of your democracy.

Or you know, you could not focus on race, and just insult Americans as a group … oh wait, is that your insult?

US legal mechanisms for internationally enforcing US law are not like domestic enforcement mechanisms. The scenarios that the pro-China folks here are talking about involve a (completely unrealistic) switch in Taiwanese allegiance, that would make US economic enforcement less relevant, and US military enforcement a serious international risk.

There are just a lot of tankies commenting, and you have to be able to interpret their logic.

Do you think China could soak enough capacity to get TSMC to turn away from all of its major customers? Isn’t most of their industrial design focused on consumer products with automaton, not high end chips? Are there many high end Chinese chip designs?

I don’t think that they do recover anymore. Not since Bush Jr.

The CCP definitely have more say in Chinese tech than the US Government has over US tech. In China, the government controls industry, in the US industry controls government. That said, both are likely backdoored.

You are forgetting that Taiwan has an interest in supporting the U.S. led sanctions.

There is a modicum of school violence in Canada, primarily in Urban/Metro centres, but not enough to cause general panic. Tue States has a pretty unique problem.

I thought that LORA was optimized for low data throughput? Running WIFI over such a link would suck.

Not in the US, but every LTE home internet provider I’ve dealt with is just a SIM that you can use in any off the shelf LTE/5G to wifi router setup. Mikrotik options are cheap and can handle simple one-device implementations, and multi-device mesh setups (that require more effort to configure)

I don’t think that Israelis en masse want a a war with Iran, but Bibi appears to.

This is an example of why erosion of public confidence in democratic institutions is a critical problem. We want to be able to follow an institutional opinion on this topic, but our trust has been eroded by another topic, which makes it less trustworthy.

I didn’t know about Cypress CA, but probably should have expected such.

Do you mean “Cyprus” the country, or Cypress the type of tree?

In most linux tiling managers it is used with directional keys to nav windows and desktops.
