As usual, most in the media can't see through their own biases in order to consider that the evidence of this may have been planted.

That's a laugh.

At least parents are now spending more time with their kids. One hopes that is a good sign for folks not wanting to rob me in the future (due to not being insane socialist thugs), but so far that doesn't seem to be true.

Makes sense when you realize the current occupants are more akin to squatters in the remains of a once free society.

"Eminent Domain" edition.

Honor codes like this are state-resistant behavior; what they replace in general is worse (slavery and oriental despotism). That said it resists the state in the worst possible way (making society literally poison to attempt to consume by predatory states). The author is correct to see that the welfare state does nothing but foster this behavior; Dalrymple's "Life at the Bottom" is the primer on this phenomenon occurring in the west. In short, the UK is on track to become barbarians squatting in the ruins of a once great society, along with much of the EU.

Sounds like the problem has finally been solved definitively.

Sounds highly aspirational

Glad someone finally figured that would work well for neighborhood Internet delivery and executed on it.

RT, of course is pleased to throw mad shade on Reporters Without Borders, as that outfit called them propagandists earlier (which is true, but also true of Reporters Without Borders).

Over 29k deployed in "unknown" locations. Riiight. Bunch of damned criminals.

That's a laugh. More likely that Musk's RDF is expanding.

Makes sense that this would happen like that, considering Farnsworth's work.

Expect them to bend over while pretending to dislike their own opinion.

Sounds like it won't lead to much, as both nations are already basket cases, but "diplomatic incidents" are always worth watching for war potential.

As you may know by now, the Afghanis ruling Kabul have long had a rep that would make NAMBLA want to come visit.

Much better than the Onion.

Iran will respond probably asymmetrically. They will not exchange hardware with Saudi Arabia. They will send the Quds Force, now highly trained and highly capable, into the oil-producing regions of Saudi Arabia, where Shia mostly work, and they will stoke those Shia, and the kingdom, and Mohammad bin Salman, this consolidating of power crown prince will suddenly have a rebellion on his hands. This could really get bad. It can go bad really fast.

Still ultimately "that guy's word" about it, but it certainly lines up with the rest of the evidence about the event.

It will be interesting to see what US influence is involved, though certainly the paki government is criminal enough to warrant protestation.

Of course, they never count all the dudes out there "backing them up" logistically, etc, so it is highly likely that the 2,000 number is a lowball figure.

Several postings by Marcy Wheeler lately on the subject. Definitely seems suspicious given some inconsistencies it is revealing.

Palestinians thrown under the bus so they can get their war with Iran. Looks like this is the "deal of the century" Trump was angling for to solve the Palestinian problem.
