I did too with the joplin sync server until, without a failure or any error messages, it ate all my notes.

No, he didn’t.

You know nothing about this topic as I detailed in my other response.

Stop spouting lies.

No, he didn’t. This is 100% factually wrong. He gave them to to the Guardian and to the New York Times, and to Glenn Greenwald., and he gave it to them encrypted and deleted them himself. Part of his requirements was that they vet everything they released before they released it to make sure that no one was hurt as an effect.

This was part of why the Guardian ended up having it’s higher level employees replaced after MI6 trashed the place (literally).

You might be thinking of Julian Assange, but even there there was double checking and not one single individual has proven to be hurt by those leaks.

That’s the enemies Im talking about eg DPRK, Russia, or Iran.

Let me guess, you’re a liberal of the “Liberals hate every war except the current one” bent, aren’t you? To the point that you’re literally making shit up to slander an actual fucking hero that revealed quite a lot to the public that wasn’t at that point known.

Get the fuck out of here with your stupid ignorant bullshit that lets you feel smugly superior.

EDIT: We never got the full leaks because the news organizations he gave them to ended up deleting them from under governmental pressure, and he no longer had copies of them.

Now, before you smugly utter the next banal lie liberals always do to slander him: He didn’t want to go to Russia. He intended to go to Ecuador, but the Obama Administration broke a bunch of international laws, including forcing aircraft with diplomatic immunity to land in other countries airspace to try and capture him. Turned out, of course, that he wasn’t on board. He went to Russia out of desperation.

Those 700 cost more than 7 times the entire Apollo program, adjusted for inflation. They cost 7 times what it cost to go to the fucking moon, start to finish.

Their primary purpose is not to be good fighter jets, but to funnel tax payer money to the board members of Lockheed Martin.

They are living symbols of American corruption coming at the cost of capabilities. Another poster has detailed why they are poor weapons, so I won’t bother, but that 700 number you were happy to post about is not a symbol of strength, but a symbol of waste, corruption, and weakness.

He leaked information to the citizens of the country doing the spying.

It’s interesting you describe them as enemies

Having admined an instance with about 200 users, and migrated over to xmpp, I’m never going back.

It is such a beast in comparison to xmpp, and maintance is so much easier, as are full backups.

This is like the whole ‘not allowed to express joy in Israeli territory’ thing.

Forte being pronounced for-tay.

This isn’t music.

I don’t have a duty to google to find sources that you won’t provide, nor guess at what your point is. I don’t actually have access to the thoughts in your head beyond what you have written.

Apparently not even to click a link. Did you click it? Or did you just get offended at the “Let me google that for you” method? This is literally the top link: https://www.nytimes.com/1982/08/13/world/reagan-demands-end-to-attacks-in-a-blunt-telephone-call-to-begin.html

I’ll summarize this point by saying you’re arguing in essence that if Biden demanded an end to the war, it would end because Israel would run out of weapons. This leaves out several other possibilities, the most notable of which is that Democrats are voted out by (usually democratic-voting) jews and Trump takes office and gives Israel whatever they want.

This is wrong.

To think otherwise is really a rather far left view that has never been popular is US politics.

Far left… Like Reagan? Again, I provided you the link, did you even click it? This isn’t rational.

Another possibility is Israel allying with Russia or China to get the weapons they need. Either way, the war continues. I happen to think Biden should’ve cut them off anyway, but the point I’m arguing is that every other president would’ve done no more than Biden did.

LOL. How to say you know nothing about geopolitics without saying you know nothing about geopolitics.

Countries are not fungible. Other countries have different views and different alliances than our country does.

Again, countries are not fungible.

Furthermore, you are ignoring how much fucking money we give them.

If. The voters used their power to put Trump in office after he was quite clear about wanting Netanyahu to do whatever he wants in Gaza and even the West Bank. I think that says a lot about Biden’s abilities.

Not if. I provided you link, you just took offense at the format and didn’t follow through.

I completely reject this as impractical and harmful to discussions everywhere. If something is not common knowledge and can be doubted, you need to provide a source. Think about it. The alternative is that I am left to either 1) Trust some random person on the internet or 2) do the work myself to find out, which in your case also involves trying to figure out what you’re even trying to say first, or 3) just assert the opposite without providing a source is response. Most people choose 1) if it’s someone they already agree with, and 3) if it’s someone they disagree with. This is why we have so many culty filter bubbles. Cite your sources. Not only for me, but also for you so you can verify that your memory is correct, and end up making a better point as a result.

It’s funny how this doesn’t apply to your (wrong) assertions that justify your (wrong) viewpoint.

Go justify your favorite presidents genocide somewhere else.

You do have a responsibility to have some understanding of the topic you’re commenting on. It’s not other peoples responsibility to teach you. Especially when you refuse to actually follow links or read things.

…

Really?

That is your response?

https://letmegooglethat.com/?q=Reagan+Israel+war

There is nothing rational about you. It’s impossible to be rational with absolutely no historical knowledge.

It doesn’t matter who the leader of Israel is. Israel isn’t a real country. It doesn’t exist without continuous US funding. In fact, a third of ALL U.S. foreign aid has gone to Israel. Without free cash from the US, Israel goes bankrupt. Without free weapons from America, Israel goes bankrupt.

Any American president, at any time, can end any Israeli war with a phone call. That is, in fact, how all Israeli wars have ended. It’s actually hurt Israel because they don’t know how to set achievable war goals. Instead their wars end when America demands they do.

This is also the same deal Hamas had accepted since may. You mention them like they have been an impediment to the peace negotiations.

Biden held back one shipment of 2,000 lb bombs. A weapon that our military doctrine doesn’t allow us to use near population centers due to the likelihood of civilian casualties, and Israel wanted to drop them in one of the most densely populated places on earth.

Note that I said one shipment. We did provide them other shipments of 2000 lb. The only reason he held up that one shipment was to earn the respect of the utterly, foolishly gullible. Of course, he was required by the Leahy Law to stop all shipments to Israel.

Assuming good faith, which is a stretch at this point, you are utterly and completely ignorant of this topic.

Yeah, I have a hate-on for any worthless fucks that commit genocide. And when you have the power to end it, and don’t, then you are responsible for it.

Now, before you complain about me not providing links, spend 5 seconds trying to educate yourself by using Google. I’m not going to provide links proving the sky is blue, either. Some things you are responsible for finding out yourself.

Links?

The problem with cars isn’t solely because of the internal combustion engine. Replacing ICE cars with EV’s doesn’t solve the problems associated with the infrastructure and city planning we’ve built around cars.

EV’s aren’t the solution. Trains are.

So much for the rational bit of your username.

Though, I guess you can be rational and wrong if you start from false premises.

Biden, and any other American president, can end Israeli wars with a single phone call.

Reagan did it.

Bush did it.

Clinton did it.

In fact, the Israeli military systematically doesn’t know how to end wars because they’ve never had to do it. America has always ended their wars.

It’s literally an aspect of their political ideology:

‘Oh our party can’t be blamed for the war goals not being accomplished. We had to stop because America’

You’re either so horrifically ignorant of recent history (my still living father is older than the state of Israel) that any opinion you spout can be tossed out (no matter how rational), or you know this and are trying to actively provide cover for a president who was happy with the slaughter of mostly children.

Which is it?

Edit: and to be exact, it’s 77 years. And the US wasn’t exactly friendly at the start due to the perceived communist sympathies of the young state. You know, the whole cold war thing? You may have heard of it?

So most countries should kick out Israel supporters? That beeper attack was a state sponsored terrorist attack.

I don’t need to back my words with the domain I come from.

That is a pretty pathetic response, especially when you follow it up with a made up scenario. Especially in defense of a state sponsor of terrorism.

Also, if you’re going to make your money publishing Hasbara, you need to learn how to use the correct ‘your’.

Is not a response that indicates you read what was written.

Evidence that you have no critical reading skills. Either that, or no capacity for empathy.

Things are better, right here and now, for Palestinians. Will they remain better? Probably not.

Will they be worse? No. You can’t get worse then actively being genocided. Genocide is binary.

‘Why do you care that I’m a white south African from apartheid days when you’re accusing me of being racist? What does that matter?’

It’s not ‘trust me, bro’ when it is public fucking history. It’s just you being ignorant to the point that if someone sent you links they would have to be posted with ‘let me google it for you’

Asking for proof when someone says the sky is blue doesn’t do anything but make you look stupid or bad faith.

You’re right, it was also terrorism and the slaughter of civilians.
