To be fair, how did they even get close? Most those bases have lit perimeters and CCTV. They should be guarded 24/7. Russians are probably licking their lips. I think the armed forces needed this to happen to learn from it.

We ignore the Lib Dems and they have more MPs. It's just the BBC love fascism and will front page every time he farts.

Idk. Not Canadian. Some countries have first ministers. Premier could have been a similar term.

Thanks for clarifying.

I'm not Canadian and was genuinely curious.

The problem is it's done by folk that don't pay and probably covering their face. The fact the company thinks it's cheaper to lose bikes than pay rent for land for stations to secure the bikes between customers is the problem. They don't care.

Want to tell me the playbook for how FPTP goes while avoiding one of the main parties.

Primary them by all means but not supporting an alternative against the current gov is supporting the fascist status quo.

Need to support AOC and Bernie to overall that party while the stupid FPTP system exists.

What on earth could Ukraine do that would crater oil prices though? Without a viable options, I think refineries going pop is the best option they have.

I ain't defending Iran, they ain't good guys. They just got attacked by worse guys. Probably as a distraction from the ethnic cleansing going on in Gaza.

My personal stance is all war is bad, and I will call out aggressors, because it's always civilians that bear the brunt of it. Nothing good ever comes from it, and it'll just harden people and if any bad folk are killed, they're inevitably replaced with worse.

You're going to have to elaborate. I need to understand the logical contortion you went through to muster that question...

Looks like the UK is leading the world by shamelessly sacrificing AI safety at the altar of Trump. Appeasement never works and we have gone backwards towards again being spineless lapdogs in this special relationship.

I remember when we shamelessly followed them in supporting the Iraq war via a sexed up document.

AI can be very error prone and has the potential to be seriously dangerous. It has been said to be used for military purposes and when life and death is in the hands of a computer's decision, who is going to take responsibility for this? Dangerous. We need protections.

We may be on the wrong side of history here. Cowardly from Keir's Labour. I wonder if we traded this for zero tariffs.

 

Analysis from the BBC (who are usually quite motivated and effective at justifying Israel actions).

The sheer devastation is incredible. 66% of buildings damaged. 90% of the population displaced. Water and sanitation systems non-functional. 53/500 needed lorries entering the territory per day (down from 142). They're not even trying to look they're helping now. The population have been squeezed into over-populated tent cities.

It feels like they think if they create the conditions for disease and it kills people, they don't get blamed.

To me, it's hard to think of a way this could get closer to genocide. Absolutely sick.

Israel seem to be galvanised by inaction of the world and probably looking to do the same in Lebanon. Is Yemen after? Where does this stop?
