This article reads like a terrible puff piece. Wired has really fallen low with a headline and article like this.

No real info, just statements from highly paid execs.

No way Chinese cars would be sold in U.S. or Japan, no idea about EU though. So no, not remotely a threat.

Seriously, this article is garbage.

Ok, thank you.

Now we can have a dialogue.

Yeah, her murder, because it was a murder, is fucked up and should be a huge deal.

I haven’t seen those images, and I don’t want to. Does the OP article make me believe those images exist? Not entirely, Like you said, it is difficult to trust governments that have a history of creating their own truth.

But I do believe that Hamas is capable of doing that. I do believe that the dynamics of the situation makes it incredibly easy for Israel to be a fascist oppressor and for Hamas to abuse that and do horrific things and then hide behind Palestinians.

Then Hamas gets to justify more violence when Israel does more fucked up stuff, trying to get at Hamas.

Any actual peace processes, over the last 50 years, has been constantly undermined and ruined due to militant Muslim groups, like Hamas, who refuse any compromise.

So what happens? Well the Israelis also got radicalized, and now they don’t really give a shit about the outside world either.

The Palestinians are stuck in the middle.

And we’re supposed to trust you, bro?

At least half the shit you are posting is made up.

Trust me bro.

Even when people link to articles from respected sources, then it becomes a character assassination of that source.

The goal posts get moved, what aboutism’s are made, and more fake news is posted.

I was “Free Palestine” but all this bullshit is making me “A pox on both your houses”

“I think it is quite appropriate to say that this is the single most historically important shipwreck in North America,”

Lol, that lawyer is a full of himself. Maybe if he added, "for French history.

Did James Cameron make a movie about your boat? No? Ok then sit down. 🤣

The solution is obvious. Hire an auditing firm to audit the auditing firms.

Bonus points if the auditing firm, hired to audit, subcontracts the auditing to the firm they are supposed to audit.

China’s subsurface capabilities are laughable at best.

They are decades behind even Russia and pose no real threat to anyone but the same small Asian neighbors they have been bullying for years.

Copy paste that for every continent outside of Europe.

Wait, what!? How would this be a “huge strategic gain for the U.S.”?

You could argue that it’s a proxy conflict between the West and radicalized Muslim states. Sure. I would even listen to a discussion about rich elites using governments to keep areas destabilized in order to further their own fortunes.

But saying that somehow the U.S. would gain a huge strategic advantage is reaching.

What would the strategic value be? Is there oil there? Would they put a base there that somehow had more capabilities than facilities they already have in the area?

This isn’t 5D chess. This is two cultures that refuse to get along, being supported openly, and behind closed doors by larger nations.

Israel hates it’s neighboring countries for good reason. Those countries hate Israel for good reasons.

The human rights violations are disgusting and I support the freeing of Palestine.

But when you do shit like what the Hamas just did, you destroy any sort of moral high ground you may have had. Two wrongs don’t make a right, no matter what your culture is.

You can’t divorce Hamas from Palestine either, like some commentors are trying to do.

Tribalism at its worst.

People who agree with 2 don’t realize that they were those kids too and think that somehow there are kids somewhere that behave nicely because of perfect parenting.

Nope, most likely you just got to witness those kids on a bad day.

Save your judgement for yourself.
