The exploited software is conveniently developed and controlled by Iran’s adversaries. In another episode of the geopolitical sabotage show, “In January 1982, President Ronald Reag…

Whatever the number, it was “worth it”. https://youtu.be/RM0uvgHKZe8

Definitely. People don't hate the game, they hate losing at the game. Problems can be either solved in a constructive way (we see that's not going to happen) or in a nonconstructiv…

My impression is that the government tried to 'solve' the problem with one main constraint in mind: to never allow the prices go down in any meaningful way. Hence the ham-fisted at…

Who said the test has to be self-administered? “This isn’t a litmus test unless the solution even knows what the pH range is”.

Leaving aside your focus on political views (even though the test I proposed is more about getting better informed than diversifying one’s beliefs and prejudices), what’s the typic…

I meant it in a more technical sense, as in “I start my morning by checking 4-5 news outlets from different corners of the political field and try to figure out what’s really going…

There’s a simple litmus test for independent-mindedness: does the person in question do the continuous work of collating “news” and narratives from all across the spectrum? If not,…

If the SVB debacle taught us anything, it is that even the most libertarian free-market aficionados love their “nanny state” when it’s them who’s in trouble.

First, no need to be rude. Second, a certain Mr. Stoltenberg would like to add a prequel to your non sequitur: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Zf5xEBwBhds

This is funny. Did you assume I was rooting for Trump because of my comments about the Bidens? Sorry, I don't have a dog in this race. In my book if something looks like corruption…

And again moving the moral goalposts. One minute it's an existential struggle between good and evil, the next minute it's "well, it's a gray area, you actually are allowed to shell…

> The safety and security officials will allow the agency to possibly perform a forensic evaluation of shelling that has occurred at the plant, Bloomberg reported. This evaluation …

A cushy job at a domestic propaganda outlet is a bit different from selling access to a top US official to foreign oligarchs. That's if you believe that it was strictly about 10% f…

> ... it should be clear that "just asking questions" only applies when the answers are already well known, where the question embodies a point refuted a thousand times, and where …

Here's a funny weird little fact. The IAEA inspectors and even Mr. Grossi himself have been documenting and even 'hearing' shelling 'on a regular basis' while present on the ZNPP p…

Just curious, how do you rationalize Hunter's employment at Burisma? Was it his business acumen or maybe background in natural gas? Or something else altogether?

He also emphatically denied any wrongdoing after being named in the Panama Papers. What's the point you're making?

It's great when corruption and influence peddling can happen out in the open. When it can become the official policy. Right? > "The truth is that I was forced out because I was lea…

I agree, politicians can be hard to follow at times and Joe is no exception. He's notorious for confusing and incoherent ramblings like this: "I looked at them and said, ‘if the pr…

The problem here is that the main suspect has control over both WaPo and those who hold the guy in jail. Oh, and over the countries that carry out the investigations too. Essential…

Don’t know about the guy, but the outlet seems spook-infested. Bigwigs connected to the Council on Foreign Relations, the German Marshall Fund, etc. By definition they have and pro…
