Pointing out that your on a sock puppet known for doing wrecker shit is not doxxing.

This is Dronerights alt trying to be a wrecker.
Why do you keep deleting and recreating the post?
This is DroneRights alt btw.

A company tried that in 1999/2000, just before the dot com bust.
We’re moving in that direction, but nothing is free.
Nuclear is not displaced by wind and solar, it’s displaced by fossil fuels. Nobody’s arguing that we should stop building solar or wind to start 20 year long nuclear constructions (though china has it down to 5).
The continued existence of German lignite mining and their expansion of gas are due to turning off nuclear plants before the end of their lifespan.
Don’t forget turning off all their nuclear plants to become reliant on brown coal and russian (now american) gas.
I don’t think it has a meaningful effect. Libs call themselves socialists all the time. For every case you’re able to argue for socialism and not have people’s brains shut down, you get 10 “those tankies aren’t real socialists! Socialism is when you for food stamps and means-tested college subsidies”
You really shouldn’t uncritically accept anything Ukraine or Russia says about the war. Of course they’re going to say the other side is targeting civilians while we only attack valid military targets. Don’t you remember Libya? Iraq? Afghanistan? Bosnia? We know how the news operates in these situations.
Russia abducted more children than died in the “people’s republics”.
This is misframing refugees fleeing into Russia as abduction. These aren’t moustache-twirling villains.
Then there will no longer be people the Ukrainians regard as Russians in Ukraine.
I don’t like the framing of people believing what they’ve been told by teachers, parents, and the media all their life all being gullible imbeciles.
Some of them even examine both sides to get a full understanding of the issue, by watching both CNN and Fox News.
Even if you include ‘killed by police’ (or, in some cases, killed by militia) this stands true.
Over the last decade, police in America have killed at least between 950 and 1250 people a year.
The actual numbers are probably higher because police don’t report all the people they kill, so statisticians are limited to searching news stories that contain the relevant data.
we’re not talking about the nature of the system here, we’re talking about this specific instance.
If I buy a million lotto tickets that have a 50% payout, it would be incomplete if not deceptive to point at one ticket and say “Well you might win 100 bucks, we don’t really know” instead of “the reason they’re selling you those tickets is because the risk and expense is greater than the payout.”
Hiring people is extremely expensive and having those people do nothing between projects is even more so.
That’s still an example of NASA eating an expense of R&D while Lockheed gets the profits.
Just because a river flows south doesn’t mean you couldn’t find an eddy in the currents that flows north for a few seconds.
But the water still has nowhere to flow but south. If the cost was less than expected return, these companies would do this research internally. Even if for just one moment, one tiny aspect of the program did make a profit, it wouldn’t change the nature of the system.
If NASA was a profitable enterprise, it wouldn’t require external funding, and Lockheed and co would be doing that research themselves to keep that profit for themselves.
NASA isn’t like CNSA or Roscosmos in that they don’t make their own rockets. It exists first and foremost to funnel money to aerospace contractors by either directly contracting with them or providing R&D in cases where cost/risk is greater than expected profit.
A similar relationship exists with publicly funded universities selling patents to pharma.
I know right? Of course it’s sold at a loss, that’s why NASA is paying Boeing to do the research.
Can’t have Boeing waste money on R&D, that would hurt their shareholders.
Sanctions are not collective punishment
DPRK did invade the RoK
The RoK was doing genocide and had been recognized as the gov’t of all of Korea in the UN due to the US’s machinations, a gov’t whose election was rigged in the south, and absent in the north. The elections the north arranged were of course, ignored.
The DPRK saw that their position was unsustainable and struck while they still stood a chance. The war started when the people of the DPRK were faced with an existential threat.
Which is kind of similar to Russia’s invasion of Ukraine, but nobody here is gonna pretend Russia are the good guys, just that they’re fighting a greater evil.
Also also, China has reserved a spot on its equivalent of the National Mall for when it takes Taiwan back.
Do you think the RoC can feasibly remain independent forever?
Eventually either PRC is gonna be able to make them a better deal than what the failing American empire can, or they’ll make long-term peaceful integration infeasible, necessitating short-term, violent integration.
And have NATO 500 miles from Moscow and all of Russia’s industry? That would be suicidal, Everyone remembers Iraq, Afghanistan, Libya.
OK yeah everyone knew the cops started shooting protesters, but the real mystery is who were the snipers shooting the riot cops.
