There's a government intelligence program to put controls on another government intelligence program
Most Americans are not eager to get into more wars, especially in the Middle East. If a new war that might involve the US happens less than a month before an election, that will be on the top of people's minds and influence how they vote. If it happens years before an election, they have time to get used to it or to forget about it or to be distracted by other things. It's less a matter of choice, and more a matter of disapproval at the party in power and how they handle geopolitics.
This gives me more reason to be optimistic about long-term effects and grudges from warfare. Thanks for that.
If you don't mind, I have a question to ask you.
Has sentiment between Iranian and Iraqi populations improved much, or at all, since 1989? I'm thinking about histories like this around the world.
Spain is one of the top 3 "countries that are barely held together" in Europe. It's inclined to break up, but for the next half century at least there's too many stitches keeping it intact.
Balkanize Western Europe, lessen the concentration of capital and political blackmail.
The death of a leader is not game over, but if Israel can keep decapitating these organizations, an orderly and planned out resistance becomes more and more difficult.
That assumes that an organization can't learn to exist without rigid command chains with one person at the head.
You only need one person with supreme power in battles on a local scale over a period of days. Beyond that, concentrated power is more of a liability than an asset.
I wonder whether the war/escalation in Lebanon is being timed. Netanyahu knows he needs to keep the war going, which basically means the Israeli state's broadened rampage across Southwest Asia, taking advantage of the unwavering support of the US.
The US presidential election is less than 40 days away, making this one of very few times that could make war a sensitive issue. An escalation now might be an October Surprise to tip the scales towards Trump, and anger the Biden/Harris administration which might end up somewhat constraining its support in retaliation.
But once the election is decided, the war will only have a minute effect on the fortunes of American politicians. Biden's approval rating started to tank as soon as the retreat from Afghanistan happened, and never fully recovered, but in the long run it was better for the Democrats to get the geopolitical embarrassment out of the way at the beginning of the term, so that the electorate would have enough time to start caring about it.
In a parallel vein, I wouldn't be surprised if the IDF are going to strategically time an invasion of Lebanon to a few days after the election. No matter which party wins, it will be less politically risky, as they know they'll be able to count on the support of Trump of Harris as soon as the chips fall.
They don't know which allele is which though, they don't automatically know what combination would be you.
They could only confirm that you're related to your parents.
He faces a challenge to the leadership by خوان غوايدو, a well-known and charismatic upstart.
Wow, I'm sure this will make things a lot more stable, and soften Hezbollah's commitment to destroying Israel!
Maybe because all the queer kids and socialists were extremely closeted.
Stick to soft foods. For instance, steamed cabbage.
(I'm sorry, someone had to do it.)
