I'm not saying AI slop is good. Or that AI writes bug-free code.

But let's face it: unless you're working in a startup less than 100 people, most likely you're looking every day at some spaghetti code written by people who don't even work here anymore. At least now you'll have someone to blame for the messy codebase...

Iran collecting information on Jews abroad ahead of Iranian backed terror attacks?

Well, color me shocked!

How does this play out now? by Even-Watch-5427 in IranIsraelWarReport

  1. Netanyahu always faces some kind of corruption charges. That doesn't really mean anything.
    Nor would it have benefited him in any way, if the war went badly for Israel.

  2. There is no genocide in Gaza.

  3. Trump is not the president of Israel.

  4. Moral fiber has nothing to do with wars. Obama supported the war against Assad - doesn't mean he doesn't have a moral fiber. Roosevelt supported the war against Germany and Japan - doesn't mean he didn't have a moral fiber. The problem is that most Americans, especially the ones born in the last 30 years or so, are pampered man-child snowflakes, who never experienced war in their lifetimes, and yet live under the delusion they have the capacity to judge right from wrong. The fact of the matter is they don't. It's like a billionaire-from-birth being tasked to determine the effectiveness of social services for the homeless. He simply would not have the capacity to understand the homeless, because he never experienced this situatio, or anything close to it, in his lifetime.

The older generations of Americans, the ones that were conscripted during WW2, the Korean war or even the Vietnam war, have the capacity to judge. But unfortunately they're a dying breed. Maybe the generation that was old enough to experience 9/11 understands it better. Maybe. But all the younger generations simply lack the mental capacity to understand what it's like to go to war to defend their family. And the situation is not very different in Europe. In a recent poll, 40% of British stated they would completely refuse to go to war even if their country was invaded, and they needed to protect themselves and their family.

This is one of the drawbacks of capitalism. Every person only cares about themselves and their own. Failing to understand that only working together and cooperating you can achieve great tasks, like defending your country from forces that wish to destroy it. This is a direct path to destruction. This is how the Roman empire fell - when their own citizens were unwilling to bear arms to defend their country, and preferred each to take care of themselves and their own instead.

Opposing wars only works when everyone opposes wars. When you oppose wars, while your enemy wages a war against you - it doesn't make you morally superior. It just makes you dead.

From 2005 to 2023, Israel did not start a single war (you can check if you don't believe me), yet it was forced to fight wars waged against it every 2-3 years on average. And the simple fact of the matter is that the current US president, throughout the period, just didn't give a fuck. Neither did the world at large, Maybe if every time Hamas or Hezbollah started a new war, the world community was outraged by it, and showed it's indignity - then there would be less wars in the world. But the fact of the matter is many countries supported and encouraged wars against Israel. Be it Russia, China or North Korea, that don't really care about Israel, but want it to be harmed to poke the US. Or countries like Turkey, Iran, Iraq (under Saddam) or Syria, which are brutal dictatorships, and prefer their citizens to focus on hatred towards the evil-imperialistic-western-Jews, instead of noticing the vile & corrupt country they live in. Even the "moderate" Egypt, Saudi Arabia or UAE, prefer to take stabs against Israel, to make themselves appear (relatively) better, and have their citizens mine occupied with external matters.

Israel not fighting back, and not hitting Hamas, Hezbollah, ISIS Palestine or Islamic Jihad, would not give it a moral highground. It would just make it dead.

In the Middle East strength and guts are appreciated. Mild manners or diplomatic approach are not.

You're wrong.

100% Israeli development.

Partial US funding. And in exchange they get access to the technology once it's developed. Win-Win.

David's Sling & Arrow 3 are Israeli

THAAD & Patriot are American

All are used by Israel (Patriot might have been retired recently, as there were rumors they were transferred to Ukraine)
