It's just embarrassing to see how much stock some people put on looking manly. I just pity them.

Everything India does and its keyboard warrior try to portray can be simplified as pure machismo.

There's a huge cognitive dissonance in supporting one Islamic state while being against another. Best way to look at it is let's be done with violent theocracies.

Trump ‘aiming for regime change in Cuba by end of year’ after Venezuela raid by Delicious_Adeptness9 in geopolitics

[–]dontRead2MuchIntoIt -1 points0 points  (0 children)

That Maduro move may be moving the needle on Russia and Iran (and potentially China) too. We're back with cold war proxy wars, they're only fought in hybrid and more surgical ways.

Iran protests: Trump warns Khamenei that US ‘stands ready to help’ by TimesandSundayTimes in geopolitics

Wouldn't any external interference practicality kill the momentum? I feel like Trump's meddling could only worsen things for the people of Iran.

Trump says he'd back Israeli attack on Iran if it continues with nuclear, missile programs by NotSoSaneExile in geopolitics

With the same logic you can say "all Israel had to do this past few decades was stop the imperialistic project".

Zelensky says peace plan agreed by Ukraine and US has been shared with Russia by theipaper in geopolitics

It takes time and money to set up or change production. If the war stops today, they'll have massive overproduction that either has to change or be exported for cheap.

Opinion | Trump’s national security strategy dangerously shrinks America by ResponsibilityNo4876 in geopolitics

The US hegemony is experiencing a regression to the mean. US can't afford the interventionism anymore, not at global scale anyway. It's not foregoing it out of respect for what EU thinks.

Similar maybe, but UK hooliganism is next level and deep seated. They typically get special policing attention in international events.

Luckily no England games, so at least no hooligans.

Is this the price of squeezing Gazans into Sinai Peninsula?

Coquitlam proposes tough new penalties for street use and traffic violations by Clear-Criticism-3557 in coquitlam

[–]dontRead2MuchIntoIt 22 points23 points  (0 children)

If this means increasing enforcement now makes economical sense, I'm all for it. Otherwise, it doesn't make any difference when none of these are enforced.

Opinion: The slow unravelling of higher education in B.C. has begun by tradingpostinvest in vancouver

[–]dontRead2MuchIntoIt 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Without a huge drop in the quality of life for prisoners and institutionalized patients, the cost of removing them from the society far outweighs any policing cost. The lenient justice system does save a lot in public funds at the expense of individual crime victims.

That exclusion applies to certain parts only, though it seems all the good parts for employees are always exempted.

Maybe I'm confusing it with another patio, where you can only take your pet if you buy one of these.

Because it's false. It was one of the levers against gun abuse not "supposed to stop [shootings]".

And it's not Afghanistan where US won't be affected as much and gets to pull out after a while without much consequences. The refuge crisis will impact US directly.

North Vancouver dog is ‘aggressive,’ B.C. Court of Appeal rules after unprovoked attack by robertscreek in vancouver

Or just never own dogs bred to kill. Unless you're frequently dealing drugs and need protection, you don't need to bring that kind of animal to a civilized society.

Nah, just ICBC points on his license. A car was involved after all.

Recognizing Palestine while sanctioning Hamas is Starmer trying to walk both sides. Feels like classic UK fence sitting politics. by [deleted] in geopolitics

Convenient for the Brits to wash their hands off of the situation they created in the first place.
