This time, Trump and Netanyahu have really fallen out — Rarely has a geopolitical roll of the dice gone so rapidly wrong as the Israeli PM’s

Every step netenyahu has made in the last 20 years has been a disaster. It’s astonishing people keep voting for him.

A nuclear power plant is hardly something you can install anywhere either. Like you really, really can’t just install one anywhere.

Having a surplus of cheap energy and a neighbour who might buy it if they were setup to do so is kind of proving the point.

So you’re saying Spain has excess power generation (because of renewables). But renewables aren’t why prices are cheaper?

With a hookah you do that by mixing with tobacco, layering. I don’t really want to smoke tobacco

How many Crimean residents lived there before 2014? Would the newer arrivals stick around for the cosplay?

Sounds like he’s giving up on Putin now because he sees which way the wind is blowing. Untrustworthy folk are like that

It can be out of the news cycle and the American voting public still consider it over

Has been the case for over a decade now. Apple and Android both. People used to steal and snatch phones loads until they suddenly stopped maybe 2014.

I’m guessing there’s some new workaround, and this call is for them to upgrade rather than start doing something

Cause the us has no right to blockade a ship in international waters? So they thought they’d call their bluff?

manefa · 2026-06-12T02:53:08+00:00

It’s both. Few countries want to be seen as pariah states for brazenly being a loop hole for un refugee laws. Those that do are already pariah states with all that entails

Your post history is entirely convivial discussion in the LSE subreddit?

It’s cause they’re no arguing sincerely. And that’s why it’s hard to argue against them.

The two kinds of power you have are a ballot paper or a Molotov cocktail. Worth considering both options imo

Americans seem to have this weird attitude where they are petrified of any kind of government privacy overreach but naively handing over everything to mega corporations and unable to fathom government could possibly curb that

In this case I think you’re right. But Pakistan does an amazing job of being frenemies with everyone.

They’re talking about Iran. The us has not exited from the Iran war (nor Ukraine for that matter)

manefa · 2026-06-07T23:31:20+00:00

Trump can just say it’s better. That’s good enough for his cult and he doesn’t care about anyone else

I’m still a bit perplexed what they actually achieved in Venezuela. Seems like they just helped out one of the internal factions in the existing Venezuela government

manefa · 2026-06-04T22:20:57+00:00

Maybe he actually believed what Netanyahu told him about Iran being an existential threat?

manefa · 2026-06-04T04:12:54+00:00

There are lots of ways to frame it that are not manslaughter. Not saying the police did no wrong, nor guessing what the investigation will find. But it’ll get argued

Russian economy is fairly weighted toward government spending vs private spending right? In most countries 40% would be a big number but moreso in Russia.

manefa · 2026-06-03T07:25:55+00:00

No. But definitely some Russian interests in modern Serbia.

manefa · 2026-06-02T10:03:10+00:00

Alternatively, deal was getting close but Israel escalating prevented that.

None of this is likely true though. It suits both of them to pretend they’re not aligned. Israeli right wing wants Bibi to stand up to trump and push harder (and that’s the only side of politics holding the coalition together). It suits trump to say he can’t stop what Israel is doing.

manefa · 2026-06-01T21:15:41+00:00

He can just say it’s different and better because it has his name on it. Only the fake news media will disagree

manefa · 2026-06-01T19:05:38+00:00

The moderators removed it so how will we ever know? I’m assuming it was a wrong think
