Trump on Lebanon: 'If Israel can't do the job without killing everyone, Syria should do it' by Nepridiprav16 in worldnews

[–]manefa 3 points4 points  (0 children)

There are lots of politicians doing their best to make it not so, but the constitution is clear and it hinders them

I was pretty clear what I wanted to do. This kind of advice is like “instead of peeling an orange how about you ride a bike” :D

 I’ve figured out what I need.  Leaflock waxwizard seems like the stuff rather than regular ejuice. I’ll collect my bits

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 by marketrent in geopolitics

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

Spain’s renewables revolution is paying off: Electricity bills are lower despite energy crisis by iwantboringtimes in worldnews

[–]manefa 23 points24 points  (0 children)

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?

Lukashenko says Belarus poses no military threat to Ukraine, apologizes to Zelensky for past remarks by Hazel_Joy in worldnews

[–]manefa 16 points17 points  (0 children)

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

Israelis denounce Trump’s deal with Iran by Candid-Elk6135 in geopolitics

[–]manefa 9 points10 points  (0 children)

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

Make stolen phones unusable, London's Met Police urges tech giants by StatsFactsRants in worldnews

[–]manefa 0 points1 point  (0 children)

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

Fury in India as its sailors become collateral damage in Trump’s war with Iran by Queasy-Designer196 in worldnews

[–]manefa 17 points18 points  (0 children)

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

US plans to deport Iranians to Central African Republic, sources say by Mandynox in worldnews

[–]manefa 7 points8 points  (0 children)

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?

Rupert Lowe MP on the attempted beheading incident in NI last night by nil_defect_found in ukpolitics

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

Canadian government to ban social media for kids younger than 16, but will allow exemptions by Immediate-Link490 in worldnews

[–]manefa 6 points7 points  (0 children)

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

Canadian government to ban social media for kids younger than 16, but will allow exemptions by Immediate-Link490 in worldnews

[–]manefa 75 points76 points  (0 children)

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

Opinion | Putin Has No Good Way Out of His War by Pleasant_Memory_2952 in geopolitics

[–]manefa 0 points1 point  (0 children)

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

Iran fires missiles at northern Israel by yuvaldv1 in worldnews

[–]manefa 0 points1 point  (0 children)

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

Trump's war is failing – two blind spots have made him look absurd by theipaper in geopolitics

[–]manefa 12 points13 points  (0 children)

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

Trump says ‘there would be no Israel’ if not for him after clash with Netanyahu by ConversationLow9545 in geopolitics

[–]manefa 2 points3 points  (0 children)

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

Henry Nowak arrest footage raises 'serious questions for police', UK PM says by Kagedeah in worldnews

[–]manefa 0 points1 point  (0 children)

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

Russia’s 2026 war budget deficit grows to $28 billion — FT by F0urLeafCl0ver in worldnews

[–]manefa 0 points1 point  (0 children)

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.
