In the future probably kids will be reading history textbooks and will say: can you believe people actually thought democracy was a good system when even the original Greeks hated it (Socrates literally died to prove how stupid it was)?

Something you have to ask yourself why you were born in this particular period. For the last 200 to 300 years, our ancestors had to keep hearing how great the west was and how they figured it all out already. Only now we are seeing past the facade and how it all comes crashing down.

If democracy really was end of history, why don't we let soldiers vote their general? That's when the stakes are highest. War is another beast on how much your decisions weigh.

Forget about soldiers able to vote for their general. The litmus test would and should have been about HOW CORPORATIONS ARE GOVERNED AND LED.

I have never once heard that successful companies should have been led by janitors and plumbers.

" Nikkei reports Temu will soon have more users than Amazon. "Nikkei found based on data analysis from the US Sensor Tower that in August, the number of users of Temu's application (APP) ranked third among major e-commerce platforms, reaching 91% of the number of Amazon users. Temu's number of users is expected to surpass Amazon, which has been established for 30 years, within the year. ... users in 53 out of 84 countries and regions (accounting for more than 60%) prefer Temu. Especially in Europe, users in 28 out of 30 countries prefer Temu." "

Given that prices on Temu are lower in general than on Amazon, consumption is degrading even further in Europe, right?

Whatif SK doesnt pay, will they leave?
"Seoul and Washington have reached a new agreement to share the cost for US forces stationed in the Asian country, South Korea's foreign ministry said Friday. Under the five-year deal that lasts until 2030, South Korea will pay 1.52 trillion won ($1.14 billion) for the US stationing in 2026, up 8.3% YOY."

Hmmm South Korea seems to be running out of options when it comes to defence. In all honesty considering how well these weapons and defence helped in Ukraine and even Israel given how the so called best defense (Iron dome/david sling) sucks against anything half decent and considering that all of SK is literally next to a nation that could literally glass the entire nation in almost 2-3 min, one must honestly wonder, what does the US hope to accomplish given that every single one of their ‘ventures’ have failed so miserably

Looks the attack on Iran is going to be bigger that anyone is expecting and that will likely to cause a massive retaliation from Iran.

Did Netanyahu commit to this stupid action to gain the sympathy of the world or something, most people would probably be lamenting that he is still alive to hurt more people and in the US case, a walking talking embarrassment that is the literally an advertiser of why China is better then the USA because say what you will about China (talking about those anti China YouTubers), at least China didn’t sink to what every depth the US has sunk to which is impossible to deny.

Looks like the 056 sold to Bangladesh may see some action. BNS Shongram is currently off the coast of Lebanon as part of the UNIFIL deployment along with a German corvette. They're supposed to prevent the Israeli Navy from entering Lebanese territory, which is exactly what the Israeli's are doing now. All sides have turned off their transponders.

Earthquakes are extremely frequent in Iran. So I would not speculate on this being some sort of nuke test.

But not frequent in this province, especially m4+. I posted it in the other thread, just a rumor. Now there are more sources reporting it but all of them are Indian or Israeli.

Bound to happen in today's environment. Stuff on Temu is super cheap, while Western countries are suffering crazy inflation of basic household items. Bought a handheld vaccum on Temu for $5; same thing branded at Walmart was $36.

But will they fire on Israel should the latter proceed to enter Lebanon?
