On a side note, this will probably cause internal turmoil long term lol. What’s gonna stop banning or unbanning abortion once a blue state flips red or red state flips blue. Now add gay marriage, sodomy and contraceptives… This would add pressure for people stick to their ideological tribe no matter what lol.

I don't know what stage this is. But I can't help to bring out this image again:

ok guys, I am not to sure but I keep on hearing about this being overturned, I am very curious as to what is going to happen because for some reason I am getting the feeling that someone is intentionally trying to bring the USA down one scandal at a time
More than 60% of Americans oppose the complete overturn of Roe vs Wade. So I expect another summer of unrest in the U.S., while the rest of the world has their popcorn ready.

I'm shocked, shocked to hear this news!

Abu Akleh shooting: fatal shot came from Israeli forces, says OHCHR​

Israeli forces were behind the fatal shooting of Al Jazeera journalist Shireen Abu Akleh in the West Bank - not indiscriminate Palestinian firing - the UN human rights office, OHCHR, alleged on Friday.

DHS Warned Catholic Church About A ‘Night Of Rage’ Following Roe Laid Out In Manifesto: Report​

The DHS agent reportedly told the diocese that “large groups with cells nationwide have already been discovered ‘casing’ parishes, including here in California.”

And the diocese warned clergy that they must be on “critical notice” and “develop a plan should you see or hear anything suspicious.”

“Make sure you have ushers and or security available during your services and perhaps identify who among your volunteers and parishioners are law enforcement,” the memo said, according to Newsweek. “Suspicious activity would include someone asking out of place questions (Largest Mass times? Doors always open? Do you have security?), looking around church property, protestors, and general disturbances.”

No, they can't. Proof: South Korea tried multiple times to launch a satellite starting in 2009 and failed each time, only succeeding a few years ago.
South Korea was limited by US treaty on ballistic missile ranges (180km max range in 1979, 300km in 2001, and 800km in 2012), so they never seriously sought ICBM technology.

If South Korea wasn't limited by ballistic missile ranges, they would have launched satellites or ICBMs decades earlier. This is not very high-tech, even North Korea can master it, and they are dirt poor.

"Not very high tech" compared with what?
Do I need to remind you that Iran also makes drones, cruise missiles, air defense systems, etc?

Take even the crappy F-5 clones Iran makes. So far North Korea cannot make their own aircraft. And South Korea could not make one two decades back.

I also don't know exactly why North Korea is considered to be low tech. They focus on their tech differently based on their needs and access to technology. But low tech?

um there's a reason why rocket science is a metaphor for something being hard: because it's actually hard.

. more accurately, they outright bought a Russian Angara first stage. The Angara first stage worked, their parts didn't.

ICBMs also use totally different tech (solid fuels or hypergolics) than most commercial launchers which use either LOX/LH2 or LOX/kerosene engines. So there's really no excuse.

I wouldn't say just the long term, it'll be short term as well. America is a federation, individual states should be able to decide if decisive issues like abortion should be legal or not. It should be a no brainer.

America is quickly going through the motions of 1930s Europe. The left and right have become increasingly sectarian with the normalisation of extremist thought. The next stage will be political discourse is less about left v right and more about moderates v the radicals. We're already at that stage in some European countries, like the UK & France.
