Switzerland has a strong assosiation with EU which includes many different sectors. For countrys like Sitzerland and Norway the deal is basically to follow EU regulations and therefore get access its very important internal market. One of them is migration: Swiss nationals are free to migrate into the EU and vise versa. If Switzerland was to cancel this deal of bilateral free movement (due to the proposed cap at 10 milion) this would mean not adapting EU law and hence lose access to the market. Which is logical because if countries outside EU could access the market without obeying its rules the door for missuse like dumping would be wide open. Since EU ist by far the most important market for Switzerland the economic consequences could be detrimental.


Since Switzerland has strong associations with the EU which were actively threatened by a possible implementation of this proposal he’s not completely wrong. This would have weakened EU as well as Switzerland as both parties profit of their strong cooperation.
For this reason foreign powers try to end or impede the cooperation between the different national states and divide the continent in order to conquer it.


The Apache could also possibly have been downed by Israel to sabotage the ‘peace talks’.
Did it?
Or was there some help by BN’s Israel who doesn’t want this conflict to end until it reached its territorial goals?


No worries, the current admin is busy working on reducing the US military capabilities in this moment.


That would assume that AI is truly capable of making a lot of jobs obsolete… but from my current perspective, that premise is nothing more than a marketing gimmick used by AI companies.


Iran might have been on a path to a more civil society when moderates were at power. However this was against Israels plan to picture the local rival as force of evil… so Trump singlehandedly ended the nuclear deal Iran was kept word in and proved to the Iraninan leaders that ‘the West’ can’t be trusted. Next election saw a switch to more conservativism and repression, just as intended.
I’d say you’re right.


And massive subsidies China gives its industries to dump global markets and take control afterwards

Making people “disappear” is a method of intimidation that was already used during the Nazi era in Germany (and in many other right-wing and left-wing dictatorships) to spread fear and terror among the civilian population (see Hitler’s “Night and Fog” decree).
Someone knocks on your door at night, you are taken away, and neither friends, family, nor anyone else knows where you have disappeared to. The uncertainty is more agonizing than any punishment (which you will still face, just not publicly) because your loved ones don’t know if they might actively worsen your situation by taking action.
“Enforced disappearance” has also constituted a crime against humanity since 2002… but who’s surprised there’s no outcry?


This is known for quite some time.
It’s estimated that the sanctions against Saddams Iraq, including medical products such as antibiotics, subsequently caused the death of ~ 200 k children due to treatable diseases.
I can’t really blame any parents who hate the sanctioning nations afterwards.


Devils advocate:
You’re also sure it will be upheld under this SCOTUS?


Is this the same army that just got their budget DOUBLED when the orange took office? Or am I missing something here?


Chinas solar industry most probably…


I was going to point that, initally, isn’t it a good sign that obviously many people are concerned about the security of an open source project like linux? Since I believe in humans in general (stupid me I guess) this news isn’t necessarily a bad sign in time of US big tec dropping the mask and becoming outright evil and abusive.


Yes and no. The original Fanta was what you describe (a substitute for Coke in Nazi Germany) yet it was created from scraps and its taste most probably had little to do with the modern Fanta brand which was created in Italy and inherited the name after war.
I don’t think so.
In my opinion, egoists represent a clear minority and would not be able to suppress everyone else by force. The series of revolutions and democratizations that have occurred throughout history is, in my view, proof of this.
The majority holds the power, and the rule of egoists is only possible as long as the vast majority accepts it (because the disadvantages of being ruled by egoists are offset by sufficiently large benefits of cooperation).
To some extent, therefore, we must also take a good look at ourselves for accepting the status quo as it is and not wanting to change it because it would be too inconvenient.
Yet we chose candidates… even though the pre-selection is biased towards egoists.
Looking at the current rise of populism ''we" actually seem to deliberately chose the most egoistic ones available.
But nonetheless: Imho representation automatically leads to corruption by egoists so we should get rid of representatives all together (or at least try to rein them in by making it possible to remove them from office at any time )
Two things that come to my mind:
In the eyes of average humans (which I believe to be decent people, at least 80 % of the total population) this is insane… however the 10 - 20 % egoists are the ones we chose as our rulers.
The question isn’t how many people are expected to use it but how reliable the information within these texts are or better how good of an information basis for lawmakers is created this way.

Given my current experiences with AI and assuming that Trump II changed many compentent beaurocrats for loyalists the US is up for a bumpy ride.
