Was it this one, from 2017?

What, no mention of phrenology? I’ve lost touch with 4chan, too much grass touching for me.

nobody will enter on Israel’s side (no middle eastern despot would fight with Israel and survive the week) so yeah.

Perhaps not directly, but if America steps up it’s involvement, they will be relying on their relationships with allies in the region to do so.

I think the lens of a localized, regional war in the Middle East is becoming too narrow. If we’re escalating things to the point of America’s direct and significant involvement (beyond shooting missiles out of the sky, but rather conducting its own attacks on Iran), then I think Iran’s potential allies extend beyond the region as well.

Most likely Russia first, as it’s already in a proxy war with the US/West.

Potentially China, but not likely until it’s most advantageous for them to do so. Or perhaps they’ll enter opportunistically, such as attacking Taiwan if America’s Naval might is sent to the Gulf, opening a potential three front war.

The economic connection between these three has continued to grow in recent years, and may be reason enough.

No no no, you don’t understand. We’re just de-escalating through escalation.

I wish this was /s rather than a direct quote…

The British gave time, the Americans gave money, the Soviets gave blood.

The Russian capacity to throw seemly endless bodies toward a goal is virtually part of their mythos. The above quote is from Stalin in regards to defeating the Nazis. The situation couldn’t be more different, other than in the propaganda coming from Putin.

Thank you kind stranger!

edit: Wow, didn’t expect this to blow up!!!

the Galactic Empire, an extremely fascist regime modeled off Nazi Germany

Tough to argue the that the visuals aren’t there in the uniforms or other aesthetics, but apparently George also had other empires in mind in the original series. Nothing that would put Tarkin in auth left though.

The author hopes for a future version of Windows that offers more user control and less interference from Microsoft’s software-as-a-service products.

Currently there is zero incentive for Microsoft to do this, and only upside potential to keep doing what they’re doing.

You’d need thousands of companies to abandon their dependency on Windows, Office, and the entire Microsoft ecosystem for them to change course now.

50 US Marines, of which he is their Commander in Chief.

North Korea has been an American rival since 1950. Imagine if any other President had done this.

But you don’t even have to, just look at the response to Obama bowing to the emperor of Japan, an ally.

Add it to the pile.

Nope, Windows will still not be my next PC. Fool me once, shame on you. Fool me twice, you can’t get fooled again.

Too late. Linux is going from my hobby project to my primary OS by the time they stop providing Windows 10 updates, if not sooner.

Saying “you are product” just make people take it literally and think Facebook is wrapping people up and selling them whole package, organ and brain included, which is nonsense

You’re the only person I’ve ever seen who has taken this expression literally.

Would have been even better if it didn’t look like the one on the left was speaking. I like the idea of the reader deciding which one they’re more comfortable with and assuming they’re the one talking.

I thought the phone was a knife, cause that would have also been reasonable.

Seems weird to seize our own arms shipments though, assuming “we” are American, German, British, French, Australian, Canadian, etc…
