I suspect that if you could get discovery you would find that the politicians had been told and at least some of them knew that what they were spouting was wrong.

You should remember that the “intelligence” on this has come from religious bigots like Adrian Zenz (a supporter of the Armageddon perspective on the Middle East), government-funded bad actors like ASPI (who are the ones who identified fake concentration camps) and dissident groups that were...

The real question is whether this really stops Iran from getting images of strike sites. Surely Iran has other sources. What this does is to hide from the public the fact that this illegal war or choice is not going well.

I am really sorry to hear this. I hope things get better. Thank you for sharing your horrendous experiences.

I crossed the border to get my (Glaxo Smithkline Shingrix) vaccines in mainland China - significantly cheaper than Hong Kong. Mainland China even makes it easy for foreigners to get vaccines there. Makes you think about whether calling a country "democratic" really means that it takes care of...

I am always a little cautious about repeating the “boogeyman” propaganda referring to places like Iran and China, given the major propaganda effort that goes into making them be “the other”. The US is its own bad example. Perhaps “like Kent State” would be better. Or you could go to the...

Ah yes, the standard academic conclusion.

China paid more than each of the Netherlands and India for 2024 & 2025. I don't know where you get your numbers from. Are you doing a per capita comparison? If so India would still be less. From what I can find, China paid 3% for the 2024 & 2025 combined, but it is important to note that this...

Before, I was shocked and appalled, now I’m angry. My grandfather was crippled by polio, and others ended their days in iron lungs.

GamersNexus has a good presentation on developments in Chinese manufacturing of memory. Generally a good development, but probably won't arrive all that soon... "The Rise of Chinese Memory"

I am one of the people you reference. I understand why gentlemandinosaur said what he did, but I certainly don't know who the woman is, so I fully agree with you that the headline as is was much more helpful to me.

I think you mean the Netherlands. That is where ASML is.

In Indeed. Now class, what is 25% of nothing…?

Good... but not good. Tax all the rich so that they can all pay for these things... and healthcare...

This rolling disaster is more frightening than Dr Mole's usual stories... and that is saying something.

This story won't draw so many eyes, but as a subscriber, this is an example of the extras that encourage my subscriptions. Seeing that Byfield was born in Bradford on Avon which I have visited in the past drew my eye (upriver from Bath and not to be confused with the industrial town Bradford in...

There is some major bias in this story. The main point is clearly true - the police used AI tools and denied it (and this is not good). However, the danger posed by Maccabi fans was real and the decision to ban them was good. The evidence of what they did in Amsterdam should have led to the ban...

People disappearing does not necessarily mean what you think it does - it may just mean lying low like Jack Ma. Now, don’t you wish there was some way to have the Zuck be encouraged to lie low for a while? Incidentally, American supplements appear to be quite popular in Mainland China. People...

Tariffs do hurt China, but not that much (and they reduced their vulnerability after Trump’s first term). They undoubtedly hurt Americans more. After all, who is paying these import taxes? Import taxes are a perfectly valid economic tool. However, wielded incompetently, they will do a lot of...

No - Xi said that the military needs to be ready to do it by 2027. That is not the same.
