No wonder Iran is using its proxies and not getting openly involved. Israel could remodel their country with that arsenal.Wikipedia, so take it for what it is worth:
Estimates of Israel's stockpile range between 80 and 400 nuclear warheads, and the country is believed to possess the ability to deliver them in several methods, including by aircraft, as submarine-launched cruise missiles, and via the Jericho series of intermediate to intercontinental range ballistic missiles.
A little more reading has me believing 90-100 functioning bombs and the material to quickly build 100-200 more. Enough I would say.No wonder Iran is using its proxies and not getting openly involved. Israel could remodel their country with that arsenal.
I get my news from Breitbart, Drudge, and Yahoo.That's true, and probably to a much higher degree with social media, where the platform picks what is available for people to choose to watch. I suppose we could ban TikTok in the US. Probably people can find ways to consume it anyway. Might be better to have more conservative viewpoints available there depending on how they might get around the algorithms. I don't feel like YouTube's algorithms hamper my ability to watch conservative content.
I listened to a larger clip of this talk Shapiro gave at Oxford. He shines brightest when he engages the educated idiots on college campuses. I put this here because the context of this short clip had to do with Isreali ”proportionality” when it comes to dealing with Hamas.
'preciate it!So you're basically using my X account and DadSmith's Telegram account by proxy.
You're welcome.
Counting INGO, I'd estimate that I get 2/3 of my news from social media. I'm 66. I like to use it as my news aggregator, much in the way I used to use Drudge back in the day. And boy, just like Drudge in the 90s, there is a **** ton of chaff to sort through. But that's OK; in fact, I consider it to be a feature, not a bug. It's gotten me into the habit of checking what are presented as facts, including using sources that don't share my worldview. Believe me, it saves me the embarrassment of blindly citing a story from an extreme right wing source, mainly because I agree with what it presented.Broadly speaking, that’s the conclusion of a study released Wednesday showing 79% of young Americans say they get news daily. The survey of young people ages 16 to 40 — the older of which are known as millennials and the younger Generation Z — was conducted by Media Insight Project, a collaboration between The Associated Press-NORC Center for Public Affairs Research and the American Press Institute.
An estimated 71% of this age group gets news daily from social media. The social media diet is becoming more varied; Facebook doesn’t dominate the way it used to. About a third or more get news each day from YouTube and Instagram, and about a quarter or more from TikTok, Snapchat and Twitter.
Survey finds young people follow news, but without much joy
Young people are following the news but aren't too happy with what they're seeing, according to a new poll.apnews.com
Honestly, I didn’t know this fact before Ben stated it. I’m not surprised knowing what I know about how that war was fought. I consider myself as reasonably well educated, but still not the smartest guy in any given room, so, I really can’t blame her for not knowing it either. But when confronted with a paradigm challenging assertion, she leans into her ignorance. That is being willfully ignorant."Brits weren't bombing civilians" wtf? In some cases, (Dresden, for example) civilians weren't just collateral damage, they were *targeted*.
Dresden is one example of what both sides did. Brits used incendiaries during the night, their heavy bombers arriving at just about the time that American bombers and fighters were leaving their bases to finish the job with HE and strafing during the day. RAF Bomber Command stated that the purpose was the break the will of the already broken German people, who would then pressure the government to sue for peace. I believe that it was revenge for the German attacks on London earlier in the war.Honestly, I didn’t know this fact before Ben stated it.

If you knew anything about the sheer scale of the bombings and damage to the cities, you would realize the truth. Most people just don't connect the dots on their own.Honestly, I didn’t know this fact before Ben stated it. I’m not surprised knowing what I know about how that war was fought.

This is one of the ways our education system, and where We The People permit money and time to be spent, is directly at fault for some of this. Those who do not know history are doomed to repeat it (or at least emulate it).I didn’t know this fact before Ben stated it. I’m not surprised knowing what I know about how that war was fought.
