The USA didn't lose in Iraq or South Korea or Syria. The US destroyed Saddam and left in 2011. ISIS demanded a round two so we came back kicked their asses too,
This is actually an interesting discussion because whether or not it was worth it depends on how many tiers of "big picture" you're thinking.
You never know which one is the one that cracks the dam. That whole article is damning, the party management of safety and risk, the obvious lying about the deaths, paired with the 'improving' workplace casualty numbers indicates that any reduction in workplace fatalities is just a result of not counting them.
Well that's horrifying.
I do not believe in chinese ability to suppress it. Not with cellphones and the general incompetence of the chinese gov. Even if they disappear the entire workforce and surrounding peasents, eventually the cleanup crew and the guards will get it, or the scroungers will try to pick it clean and develop fun new diseases
we went it to stop china getting a political win and to save french rubber production, ever heard of a little company called Michelin? Google where they got all their rubber from.
Yeah, beating your kids only teaches them to hate you. If you have to resort to physical punishment, you failed as a parent. I get swatting a kid on the ass when they are too young to be capable of understanding, but all too often shitbag parents resort to this well past the age when mental punishments are required.
Honk
I agree. "We gotta bring back hitting children to discipline them" seems like one of the lazy ideas on the right that sticks around just because it sounds hard or something.
The difference is that we aren't talking about scorpions, we are talking about human beings. Human beings do have the capacity to change. If Tapper truly reforms remains to be seen, but this is at least a step in a positive direction. Would you rather have two guys who hate you and want to see you dead, or one guy with bad intent and the another who starts to think that maybe what he did was bad?
Mental punishments are way better, too. For example, you can punish your teenage daughter by telling her no amount of makeup will hide how weird and ugly her teeth are.
You're such a pedantic nigger it's not even funny. Is South Korea and North Korea still technically at war on paper? Yes. Does that mean anything has happened in the last 70 years? Fuck no, the war is long past over. North Korea is a poor shithole and South Korea is a developed Cyberpunk dystopia. Both sides refused to sign a peace treaty simply because of their ideological divide between the two nations. Both sides want/wanted the total unification of Korea (under their own ideology)
What the story leaves out is the scorpian was charged with murder and hate crimes later that day because as it turned out the chemicals in the water turned that particular frog gay.
Don't confuse the map with the territory. The 'peace treaty' is not the peace. The peace is the result of the war, which has ended by all reasonable standards. And look who got what in the peace! The Korean War ended with the armistice, and the retarded Kims negotiated a treaty, backed by Mao's butthurt and the taboo against using nuclear weapons on retarded statelike entities like the DPRK. The Southies won and big. Nonetheless, America achieved most of its general strategic aims and kept what has proven to be an extraordinarily valuable ally alive and halt the progress of a hostile ideology. The goal of containment as a strategic policy was to contain, not to eradicate.
'Democratic forces,' sometimes, eh, not so much. Still, better to go through one kind of tyranny than some others. The American public remembers the very visible failure instead of the quieter (in America) and much dirtier success stories.
Listen. I fall squarely on the side of believing vaccines generally do good, and most of the outrage over them is a mix of Oppositional Defiant Disorder, Dunning-Kruger, and terrible, idiotic messaging during the early days of the disease that misrepresented what a vaccine does.
Maybe you are a psyop, my be this website is a psyop, maybe the sun is a psyop, maybe life is a psyoo.
