This comment reminds me of a 4chan post, where the poster talks about understanding the difference between anecdotes and statistics, and goes on to say that anyone who responds to a statistic with an anecdote they think disproves it isn’t very intelligent.
You don’t want to be dumber than a 4channer, do you?
Bernie was attending protests and picket lines, and even getting arrested, back in the 70s. He’s the real deal, and does what others merely talk about.
I’m not convinced that’s the case actually. We’re better off in some ways, definitely worse off in others.
Yapping on about the patriarchy, white privilege, male privilege etc is one example.
The F35 is a global product, with quite a few countries involved in manufacturing. I do think Europe and the UK could keep them flying without the US.
Hell, Iran kept their F14s going for many decades without US support.
I think the advantage there is they don’t need a full airfield to operate from, but if the UK has lost all it’s airfields, somebody’s getting nuked.
It would absolutely be used as evidence in your favour by your defence though. It’s not conclusive, but it helps.
Which is part of the reason the burden of proof is on them.
Are you seriously suggesting a police force will not secure a murder suspect’s phone as part of their enquiries?
Or that, if they didn’t, this would work against them in court later?
Do you not understand the concept of a defence attorney? It’s not just the police that decide what is and isn’t evidence.
I’m aware. Do you think these guys want to be martyrs?
No, but they can certainly kill the Ayatollahs, and I don’t think they’re willing to die for the cause.
They quite famously killed the guy in charge, is what I’m getting at.
How many senior Taliban members are still alive from those days? The organisation persists, most of the leadership didn’t.
I really don’t think Iran’s leaders are that foolish, after what happened last time someone did that.
Who’s going to back up Iran though? Maybe the houthis, but they barely count.
They may try.
There would be more than just the US and Israel bombing them if that happened, you just don’t fuck with international trade.
You can lead a horse to water, but you can’t make it drink.
The voter sentiment that got them this far isn’t going to go away, is it?
