BUT ! Whatever they tested may not have fit into a bomb casing that would protect the contents until detonation on target. Either way, we dropped TWO nukes on Japan: Hiroshima on August 6, 1945, Nagasaki on August 9, 1945 Presumably therefore we could have come up with a few more between then...

:( - meanwhile - Rep. Daniel Goldman (D-N.Y.) on Sunday said President Trump is “not well” following a Wall Street Journal report that said his advisers limited his knowledge of rescue operations for two pilots downed in Iran due to the leader’s “impatience.” “The commander-in-chief was...

When the GOP is DOA ?

I was w/ you until the last term in the sentence "correct itself". We may call it repairable. But it won't happen by itself. It'll take skill, talent, international cooperation, and time. BUT ! The stupid neither forgive nor forget; the naïve forgive and forget; the wise forgive...

OK In that case I may be prepared to advocate for international inequality. Perhaps I'm simply self-deluded on this point, but I suspect there was a metaphorical global tip of the hat to equality, BUT ! they wink-&-nodded to U.S. nuclear dominance because: a) at the inception of the nuclear...

nope still nope - oh - Yup. btw: I'm considering joining a gym. Any such thing as boob day?

Some wealthy / privileged families have hideously bungled the rearing of their young. The Trump bloodline comes to mind. Ever hear of it? BUT ! Some unprivileged bloodlines have done superlatively. MLK ? Money is a tool. So is a hammer. Either can be put to constructive, or destructive use...

"Jewish guilt"? If you were Israeli, occupying (former? / ill-gotten?) Palestine, amusing yourself by picking off Palestinian children at play in the rubble with your AK-47 there'd be obvious room for self-recrimination. What Israel has done, is doing today reflects on all Jews. I can...

As are the advocates of this polarized debate. Over months / years S2 has patiently persuaded me there isn't a single criterion for making this distinction. Problem is, this 78 page thread focuses more on - oh ain't it awful - and less on: - and here are the criteria that should be...

Help us out here R5. Though the U.N. charter was formulated in the nuclear age, might it have reflected non-nuclear / pre-nuclear realities? When Putin's Russia began massing Russian military assets along Ukraine's border preparing to invade and conquer, would / should Ukraine have...

I'm not a persuasive advocate for non-legitimate causes. I don't generally criticize benevolently intended edicts. But, Logic & practice are not always identical. Steve is not his brother's keeper. BUT ! If Steve's neighbor Bruce conducts himself disgracefully, and both Steve and Bruce are...

I forgot to stir my instant coffee this AM. It was a bitter experience.

"The Human Race" Ever hear of it? Well, it's over. We lost. https://apnews.com/

Seems to me each new atrocity can be blamed / justified by some previous atrocity. How many times can you peel an onion? An objective mediator / benevolent arbitrator may be the most likely prospect for permanent resolution. That apparently means either a Martian scholar (don't hold your...

Hannity? Rhymes with "sanity"? Coincidence ?! Yes.

- uhhhg ! - We can't $afford that. BUT ! The cost of not doing so may be even worse. If it comes to that, Trump will declare this his deliberate intention, retroactively justifying it on basis of fiscal responsibility, skillful execution of noble conservatism, or ... OK aides, It's in the...

As a general rule, perhaps so P.S. But in circumstances this extraordinary, it's better to err on the side of validity than diplomacy. Trump endangers the planet. And most of his 4 year term lay before us. Trump has thrust the world into crisis. Thank you Mr. Carney for your candor.

Perhaps. And if so I'm probably w/ that 85%, BUT ! That does not necessarily mean I've accepted any particular resolution of the public toilet / sports team participation disputes. BUT ! 85%?! I'd want to read the exact wording supported in the poll question. What's the end result?

This confession may help put them in prison for life. The MAGAs don't realize how Islamabadly things are going for them? Years from now President Trump may be remembered for being the one that put the crook in the Strait. The Strait of Hormuz is even more crooked now? If so, they should be...

You make an insightful distinction here. Consider this: Some argue communism was never tried at national level. Fine. But by U.S. standards Cuba & China were communist. The U.S. bullied Cuba, but romanced China. I'm not certain why. But I suspect it's the obvious. We bullied the nation we...
