It’s almost like there’s a large-scale war going on nearby for the first time in decades, or something

It is worth noting, though, that Iran did just refuse to meet their obligations under that non-proliferation agreement (regular inspections of nuclear infra, etc) for the first time since 2003.
But I do agree that there’s worrying echoes of the Iraq war here, given Israel seems to be the only country claiming to have evidence of active nuclear weapons development
It makes it difficult to use the pavement, especially for elderly people and people with disabilities, costs the council a bunch of time and money to repair, and doing the repairs often require killing off the tree

2·2 years agoI’ve seen a lot of answers with other good reasons, but I think the main reason has slipped under the radar: the US wants to control the naval routes (via Baffin Bay) between the Atlantic and Pacific through the arctic which are progressively opening up more due to climate change.
Currently Denmark and Canada each control one side of that passage, but changing either to being under US control would effectively allow them to control trade flows through those routes.
It’s somewhat specific to social media, but otherwise is very generic “anything critical of authority” answer imo
Plus, as you say, we have no idea what the actual prompt or response were 🤷
I’m not sure this is actually meaningful - presumably grok doesn’t actually have knowledge of the twitter algorithm itself, so this is just a run of the mill AI make-it-up-on-the-spot response
They never even mentioned Israel, you just decided that was their stance so you could call them a hypocrite
That’s a very reductive description of the orange revolution and euromaidan, though.
In both cases, the US didn’t come in and overthrow the Ukrainian government, there was no assassination, no military coup. At a stretch the most you could reasonably argue the US was involved was egging them on.
It was just an enormous number of Ukrainians protesting the abuse of their political system.
The first time, because the president ordered the kidnapping of a journalist ON VIDEO (whose body was then found, decapitated) then attempted to rig the election in favour of his successor - this resulted in massive protests until the election was re-run (this time with international observers) at the demand of their own supreme court.
The latter because the president ran on a platform of EU alignment, then immediately betrayed the people who elected him by doing the exact opposite in order to placate Russia. He was then removed by parliament, who had a legal right to do exactly that.
Note how, both times, the government was removed, not by a couple, but by the legitimate political institutions of the country.
It’s not a proxy war if the primary aggressor is the great power - that’s just a war of aggression
It’s nice that this exists these days, but my god is it horrendously unreadable at a glance

3·2 years agoThere’s an important difference between actively pursuing an endorsement and being endorsed. They didn’t go to Reagan staffers and beg for their endorsement. You can’t make people not endorse you, even if you reeeeeally don’t like them.

Ignoring the fact that that’s a very silly sentence under most interpretations, what does that have to do with whether there was a large German Jewish community in the 1940s?
