The whole occupation of Palestinian territory and treatment of Palestinians in the region is wrong - https://www.ohchr.org/en/press-releases/2022/03/israels-55-y...

This incident further adds to that list

The heat wave was crazy though [1]. I am wondering whether any plant can survive at 50+°C (except desert adapted ones)

God, the Wikipedia page on this is absolutely horrifying:

10xrubberduckon Americans’ views on the war reveal a striking generational divide

Add Libyan intervention (2011) as well - that put the country into 9 years of civil war (is it still peaceful there? IDK). Though this one is combined mess of NATO.

10xrubberduckon The Backdoor That Keeps Russian Oil Flowing into Europe

If not war crimes, were the wars itself of good end-result? And endless streaks of them - Afghanistan, Libya, Syria.. where next? The person is right, US (and NATO) deserved international outcry, and sanctions as Russians got, but instead everyone accepts their twisted "justifications" for their endless wars.

10xrubberduckon U.N. Says Military-Violence in Myanmar Maybe 'Crimes Against Humanity'

What's "maybe"? UN isn't sure? And still saying stuff?

And what ever happened to the Rohingya genocide? Does UN have any courage to deter wrongful actions anymore?

The article proudly notes Suu Kyi's "Nobel peace prize".. like under whose power a genocide happened and didn't even speak a word against it? rather supported this same military's action in the UN [1]? Very peaceful indeed. Who awards these "peace" prizes even?

10xrubberduckon Department Press Briefing – February 3, 2022

What's wrong with that sentiment?

1. US/nato didnt send military so close to Russian border at this scale before

If a country that I had a cold war with amassed military near my border I'd be rightfully paranoid (I am not from us or russia btw)

2. Deescalation needs at least one side not amassing military there else its a never ending spiral into war.. and due to #1 us/nato should take that step, not act like russia, rather be better

3. Like others said, the same sources that lied about Iraq, Afghanistan etc.. yeah, it's come to it that many comments that said that are (or looks like) from us citizens

10xrubberduckon The mother of all crashes is coming and it won’t be fun

I think so too. Increasing money supply for too long devalues that currency, even if its a global currency like usd. In its face a more stable currency will start looking more appealing for trade. This dynamics may take several years to play out though.

10xrubberduckon US puts NSO Group on trade blacklist

People really think this will have an impact? Look at post snowden leaks, on orgs that dissolved and what new orgs popped up around the world (and even some ex-employees, moved from one country to another to the new orgs). I live in a country that's deep into all this, so I am not going to put any names or links here, but search HN historic links a bit and you see them.

It's crude oil, so this topic is a bit of a tanget. EVs will reduce consumption, but not make it zero.

So seems like they are making moves on the other side. Which US probably doesn't like. So something's going on with the timing of these news.
