You've wrongly assumed that the Syrian civil war was caused by outsiders. It was mainly caused by the al-Assad family's dictatorial, kleptomaniac, discriminatory and murderous behaviour.
And yet the US are still going to arm the Syrian Kurds, much against the Turkish tyrant's wishes.
There's still the Flynn connection to Turkey but that's most likely due to Trump's habit of valuing loyalty and friendship over honesty and competence, rather than anything sinister.
There are many more comments about Manning's genitalia than about his/her actions. What is it with you people?
S/he did more than anyone else to disclose the obscene careless violence used by the US military in Iraq. As in the 1st Gulf War, the western media were largely controlled by the military, keeping them away from anything they shouldn't see. Manning almost single-handedly lifted that curtain and should be lauded for doing so.
Those of you harking back to the days when the US could bomb anyone with impunity would do well to consider - even if you discount the immorality - the long term harm to US interests caused by such actions.
Obama (who like every US President has been responsible for lots of deaths) clearly recognized the importance of Manning's actions in deciding to release her.
I didn't miss that, just discounted it as a reason for the research because women with one working ovary don't need two and infertile women can already use IVF with donated eggs.
Infertile females don't produce the "follicles, the tiny, fluid-holding sacs that contain immature egg cells" which are implanted. They would have to come from a fertile donor. Am I missing something?
I'm not saying it's good or even justified but it's not surprising the Vietnamese government is a little paranoid about outsiders considering what foreigners have done to them, within living memory.
My 1999 TDi was still in good shape at 270,000 km but oh! the pollution. It was obvious that what was coming out of the exhaust wasn't what VW claimed.
I'd guess it's a problem with Chrome on Macs. I'd regularly have 100+ tabs, 10+ windows open without any problems (until the Windows update a few days ago when they all disappeared after a reboot).
The TI-52 was the best designed, most elegant calculator around at the time. I rarely use it now and the display's a bit faint but I believe that's because it still has the original 30 year old batteries.
If some hacker finds an exploit, doesn't tell Microsoft, uses it for his own purposes but fails to keep it secure so other hackers get hold of it and use it to install ransomware, would you still blame Microsoft, or only if the hacker's initials are NSA?
You might as well criticize the Linux devs too because of all the unpatched security holes in Linux.
Many UK companies have Irish call centres. Out of all the call centres in India, the Philippines, Hungary etc which I've phoned, the person I found hardest to understand was from my car insurers in Northern Ireland. He had such a thick accent that even after asking him to repeat something three times, I still wasn't always sure what he said. I did wonder if the call was as frustrating and embarrassing for him as it was for me.
The whole thing is very odd. The only way it makes sense is if Comey was incompetent in announcing the investigation into the emails 11 days before the election, because the FBI now say they weren't a big deal.
Post-election, this has caused bad people to say that Trump only won because of Comey's intervention when it's obvious his huge win had nothing to do with it. Now we enter the Trump zone: a region of space-time where normal rules of logic, reason and causality no longer apply. Never mind that Trump used Comey's intervention in his campaign, it had served its purpose but has now turned bad, so Comey has to go.
The other puzzling thing is why Comey intervened. Making (what turned out to be) the wrong call can be seen as unbelievably incompetent when the FBI had the evidence but maybe the analysts led him astray. Why then should he persist with his "hundreds of thousands" justification months later?
You're not thinking straight. The hack was performed before it was announced, maybe weeks before, and only some documents have been alleged to be forged, not 9GB.
What's wrong with that? When you compare Cuba with much of central and south America over the same period - all those US supported military juntas disappearing people by the thousand, plundering their country to enrich themselves - Cuba is a beacon of light, even encumbered as it was by its enforced dependence on the USSR.
The Dutch managed it pretty well, centuries ago. Would there be any objections from Louisianans to having huge dykes in their state? Call them walls and tell Trump they'll keep out Mexican waves and he'll pay for them (well, use other people's taxes to pay for them).

White House: "Comey was not fired because of the Russia investigation. "
Trump: "I fired Comey because of the Russia investigation."
White House: "The President did not divulge secrets to the Russians."
Trump: "Yes I did."

I'd say that beating children instills fear and alienation rather than respect.

The usual answer is more weapons.

I was trying to look at it through Trump's eyes.

No, it means nothing of the kind. The FBI investigation into Russian interference and links with the Trump administration continues.
Yes but Them started it.
Must be fun trying to track it through a telescope.

Six hours in and the a/c you replied to is +4 Insightful, the first a/c reply to you is +3 Interesting but no points for you.
I would mod you up but it looks like Slashdot mainly gives mod points to fascists.

That's a confusing (though fascinating) film. I've seen it a couple of times and still don't think I've figured it out.
