That was not my point. NATO is a stabilizing force. If you remove it, Russia and others will just go on the war path and more people will suffer..
I acknowledge the suffering of the Palestinians and think that needs to stop. In the past I argued that the war crime angle against Netanyahu should be picked up by the icc.. and now they ruled there is enough evidence to issue an arrest warrant.
But NATO does not support these atrocities. Countries in NATO do.. but how does the NATO organisation do that?
This seems to be of the same mold as "the UN does not do anything but talk" yeah.. the UN is a talking organisation.. that's their goal.. keep people in dialogue and serve as a platform to hopefully have member countries do stuff.
NATO is a defense alliance.. member countries not actively doing something against Israëls agression does not mean that it would be up to NATO to do something.
Organizers and people arrested should be put on a plane and given a tour through Ukraines east.. to see with their own eyes. Too many people seem to be unaware why a counterforce to Russia was created in the first place.
Arguing against NATO for the reasons they state just means more people will suffer like the Palestinians do.
If the world does not address the fact that companies no longer work for anything but next quarters shareholders meeting, china will eat everyone's lunch.
The fact china was able to work quietly and then make all the worlds car manufacturers technically obsolete in 5 years shows that long term planning and direction works wonders. Their models works.. just don't care about the harm you cause along the way.
There must be a middle ground that works.. I'd argue for a bigger government involved in directing the economy and countries more.. not less, profit caps and revenue taxation.. but people smarter than me might have better ideas.
It will just cause promises to be more vague
Side benefit is the countries that did not prepare will now also need to look for alternatives.. or maybe pay with goods.
Plenty of choice, ice, tgv, G/D trains, probably others I missed.
All ICMB type missiles reach hypersonic velocity. It's gravity that does this.
Actual hypersonics according to NATO, are missiles that use engines to propel at hypersonic speeds AND can maneuver at that speed.
This is the F15 all over again. An actual development to a perceived Russian threat that only exists in Russian rhetoric and dreams.
Corporations cannot carry the risk involved. Because else it would be similar to the medicine industry, but there is no large market to sell to.
We're going to Mars is not something you can sell in a boardroom, because why? What is the ROI?
NASA does research. They push the boundaries corporations can't.
The fun one will be rare earth though... That will skyrocket so many things.. or makes using them in the US virtually useless as the cost at that point will work it's way all the way through the supply chain that by the time it reaches a consumer product it will be cheaper to I port the finished product and take the tariff there.
Savings banks that hold the money of normal people need to be split off from investment banks. So they can collapse and not use these savings as collateral for their risky behavior.
