Bernie should be aware of the war powers act. It’s one of the worse pieces of legislation ever, but it makes the whole declare war thing largely meaningless.

The act gives a president the ability to perform military actions provided Congress is notified within 48 hours of the action happening. Then the president gets a free 60 days to do whatever without additional approval. Then there’s a further 30 days where forces should be withdrawing if there is no further congressional approval. However, that timeline doesn’t really matter, as the Supreme Court ruled under Clinton that of troops are gone by the time the case gets to them then it doesn’t really matter that the law was violated.

Israel is a US interest because they are an easier target than the US in a region that tends to prefer terrorist actions.

China is slowly transitioning from a developing country, but it’s a slow process as new agreements are signed and old ones expire.

NA and EU wouldn’t be a rounding error, China wouldn’t magically be more powerful than everyone else combined. The EU can already make the US and it’s companies make concessions, that wouldn’t change with China replacing the US.

As far as emissions China already hit the point they couldn’t ignore it. That’s why they are rolling out so much solar and nuclear, the Internet being flooded with pictures of absurdly bad smog already forced that issue.

Global power doesn’t tend to be a peaceful transition though. If China does make a play to become the dominant force by then, it’s bad news for everyone living right now.

There are benefits China has that will go away as they transition, which could also cause them to stumble. No longer being considered a developing nation, any poverty will be 100% on them to fix, international agreements will expect them to contribute instead of receiving, emissions will be more heavily scrutinized. Other countries will not be a tolerant about the rampant IP theft and extreme protectionism of their domestic markets.

Like most international groups of the doesn’t commit resources to it, their effective reach is greatly diminished. We saw this with Libya, without us fuel and munitions most jets would be grounded in about a week.

It’s bordering on conspiracy, but there’s an argument to be made that record labels pushed gangster rap and downplayed others to keep black communities down.

You could probably make a power supply that refuses to charge iPhones.

More companies targeting that level of hardware for games, more support for better V2 versions of these handhelds,

It’s been a long time, but wasn’t she a dick to an innocent Squirtle trying to help the others?

It would have to be more like an unsolved mysteries show with a dramatic reenactment and a developer giving all the ugly details with a blacked out face and voice changer.

Germany is a pretty bad example, they were completely dismantled and rebuilt after WWII.

Kickass is the best surprise nic cage film.
Lord of war is the best serious cage.
Bangkok dangerous is the most cage being cage film.

There would be more Russians in the NHL if it was easier to scout them and get them to the US/Canada.

I found steam link to be heavily game dependant because of the input lag. It’s not a great solution for fps games, but anything that didn’t require fast reactions was fine.

It’s not about completion it’s about starting a repair.

It really depends on the definition of commencement. Scheduling a mold remediation company to come out in two weeks is arguably commencement of repairs.

The wording seems to be that repairs must start within 48 hours, which is reasonable. Landlords could likely successfully argue that ordering replacement parts or having a someone scheduled to come out counts as starting or commencement.

While that’s true at a high level, their day to day experience isn’t that political. Even most deployments aren’t really controversial.

It’s about 80% that can read. Only about 10% can understand the concept of a metaphor though.

You could probably be just fine down voting only if you did it judiciously. Down voting a weeks worth of posts in a day is always going to look spammy.
