Can’t possibly imagine why Israel would make this whole thing up. I mean, what possible reason could there be for them to lie about something like that. It just doesn’t make sense.

In conclusion - it must therefore be true.

He’s been dead for decades. I think he’s just quiet and rotting now.

I’d rather be an ape a 100 times more than a fascist. At least then I’d have some reasonable excuse for my actions.

You clearly have no legal training and know nothing about EU law or the national legal systems of its members, many which go back to ancient Roman law.

Go back to school, JD.

JD, is that you?

No yeah I didn’t mean to imply that this is something that is particular to Russia, or any other entity for that matter. I think the functions and methods must be analyzed independently of who they concern on either side of the equation

Indeed, different approaches lead to different conclusions. Which isn’t to say either or is exclusively valid. As I always like to say - two things can true at the same time.

Also, I get what you’re saying and didn’t mean to imply you were making a normative statement. I also didn’t mean to imply that the aspect of understanding is not important. It’s fundamental, including from a practical standpoint. In fact, in the past I used to be so much into figuring out the why that I ended up underestimating the what . Then I noticed that different whys can lead to the same or very similar whats, regardless of the content of the whys and I thought that was very interesting. And yet, trying to seperate them beyond the conceptual has tunred out to be nigh impossible.

Anyway, confusing internal monologue over.

Edit: Basically, I am sorta halfway retracting the “distinction without a difference” and going with the always safe “it’s complicated”

Thing is, that’s a distinction without a difference, at least in the eyes of analysts in the IC, the people charged with making a formal assessment. From that perspective, what you do is more important than why you do it because the effects aland the fallout are all the same.

… so he is an asset?

Sounds smart and reasonable. Worked out great last time.

Pity for you and your poor soul

Was it so difficult to google the hosting states instead of amplifying random BS? …

I’ve been to over 50 countries in all seven continents, and I’ve lived in four of those. Never did I feel anything that I would would describe as fear.

I will be travelling to the US for an exchange program next month. I am afraid. To the point I am actually considering cancelling what could be a career changing opportunity.

Pretty sure they were being sarcastic

Not sure where you’re from but since you were talking about Europe: IDs are mandatory throughout most (but not all) of the EU, as well as in most non-EU countries.

In my EU country, you could get a new ID in as little as a couple of days if you are willing to pay the extra fees which are actually not at all that much. You also have to pay if you lose your ID thiugh this sum is also not that much.

They removed the article? Anyone know why?

It feels like all the people here criticizing her for fantastical or illogical reasons (usually a mixture of both) are just envious of her.
