After a student leader of the historic Tiananmen Square protests entered a 2022 congressional race in New York, a Chinese intelligence operative wasted little time enlisting a private investigator to hunt for any mistresses or tax problems that could upend the candidate’s bid, prosecutors say....
Surprised they didn’t also mention India who has been hiring hitmen to take out Sikhs they consider a separatist threat in both US and Canada.
nvm I overshot the paragraph
The Justice Department, for instance, announced a disrupted plot last November to kill a Sikh activist in New York that officials said was directed by an Indian government official.

There was an article like two weeks ago which claimed Israel actually did accept the deal, believing Hamas would reject it so they could use it as reason to start the Rafah invasion.
Except Hamas immediately accepted, which led to some cheering in Gaza, which quickly ended after Israel invaded Rafah anyway.
I think the source was some anonymous officials invovled with brokering the negotiation, so it might be true.
Turns out, the difference in the socket is just a few pins here and there, and you can make a 8th or 9th generation Coffee Lake CPU work on your Z170/270 board if you apply a few Kapton tape fixes and mod your BIOS,
Modders giving me a new reason to keep my ye olde z170 mobo instead of just making a new machine with all the nice hardware
That’s why lots of third world countries are flocking for their investment loans and also why the USA is always pissed off that they’re taking away income from the world bank and the IMF.
Which is why every big corp is doing layoffs right now, with hire freezes, wage increase freezes, and shoddy layoff schemes designed to avoid having to pay unemployment.
Even ignoring all the insane foreign policy and fake as hell local policy that will never see the light of day much like the Obama administration, exactly what metric are these fools using to evaluate the economy?
Because if it’s the Federal Reserve, then of course those banking moguls are having a hell of a time.
Parachutists jumping from World War II-era planes hurled themselves Sunday into now peaceful Normandy skies where war once raged, heralding a week of ceremonies for the fast-disappearing generation of Allied troops who fought from D-Day beaches 80 years ago to Adolf Hitler’s fall, helping free Europe of his tyranny....

Biden was responsible for removing the democratically elected prime minister in Pakistan because he refused to follow the geopolitical whims of the USA. His entire party is dead in the water with several MNAs assasinated, hundreds tortured, and thousands of supporters still in jail without trial or bail.
So respectfully, fuck off with this shitty propaganda meme.
The Biden administration in recent days quietly authorized the transfer of billions of dollars in bombs and fighter jets to Israel despite Washington’s concerns about an anticipated military offensive in southern Gaza that could threaten the lives of hundreds of thousands of Palestinian civilians....
spoiler- 1,800 (2,000 lbs) MK84s = 3,600,000 lbs of ordnance - 500 (500 lbs) MK82 = 250,000 lbs of ordnance = 3,850,000 lbs of ordnance being sent to Israel- My most common WT CAS load out: F-86-25 with 2x 1,000lbs AN-M65A1s = 2,000lbs total per flight - Total ground targets destroyed = 1683 - Assuming worst efficiency of each 2,000 lbs load only destroying one target, 1683 * 2,000 = 3,366,000 lbs of videogame ordnance dropped in 2000 hours of gameplayYeah this is totally fine
