That is very very good, and depressingly accurate. The only difference today is that the fall of the Soviet Union in the 90s pushed back the border to Russia farther away from Europe. However the inclusion of the Baltic countries pushed it slightly closer, and then Russia pushed it closer from their side by invading Crimea then Luhansk and Donetsk. Then Russian pushed again invading Kherson, Zaporizhzhia, and Kharkiv. Then NATO moved closer with the induction of Finland and Sweden. So we’re nearly back to the situation in that video skit.
As an American, and therefore a potential target, this is a risk I am willing to take. I think Putin is better at talking shit than actually carrying out his threats.
Same.
Further, even if Putin is serious about carrying out his threats, when do we stop capitulating? If Russia had Ukraine, then invaded Latvia? Then? After Russia rolls into Warsaw? Then? How about with Russian troops in Munich? Then? How about Anchorage?
If Putin is willing to attack when his other invasion of a sovereign country is threatened then the time to push back is RIGHT NOW when a free and sovereign Ukraine is still the future.
My guess is that Russia is trying to create a threat to NATO countries so that those countries will want to hold onto their defense materials and weapons instead of those going to Ukraine. Its a short term gambit. NATO countries understand that if the threat exists now, then it will certainly be worse in the future if Ukraine is fully in Russian control.
So we’d need Tesla to push a software change in the app with an option to turn off the Bluetooth LE signal, but leave the NFC on to continue to use Phonekey safely.
I guess the only safe alternative is using the NFC cards.
Wasney had had seizures in the past, starting about 10 years ago, but it had been a while since his last one.
The Patient: Vincent Wasney, 31, who was uninsured at the time.
They also lacked travel insurance. As inexperienced travelers, Wasney said, they thought it was for lost luggage and canceled trips, not unexpected medical expenses.
Wasney had a second seizure on the ship a few hours later, back in his cabin. This time he stopped breathing, and Eberlein remembered his lips being so purple, they almost looked black. Again, she ran to find help but, in her haste, locked herself out. By the time the ship’s medical team got into the cabin, Wasney was breathing again but had broken blood vessels along his chest and neck that he later said resembled tiger stripes. Wasney was in the ship’s medical center when he had a third seizure — a grand mal, which typically causes a loss of consciousness and violent muscle contractions.
By then, the ship was close enough to port that Wasney could be evacuated by rescue boat. He was put on a stretcher to be lowered by ropes off the side of the ship, with Eberlein climbing down a rope ladder to join him. But before they disembarked, the bill came.
Total Bill: $2,500.22.
I was expecting quite a bit more for all the emergency care he got.
Travel health insurance is surprisingly cheap. I priced out a 1 week policy when I was traveling internationally for a trip that included emergency medical evacuation by helicopter if necessary. It was only $50.
Couldn’t a Model 3/Y owner also just disable the phonekey and use the NFC cards? NFC only broadcasts a few inches right? I would think that would be VERY hard for a malicious actor to capture with relay/replay attack.
Following that, is it possible to use the Phonekey only in NFC mode or is it always broadcasting on Bluetooth LE and NFC?
As I said before, congress passed a law that allowed presidents to forgive debt, are you saying congress didn’t support that?
For the third time point to valid source.
“what can be asserted without evidence can also be dismissed without evidence” -Hitchens
Consider yourself dismissed. You’re dancing from point to point as soon as your current point is too weak. I’m guessing you’ll just do that forever because your arguments are too weak to defend. Feel free to reply to oblivion. I won’t be replying. Have a nice day.
Soooo many problems with this according to their own stupid rules. Here’s just a couple:
What gender is the Bible, because you keep telling us there’s only two and you’re telling EVERYONE to marry. You’re telling 50% of the population to engage in a gay marriage.
Okay, so one person went through with the marriage of the appropriate gender. Now you’re still telling a second person to marry the Bible. Are you now endorsing polygamous relationships and polygamy?
When the trifecta of the president, congress, and the voters all disagree with the courts, why can’t they act against them? And who exactly can act against SCOTUS?
Congress disagrees, specifically the House of Representatives, and “all the voters” currently disagrees with SCOTUS? Huge citation needed.
No liberal or progressive should spend time defending this deeply undemocratic judicial branch.
“No true Scotsman”, eh? I’m pointing out the rules in our Constitution for how our government works.
We have a peaceful transfer of power during administration changes. I don’t understand how you are so quick to try and throw that away. Thats what Trump tried to do on Jan 6th. Why are you suggesting following his playbook?
I asked for a citation on this. Show me where you’re seeing that please.
It’s cited by Biden himself, but you can google yourself, you might learn something.
You make the claim, you’ve got to back it up.
I think you are confusing the actions of the unelected SCOTUS who routinely takes actions against the will of the people.
I’m not a fan of the current make up of the SCOTUS, but its never been their job to represent the “will of the people”. Their job is to interpret laws written by the Legislative Branch and signed into by the Executive.
I don’t think you have a good grasp of the basics of our system of government.
If Biden wants to stop unilateral actions, he literally needs to fight against this far right SCOTUS.
If you’re looking for insurrectionists, you’ll find them on the Conservative side.
