It's incredible, after all the grotesque stories about rape, torture and murder of children, men and women during the Iraq war, active support of genocide (and 10s of thousands of children murdered by Israel, on purpose), prisoners rape and child imprisonment, a "secretary of war" and president publicly admiting to war crimes and saying things like "negotiate with bombs" you still "refuse to believe" that anyone in decision chain wouldn't do anything like this.
My comment is to say the US has proven how brutal they are consistently through all the wars of aggression they have waged in the past several decades. They do not see their "enemies" as human. I can't fix anything unfortunately.
The idea is that criticism of Iran from an Iranian-American would have more merit. However, we have no way to confirm the validity of this claim. It could very well be someone pretending to be an Iranian-American.
In my experience, I find people who are "former ABC-ian" to actually be very heavily biased, if not outright lying about ABC. Mentally, I'd say it's worth less weight than someone with no information.
They left because they were unhappy with things. The former British folks are enraged about human rights abuses and societal collapse in Britain. The ex-Christians will rarely praise the Bible.
Not that there's zero weight, it's still a perspective to consider. But it has to be fact checked thoroughly.
The problem you have when you try to shield your armed forces with civilians is that you then place those civilians in danger.
What do you expect will happen when an armed force uses civilians as shields? It's not a rhetorical question, I really want to know what you expect an attacking force to do. Stop attacking?
chdb's new DataStore API looks really neat (drop in pandas replacement) and exactly how I envisioned a faster pandas could be without sacrificing its ergonomics
I think that's a sane take. Indeed, I think most data analysts find it much easier to use pandas over polars when playing with data (mainly the bracket syntax is faster and mostly sensible)
