This is inherently political, but I think the overall intention of the article is to highlight one of the larger media pushes against Trump, and one of Biden's campaign promises, and the hypocrisy therein of his escalation of this.

I enjoyed watching that when it was first created! Any word of a 1080p for that one? I'd even take a release of the timestamps so that I could make the edit to my 1080p versions.

Massive non sequitur there. Taliban does not have military bases on US soil to fortify with 100 personnel.

I'm not disagreeing that the US is assisting in genocide. Has been for a while, and the top two projected candidates for US presidency will further perpetuate this.

But this 100 troop movement is insignificant and is being played up for drama and clicks.

First off, as with every time domestic terrorism is discussed, US armed forces cannot carry out hostilities on domestic soil.

Second off, it's 100 personnel. Barely a blip on the total number of deployable personnel, and it's an air defense group without offensive capabilities.

Clickbait is clickbait.

Reading through this discussion and considering my own daily life, I find that indeed my utilization of smartphones is limited to primarily other existing advances in technology not directly associated with phones. Primarily Internet. In fact, I might be a bit abnormal because my 8 hours at work, my phone is not directly on my person and rarely used. I do, however, need to utilize it for 2FA authentication ~1-2 times per day. Which, digital personal keys were a thing before phones.

So yeah, I'd say that smartphones aren't a big advancement, but the combination of multiple other technological advancements.

you...like...Hitler

So you're saying that you like Hitler? Holy cow, get a load of this guy!

Everyone, get in here and rally against this person!

Yeah, we tried that one. I didn't think anyone's stomach volume is large enough for that amount. None of us could get past the 45 minute mark.

Sounds like a fun game! Depending on tolerance, maybe beer instead of shots...

Reminds me of the game thunderstruck. Get everyone in a circle with a few drinks on hand. Start the song "thunderstruck" by AC/DC. First person starts chugging and on every time they say "thunderstruck", that person stops chugging and the next in line starts. Very fun but uneven. Once the into starts, one person is chugging for a bit.

What if Ukraine invades Russia and overthrows Putin? And established a better government with interest in caring for the people, nuclear de-escalation, and better foreign relations?

I know it's never going to happen, but imagine how great that would be? St. Petersburg isn't that far into Russia...
