Maybe if it was singular explosion, but modern nuclear arsenals are built around MRV and MIRV warheads.

Take your badhistory bullshit somewhere else. I just watched Gladiator, and Anthony Hopkins never said that, so...yeah, GTFO.

This isn't a revelation. There was a consensus understanding that she made it up years ago. I mean, the prosecutor was disbarred....

Churchill wasn't bad simply because he was a racist... I think retrograde views on race are one of the areas where it's reasonable make allowances when judging historical figures.

Churchill was an aristocrat and an imperialist responsible for numerous atrocities within Britain's colonial holdings, and that's not even going into his anti-labor beliefs and practices.

The reason why I didn't provide you an alternative was because your original comment never required you to mention Churchill. That was an unforced error on your part, as the comment you were responding to wasn't an analogy to begin with.

But if you're deadset on needing an alternative for your unnecessary analogy, FDR is easily the best of a bad bunch.

Spoken like someone who has no historical understanding of Churchill's pre-WWII legacy. He's not retroactively awful, he was awful by the standards of his own era.

Oh fuck...why did the DoD post the name of the street I grew up on, the city my parents met in, and the name of my first pet?

Winston Churchill was a genuinely awful human being and a war criminal prior to WWII.

He lucked out by also being a moderately competent wartime leader, who gets to be juxtaposed against Hitler for eternity.

Also, Brett Stephens is a bed bug and has a terrible track record of properly handling public backlash to his writing. I hope dark days are ahead for him.

Did you read the article?

The girls mother reported him to the Dubai police.

Hopefully her identity is revealed to the public and she faces some consequences for her actions. Maybe it's already been leaked or released elsewhere, but it wasn't in that article.

"Google Quantum AI"

No. Just no.

Have you taken a look at Facebook or Twitter....?

This is the single most unifying event in America since the Game of Thrones finale...

MAGA chuds, blue hairs, tankies, and normies, are all pretty united in their collective "lol".

Money isn't the issue, at least not a real limiting issue. Any major European leader crying about it, should go suck on a tailpipe.

The real limiting factors are existing European stockpiles, and limited industrial capacity for things like high volume munition and artillery shell production.

On a barely related note, that reminds me of this classic financial media segment.

Did you mean to send that reply to me?

I ask because I'm not quite sure what specific suggestions you're looking for.

But in general, I would suggest not exposing port forwarding.

What services are running behind NGINX? What router/firewall are you using?

They are frequently targeted because they offer enterprise grade configurations at consumer prices.

Which means, there's a lot that can be misconfigured, and a lot of short staffed and under budgeted IT departments that deploy them, which means they are a good payoff when exploited.

That's the bad part, and the good part.

You really cannot beat their price point to value for professional grade networking equipment. Just take the time to understand what you're doing when doing your configurations, and keep them updated.

Can't say I've met the elusive DeSantis/Green voter.

It's almost like Newsweek is a rag publication and anyone who actually believes Greens pull from Trump, well, they read Newsweek.

Absolutely. Especially software that has to interface with specific hardware, which often times can have issues working properly with Windows VMs.

I can just dedicate some old hardware for baremetal Win10, but not everyone has that luxury.

If they were laying siege to a military base, sure.

But they were laying siege to a city.... Maybe you should go read up on the history of siege warfare to get a better understanding of how that impacts civilian populations. Heck, forget medieval times, just look back to the '90s to the Siege of Sarajevo.

Also, prior to this 20th century, there were no Geneva Conventions, and prior to Nuremberg, no international war crime tribunals. So not sure what your point is.

Either way, it's a cartoon world. My entire point was that cartoons shouldn't be held to a standard that must reflect our reality, but that logic must applied equally. Either it reflects our reality, or it doesn't.

You can't say it reflects our reality, but because he was a good guy in the end, that negates his war crimes. That's not how war crimes work.

So, if we're discussing this in terms where the cartoon parallels our reality, then yes, laying siege to a city full of civilians is a war crime, full stop.

Siege warfare of a city is absolutely a war crime.

Additional academic reading on the subject.

Are you actually saying that a soldier who participated in the Rape of Nanking, decapitated 30 babies, but who then felt bad and deserted before the end of the war, wouldn't be a war criminal....?

I honestly think the real confusion here is that you have no idea how the Geneva Conventions, ICJ, or just the concept of war crime culpability actually work...

Hint: you're so wrong, that it's actually embarrassing. I'm cringing for you. You should delete your comment before anyone else stumbles across it...

Because I said Nazi SS officer, instead of IJA General..?

I'm sorry, they're both war criminals.... Are you saying that using a different race invalidates the analogy about war criminals...?
