After that first attack by Israel, my thought was the act was a “trade” with the US.
We’ll be entirely hands off re Gaza & keep funding you, but you need to deal with some things in Iran for us.
This fits that theory.
I don’t like him, but enlistment rates are up. Granted it happened during Biden’s term too.
Usually enlistment is driven by poverty. Food. Housing. Self defense training. Trade skill training when you’d otherwise be stuck at McDonald’s or Walmart. Vs homelessness or living in a trailer with 3 generations of your family and your crackhead uncle living in his trailer parked on the same property.
It is why, in part, there’s little government pushback on poverty. Military recruitment goes up.
There was also a surge after trump won. You can imagine who those people were.
Why the 180? Spite for Putin?
This never surprises me and that’s just sad.
I came here to say Dungeons & Dragons. People of all ages and walks of life play.
Yeah, but I wish this admin could be trusted to get him looked at, honestly, in person, by a professional.
But we can’t. We can only look on in horror as he presents like someone who could have Alzheimer’s.
He is Biden’s age, a year or two makes little difference. Alzheimer’s runs in Trump’s family too.
Biden presented with the standard waxing and waning of dementia. He probably was aok some days. That’s how it works. Dementia onset is more like a picture that gets hit by the sun part of the day, when it’s sunny, not a total erasure. A gentle fading.
Alzheimer’s, however, presents with anger, erratic behavior, and paranoia on the trajectory of a downward spiral. Aggression is a hallmark.
I feel like there’s a lost episode of Fringe in here somewhere.
This is how you know your relative has drunk the koolaid. They sound like this, a parrot, repeating what someone else told them to say.
I think the better statement would be both are emotional, which is simply part of being human.
The difference is women are taught very early to regulate and cope.
Ofc none of this is 100%, nothing involving people is 100%, but emotional regulation, coping, and patience within your emotions is something women have more practice with.
I’m not saying no woman ever has bankrupted the family savings to buy a positive emotion inciting vehicle, but the numbers there would be…less.
Practice matters.
Measles is an interesting dive. It can have a re-write effect on the immune system such that other established immunities get wiped after a measles infection.
As such, it’s best to avoid.
