Holy shit, NYT deleted that top comment to control the narrative. I honestly didn’t think they’d be so bold. It’s gone. The new top comment is:

Good that we have funding for Ukraine. The funding for Israel should go to relief supplies for the people of Gaza and not the Israeli military.

No kidding. Also, spending $1 billion on aid, and $60 billion on weapons to kill the same people, is insane on its face.

Some good news - this is so on the nose that even the good liberal subscribers are not biting. Most upvoted comment atm:

“It’s a good day for world peace,” - how utterly grotesque. I sometimes wonder if Joe Biden genuinely has no idea he’s going to lose in November.

I wonder how history will explain these moves. It’s comforting to assume actors being rational, but this is a case of just the opposite guiding a country. Argentina is basically a vast expanse on the edge of the earth. What purpose could a military possibly serve for them? Their relationship with Brazil, their literal only credible threat, was good until recently…it’s just incredible that anyone is able to conjure a lens through which this looks like a good idea

If this is a modern version of a sedentary society going soft, then who are the modern steppe nomads that will sweep them?

seems like this is a photonic computer? wild

What message are they trying to send by claiming responsibility for this?

哎呀😅

Solid work as always from Ben Norton
