Ah, so meme grade bleeding heart logic of "the poorer side with worse weapons is the victim". Next on the news, South Korea is oppressing the poor communists in the north. Gaza is most definitely not unarmed, and its armed people most definitely do not respect any laws requiring them to...

Then you should learn to see things, because there is a difference even if you don't see it, and it results in you attacking Israel for not playing a "not touching you" game between Israel, Lebanon and Hezbollah. It's called hybrid warfare, you should have heard about it by now, if you didn't...

Israel is not bombing Lebanon, it's bombing Hezbollah militias on territory of Lebanon - who for all practical purposes are an unofficial military independent of Lebanese government and state, with sufficient power to not care if they are legal or not, and doing whatever the fuck they want as...

It's a question whether Su-57 actually *is* in the first place. There are some glorified prototypes of some degree of functionality... Yet it's telling that the multirole stealth planes that supposedly are so great and nearing 3 dozens built are not in the war when the nice new gen 4.5 tactical...

But in fact they do that, and in a more literal way than western agencies. The fact that you are not seeing this and several other attempts of theirs to do exactly that shows that either you are willfully blind or Kremlin values the opinion of your demographic so little that it doesn't even...

Everyone does it since countries invented espionage.

CIA: Mucking about in Ukraine for the last decade. FSB: Those are rookie numbers...

>how he treats the NAP Implying other libertarians treat it differently, it's not like Friedman is the pope of libertarians. Yeah, sure, but it is irrelevant how countries in a calm geopolitical neighborhood act as that's not challenging to it, and even in case of Israel you will get...

A definition only some libertarians agree with. Now. And didn't even exist when people started calling themselves libertarian. So, you're just Rothbardian, trying to tell everyone else what libertarianism means, "surprisingly" the more ideologically divergent kinds don't count. If your...

Seems like we conceptualize libertarianism on a different level - for you it's a moral principle first, with NAP on top, and the rest being up for negotiation on that basis, while i see it as the political idea for small government with lots of freedom for its citizens, that also has some odd...

Lemme rephrase it. Technically, you can act on it unilaterally, my point is that acting on it unilaterally will end up with someone noticing, laughing at you, and screwing you over with that, and then laughing at you again. If you are fine with that, sure, go on, but i'm not interested. In some...

I didn't mean mutual in the libertarian theory sense, but in the common sense and foreign policy context. As in, applicable only to other entities that subscribe to NAP too. Otherwise you are vulnerable to other groups using the classic predatory policy of "When we are in a position of weakness...

I don't care about Rothbardian dogma regarding how NAP should be understood and work in their theoretical world. There are animals that can kill hedgehogs regardless of their spines and survive. There's no data about which agree with which. It's a party of not just libertarians, but a specific...

NAP has to be mutual. On the international area, it rarely is, trying to pretend the other side does while it clearly doesn't give a damn beyond how it can be exploited for own benefit is just begging to be mogged on. For now it is a theoretical question, as there is not one, nevermind multiple...

Or in one sentence, libertarians aren't hippies, and Rothbardians, oh the irony, don't get a monopoly on judging what constitutes real libertarianism.

Either way, there is a secondary division between the more pragmatic people who say that whether one reforms them or abolishes them, some kind of replacement will be needed anyway because a serious country needs a intel and counter-intel agencies and federal law enforcement, details up in the...

Not from a liberal...

So judging from your complaining, you want us to not have slaughterbots while China does? Are you volunteering to fight them with a preferably non-cyberpunk weapon in some analogy to some yet non-existent neo-Luddite movie, or are you suggesting the Chinese, CCP power play veteran overlords with...

Yes, it is vulnerable. Even a teenage script kiddy can do this stuff, some do it to troll schools, and one former student took it far enough to get into the news. That's why every high security computer has it set so that USB either doesn't automatically connect with any external devices, or...
