Cars are a perfect storm of physical power differential over others, likelihood of impunity, socially reinforced entitlement, normalisation of threats of violence, & a dynamic that frames all other road users as "in the way" to make even otherwise kind considerate gentle people be their worst selves

A Chinese official attempted some of that Wolf Warrior Diplomacy ™ shit. It did not go well. Philippines' Defence Minister Gilberto Teodoro was speaking up for smaller nations and international law at a forum in Korea when he was handed a note from a Chinese official, meant as intimidating.

The Warsaw Pact is the only mutual defense alliance in history to repeatedly invade itself as members were not permitted to interfere in their own internal affairs. Da. Prez is aware most of these tanks are now wrecks in Ukraine.

These gloves don't cause neuromuscular incapacitation the way that a taser does. In fact, they only work when applied directly to bare skin. These aren't made for apprehending anyone. These have one and only one use: causing extreme pain to already-restrained captives. In plain language: torture.

Hey Mike, you know that feeling of not belonging? Of being treated like an outsider? That's how non-Christians feel when politicians like you push Christian nationalism. America belongs to all of us equally, and our government should act like it.

I know Iranian illegitimate regime has a lot of fans here due to the fact that it was Trump who attacked it, but attacks like these are simply unprovoked aggression against civilian shipping of uninvolved countries and Iranian regime shouldn't be allowed to do it.

That is to say, from an ethical standpoint, you cannot appeal to the principle of sovereignty when you hold power by massacring dissenters. Practically, a crusade against tyrants is not on the cards, but I think it’s worth distinguishing the practical from the moral.

Perhaps my most neo-con view is that (at least in theory) only democracies can claim sovereignty, since sovereignty can only come from the people. It may be convenient to acknowledge authoritarian governments as a practical matter, but we need not think of them as legitimate.
