Nope. The Chinese Communist Party specifically targeted the US rare earth mining. US mining was more expensive because they have to operate in a somewhat ethical manner with respect to pollution. China does not, and Mongolia's mining areas are being turned into a toxic wasteland. The CCP is trading Mongolia's environmental health for lower prices to undercut the US industry and force it to shut down.

The CCP successfully shut down a responsibly operated mine in California. Then after it close China partners with the mine to resume operation, but all minerals must be sent to China for processing. China has a strategic goal to control rare earth minerals.

Rare earth is just yet another area where China uses predatory practices against US industry. It is not US industry that has sold out, it is US politicians that have sold out. They are largely bought and paid for by China.

Sure, that Javascript and a hierarchy of 40 libraries ain't cheap. And that's before internet connectivity is added.

There is more balance on the non-TikTok platforms. TikTok is more consistently anti-US. It is a long term strategic tool of the CCP.

The bait for the propoganda.

Its not just spying. Its the control of information, which manufacture opinions. TikTok in China is extremely different due to the way China wants to influence Chinese youth vs American youth. Its a long term strategic tool of the CCP.

Nope. As you say, Israel wasn't born yet so there wasn't the central planning and control nor a controlling authority, That said, in that chaotic period the general behavior was to aggressively counterattack those who attacked first. The villages completely destroyed pretty much attacked a Jewish village first and failed. Also the unarmed villagers were generally driven off not killed.

Nope.

Yes, they are seeing an Army doing more to minimize civilian casualties during combat operations than pretty much any other Army in history.

Politics plus a healthy dose of preexisting hatred. The only thing preventing humanitarian relief today is Hamas and the continued holding of hostages.

Yes, true in some aspects. Yet they have Arab political parties, members in parliament, a Supreme Court judge is Arab, they have jobs in the civil service, state run companies must have at least one Arab on its board, Arabs serve in the IDF - including as generals, Jews and Arabs have exactly the same civil rights, however Arabs cannot be drafted into the IDF, they must volunteer. Does defining Israel as a Jewish State make some feel second class, yes. The same as Jews and Christians living in Islamic countries. Are some Jewish Israeli's suspicious or hostile, bigoted, yes. Does less government money go to Arab neighborhoods, yes. And the largest grievance of all is with respect to the right of return, here Arabs are absolutely discriminated against. However most of these Arab that fled did so after fighting and losing, or were removed by Arab forces who then went on to lose. Did some innocents who were not engaged in the fighting get caught up in that, sure. And it's harsh to assume guilt without evidence, but that's what happens in war. Again, the villages that remained peacefully were generally left alone. And they live in peace to this day. The PLO, Hamas, Hezbollah, Islamic Jihad, etc are what brings the true pain and misery to the Palestinian people; they are what prevents peace and development of Gaza and other regions.

Nope, Neither racist nor ultra right. As mentioned above Arab citizens have the exact same legal rights. Politically they have a typical left, center, right sort of split.

Reality is that they don't want to kill Tik Tok, what they don't want is Chinese Communist Party involvement. They don't want Tik Tok used as a CCP propaganda and disinformation tool, nor as surveillance tool for the CCP to profile Americans. Remove connections to the CPP and keep servers and data in the US and Tik Tok will be fine.

A lifetime graph of a device's price is not necessarily a descending asymptotic line. Its often 'U' shaped, after some optimal point the price starts going up. Declining use leads to a loss of efficiency of scale..

Bring them back? The Palestinians are Canaanites.

Interbreeding with others during the diaspora does not change their Jewish origins. Neither does the Canaanite interbreeding with invading Arabs change their Canaanite origins.

The Khazar Khaganate was multiethnic, pagan, jewish, christian, muslim, and others. As I said, there was interbreeding during the diaspora. Religious conversion is common when people of different origins marry.

That happens with interbreeding. What is more important than looks though is keeping the faith, literally, during hard times. Are the pales skinned blue eyed muslims of the Khazar Khaganate not muslim?

Some stayed and converted, some stayed and maintained their jewish identity, and some fled and maintained their jewish identify and their descendants decided to return. And those returning descendants were content to live in peace with those who did not flee. Each believing as they wished. Again, Palestinian residents of Israel and Palestinian citizens of Israel live in peace in Israel.

One does not lose jewish identity because one parent was a convert, again its more about keeping the faith through the centuries.

Indonesians do live in Arabia, peacefully, like the Arabs living in Israel, peacefully.

Nope. Israeli Jews have lived in peace with other peoples who lived in peace with them, as numerous Palestinian residents of Israel and Palestinian citizens of Israel have done for decades. Israeli soldiers do not use civilians as human shields, they do not send out civilians as suicide bombers.

Of course, The current government of Gaza is Hamas, a terroristic death cult. To be clear, the death cult aspect does not apply to Hamas leadership, only their minions and ordinary Palestinians need to sacrifice themselves.

What we call Palestine in WW2 days was once called Israel in biblical times. The main principal of zionism is that jews are returning to their original homeland.

Not a blockade. They monitored imports to prevent weapons. Just like Egypt does at its Gaza port.

We've had BVR since the 1960s. However the use of BVR is often prevented by the fog of war.

Like missiles, which did not make manned aircraft obsolete.

Like torpedo boats, which did not make cruisers and battleship obsolete.

Today's ACM is based on the limitation of having a human pilot. A lot of space and weight in today's aircraft is for a human pilot.

Entirely new tactics would be developed for unmanned aircraft.

We don't need 11G capable aircraft because everyone else is limited to human capabilities. If a machine is developed that can precisely maneuver, aim and fire while at 11G everything changes. And the precision of control is probably more important than speed itself.
