I've no idea whether Ivermectin does anything for Covid, but I do know that if it does work the medical mafia would never admit that they blocked a drug which would have saved many lives at near-zero cost. The lawsuits alone would bankrupt many of them.

What we do is irrelevant in the long term because antibiotic-resistant bugs will evolve in other countries which don't care. We might stop antibiotic-resistant bugs evolving here but the new ones will soon arrive on an airliner.

This was always going to be a perpetual arms race and we're no longer competent enough to develop new arms in the race.

That doesn't really matter though, because manufacturers won't make ICE vehicles if they've been told they won't be able to sell then in ten years.

China loves this, of course, because they have little experience of making ICE vehicles and the EU can't compete against cheap Chinese EVs. Almost like they've paid Western politicians to destroy Western auto manufacturers.

The amount of material dumped into the atmosphere by Starlink is dwarfed by the amount which is dumped there naturally by meteors.

This whole "But Muh Pollution!" nonsense has absolutely crippled progress in the West over the last few decades. Which is probably why Russia and China pushed it so hard on us while ignoring their own pollution.

Accurate statement: "Humans invented a way to harness CRISPR/Cas9 to create transgenic organisms"

Inaccurate statement: "Humans invented CRISPR/Cas9"

This isn't complicated.

I think it's more of a military policy than an economic policy. The parasitic elite want war with China so they can loot all its stuff, and see this as a way to improve the odds.

Only Normies care about The Economy these days. Everyone else is focused elsewhere.

It's bizarre that people think China can't rapidly catch up with anything the West does that they consider of strategic importance when half the engineers going through Western colleges these days are Chinese and they're actually going into engineering rather than finance, advertising or some other parasitic endeavour that produces nothing of real value here in the West.

In five years China will be shipping cheap AI chips all over the world and Nvidia will have to go back to gaming. If Windows hasn't completely crashed and burned by then.

If there were animals adeptly using fire long before humans existed, we would not call humans the first to "master fire" just because humans understood what they were doing.

Here is a list of all the animals besides humans who have mastered the use of CRISPR technology:

FYI, humans didn't invent CRISPR/Cas9 - bacteria and archaea did.

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/CRISPR

It's an antiviral immune system. They bait bacteriophages into inserting their genes into noncoding regions of their genome, and then use CRISPR/Cas9 to match up anything from these noncoding regions that are in their coding regions, and to cut it out.

We humans stole that tech from them :) They mastered it long before we ever existed.

The evidence that NATO said they wouldn't expand towards Russia is literally publicly-available in British government archives.

It's literally documented history, much of which has even been published in Western Dinosaur Media.

But, you know, Russians under the bed and all.

Iraq invaded Kuwait and was forced out of Kuwait a decade before America invaded Iraq. Everyone knew that the WMDs the West provided to Iraq had either been used, destroyed or rotted away in storage, and even people on the ground in Iraq looking for the supposed WMDs said there weren't any. Bush invaded because he wanted to, not because there was any sane reason to.

None of the 9/11 hijackers were Afghans. I don't believe Bin Laden had Afghan citizenship either, but I may be wrong. Bush could have justified using the military to capture Bin Laden and friends, but they were quickly forgotten because the real goal was to take over Afghanistan.

Trump's problem is that because of Democracy he needs Graham and the other Neocons to not impeach him. And they want war with Russia.

He could have ended the war on day one by cutting off US aid and intelligence information to Ukraine, but then the Republicans in Congress would have blocked everything he wanted to do and impeached him.

Your problem is that you appear to believe that politics is about telling the truth, when it's one of the most corrupt endeavours in human history. Only Boomers think "OMG The President LIED!" is somehow noteworthy after decades of politicians lying to us all the time.

The smart people look at what Trump does rather than what he says.

If I remember correctly, Donbass asked the Russians to send in peacekeepers because Kiev was shelling them again. Putin decided that wasn't enough and sent troops to Kiev to force the Ukainian government to make an agreement to not be dicks. Boris Johnson told Zelensky that NATO would support him if he fought Russia instead of making an agreement to not be a dick, so now we're on the verge of WWIII.

But in this particular case, everyone with a brain knows Ukraine has been deliberately attacking a nuclear power plant because the Russians would have to be literally insane to be attacking a nuclear power plant that they control. And there's decent evidence that the goal of their Kursk attack was to capture the Kursk nuclear power plant and threaten to Chernobyl it if Putin didn't end the war.

The problem for that in much of the West is that people don't want to have to interact with The Public or have to live near them.
