That reference eludes me. If it's from HOC, forgive me; haven't watched either version in a while.

Read it and liked it.

I have a feeling Israel would rather just stop invading other countries and genociding Palestinians than instigate a nuclear holocaust and killing all of themselves.

I'm sure that's exactly what will happen; that the bombs will only kill the people you don't like and won't hurt anybody else whatever. Because that's how atomic bombs work, right?

It's amazing how history works.

At the time, the West 'losing China' was a political hurricane. Stalin and Mao were seen as unstoppable and nuclear war was on everyone's minds. France was seen as a vital part of the West's alliance, and even the threat of them leaving was disastrous.

Hindsight is always 20/20.

Here's the Socialist argument for Harris.

Ho Chi Minh would have know all about America's long history of slavery and genocide.

Ho helped the American OSS run missions in Vietnam during WW2.

Your allies don't have to be perfect.

Similarly, Woodward and Bernstein showed the corporations how dangerous an independent press was.

Back in Watergate Era, there were plenty of locally owned newspapers and TV stations. Today, thanks to ronald reagan's assault on the Fairness Doctrine, we have six major media companies controlling what we hear.

So, you think that if Trump dies in office Vance won't be worse? Vance is younger and smarter and ready to do anything to stay in power.

There's no legal requirement for a movie to have anything.

Most people contract for certain things, but it's all negotiable. Say a big time director like Nolan wanted to have no credits at all; he'd have to make a lot of concessions to the Screen Actors Guild and the other unions, but he could do it if he really wanted to.

So, the people who were next to him knew he was doing this, but waited until he was out of office to tell people?

They expect fire fighters and nurses to put their lives on the line on a dialy basis, but their jobs are vitally important.
