The announce was to calm some of the US allies, both strong (Korea and Japan) and weak ones like Philippines, about the commitment of the US military in that area.

The path isn’t totally random, because there are some persistent factors in our enviroment (temperature, presence of water, radiation from the sun, etc) that make more probable some process than others. Also, the more common is a gene across all species, the most probably it with survive.

But if all mammals disappear,…

There are two issues in the China - North Korea relations. The most immediate is if NK collapses, there would be a lot of refugees crossing the border with China, and they don’t want that.

Because it could bring a lot of unforeseen consequences, including North Korea attacking South Korea (and most probably, trying to focus the attacks on the capital Seoul, because is near to the border) and starting a war with the US and China.

Look, nobody likes him, but the main lesson of the Iraq War is that a…

If you define it as “fighting an enemy” the answer is yes, the US military is more capable than any other in the world to fight any enemy. Now, if you define it as “winning and enemy” the answer is depending of the kind of adversary. Is capable to win another army (as the Iraqui army) but no so to non-national groups,…

For start, you should blame every single president since Dwight Eisenhower and 1953 Iranian coup for the lack of long-term clear objectives. Or Ronald Reagan and supporting the mujahideen in Afganisthan against the Soviet Union, giving chemical weapons to Iraq against Iraq (that old times when Donald Rumsfeld was…

It's not bad to stay away of Roundup if you are risk averse. What the IARC says is that we should take care about using the elements in those categories, so probably there would be more restrictions for using that product until there is more information.

The Sum of All Fears

Don't do a "No true Scotsman" fallacy. Her parents, the christian therapists and the people that told her to "look to God for help" are Christians.

Probably isn't because of CoCom Limits (chips disabling if it moves faster than 1.000 knots and/or an altitude more of 18.000 ft) but the ability of the chip of detect weak signals inside the plane and/or capable to run in cold-mode without A-GPS through mobile data networks.

There are restrictions called CoCom Limits, created during the Cold War, that applied to civilian GPS receivers to avoid that systems to be used to guide missiles. If the receiver a) moves faster than 1.000 knots and/or b) is higher than 18.000 ft, it can disable itself. Depending of the manufacturer it could be…
