I believe he’s referencing the decision on the Harvard affirmative action case, not the student debt relief decision. Supreme Court has been busy this week!

It’s okay when we do it 😎😎😎

You mean you don’t like all the top comments on a serious discussion post just being a bunch of low effort memes and puns??? But the content is the comments you guys! They’re so funny I promise!!!

Libertarianism happened, in conjunction with a few signed waivers.

I think worrying about people making fun of some rich ass billionaires dying for doing something stupid, is the last hill you should choose to die on. These people made their riches and wealth by exploiting normal people like you and me.

You don’t have to actively root for their deaths, but I’m certainly not shedding any tears for them experiencing the consequences of their own actions.

Anyone who doesn’t think Israel is willingly and consciously committing genocide is living under a rock. This has been their standard operating procedure since at least the 70s. The strategy is to boil the frog just slowly enough to avoid international outrage, and continue to get western aid. But not too quickly as to enrage other Middle Eastern powers.

It’s also a factor of Russia not competently executing the initial invasion and got themselves bogged down. Similar to the Germans in WW1 on the western front, they got bogged down before they could take their key objectives, but the eastern front remained mostly mobile during the war because of the vast size of the front, and they eventually won on that front. Because you either win by our maneuvering your enemy an encircling them, or attriting the hell out of them till they have nothing left, and I think the pendulum has swung again towards a defensive advantage, especially with UAVs and remote mine laying systems, and precision artillery munitions.

It’s a big part of why US doctrine is so focused on quick fast and overwhelming assaults and a strike first mentality. Even in Desert Storm they were severely worried about being bogged down by the Iraqi Army and starting a prolonged conflict with massive American losses. So it was imperative to flank the Iraqi Army from the western desert by the French Armored Corps.

It’s understandably difficult when the Ukrainians fail to make gains, but it’s Russian incompetence when they do it?

I really don’t think it’s just in the probing stage. Ukraine has had a lot of losses trying to punch through Russian lines and have even publicly stated they have called for an operational pause to re-evaluate their tactics.

The tactical/strategic reserves just haven’t been deployed because a breakthrough hasn’t happened yet.
