The action of attacking random ships in international waters?

This is piracy, and it puts huge numbers of civilian lives at direct risk and increases the chance someone else will also do it in future.

The entire international community has a duty to stop this by almost any means.

Their reasons for attacking civilian shipping in international waters could not be less important to the situation.

I'm certain the police in this story didn't go to high-school

I agree with this but also I'm not sure if this isn't already a proxy war with iran-russia, and it also seems to benefit china too.

And even if netanyahu wasn't an arse, he's totally reliant on some awful people to stay in power, and out of prison, for however long he can manage both.

Pushing back publically against his actions now is equivalent to demanding regime change in Israel and while I think it would be a good thing I can see why geopolitically it's difficult for the US to do.

The requirement to adopt the euro is not something that can be forced. You can agree to do it eventually when you join, when any country joins, but the EU would never kick a country out of the EU unless they moved to the euro at a specific time.

The UK will one day rejoin, will agree to one day use the euro and then like many other countries in the EU will never use the euro

Someone will have to be there still, but they can do more useful things than sit in a box staring at signals

It's not local politics. They're saying it's brexit

It would be easier to make public transport free and add more to the tourist taxes paid by hotels

I think you have to look at the money here. The most charitable view for substack is their payment provider doesn't ban Nazis, and their VC funders don't want them to ban Nazis, and so they don't really have a choice.

I think substack is well up for being a nazi bar based on what they've said so I'm happy to give them some blame but I won't be letting the other two off the hook either.

The suffragettes were pretty disruptive, even the peaceful ones. The bombing suffragettes were extremely disruptive.
