Yes and because C3 is a golden ball, you should confidently switch to the second door. Because now it's just the Monty Hall problem with balls instead of goats. When the madman chose a door to opened, he deliberately chose a bad (mixed) door, otherwise he would have given away the correct location. The fact, that he opened the third instead of the second gives you new information, that you can take advantage of by switching, increasing your chances. Had the ball been silver, it might have been revealed to come from a bad door.

Edit: damn I just realized he picked the ball from the first door, not the second. Okay in that case we might actually have to calculate probabilities, but I'm too lazy for that.

Well just days before that, Iran published intelligence about the IAEA secretly working with Israel, so

And how could anyone seriously disagree? It's so blatantly obviously the truth. The sheer amount of propaganda in Western media is just ridiculous in comparison.

Yay! Go PSL!

China wants the Washington-led neoliberal consensus to persist. Both the US and China have benefited tremendously from such an arrangement at the expense of the entire world.

Hard truths. I'll always defend China against western imperialist propaganda, but your metaphor of a toxic relationship seems quite fitting.

I also don't enjoy reading again and again so many different and partially contradictory variations of the "China is playing the very long game" argument. There might be a lot of truth to that, sure, but we can't really know in every case what the rational is. It's also a very easy way to speculate and pull out of a hat new justifications for almost every concrete action. What a lucky coincidence for Chinese and US capitalist, that all the very different long term strategies China is said to pursue usually favour capital in the mid term.

Also long-term arguments can always be turned around to the past. The US empire wouldn't have survived this long if Nixon hadn't gone to China to make a deal. Global capitalism might not have survived the financial crisis of 2007/2008 without China jumping in with the biggest government spending program ever to prop up demand. Iran is forced to attack the harbor in Haifa, that China built. If rumors about Pakistan drawing a red line and threatening nuclear retaliation in case US/Israel escalate beyond a certain point, can have an effect, than just imagine how effortlessly a single short statement from China could have lessened Palestinian suffering.

That was a great read! Thanks for your effort in transcribing it.

Let's hope not, but it would fit. What's with the surprising accuracy of of food based predictions of the declining evil empires violent fits? First the Pizza party at the pentagram before the attack on Iran. Now steaks predict a US escalation. What's the next headline? Burger orders to the white house signify WW3 is close? New Taco Tuesday at the Supreme Court cantina a sure sign of civil war? Do Donut sales spike everytime before police commits atrocities? Run on chinese takeout just before Wallstreet crashes? Someone should write an entirely fast food based analysis of US policy.

Maybe that's because they got hit by defending missiles out of frame of the video and the wreckage parts are burning upon reentry in the atmosphere?

I wish you a great time with yourself 🙂👍

That attitude is also parroted in German media. They quote Iranian expats who are supposedly happy and thankful for the assassinations. But they are quick to add that "most are too scared to speak freely". One article mentioned only in passing, that people are worried about their families in Iran.

I recall Chris Hedges detailing how the desire and will to annihilate the other is also one of self-annihilation.

That sounds interesting, I'd like to read more about it, but I couldn't find it. Was it from this interview with Gabor Maté, maybe? They tuch on this briefly. But maybe there is more elsewhere. Anyway, I guess it makes sense, but I can't quite explain why.

That worked for me, thanks.
