Israeli security officials seem to believe that the state can maintain its "qualitative military edge" even if the F-35 is delivered to Saudi Arabia, but they acknowledge that the deal makes Israeli-Saudi normalization significantly less likely to ever occur absent a change in Israel on the 2SS.
Saudi F-35 sale triggers Israeli concern, though military edge may remain intact
Experts say Israel's air superiority can withstand US sending advanced fighter jets to Riyadh, but worry deal puts normalization on ice and could trigger regional arms race

An interesting profile of a liberal white woman who I wasn't aware of until she interviewed Cory Booker and grilled him on his support for Israel. The piece devotes a few paragraphs to this, and how support for Palestine is now a mainstream position among liberals, but not Democratic congresspeople.
Is This Former Bravo Star Democrats’ Toughest Critic?

the automation of violence and surveillance and the concentration of wealth by flattening the job market all tend towards feudal systems of organization
I think there's a real chance if you can fully automate violence you basically revert to feudal social dynamics, which seems really bad

*analogizing a society operating under Malthusian limitations to our own is absolutely irresponsible and just shows the poster doesn't understand the world we live in*
There were places in Anitolia 3,100 years ago with advanced civilization - trade, government, literature, industry - that, within a single generation, regressed into isolated subsistence agriculture and stayed that way for 500 years.

One thing that drives me insane is people who think that their personal firearm is gonna be a service rifle that wins a civil war like it's 1775 which like... no
I find “civil war” discourse a little funny.
No one is going to be rocking AR15s by year 8 of the thing.
The final battle for Washington will be fought by the Cali forces rocking a mix of Type 89s, K2s, C7s, supporting by base M1 Abrams reactivated by Korean techs at SIAD and Toyotas in BDUs.
