The worry is that, when it comes, the debate over rejoining the EU will be just as frivolous as was the debate over leaving it.
It is perfectly possible to believe that the economic costs of the UK leaving the EU and the economic benefits of rejoining are asymmetric.

the Palestinian movement repeatedly instructs us not to use AI; it diminishes real Palestinians who are actually surviving a genocide, and moreover gives the enemy material evidence to claim everything we're is saying is fake, backed up by AI-generated garbage.
we would do well to internalize that.

In Argentina, we have a horrible past related to the use of torture in the fight of an alleged "internal enemy." Sounds familiar? Coincidentally (or not), this bloody past also involves the 2 other countries voting against this resolution.

The military has a duty to refuse unlawful orders, but Congress has a duty to remove from office a president and secretary who would issue such orders. There is something off about members of Congress talking about the former while refusing to say the latter, the part that's actually their job here.
