The odds of a UK F-35 ever firing a missile at a Russian jet are exceedingly low. Russia is mired in Ukraine, terrible at warfare, and not in any position to fight NATO.
The odds of the UK having to fight for the hearts and minds of people all over the world against Russian propoganda are 100%.

Why does Trump need executive orders? If his ideas are so great they can be implemented via procedural norms, right? If US institutions are so great, why is Trump undermining them all? Can't wait for all the European leaders to ask Rubio these great questions

... Real trials of charges against Bondi and Noem and Vance and Trump. With real evidence and witnesses.
Make clear to that jury of 100 that the world will forever remember their votes and whether they were faithful to the Constitution they've sworn to uphold.

Genuinely, the most utility I've ever got out of an AI is having it stroke my ego, which I obviously stopped doing pretty quick. I'm not against using AI, but after nearly 4 years I'm yet to find anything useful besides novelty + occasional search
