Takes a massive fool to think European companies are basing their data in US continent, where the ping would be >150ms, and speeds would be far slower and less manageable.

It’s actually simpler than that: It’s not in regulatory compliance. Cloud providers need to host their data centers in different regions because of geopolitical instability, including the distinct possibility of this scenario, among other localized regulatory factors. These companies may be headquartered in America but they still are at the whim of many different governments.

A “slap fight”? Is that what you call the severity of the situation, or the reconciliation of your own wrong politics?

There is no “likewise”. You suck at the trolley problem, plain and simple.

Iran isn’t known for it’s cybersecurity divisions. Right wing states generally aren’t good with technology. So I’m not worried about a cyber attack.

In fact, it’s tough to say what Iran’s military capacity is at all. We pelt them with drone strikes and long range missiles constantly and they seem like they can do nothing about it. We keep talking about all this enriched uranium they possess, but do they even possess the capacity to deliver the payload to our domestic soil before we thwart them?

They’ll likely go after Israel first, so we’ll soon see the extent of their armaments.

It’s actually the perfect analogy, you just can’t see it because you’re stuck in the bubble.

Purity politics have enabled more than one genocide, thanks to the non-voter.

I grow apathetic of the purity politics and blind gluttony of the left, yet as a progressive I am obliged to play their game? Fuck that. The price of ignorant bliss is suffering, and I refuse to pander to privileged electorates that think they can afford to play with peoples lives. This isn’t centrism, it’s giving up.

I’d rather watch it all burn. The petri dish is long overdue for a rinse in this terribly drawn out social experiment.

I would have thought eating the same gruel every day would have prevailed over eating saute shit a la fascism. As it turns out, Americans aren’t good at binary decision making and some like to be imaginary revolutionaries.

Actually, yeah. A lot of people voted third party and many more stayed home. I will blame them.

Purity politics needs to end. Some of you MFs need to learn strategy, and play a game like Civ. If Iran harasses Israel, bully for us. Two of the worst people we know are now fighting, we should celebrate this reprieve.

Too right. Dove and Hawk scenario.

No. If you wanna ditch the Internet, go right ahead.

I would assume that operational and logistics costs apply to this figure. Aka shipping and handling, which is never free.

Did 2024 not teach you that already? It’s all a lost cause.

Democrats… Too soft and impotent to commit to a fight, as usual.

Shit hasn’t hit the fan for anyone economically yet, and the media is busy painting it as violent protests.

Chuck doesn’t do anything useful. In fact he’s one of 47’s enablers. New York (greetings from) is having a tremendously hard time removing him, and bootlicker Gillibrand.

Deploy tactical Bison on ICE raids?
