How did it get so bad? Is there a tl;Dr anywhere that explains it fully?

The article suggests Iran is losing its influence on its proxies. That’s an interesting take, but I wouldn’t hold my breath that it would help simmer things down.
Lots of Chinese seem themselves as white. And plenty of Asians consider lighter skin to mean wealth and upper class.
Bruh, they won’t even protect children in schools. Think they care about protecting children from themselves?
Plenty of people obviously care. The Pope influences the lives of hundreds of millions directly and indirectly. Especially, people in power who have the ability to enact religiou -based laws that affect everything
Short answer is “likely”.
If you work in a field with sensitive data (financial, healthcare, technology, politics) you don’t get a phone designed by a China-government owned company.
I would imagine it’s entirely worth it. The N64 controller didn’t exactly make it easy to use all of the buttons with 2 hands. The Xbox controller has the same number of buttons + a extra thumbstick, but they’re all accessible.
The only issue I can think of is you may have remap certain binds to the left bumper and left trigger.
They have a patrol fleet there, just like other Navies, to ensure freedom of operations. Speculation is that these vessels are meant to takeover the existing patrol fleets duties, but because of the absence of American vessels, due to Israel, the new Chinese vessels will linger longer, or more permanently.
It’s likely he pulled it out of his ass, much like a lot of the headlines he throws up.
The mission-capable rate is 55 percent, but that definition is for a single-task mission. Considering the F-35 is meant to have multiple missions, the report is a bit damning on the supply issue. However, the report is meant to highlight the issues so that the military can take over supply and maintenance in 2027. And a lot of the issues are lack of supply and depots for maintenance.
The $1.7 trillion is an estimated cost over the lifecycle of the entire F-35 fleet of 2500 planes. The F-22 first flew in 1990 and entered service in 2005. So 20-30 years would be a decent lifecycle. The math for the F-35, using 20 year lifecycle, comes out to about $65 billion/yr for 2500 planes or $26 million/yr per plane. Part of the report is also providing recommendations on lowering maintenance costs.
It’s still a lot of money, but when we’re talking decades, we need to put that into perspective when healthcare spending in the US is $4.5 trillion per year.
