Probably because their government wants the people to feel anger towards Israel and the West in general. It makes it easier to mobilize them. They are preparing for a major conflict with the West and we are doing the same. We are all on the brink of a global war. Hopefully, it never comes to that. At a minimum, it’s looking like a Cold War with proxy wars and massive military buildup is ahead of us.

VSCodium, emacs, vim/neovim, helix.

Helix is pretty slick, but it’s not very extensible. Very easy to use and if the out of the box features are good enough for you then it’s a fine IDE.

Neovim is my preference unless I’m working with Jupyter notebooks, in which case I switch to vscodium. It’s a pain in the ass to set up. I took the easy way out with LazyVim. It’s fast to work with and I can use it for almost everything.

I dabbled with emacs many years ago. It’s like vim but completely different. You can make it do anything. Personally, I don’t care for the keyboard shortcuts. It’s probably easier to pick up than vim, but all the key chords and sequences are too much for me. In any case, anyone willing to look at vim should also take a look at emacs.

VSCodium is accessible and extensible. You can’t go wrong with this one. It can’t refactor like the Jetbrains stuff, but if there’s anything else it can’t do then I don’t know what it is. It’s a great IDE.

Really, any of these can do just about any job and do it very well. There’s no choice that clearly stands above the others. It really comes down to personal preference.

Where are all the maglev trains in non-capitalist countries? Sooner or later, in any system, someone has to do a cost benefit analysis and decide whether it’s worth it. It’s not just about profitability. There are plenty of situations in the US where something is unprofitable but still funded because the benefit is worth it.

Throw him in the hole and don’t let him out. That’s secure.

Any decent military is going have crash retrieval teams. It’s called CSAR - combat search and rescue. If a Russian or Chinese jet crashes somewhere neutral, we are going to race to get there. If it’s our own F-35, we will get there even faster and probably fight anyone who tries to get there first. I imagine you would do this for any interesting craft that crashes.

Bullshit. The Russians are waging war against a smaller country that was begging to avoid war. And do you remember the Russians were lying all along while they massed troops on the border? They called it a training exercise. The reason anybody is in this situation at all is Russia. The EU doesn’t owe Russia a damn thing.

Just weeks ago, the Russians destroyed a dam, killing thousands of people and causing an ecological catastrophe. For the past year, they have been teasing a disaster at Zaporizhzhia.

You are mistaken, friend. Russia is evil.
