Uk-Israel attack???

There’s Saba Alizadeh (ambient) last month released Rituals of the Last Dawn on the Berlin Karlrecords label

Ata Ebtekar (ambient) - a bit like being present in an earlier Soviet sci-fi . He also publishes under the name Sote for more abstract techno

Didn’t they lose two of those big transport planes in the operation too? Not what they would normally send for picking up 1 airman

I can’t? People who are very convinced of their opinions will use the tools developed for use in forums like Reddit to further their agenda. Other platforms will use bots here to marginalise it. On a small platform like Lemmy you don’t need many.

Really? I think there are a lot of bots here, maybe more than Reddit.

Protecting Cuba from illicit narcotics??

The US the first with Labour Unions?

Follow the money: the current system makes more sense for private insurers, pharma, and large healthcare providers who all benefit from things staying as they are.

But it’s not just about corporations. The US also built its system around employer-based insurance back in World War II, and now healthcare is tied to your job. That creates risk: leaving your job can mean losing coverage, which naturally makes people more cautious and dependent on poor employment. This also makes people more cautious about starting up a business so the economy becomes controlled in the hands of a few - and so more oligarchic

There’s also a cultural angle. In the US, “freedom” is often seen as freedom from government involvement, even if that sometimes means less practical freedom (like being unable to change jobs easily), and the individual spending more on insurance than they would on taxes.

So it’s not one single reason - it’s money, history, and mindset all reinforcing each other.

Rigidity and social control also show up in other countries with strategies like high housing costs.

Indeed, the US only seized the management of Venezuelan oil last month - the country with the largest oil reserves in the world (Iran is third after Saudi Arabia)

U.S. planes moving from bases in Europe to their bases in the Middle East like Jordan, Qatar, carriers, or Israel, is U.S. national logistics - the fact that European countries denied assistance shows this is not NATO logistical support.

I expect everyone who can will have spy planes and satellites observing what’s going on - that does not mean they are participating. In terms of logistics, that’s not reported so you will have to support your position

That’s correct the Title is misleading, possibly deliberately, there is no NATO involvement - the UK even said the USA couldn’t use UK air bases for this. Turkey, Türkiye, the NATO country that borders Iran is against military action. Military action is just by Israel and the US.
