But the USA is also geographically much larger, our islands are very full. At least we're not Japan though, which was already full and they just kept going to see what happened and whether the behavioural sink applies to humans

In more interesting news, Assange has confirmed himself as a Russian shill:

Quote
Assange, who briefly hosted his own talkshow on the state-owned television network Russia Today, has long had a close relationship with the Putin regime. In his interview with la Repubblica, he said there was no need for WikiLeaks to undertake a whistleblowing role in Russia because of the open and competitive debate he claimed exists there.

Ahahahahah. Haha. Ha.

'Open and competitive debate' riiiight....

I hope trashing Wikileaks reputation was worth it for him, though he likely doesn't care.

Which makes me wonder if Trump will grant Snowden pardon.

Pretty sure he still sees Snowden as a traitor, so, probably not. Theres also the fact that he is connected with Russian spies, which isn't a surprise in itself, but is incredibly problematic politically.

Connected is so vague. Is there something more than That Time That Anna Chapman Tweeted A Marriage Proposal?

Israel however isn't a direct result of WW2....

Jewish immigrants were already going to Israel even before WW1

The creation of the state of Israel in it's modern form is a result of WWII, though more the aftermath of it.

the state of Israel doesnt exist, nor does the Middle East. its a political fiction to justify budget cuts.

The US is the only country that exists. All other countries are either US territories or lies told to the people. For example, anyone who claims to be from Estonia or Australia is lying and is in on the conspiracy. And half the people on the internet are actually AIs.

And the other 2/1 are Grisha.

Anyways just for discussion I guess, I don't know if this goes in the East/SouthEast Asia thread or here, China plans on floating it's hand-me-down aircraft carrier off the coast of the US (or more likely near Hawaii or something). Also planning on setting up South American resupply bases.

I guess they might not want to be too provocative at first by floating off the West Coast right off the bat, but we'd just respond by shadowing them with one of our supercarrier groups.

On the South American bases, I have no idea whether that just entails getting permission to dock and resupply there or making actual bases. Either way, it'll be a point of contention for the US. Not sure if the Soviet USSR did something similar in South America.

There was a little thing down in Cuba, but nothing major.

Cuba doesn't exist either. Fidel Castro was George R.R. Martin's alter-ego. He just "died" because it was taking too much time off GoT to play the character

Cuba isn't South America though. I did a google search which mostly brought up the current Russias plans to get bases in South America, but as far as I can tell, they never did get one in South America.

The dawn of the new era of truth-based news reporting has begun: Google Fixes Algorithm to Remove Holocaust-Denying Results and Other 'Non-Authoritative Information'

Quote
The company has also corrected the results to “are Jews evil?”—when you search a variety of suggestively hateful questions, it mostly directs to news about the search results scandal. When you search “are Muslims evil?” there isn’t anything Islamophobic until the fourth result. Baby steps.

However, when you google “are black people inferior?” the first result is still racist.

We’ll continue to change our algorithms over time in order to tackle these challenges,” the Google spokesperson said.

I mean, if you're searching for that stuff, you probably have opinions already formed, frankly...
