Having a pro-Israel leader sounds like a strict upgrade for ME countries.

There is plenty of room for deception, stratagems, collateral damage and psychological warfare even in non-existential wars.
N.B. I don't believe either of the examples you listed are examples of existential wars. Russia overplays the existentiality as part of its official excuse to swing the nuke threat around (it would be bad optics to admit that it went to war for the sake of mere "sphere of influence"), America was on the other side of the ocean from the Axis (now USSR would be a much more salient example). Israel is closest to existential but it still has a buffer of overwhelming power over Gaza. If that buffer is threatened I would expect them to glass Gaza into the precambrian age faster than you can say "Zionism" because any political fallout is better than being overrun.

What did you think being mortal enemies was? Essays? Vibes?
According to you, someone who you declared should literally be wiped out as the only reconciliation is supposed to be decent to you?

Declaring someone a mortal irreconcilable enemy provides them with the best possible reason to stop being honest with you, or trying. There is no honor to be won being honest with moral aliens.

I would like to see Count Dracula assault Fort Knox. How deep into Dracula powerscaling are we going? Does he get the gypsy servants?

My read of the comment above yours was that she counted ICE as hostile soldiers.

I do not see how drilling officers to shoot at the driver of a car which is coming at them and is within feet of them is supposed to help them not get hit by the car.

If you have time to draw and shoot at the driver (which is supposed to stop the car fast enough to not hit you how, exactly?), why wouldn't you have time to get out of the way?

If you don't have laws, you also don't have a country. Yet there are degrees of severity and arbitrariness in creating/enforcing laws, and some of those degrees are, in fact, worth to be obstructed. Giving carte blanche to anti-immigration doesn't sound any more obviously a good thing to me than giving carte blanche to police. Certainly not when operating within borders.

If you're standing in the way of their car and they attempt to drive out of the parking spot as if you're not there, my intuition is you just walk out of the way. Not pull a gun and shoot. In fact moving out of the way appears to be vastly easier in terms of getting rid of the immediate danger.

Is there an ELI5 on regression to the mean? How do a 150 IQ person's genes know whether to regress to 120 or to 90?

What this argument looks like is something like "we shouldn't punish kids for doing dumb cruel kid shit because when we were kids, we were doing dumb cruel kid shit too".

I suspect his supporters are more anti-losing than anti-war.

I would assume there are many men who would gladly settle for "vagina, not a drug user, has a job" as long as she is merely average in all other aspects as opposed to negative.

Except the irredentist country is not in any kind of war with Europe.
The country all but says outright that its war is with Europe and Ukraine is just a proxy. Europe doesn't appear to disagree.
this is what happens when you have diversity hires in top EU positions.
If there were less diversity hires I would expect Europe to take the funds immediately and in general be less of a pussy.

Same thing as "it didn't happen and it didn't go far enough", I guess.

The social inequality is its own turn-off, I feel like. There are countries that haven't figured out civilization or outhouses, and there are countries that have figured out both (or at least the outhouses). But India's the only one with the reputation of being the country where the upper social classes simply DGAF about what the poor are doing in any way.
14-18 is when you're supposed to transition into an adult not just bodily (that happens on its own for most), but also socially and psychologically. Seems unwise to just assume "rebellion" will do all the work here. Many anecdotes of young adults either being infantile or throwing themselves in the deep end of adulthood after being stifled during formational years.
Regarding rebellion, the whole theory of teenage rebellion as commonly understood has struck me as wrong recently. Most teens aren't universally rebellious, they copy who they are around - and if they're around peers, they will copy the most charismatic and loud of those peers, hence the whole "peer pressure" thing. Parents call it rebellion but in fact it's just a transition of primary authority.

The current-gen AI that is infamous for not being accountable.
The use-case for AI at the moment are tasks that take a long time to do but can be checked quickly (such as coding tasks sufficiently covered by tests, or generating pictures of cute girls). When tasked with checking movies for bloopers, I suspect it would not do good enough to save much time.
When I consider it, I think that you wouldn't fight that often, and when you did, it wouldn't emphasize knockout blows; that while you would fall often you would naturally mind your head; that casualties of fights in wars were fewer than casualties on the march. In fact I suspect that there was no folk wisdom of head shots making men change over time because there was no career where you would intentionally put yourself in the way of many blows to the head and survive that for long enough.
(Anecdotally, Lermontov's The Song of the Merchant Kalashnikov specifically describes a formalized fistfight at the city fair. The titular merchant, his wife disgraced by the tsar's official, deliberately strikes him in the head and kills him. It can be assumed that head shots were forbidden or at least heavily discouraged - he is tried for manslaughter, as opposed to the outcome being judged an unfortunate but natural outcome of the fight).
Climate change called, they want their "constant doomsaying" back.
