She's paid her debt for a victimless crime she didn't even commit. She started Theranos with the best of intentions and it's a shame that things didnt work out the way she intended them. Besides, keeping her incarcerated is just preventing her from auditioning as the lead Vocalist of Type O Negative.

Suicide Watch posted:Germany was a major weapons dealer to the Republic of China at the time. Lots of photos of chinese soldiers with stahlhelms and other german equipment from the era My understanding is that nearly all of the support, and all of the official support of the KMT vanished with the formal alliance between Germany and Japan. It was seriously curtailed a few years earlier with the formation of the Anti-Comintern pact in 1936, which the KMT refused to participate in due to a) not wanting to piss off the Soviets and b) not willing to sit at a negotiating table with Japan while they were occupying Chinese territory. Even so, there were still some Germans with significant business and social ties to China, such as John Rabe.

Fivemarks posted:The Ukraine war, and the attitude of the Russian Public, has very much soured me on the concept of and hardened my hart against the idea of "No the average person are just victims of the government, they probably don't support the war." The Italians were definitely tired of Benito's poo poo well before Italy's capitulation. Hell, even his own party, the Fascists, were done with the project. Only the intervention of the Nazis and a few die hards keeps him in power as a puppet ruler.

Hyrax Attack! posted:That makes sense. On another note is there a possibility if he gets stupid enough to directly threaten the DC judge that he’ll be locked up for contempt pending trial? Would guess that’s possible for any defendant but he has a ridiculously long leash but there must be a limit. If there's a next step it'll probably be a social media ban. As you said, he has a ridiculously long leash, and it will take either repeated violations or overt violence to get to the punitive custody step.

Vincent Van Goatse posted:No, their larger point is absolutely right. It takes some doing to wrap your head around the fact that the atomic bombs might've in fact been the least bad way to force Japan to surrender because we've got 80 years' worth of nuclear terror coloring our understanding of the bombings. That was indeed the point I was making.

bulletsponge13 posted:I have my beliefs on the bomb, but I don't feel qualified to try and sort the morality of it in the moments, if that makes sense. The best I can do is say that it was a very bad thing that may have been in the service of a good thing, but then again, perhaps not.

I'm pretty sure that the US doesn't pay for ex presidents to have motorcades, so that's all coming out of his campaign/grift fund to show everyone what a big important man Trump is.
