A bit off topic, but there is going to be a lot of AI anachronism that legacy universe sci-fi writers are going to have to deal with. How come in 2024 we have LLMs, but (insert previously tech coherent universe here) in (future date) is doesn’t have/ is just now discovering AI?
But it will take some time, we just spent a couple months of build up on the attack this is retaliating to.
3 9/11s down, 12 more to go.
America retaliated to 9/11 by killing 200,000 Iraqis So Iraq had population 0.5% of its population killed (for something it had no responsibility for). So Israel needs to kill 0.5% of Gaza… which is around 4000 people. I guess 15 9/11 mean 15*4000=60,000
Deci-mating is 1 out of every 10 people, so a bit more before Gaza is decimated.
Ah, this choice again.
Do you support dictators or Islamic insurgents? At least this time the insurgents have an army and don’t primarily rely on terrorism, whereas the dictator is accused of genocide.
Get a peace-keeping force made up of Iranians. If missiles are still being shot from Gaza after that, Israel can go to war with Iran and cut out the middle-man.
Biden called it “Ten 9/11s” because of percent of population. I would have called it “0.47 9/11s”, as each human life is equally valid. But as impact on the whole, Oct 7th was a larger percent of the population of the country than 9/11, so it is having a much larger impact with only half as many dead.
I also hope that the numbers that die in retaliation are as low as possible, and percent population numbers gave a smaller needed “revenge” killing. Wish it was zero, but we are, underneath it all, rage-full apes with explosives.
America has a population that is 35 larger than Israel. If America had lost the same percentage of their population as Israel did on Oct 7th, it would be ~49,420 dead, or the equivalence of 16 "9/11"s. That is why Biden said 10 times worse than 9/11.
Iraq currently has a population of 43.5 million. 187k is 0.42% of it’s population. If we do it by percent of population, Gaza has 2 million people, so the retaliation would kill “only” 8,600.
My estimation predicted 88k, with a 63:1 ratio.
1.67 "9/11"s worth of death, in retaliation for 0.47 "9/11"s worth of dead on Oct 7th.
Or, with 9/11= 2977 and the Iraq war killing 187,000 civilians, we get a ~63:1 misplaced retaliation vs. initial attack ratio. So the one could extrapolate from the 1400 dead on Oct 7th that 88,200 innocent people in Gaza will need to be killed to quench the IDF’s rage.
So, enough for a war with China.
Sadly, if Republicans had their way, wearing masks at all would be a political statement.
Ukraine: We hit a billion dollar mobel electronic warfare trailer with our rocket!
Russia: We hit a fish market!
That is like declaring the Pinkertons a terrorist organization. They don’t exist anymore.
Wait, what? Pinkertons are still around? And they are attacking magic card reviewers? WTF?
Wasn’t it that there buy a book, loan 1 book digitally was perfectly fine, but then during covid, they bought 1 book and then loaned 100s because it was an emergency?
What is up with all these moon missions lately? First Russia, then India, now Japan.
With the Texas class disaster, they create a “Arizona Class” ship which is partially automated. The lower decks group becomes the bridge crew - and the only crew on the ship. They think they are in charge, but the computer and a shadowy group of scientists are actually pulling all the strings. Can they prove that they are the real ones in charge?
