Except the Washington Post isn't releasing possibly faked or hacked emails about Breonna Taylor being shot in her sleep three weeks before an election in a blatant attempt to manufacture an October Surprise. Don't try and create false equivalency here.

> But does the drone program amount to a war crime as Marc Thiessen suggests? That is a complicated question to answer. Unlike the use of torture, there are circumstances in international law and under the laws of war in which the use of lethal force can be lawful. Much depends on where, how and with what intent such force is used. We do not, as yet, have sufficient evidence to make a determination regarding the legality of the US drones program. It has been conducted in secret and in places where it is very difficult to mount an effective investigation.
Also there was a 1,200+ page Senate investigation into the use of torture by the previous administration.

It's not really that baffling - China makes vast sums of money trading with the US and nuking holiday sales would hurt them just as much as it would hurt the US, if not more so. And there's no undo button on such a move, if China crossed that line once then there's zero guarantee they won't do it again in the future. So while in the short term China might get what they want, but in the long term it would drastically decrease the appeal of manufacturing in China and international businesses would look elsewhere to invest.

The death penalty cannot be imposed on a subject if they are tried in a state that has outlawed the death penalty.

Excuse my ignorance but how are the PoS rich getting richer different than the PoW rich getting richer? Aren't the payouts proportional to the investment for both schemes? And can't Delegated PoS more or less eliminate 51% attacks for PoS?

The rate has actually fallen to 15 per 100,000 people, which is only 3 more than the 12 per 100,000 people in the United States. So not great but also probably not a big enough of a difference to be brought up in every single conversation about japan like it currently is. South Korea on the other hand... yikes.
