The thing that's revealing here is where you get to if you make all your calls based on path dependency and partisanship. You surrender your intelligence, dignity and honour.

Vance is completely wrong here. US military sales to Ukraine served as a catalyst to rebuild our production capacity for our own potential military needs. I bet you'll never hear him say the same thing about US missiles fired to defend Israel, though that did deplete short-term stocks.

Did Indonesia know about Australia before Europe? That's a narrow bit of sea! It's debated. The earliest confirmed contact was by Makassar fishermen visiting Australia's north coast in the 1700s, after the Dutch found it in 1606 But Yolgnu rock paintings suggest these trips may date to the 1500s

It’s 2009, early days after President Obama’s election. Republicans are seeking to harness a grassroots movement against what the country perceives to be an “extremist agenda.” & they successfully brand it as the Tea Party Movement. What are Democrats doing right now against actual extremism?

So, wait. For basically ever, men were earning way more than their female counterparts, and the messaging was that women were "too emotional" or whatever. And the second women start earning more than men, men completely lose their shit and it's a "crisis" "gripping" them? What a bunch of losers.
