Probably the Jackson estate sold the film rights to the filmmakers and later realized that they legally would have been liable for that.

You say that like it’s news but that’s his whole thing. It’s the reason he’s popular.
Just say you made a French variation of it.

They’re also extremely trained for this mission which is why they were able to resolve it. They aren’t just along for the ride.

This is a good thing. I don’t like how cozy SA and US have been for a long time. Trump is so stupid he accidentally did something good.

It also means you can have different steering ratios for different situations. You can have a fast ratio while parking and a slow one on the highway. If you have automated driving, the wheel doesn’t need to turn when the car turns. Although I think all cars with any kind of autonomous driving still turn the wheel.

Haha where’s this image from? Hahaha like where could I find others?
TBH, I’m not against this. For Europe, NATO is a defense alliance mostly concerned with Russian aggression. For the US, NATO is a tool of imperialism. Trump said in this article that the reason he’s considering leaving is that NATO countries didn’t assist in the Iran war. The implication is that NATO is for supporting US interests or the US doesn’t honor their obligations.
I think that a European alliance shouldn’t be led by a non-european power. I think that the US should reduce its defense commitments abroad and lean on the fact that the US is one of the most easily defended countries on earth. The problem is that Trump doesn’t want to pull out of NATO to lower US defense spending. He just wants to re-write the world order to put himself on top.
One big problem here is that there isn’t a current mechanism for a country to leave NATO. It would weaken the credibility of the alliance if a country could back out whenever they felt like it. There are 2 ways this could be solved:
- Amend the treaty so that the other countries could kick out an existing member rather than allow the US to withdraw.
- Create a new NATO with everything the same except the US is no longer part of it.
I think either of these would open up a lot of chaos because countries would want to seize the opportunity to remove other problematic members like Hungary or Turkey. It could undermine the unity and credibility of the alliance.
