  • You forgot the part where they bribed some Venezuelan defense officials to stand down. Everyone saw this regime change coming, they just didn’t expect the US to get directly involved.

    That entire Chinook formation could have been shredded by a single infantry group equipped with some cheap stingers (or equivalents).

    Some of the local reporters even claimed that Maduro’s own security convinced him to leave by helicopter, where Delta was already waiting for him.

    They key note here is that Maduro was not well enough supported within his own circle. If you want a recent example, they could have done the same thing to Assad since he fled without even notifying the CO of his army.

    Countries like Russia and NK have a complicated internal political structure that revolves around the leader ensuring he can never be couped. The US wouldn’t be able to just buy them off to create such a situation.



  • Most of these answers here are not viable because the US has leverage in almost every nation on earth.

    Venezuela, Iran, Russia, China, etc are the exception, hence why they are sanctioned (and constantly suffering problems with every new CIA project) bar China which is locked in a trade war and has a sizable military to back themselves up.

    You would realistically require a counter world power that offers an alternative to the US system, which used to be the USSR which no longer exists.

    China is poised as the next superpower, but they haven’t made any significant moves in that regard because they are wary of the USSR’s downfall, and have no intention of engaging the USA in that manner (yet).

    Everyone in the UN, despite all their cries, will fall in line when threatened, aside from the aforementioned exceptions.











  • I don’t know why people are freaking out over this article. It’s pretty well known that lots of animals (especially within their own class) have eggs that can be fertilized by different species. It doesn’t matter like 99.99% of the time because the resulting cell is unviable and will not develop into anything because the merged DNA is incompatible and will fail to generate into a developed organism.

    The exception to this are hybrids (like a mule), rare cases where similar enough species can actually create a viable fetus, but the resultant hybrid is usually sterile and unable to reproduce its own offspring: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hybrid_(biology)

    How I sleep knowing Fedora + podman actually uses safe firewalld zones out of box instead of expecting the user to hack around with the clown show that is ufw.

    I could be wrong here but I feel like the answer is in the docs itself:

    If you are running Docker with the iptables or ip6tables options set to true, and firewalld is enabled on your system, in addition to its usual iptables or nftables rules, Docker creates a firewalld zone called docker, with target ACCEPT.

    All bridge network interfaces created by Docker (for example, docker0) are inserted into the docker zone.

    Docker also creates a forwarding policy called docker-forwarding that allows forwarding from ANY zone to the docker zone.

    Modify the zone to your security needs? Or does Docker reset the zone rules ever startup? If this is the same as podman, the docker zone should actually accept traffic from your public zone which has your physical NIC, which would mean you don’t have to do anything since public default is to DROP.

    Unless the library is tracking book reader stats or you actually check out the book, maybe remember how the classification system works like they were supposed to teach you in school?

    Half the time I’m literally standing in front of the shelf perusing the book, it would be dumb to throw it in the book return unless I don’t know or can’t find the exact position where it came from.
