Well, at least they're consistent. In terms of not respecting legitimate, legal votes.

This sprint race might be the best of any race this season so far. So much going on.

OK, that was a sick pass of Perez by Hamilton. Goddamn.

Perez better pick it up.

Was that Alonso's fault? That seemed like Ocon's fault since there was snap of oversteer just before.

Charles post-race interview: "I'm sorry, I'm sorry, that wasn't my fault with Checo! I'm sorry, I'm sorry, I'm sorry, Don't hurt me!!"

Is Stroll trying to get his dad to fire him?

Came across this one today. Sprinkling sugar on a prolapsed anus can make it go back in.

Not quite. The US isn't Israel. Israelis aren't Americans. I don't think I need remind you that the situation in 2001 was that the US was attacked. The US have not been attacked this time. This is another country.

As much as Americans and/or American officials are willing to go to bat for Israel on the international stage, Americans largely are not prepared to potentially put boots on the ground for not-America, even if it's an ally like Israel. Especially an ally as "divisive" as Israel and one who's in the ME. As such, American public support for Israeli retaliation is going to be somewhat muted to prevent the possibility of US troops getting dragged in.

Now if the US was attacked directly by Hamas, we wouldn't be having this conversation right now because Gaza would be...I don't even want to think about that. I'll just leave it there.

Eh, different time, different context, different people. The Gulf War went well enough. Highway of Death and all that. So why wouldn't Afghanistan and even Iraq 2 electric boogaloo ten years later not go well, either? Nevermind that we'd need to nation-build in both those countries, something that wasn't done or needed in Iraq in the early 90s.

But after 20+ yrs of Iraq+Afghanistan adventures, Americans today are hesitant to get involved in anything outside of the US, especially in the ME. That's why questions arise around support for Ukraine and Taiwan, particularly the latter.

Max gonna have to do just a little bit of work this weekend starting at P6.

I know. And we have this for 9 more years. Yay.

Still doesn't beat Bottas' "pit stop" in 2021. Took like 5 days for them to get the wheel off. Had to bring the car back to the factory to take off the wheel nut!
