But then you can't call the US a liberal democracy in any way as they aren't hands-off at all. Time and time again they meddle in other countries' business to exert influence and power and to advance their interests.

Israel itself was created by the West as Palestine was a British colony before and the US has since given more support to Israel than they would usually grant an ally. The continuous protection (political and militaristic) makes Israel almost a vassal state of the US. This is the real reason why "liberal democracies" have not reacted much (yet, hopefully).

They only logged the IP. That's metadata. IIRC Apple refused backdooring its phone encryption. That's a lot more invasive.

Dude, the other day I was reading some rag because there was nothing else to do in the train... One article was just Trump's agenda without any commentary. How is that news if you don't put it in perspective and with the context that Trump barely reached any of his goals in the first term. Unbelievable.

You tested it for microplastics? They're everywhere. Even on top of mountains

Well, not boiling, but we do heat it up

It's not a revolutionary take. It's "easy" to make fun of extremist right-wingers in Israel, Hamas as an extremist group and the do-nothing West just watching on. If you know Stewart's opinion on the conflict, then this segment isn't a surprise either.

Not a bad take. I agree he's funnier in the constrained time, but I also liked the The Problem where he had more time for thoughtful discussions, interviews and debates. A lot less funny though.

Free from the shackles of AppleTV. It's nice to see him back in the seat where I learned about him the first time many many years ago.

The thing is: It's 30%, but leave it to the US to call themselves a democracy and completely defy the understanding of other democratic countries.

Congressional approval is necessary for entering treaties, not for leaving them. Congress tries to change that. Hopefully in time
