Jimmy Carter's good work

jeudi 2 janvier 2025 à 11:36

Remembering Jimmy Carter's work for peace and democracy after his term as president.

The reason he was not reelected seems to be that Republicans made a deal with Iran so that they would refuse to make a deal with the US government to free the US embassy hostages until after the 1980 election.

Carter was not a pacifist. He sent US troops to rescue the hostages. It was not his fault that some of the aircraft collided while on the way.

Undersea cables sabotage, CHI, RUS

jeudi 2 janvier 2025 à 11:36

An anchor-drag trace on the seabed shows that the electricity cable from Finland to Estonia was intentionally attacked.

If the only ship that was in a position to do it at that time and place was the Eagle S, it must have been that ship. Other ships must have been crossing the cable, but if they crossed it at other points they could not have been responsible for the sabotage.

It seem to me that countries must armor their undersea cables to make sabotage physically more difficult. The method needs to be cheap compared with the cable. Not being an expert, I can only speculate, Putting a meter or two of boulders over the cable might work, or maybe concrete blocks with holes to lift them by.

Republicans, dissidents and protesters

jeudi 2 janvier 2025 à 11:36

It won't take long for the voters who voted for he bullshitter to see that what Republicans are doing is harming them terribly. At that point, they will organize to thwart and defeat Republicans. Therefore we can expect the Republicans to act forcefully to suppress dissent and protest.

It occurs to me that the law-twisting repression of protests on behalf of Palestinians will turn out to have been great preparation for repressing protests on behalf of non-rich Americans, non-white Americans, and unwillingly pregnant Americans.
