Should have made sure you got that groundhog the first time.

Germany was actively trying to get some level of control over middle east oil during the war. Their failure to secure reliable and plentiful oil is a big reason they lost. The campaigns in north Africa were largely about control of Egypt and the Suez canal. Part of the invasion to Soviet lands was also opening a route to the middle east.
In the US, school boards and superintendents are a common source of political corruption. Many states allow for local control of districts, so these boards oversee the spending of tens or even hundreds of millions of local tax dollars and government grants.
In a world where the axis won, they would have taken a sizable portion of the middle east to secure oil for the war, so the region would look very different.
No you can’t really do it. The government isn’t going to allow you to divide a plot into that many tiny ones. What you could do is have a company buy the land and sell lifetime leases for small parts.
The war powers act makes it lawful for a president to take military action against any country, provided Congress is notified within 48 hours of that action. Then a president gets 60 days + 30 “withdrawal” to wage any war they want without congressional approval. Furthermore it’s been ruled violations are basically irrelevant if troops are gone before the matter gets to the supreme court.
Clinton and Obama both violated this law with 0 consequences. Trump might also violate the law, but we won’t know for 90 days.
If Congress wants the power to declare war back they need to repeal the war powers act.
Theft really depends on who the victim was or what was stolen. Most the time cops won’t do shit, unless there’s tons of easy evidence pointing to someone. For Identity theft, it’s probably even less common, unless it’s a relative or someone you know.
This is becoming a really good case study for austerity working. Argentina still isn’t great, but they were bordering on hyperinflation and are now stablizing.
It’s the same in female fields, it’s not just prestige. Men face increased scrutiny when working with children. Male nurses are expected to perform the more physical parts of the job almost exclusively.
This is a great solution but it has two big problems that make it functionally impossible.
Everyone should meet someone that worked in the mortgage industry pre 2008. The number of things that were not only allowed, but perfectly legal were absurd.
No, it’s like saying fire extinguishers are bad because someone replaced the real ones with gag ones in a building that burned down.
Israel is a US interest because they are an easier target than the US in a region that tends to prefer terrorist actions.
China is slowly transitioning from a developing country, but it’s a slow process as new agreements are signed and old ones expire.
NA and EU wouldn’t be a rounding error, China wouldn’t magically be more powerful than everyone else combined. The EU can already make the US and it’s companies make concessions, that wouldn’t change with China replacing the US.
As far as emissions China already hit the point they couldn’t ignore it. That’s why they are rolling out so much solar and nuclear, the Internet being flooded with pictures of absurdly bad smog already forced that issue.
Global power doesn’t tend to be a peaceful transition though. If China does make a play to become the dominant force by then, it’s bad news for everyone living right now.
There are benefits China has that will go away as they transition, which could also cause them to stumble. No longer being considered a developing nation, any poverty will be 100% on them to fix, international agreements will expect them to contribute instead of receiving, emissions will be more heavily scrutinized. Other countries will not be a tolerant about the rampant IP theft and extreme protectionism of their domestic markets.
Like most international groups of the doesn’t commit resources to it, their effective reach is greatly diminished. We saw this with Libya, without us fuel and munitions most jets would be grounded in about a week.
You could probably make a power supply that refuses to charge iPhones.
More companies targeting that level of hardware for games, more support for better V2 versions of these handhelds,
It’s pretty straightforward, they have to do something, but they really don’t want a war with the US despite any public comments. An attack that can be directly traced to Iran that even targeted the mainland would be a great way to ensure the US escalates.
