Goety··on An Afghan woman in Kabul: ‘Now I have to burn everything I achieved’
In a few words this is (very likely) permanent.

America hasn't so much lost a war but failed to maintain a coherent political vision.

This has enormous world shaking geopolitical implications that will continue to create a disadvantage to US interests.

I think you're a little off the mark on that one. There is widespread support against demonstrable human rights abusers, particularly with marginalization of women.

The current Taliban have a very good PR person, presenting themselves as moderate. Their actions since the February 2020 agreements have been seen, and opinions have been formed.

If I were a betting man I'd say that they would pay telecom censors top dollar to prevent a further ruffling of feathers of the US public.

I would assume they do
Goety··on An Afghan woman in Kabul: ‘Now I have to burn everything I achieved’
Afghanistan intervention has been popular in America. What hasn't been popular is the plan and execution of the intervention. This will continue to be the case.

To add to this administrative insult, US relationship with the collapsing Afghanistan government was ended in the most humiliating way. The collapse was not inevitable.

The US public should not stand for this.

The current mood of the US is that the public does not know what the current administration is doing domestically and abroad. Outside of a few identified 'throw money at a problem' bills the administration is not popular outside of 'at least it is not Trump'.

Vision is lacking and the US cannot legislate out of core structural problems and from this there was improper use of authority by multiple government branches. I do not think congress should have neutered presidential war authority. The US needs better stewardship by every branch and to go back to operating government like intended.

Goety··on How the Taliban Overran the Afghan Army, Built by the U.S. over 20 Years
All armies run on logistics. Not building a replacement is irresponsible.

Goety··on Water transformed into shiny, golden metal
There are quite a few interesting applications should this ability be harnessed in water.
Goety··on Water transformed into shiny, golden metal
>So in non-metals, does the band gap between the valence and conduction bands get crossed by electrons excited by incoming photons?

It is an active area of research and they started exploring 'metallic ammonia' last year. recent paper looking at metallic ammonia using synchrotron x-ray PES in a refrigerated liquid microjet setup: https://science.sciencemag.org/content/368/6495/1086

They are currently known as 'metastable' nanostructures exhibiting plasmonic effects similar to noble nanoparticles.

Goety··on CIA director says he is escalating efforts to solve 'Havana Syndrome'
>If someone was blasting buildings with RF they'd know it.

I believe in Havana they told us that it was their own equipment as that would make the most sense.

But you're right there are a lot of unknowns and wild reporting on it.

I doubt they are doing it to dumb down the agency. Any time you trigger a disruption or emergency protocol the entire operation is more vulnerable.

It is also possible that the investigation team is suspect as well. Both Cuba and Austria are Russian area of influence strongholds.
