Yes. One of the early post Oct 7 observations was the rapid decrease in settler immigration to the point that their own government statistics showed I believe a net outflow for a short time. With the resurgence of violence the well connected and privileged will simply go back to whatever country they hold dual citizenship with. Resources and brain drain will follow and unless the US is willing to inject obscene amounts of money into them even with its own fiscal condition collapsing the clock is ticking for them. It was arguably in their own best interest not to start any shit that could possibly result in a population collapse but their own bloodthirsty nature just couldn't keep itself in check.

Arguably there is no winning for the west assuming Iran doesn't just roll over and die like Syria. For Europe supporting Isn'treal will result in internal strife and issues in regards to Ukraine and run contrary to their own beliefs of an imminent Russian invasion.
For the US it would mean potentially another lost decade fighting a war in the middle east while putting China on the back burner and diverting resources from the Asia and Ukraine Project which they can barely sustain as is. Failing to support the EU against Russia would also continue to strain relations after the tariff wars as well leading to further EU internal strife.
This is on top of domestic issues in the US itself caused by the current administrations numerous policies which will be exacerbated if americans start returning in body bags and trade continues to be disrupted especially if oil ends up spiking exacerbating inflationary issues. At best they can either abandon the Middle East more or less altogether or have a sort of tactical retreat ala ukraine and try to focus on China or they go all in on the ME and attempt to back off the trade war policies thereby abandoning any near term goals in East Asia.
Yup seeing images of settlers violence against the innocent always makes my stomach churn so this is certainly a nice change of pace from the usual doom and gloom.
Doomers complaining about no declaration of war from Khamenei two hours ago in shambles.
Just to add some more context and info that was left off from this English summary.
The new "Company Law" allows companies to use capital reserve funds to make up for losses in accordance with regulations, breaking the current "Company Law" that does not allow the use of capital reserve funds to make up for company losses.
The new "Company Law" further improves the provisions that shareholders, directors, supervisors and senior executives should bear liability for compensation when a company illegally distributes profits.
) The new Company Law adds a new liability clause for damages caused by directors and senior managers to third parties due to the performance of their duties, in order to strengthen the responsibilities of company directors and senior managers and improve the level of corporate governance.
This new 公司法 amendment was passed last December and seems to not only strengthen worker powers but also seems to increase liability for upper leadership. If you're interested in reading more from a Chinese language source this is the new law in full text: http://paper.people.com.cn/rmrb/html/2024-01/02/nw.D110000renmrb_20240102_1-14.htm. and here is a summary: https://www.zhonglun.com/research/articles/52526.html Translation software works well with both.
Honestly, coming to this site and seeing comments like this is one of the only few ways I can get external validation that it's not me that's going crazy. Keep on fighting the good fight comrade.
There are a couple of points to consider the biggest one being that Americans as a user base are but a fraction of the global base,less than 10% iirc, and one of the hardest to monetize. Outside of financial considerations it's worth more to keep tiktok just for the global soft power it exerts on the other parts of the world and to send a message as well.
Safety issues aside there's actually a bit of a social aspect to this. Due to the prevalence of both carpooling and slow traffic many young people and families use the entertainment system for the passengers. Karaoke is really popular iirc so in order to stay competitive all new cars have to come with these features.
Considering that many consider bombing children and hospitals to be the right thing to do I'm not sure I really care lmao.
Lol this post on the deprogram subreddit was truly filled with lib brainrot before it got removed.
Significant materiel support would also ironically reduce the state's own ability to control the rising discontent we're seeing across the nation right now. They have the capital to either suppress domestic unrest in the long term or support mini satan but I would argue that they cannot sustain both for any significant lengths of time.
