News

I just looked at the BBC World News website. It's really depressing. Headlines include:

- "Manhunt after Istanbul club attack"
- "M*A*S*H star William Christopher dies"
- "Terrorists freed in Bahrain prison raid"
- "North Korea close to long-range missile test"
- "Man kills 12 at Brazil new year party"
- "Bambi artist Tyrus Wong dies aged 106"
- "US politician 'beats wife' on 911 recording"

I... Just... 🤦

The North Korea thing isn't necessarily bad unless you assume they use it for evil. Those tests might actually yield some innovation in technology.

@Jackaloftheazuresand: Frankly the people of North Korea would be better off without the defences, because then if NK was attacked, there would be less for the attacker to go through and therefore fewer civilian casualties. Also, North Korea itself causes the deaths of more of it's own citizens than an enemy attack ever would. And those that aren't dying are living in terrible conditions.

@RoboChloe: Not if the missiles deter the attack in the first place.

Seriously though, since you are being a good sport, I'm being intentionally difficult.
