Didn't it come out that India assasinated some dude on Canadian soil... Also i remember reading about China's police operating "secret police stations" out of Canada where citizens could report Chinese citizens for being disloyal to the government. Sure Canada might be off limits to an offensive war but its definitely not off limits with regards to covert warfare

It specifically names tik tok. I read the bill lol. Youre aware this sort of bill sets precidence right? This is the first instance of the US government banning a "foreign" app that is developed and has their entire infrustructure based in the US because of its ties to China. Even the EU isnt raising alarms and they tend to be significantly more stingy about consumer protections. So like, given that the US has its own competitors who are known to actively lobby the government, the EU hasnt raised any red flags about the app, and the fact that ALL of Tik Tok's US infrustructure is managed by a US company on US soil managed by the hands of US Citizens, there is no risk that justifies it being banned.

Technically, TikTok in the U.S. is owned by a U.S. entity and is different than what is used in China (it’s called Douyin). The problem is that it’s unclear what the data stewardship situation is and if U.S. user data is being used on Chinese soil or accessed by Chinese personnel. The U.S. company claims it is not, but the audit ability of the situation is the real problem.

Iran says a lot of shifty things. Most likely official public stance is no more direct attacks from Iran soil. But they will try to get them back for this via proxies, which is redundant anyways.

Bad news for INTC if the conflict continues to Israeli soil. Good news if nothing escalates and you get into this generational oppurtunity for cheaper

The few actual missiles that Iran launched along with the drones all fell on Israeli soil and all within the perimeter of military bases without hitting them, it seems strange that all the missiles missed the target when they have an accuracy of about 5 meters

Iran has no plan for immediate retaliation against Israel, a senior Iranian official told Reuters on Friday, hours after sources said Israel launched an attack on Iranian soil. "The foreign source of the incident has not been confirmed. We have not received any external attack, and the discussion leans more towards infiltration than attack," the Iranian official said on condition of anonymity.

Did a rocket hit US soil or something?

You guys think this is going to be a war between Israel and Iran, but that is not true. Israeli troops will never step on Jordanian soil to do the fighting. This is going to be mostly Western Nations doing the defenses and fighting.
