It is a common thing here in Europe to think that the Germans are overly apologetic towards Israel. It's surprising to find out that East Germany was actually the primary supporter of Arab countries and Palestinian groups in their wars against Israel.

TL;DR: It is illegal for European citizens and companies to boycott Iran (and Cuba).
Important to post this because many European citizens and companies are unknowingly admitting to breaking the law when they post about boycotting Iran for supplying drones/missiles to Russia.
So Microsoft implicitly admits DOS sucks and creates a PowerShell prompt.
Then Microsoft doubles down and introduces a better prompt called WSL - the Windows Subsystem for Linux because the Windows command prompt still sucks... and this is just a Ubuntu VM in Windows.
And now they implement Sudo?
Microsoft hasn't learned the first lesson of holes - when you find yourself in one, stop digging.
This doesn't make any sense. PowerShell and WSL serve entirely different purposes. PowerShell is bash-but-better for Windows. WSL is a developer-oriented way of running Linux/Unix software on Windows.

Russia's approach has historically always been zerg rushing - they view both people and military tech as disposable, so it has to be extremely cheap, but it doesn't matter if the accuracy loses out.
The US, NATO in general, and especially Israel, are the other end of the spectrum: they prefer expensive, but powerful and very accurate weapons (and in the case of vehicles, prioritize survivability). For Western countries, wars are unpopular so they want to keep the fatality rate low, and Israel doesn't have that many people in the first place so their Merkava tank designs focus survivability even more.
The Merkava has seen some time losses but that was due to open back hatchets and IEDs big enough to flip the entire vehicle.
Both the Netherlands and Israel supplies critical components to the F-35 and Israel will most likely stop delivering its share until the Netherlands starts delivering their share.
The only reason so many European countries have been able to allocate F-16s for Ukraine is because F-35 series production was finally kicking off but this puts a stop to it.
