Re: Israel orders mass 'evacuation' from Northern Gaza, humanitarian crisis certain to ensue

Another way to look at it is this; Iran just gave Israel a warning. Iran has the capacity to strike back at them. It showed that it could. (the drones reaches Israel, and despite warning, causes damage). However, Iran also showed they don't want to be (directly) involved in the current fighting. (Th...

Re: Israel orders mass 'evacuation' from Northern Gaza, humanitarian crisis certain to ensue

Why the fuck does Netanyahu's government think they can attack Iran and NOT have consequences? Oh, right - Israel has a right to defend its interests but no one else does. Motherfuckers. I think this is more 'Iran, don't attack based on rumor'. Until Israel actually attacks Iran, Iran has no direct...

That's also why people used to polymorph dangerous critters, and then throw them at people. I remember one NPC from 1e/2e, from the Forgotten Realms. She was the lover of the leader of the Flaming Fist Merc company in Baldur's Gate. She used to carry around at least one black pudding polymorphed/tur...

Re: US Election 2024: Grumpy Old Men

Trumps actions remind me of an increasingly desperate man.

Re: Israel orders mass 'evacuation' from Northern Gaza, humanitarian crisis certain to ensue

They found two scapegoats. "Hooray". What bullshit. It doesn't solve the problem(s) that led to this. Poland called the Israeli Ambassador in, so I guess they needed to finger someone quick to take the blame. Probably not going to help much, because I doubt they'll release the scapegoats ...

Re: Haiti collapse

Rather harsh, but hard to refute. What does Haiti produce besides cane sugar and rum? A completely unacceptable amount of telling white slavers to get fucked. Backed up with violence. Or are we just going to ignore the decades of post independence pariah state status they had to choke on? https://e...

I asked my brother his thoughts on the matter, as he'd been in Haiti in the late 80s. His comment was blunt -- LET IT BURN. "Haiti is nothing on the world scale, they produce nothing that isn't done more and better elsewhere. Let it burn and then afterwards go in and loot the body" Rather...

Re: Haiti collapse

The UN stepped in as a result of the 2004 Haitian coup d'état.

This is no different conceptually.

Probably not.

Well, shit.

You have a gang leader telling the Prime Minister to resign, and possibly be able to cause it to happen.

Haiti needs direct military intervention at this point.

Translation; Netanyahu annoying the Haredim like this risks blowing his majority and forcing an election he seems doomed to lose. That might be the idea.

It's very sad she felt the need to do this.
