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

Netanyahu is losing the support of American Jews. When I spend time with my local Jewish community the manner in which Netanyahu is described is scathing. If Netanyahu loses the support of American Jews he will lose American support. Note Chuck Schumer's speech calling for Netanyahu to be replaced -...

Re: King Charles diagnosed with cancer and will take step back from official duties

That, and very often women are defined by their reproductive organs in our society. Often, women are over-medicalized in general.

Incidences of things like colon cancer are increasing in people under 50, though, so it could easily be something of that sort.

Re: King Charles diagnosed with cancer and will take step back from official duties

Sounds like possible Endometriosis gone cancerous. I see a lot of speculation on line that Kate has a gynecological cancer. In reality we just don't know. Here is where I point out that the abdomen is chock-full of various organs and any of them could have started rebelling against the common good.

Re: Baltimore MD Bridge Struck By Ship and Collapses!

Latest: it is confirmed that the ship lost power. The crew got off a mayday, alerting to the possibility of an impact with the bridge which, apparently, allowed the authorities to stop at least some traffic from getting onto the bridge which probably saved some lives. The ship WAS in the correct cha...

Re: UKRAINE WAR - 2024 thread

Well, yes - if a Russian invasion is perceived to be a large and immediate existential threat then it makes a lot of sense that people who might otherwise be at each other's throats could team up to tackle that threat. Doesn't mean they like each other. Doesn't mean they won't go back to fighting ea...

Because your entire argument is fundamentally flawed and based on the notion that Putin might offer something that he hasn't offered before, despite making absolutely no indications of doing so and if anything is doubling down. To assume he's going to suddenly change is, frankly, absurd . If we're ...

There's also the perpetual issue that NATO nations, the US excepted, constantly fail to meet their commitments and don't invest in their defense industries. As of the Ukraine-Russia war this is no longer true. It's taking a little bit of time to ramp up in some cases, but absolutely Poland and the ...
