The IDF statement on the WCK attack: https://www.idf.il/190614 It's obvious that that's just sacrificing a few scapegoats on the altar of public relations. According to that, the IDF had determined that there had been two gunmen in the aid trucks the convoy had been unloading and they had assumed th...

At least Netanyahu is admitting there was a major fuckup. It looks like most of the Aid Workers were from other countries, countries that until now were friendly or tolerant. I have to wonder how this will change those countries' stance towards Netanyahu's government. Whomever gave the order to fir...

Let's hope Biden grows a spine and cuts Netanyahoo off. Israel is also escalating the war on other fronts, their latest hit (literally) being an air strike on the Iranian embassy compound in Damascus, which is basically a casus belli provocation against both Iran and Syria at the same time. Netanyah...

If you go and look for imagery from Gaza hospitals and the refugee camps, there is plenty that is in substa...

You dodubled down on the Russian propaganda when it was pointed out, so the only response you are entitled to is a hearty fuck you, you shitlicking goat-molester. I've cut off family for being Russian shills and the only reason my uncle doesn't have a severely broken nose and missing teeth is I'd lo...

Elfdart, since you've decided to turn into a full Russian shill who is parroting the Kremlin propaganda line to the hilt, I have five, sincerely heartfelt words for you: Go die in a fire.

That's all the response you're going to get.

The Azov regiment is not what it was 8 years ago. It started out as a unit mainly composed of neonazis, but after the fighting in Donbass, was folded into the Ukranian military and now has a much more varied membership. Besides, when the aggressor of an unjustified war has publicly put out a documen...

A Blueprint for Genocide: There are several translations of this document published by the RIA Novosti which is absolutely chilling. It's also pretty long. A lot of places only show excerpts but I found an English translation of the entire document here. Yeah I saw that too. Russian State media is ...

That doesn't even get to the colonels, majors and lower level officers who lead, because the Russian military does not have a western style NCO system. They have well and truly screwed the pooch. Even the lower end estimates for their losses and the consequent ratio of non-dead casualties is eye-wa...

According to some reports, the Belarussian military is on the edge of mutiny, so they are likely even less motivated than the Russians. As far as existential threats, if Putin uses nukes, Russia will cease to exist as a major global power. Retaliatory nuclear response will take care of that, and onc...

Do you really expect he would honor anything he said? If you do, I have some prime tropical oceanfront real estate in Afghanistan to sell you. He won't, and he should therefore be dealt with accordingly. It does not matter if the Reich Wing Nazis whine about it. They are frothing at the mouth for la...

Elfdart, you are likely right in your assessment. The Democrats need to grow a spine and play just as dirty as the Republicans and the refusal to seat gerrymandered Republican controlled states is something that they absolutely should do if Republicans show any signs of doing what the recent Atlanti...

If the Democrats get the Senate and the presidency both, what they should do is go full nuclear and eliminate the filibuster in Senate, increase the size of SCOTUS to 13 justices and grant statehood to both Washington DC and Puerto Rico. There is absolutely zero incentive to give a shit about what R...

DON'T DO ANYTHING RASH OR PERMANENT!

Look, send me a PM, or hit me up on FB (you can find me by my real name, Esko Halttunen), easier to chat there.

So, we had a presidential election today (early voting was from 17th to 21st). At 63.8% of votes counted, Sauli Niinistö holds the lead at 72.2%, with the second place challenger at 12.2% or thereabouts. It's all done and over with, the rest of the vote count is a formality, since the big cities alw...

Firefox profile corruption can also result in Youtube not working. In which case the solution is to refresh the profile (i.e. reset it). I had that happen to me. Just as well, since I switched to FF57+ at that point so the refresh cleared a massive amount of legacy crud away.

Rest in peace

I must wonder how much of this is actual genuine insistance of "if we didn't win it was a fraud!" and how much of it is political rethoric of "we really didn't loose". As I said before it's one thing to have people say things, especially in the internet and it's totally another ...

Thanks, Ace. One can always count on you to tell things as they are over there and you have both local perspective and impartiality.

Israel with its current government is a fascist theocracy, masquerading as a supposedly enlightened democracy, that lies about every aspect of its occupation of Palestinian land and allows settlers and soldiers to murder at will as long as ity is not caught on live camera, so why is anyone surprised...

So what was that about the end of net neutrality not being a big deal? Comcast, Cox, Frontier All Raising Internet Access Rates for 2018 Sure, you can argue that they would have raised prices anyway, but given what we already know about internet service provider quality in the US, would anyone belie...

If you want to keep to your opinion that unfettered screwing over of customers is all well and good, that's your prerogative. Meanwhile the majority of us who work in this field professionally oppose destroying net neutrality because we know how all of this works and how anticompetitive it is. I hop...

Were any of these doomsday scenarios unfolding just a few short years ago before the removed regulations were in place? There were all sorts of bullshit such as AT&T charging a 20 dollar tethering fee if you tried to share the internet connection from your mobile phone and other absurd restrict...
