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

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

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

Re: Ukraine reacts to fears of Russian invasion as troops build up at the border
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.

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.

Re: Ukraine reacts to fears of Russian invasion as troops build up at the border
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...

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.

Re: Ukraine reacts to fears of Russian invasion as troops build up at the border
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...

Elfdart, you are likely right in your assessment.

Re: Ruth Ginsburg dies
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...

Sauli Niinistö Elected for Second Term as President of Finland
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...

Re: Did Microsoft break Youtube again?
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.
