Re: UKRAINE WAR - 2024 thread
You clearly haven't met the US "Chaos Caucus" in Congress. There's a small but vocal group in the House who want to completely cut off Ukraine from any aid whatsoever and are one vote away from removing the current Speaker (again!) which would bring all work in that half of Congress to a s...

Re: Israel orders mass 'evacuation' from Northern Gaza, humanitarian crisis certain to ensue
It's getting to the point that Israel should STFU and go home.

Re: UKRAINE WAR - 2024 thread
America bitching to Ukraine would be hilarious if it wasn't life-or-death, what are they going to do, stop supplying Ukraine? Whether or not anyone likes it American elections are decided by things like oil prices. If they get to high it will favor Trump winning. Trump as PotUS will not be a good t...

Re: TIL: Today I Learned... (Join in!)
The YouTube channel Tasting History has done some recipes from The Forme of Cury and touched on the spice issue. Some of the "simpler" dishes - beans, cheese-based, etc. - would have had peasant equivalents, or perhaps one should regard the recipes in the books as more upper-class versions...

True, but I have zero information on the response of Iraq to all this. If you have anything please share.EnterpriseSovereign wrote: ↑2024-04-14 04:59pm There's another country smack in the middle in between them, between Jordan and Iran sits Iraq.

Re: Israel orders mass 'evacuation' from Northern Gaza, humanitarian crisis certain to ensue
So, Iran hit Israel with a drone and missile strike...and it was ineffectual. Israel's Iron Dome anti-missile defense is generally considered to be both the best in the world and best in history. Iran had to know that most, if not all, of their barrage was going to be shot down. There's a lot of wa...

Re: Israel orders mass 'evacuation' from Northern Gaza, humanitarian crisis certain to ensue
An internet acquaintance on another forum who lives in Israel is reporting air raid sirens going off in Israel now. The Iron Dome has been blowing some stuff up. So... the start of this is arriving in Israel. I guess all we can do is wait and see.

Re: Israel orders mass 'evacuation' from Northern Gaza, humanitarian crisis certain to ensue
Unfortunately I expect that you are correct given the power amassed by the death-cult Armageddon-lusting so-called "Christians" who love the notion of Israel at war.

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.

Re: UKRAINE WAR - 2024 thread
Don't many nations in Europe ban Nazi parties? Meaning Nazi-like folks have to come up with different names for more or less the same thing. The US is a bit of an outlier for allowing the existence of parties that openly call for the destruction of the current government, such as Neo-Nazi parties an...

Oh, it's worse than that - there was a rash of videos on the internet claiming that the properly protective glasses were actually harmful/part of the conspiracy to control people/etc. and encouraging people to look at the eclipse without protection.

So... you're saying at this point the people of Ukraine have a choice between the dictatorship of Vladimir Putin or the dictatorship of Zelenskyy? That is most unfortunate for them. Of course, there is the issue that Zelenskyy is at least somewhat motivate to NOT massacre Ukrainians by the boatload ...

Re: UKRAINE WAR - 2024 thread
Man. Is someone suggesting that the Ukrainian population collectively wants to surrender to Russia as opposed to keep fighting? Because I feel like that is being implied but not said. I hear that from people from time to time, implying somehow that most of them are being forced to keep fighting whe...

Re: Israel orders mass 'evacuation' from Northern Gaza, humanitarian crisis certain to ensue
They don't want the scapegoats to tell everyone who gave them the order. Actually, I suspect they don't want the scapegoats to tell everyone WHAT gave them the order. Until their version of SkyNet starts targeting them , that is, Israelis that the government actually gives a damn about (as opposed ...

Re: UKRAINE WAR - 2024 thread
“If there are enough arguments to mobilize 25-year-olds and this is really something we need to do – I will agree with it,” Zelensky told reporters in a December press conference, where he also ruled out mobilization of women. Why wouldn't they mobilize women? Somebody has to have the babies and ra...
