Re: TIL: Today I Learned... (Join in!)
What a fucking useless vehicle. Of course, Elon probably has "people" who can take care of his, and a spare to drive around while the other dries. Seriously, WTF? Is this fragile eye of a "truck" only supposed to driven in pristine weather on pre-cleaned roadways? Does he even d...

Re: UKRAINE WAR - 2024 thread
Are you really going to argue that all nations have inviolable rights within their own borders? Do you really want to go there? Go think that one all the way through and punch yourself in the face for being a dumbass if your answer is yes. No, I'm saying that Russia has no rights within other count...

Re: Israel orders mass 'evacuation' from Northern Gaza, humanitarian crisis certain to ensue
How? By having weapons and stating facts? They weren't stating facts, they were selling the idea to their people that somehow their failed attack beat Israel. As well as showing Israel that they could do it again. Multiple times. Does Israel have enough munitions to defend against repeat attempts ?...

Re: UKRAINE WAR - 2024 thread
So to be clear, you are saying that Putin DOES have some sort of special authority over ethnic Russians in other countries, at least as long as they're near a border with Russia? I'm saying the Ukrainians shouldn't have been stupid enough to give Putin a reason to correct Lenin's mistakes. Hmm, wei...

Re: Israel orders mass 'evacuation' from Northern Gaza, humanitarian crisis certain to ensue
But Downing Street later rejected Iran's assertion it gave advance warning of its drone and missile attack on Israel, as the prime minister's official spokesman revealed they were not briefed directly by Iran on their attacks. I'm honestly not sure where they mean the Prime Minister of Israel or th...

Re: UKRAINE WAR - 2024 thread
I have to figure that the Russian government and military is doing what they collectively believe is the most effective way to either conquer or subjugate Ukraine. If they weren't retaliating 'more aggressively' than they were after these strikes they presumably either couldn't or had decided that d...

Re: Israel orders mass 'evacuation' from Northern Gaza, humanitarian crisis certain to ensue
Also I remind you that attacking Iranian allies and proxies would mean launching a strike on a third country and likely killing their citizens.

Re: Israel orders mass 'evacuation' from Northern Gaza, humanitarian crisis certain to ensue
Can't imagine this will be good for the Jordanian government, which was already dealing with serious protests over all this. Of course, Israel has a third option of launching attacks on Iran's allies/proxies in the area, there's certainly enough of them to choose from. Happily it turns out the curre...

Re: Israel orders mass 'evacuation' from Northern Gaza, humanitarian crisis certain to ensue
It was also a highly telegraphed attack (I don't know enough to say how they could have made it less so, admittedly) that gave ample time for non combatants to take cover. And this was after Iran went to the UN and petitioned the Security Council to censure Israel for their crimes and were blocked b...

Re: Israel orders mass 'evacuation' from Northern Gaza, humanitarian crisis certain to ensue
Not sure how true this is, but I read elsewhere that the attack used up like a billion dollars worth of interceptor rockets that can't be easily replaced even with Uncle Joe bankrolling them. I'm not quite sure what Iran hoped to get out of this either. To retaliate when attacked is one thing, but t...

With what army? The US Army, hopefully. We certainly spend enough on it. Nothings changed about the potential for nuclear escape so that's not likely to happen.

Sounds like NATO and/or the US should step up and get directly involved in the fighting to prevent that.
