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...

Re: UKRAINE WAR - 2024 thread
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. It's weird how everyone is very concerned about provoking Russia into nuking someone by resisting them too hard but no one in the Russian ...

Re: UKRAINE WAR - 2024 thread
Sounds like NATO and/or the US should step up and get directly involved in the fighting to prevent that.

Re: Israel orders mass 'evacuation' from Northern Gaza, humanitarian crisis certain to ensue
I can't prove it but I feel like the Armageddon death cult Rapture-ready Christians are probably an exaggerated influence compared to the less extreme but still heavily right-wing Christians who support Israel because they see Jews as being their co-religionists at least as much as Catholics or Morm...

Re: UKRAINE WAR - 2024 thread
Not all dictatorships are created equal.

Given the circumstan...

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.

ISIS is still claiming responsibility for the attack. It's the "why" that confuses me. Because they (read: someone somehow associated with ISIS) found someone pissed off or bitter or whatever enough to do it and that happened to be right now. ISIS has no reason not to take credit for a go...

Why wouldn't they mobilize women?“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.

Re: Israel orders mass 'evacuation' from Northern Gaza, humanitarian crisis certain to ensue
Netanyahu isn't looking to give Biden much of a choice in the matter. He's simply not behaving as an ally; even if Israel is, Bibi is not. That's pretty much always been true about Israel. America supports the place due to a variety of political and cultural factors. Not because it's good for the U...

What Ralin said. Also, the number one thing that they are afraid of "being told what to do that goes against their religion" is probably "speak politely to women, and don't spit on them." I'm given to understand they also like to attack immodestly dressed women (which means basi...
