Re: Haiti collapse

The DR won't have any choice in the matter of getting involved if the violence spills over on to their side of the island, though I don't know how well-defended the border is. They do have a military though.

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

Their solution, which is being carried out in the most ham-fisted way imaginable, is to reduce the population of Gaza to zero. What exactly does 'ham-fisted' mean here? To me that implies that they're being sloppy or inefficient about doing it and that doesn't really seem to be problem. How they th...

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

In the last 6 months Israel has rapidly burned through the good will they had gained in the wake of October 7th. There is a cruel logic in their tactics- Gaza has been a thorn in their side for decades so they want to remove that thorn permanently. Their solution, which is being carried out in the m...

Re: UKRAINE WAR - 2024 thread

What is a strawman is claiming that pointing out the existence of the Gulags is (somehow) holocaust denialism. Apparently. That's not what you did, and everyone can see that's not what you did, which is why you've been called out. You attempted to draw an equivalence between the gulags and Nazi ext...

Not a straw man. You engaged in soft core Holocaust denialism, as per the very Wikipedia page you cited.
