It depends a lot on how the pagers are distributed. Is it a batch that was carefully delivered to only Hezbollah members? Is that where all the pagers from that batch went?
It’s not like the pagers are stamped with “for Hezbollah only”. I’m concerned how they were all distributed.
I agree, but they probably could’ve worded it better. The pagers were meant for Hezbollah but that doesn’t mean they exclusively went to Hezbollah.
Do we know if those 2800+ injured are mostly militants, or mostly civilian?
… That’s a very good point actually. Vacuums are rather insulating. Without convection cooling from a fluid, you’re relying on radiative heat transfer for cooling, and that’s piss poor.
Easy loophole. Tell Eastern European countries they can do whatever the hell they want. I think several have a score to settle with Russia.
But seriously if Putin would prefer to not have deep strikes into Russia, then maybe we could meet him halfway – send a NATO coalition to Ukraine and steamroll Russia out. Including from Crimea.
And now you’ve graduated to someone who says the vast majority are idiots who can’t see the truth and don’t connect the dots.
Now you’re not only someone who’s incapable of thinking about anything other than America, you’re also a conspiracy nut.
True. It’s up to us elders though to remind them to think straight.
Why the fuck do you have to make this about the US? Are you incapable of commenting on atrocities in other countries without a US centric worldview?
It’s quite an irony, isn’t it? In trying to constantly bring up US problems, you’ve adopted a worldview where only the US matters.
Casus belli typically doesn’t work after the fact
There’s a second layer of heavy irony here when you look at what led to the Zionist movement in the first place.
Jewish persecution across Europe had always been a thing, but following the Russian revolution, there were pogroms of Jews, who were scapegoated by Tsar supporters as responsible for the revolution.
This was the straw that broke the camel’s back. It led a prominent Jewish thinker/author to conclude that Jews would never have safety or security unless they had their own country. Simultaneously, Jewish culture was undergoing changes and enlightenment at the time. All of this taken together is what gave rise to a powerful Zionist movement.
Fiddler of the Roof is the last thing anyone should protest, because preserving Jewish culture in Russia and hostilities from Russia towards it are what led to Israel in the first place!
I don’t disagree. I just think we shouldn’t dismiss the possibility just because the US says it’s the case. The US also said Putin was going to invade Ukraine and caught a lot of ridicule online for that, but it turned out to be a spot on prediction.
I never disagreed with that. I’m just offering my perspective as someone familiar with the cultural traditions.
Okay, and my point is regardless of if what you say is merited or not, Maduro can still have cheated.
Here’s a question. Have you actually spoken to anyone of Venezuelan heritage about the situation there? Because someone I worked closely with at my old job had told us about what was going on, and he loathed Maduro and said Guaido was the rightful president.
Machado can have uncomfortable ties to Republicans and Netanyahu, and Maduro can still be an unrightful president. This isn’t a binary. It’s rarely a binary, in fact. The USSR was pretty bad. The US is pretty bad. When the two had competing operations during the Cold War, was one bad and one good? Or were they both bad?
The opposite of bad isn’t always good. Sometimes it can also be bad – even a greater evil.
I’m all for the US shooting down offensive missiles. I do wish though we’d use it as a much stronger negotiation tool. Tell Netanyahu that if they’re the ones who start it, we won’t help at all.
This is a pretty big deal in Indian culture. Respecting and listening to elders is actually a cornerstone, I’d say. At social events with potlucks, the young kids are always the first to eat, then the elders, then everyone else. It’s so ingrained in me that when I saw a young Indian kid mocking their grandmother I was utterly shocked.
However, this isn’t to say the children in this article are necessarily wrong to abandon their parents. It’s just some perspective on how big of a deal this is.
Although at the same time, I’ve noticed that second generation Indians (born to the parents who immigrated, like me) are taught a more traditional and conservative culture. The first generation Indians I’ve met seem a lot less traditional – hence why they’re probably more okay with abandoning their elders. It’s interesting sometimes how immigrants preserve their home culture and traditions better than their own home does. Granted, this isn’t the case with everything. There’s a lot of things where Indian kids who grew up in the West are far more liberal on.
That said, there are other regional countries which are also calling for data and are skeptical of the legitimacy.
Mexico, Brazil, and Colombia are also asking for election data here, but you neglect to consider that.
What about Brazil, Mexico, and Colombia?
Invest in renewables?
I work for a green hydrogen production and supply company. Our financials are not amazing. If she cut a check for even a few $100k that would go a long way.
It’s time to stop bringing awareness to climate change, and to actually start addressing it. If you’re passionate enough to throw soup at a painting, you’re passionate enough to get job training to help operate renewable energy sites.
