Those 40 000 leaving the country, if they're that age, are probably grad-students and the like, or getting professional job opportunities elsewhere. There's nothing indicating any permanence of intention there, let alone any 'fleeing', for one. Israel doesn't need to "kill a billion Muslims"...

Zelensky not holding elections during wartime isn't in-and-of-itself unusual, that's normal wartime stuff for any besieged country. Even the banning of other political parties - while not great - I feel you can justify in the short-term, anyone even remotely less "fuck you!" toward Russia. But...

Nobody's trying to "kill all the Arabs" though, that's the point. You outnumber them, yes. They outquality you in everything military-related, they're fighting for their very existence, they have not only the west backing them but about half of the Arab world too. Oh, and again, nukes...

Thanks for bringing some sanity to the proceedings, 500. It's refreshing after dealing with most of the predictable types here. Rationality, whoo! No, see, it really, really won't. That's the thing. They're stronger than you, and frankly, even more committed. It won't. You're willing to...

A pretty telling picture/table, 500. Nice to see it all laid out neatly like that, for sure. It's not gonna be over any time soon, Hugh. Still lots of mopping up to do of the remnants in Gaza, still a lot of pissed-off young men with AKs in their various hidey-holes. Lebanon's probably going...

I don't know about "curse" him, but he'll wear thin with the public at a certain point for sure. Reality's going to come home to roost at a point, and if he's still thrusting a fist in the air declaring "we WILL take back the Donbass!" a year or whatever from now, and outright refusing to...

Not really. Everyone knows who they're voting for, there's no such thing as an undecided voter in the U.S., and hasn't been since long before Trump. He didn't break that, it was already the case. It just comes down to who's side is going to get enough of their people's asses up off the couch...

For this supposedly "not being a big deal" or whatever, all the forum's most noted frothing-at-the-mouth jihadis sure seem pretty worked-up & defensive over it. :ROFLMAO: Pretty telling. It matters plenty. They'll no doubt realplace him with someone else, that's not news to anyone. Thing...

The nuclear weapons thread from the Z-dawg, while not completely unexpected (I always thought he had some closeted dictatorial/messianic tendencies and could potentially become a problem down the line), is a nothing-burger. They're not going to have the means to do that after losing the war...

All of these guys & gals are egotistical as fuck, so I buy it. Also sounds like Tim Cook of Apple called Trump directly, asking him for help getting the EU to stand down with their financial shakedown of the company. That's pretty interesting. I think Kamala's going to win out in this by a...

Yeah. Been thinking this has been done for a while now, but the longer it goes on the more accurate that seems to be. It sort of feels like things might transition from the "surround myself with Yes Men and only take on board the good news" to something a little more pragmatic in the near...

Gotta love the copium, champ. Guys like Nasrallah & Sinwar come around once every few generations, you can't just throw any rando upstart into the top job and expect the same success. Al Qaeda's still around, they're also nothing because Bin Laden & al-Zawahiri *were* that group in terms of...

Yeah, seems unconfirmed as of now with the big major media outlets, but interesting. They seemed pretty sure right away with Nasrallah given they dropped a building on his head, but usually it's taken a couple of days for them to be sure with other top-level dirtbags, Hamas & Hezbollah alike...

Becoming more and more evident with each month unfortunately, Fire, yup. The fact he thinks this is ending without Ukraine ceding any territory to Russia at all, at this point is just...yeah, he's not a serious person. And unless he wants to elaborate on whatever this "non-nuclear deterrence"...

Zelensky just made (most of) his "victory plan" public, and it's predictably pretty laughable and showing he still doesn't get it.

My country isn't involved in any of this in any way whatsoever (beyond the occassional irrational scolding of Netanyahu). I do, however, wish the IDF the best in the inevitable stomping out of your buddies.

A) 2 million is nothing, B) the Haifa rocket was a fluke, C) the IDF will respond tenfold. Keep it up.

Regarding Turkey & western-Europe? Of course. Not elsewhere, Russia/China etc's going to be bolder, and Iran's going down. But Turkish/European/NATO relations? Why *would* they change? And hey, if they do, if Turkey goes rogue and does want to become a pariah, the west (and, frankly, most...

Which won't happen. And Afif, it's not "manageable" if they want to stay all buddy-buddy with the west, stay in NATO's good books. Turkey's not jeopardizing that to become some pariah like NK or Iran. They're doing well, they do a lot of trade, they're a part of this "international community"...

The *only* scenario in which Turkey & Israel are fighting one another is if Turkey starts pursuing nukes, dude. It's a non-issue.
