Category conflation: one is strictly about citizenship the other is a claim to a land. Israel is free to define its citizenship however it wants (including accepting converts to Judaism as citizens); however the religion is then used as a claim to a land (and even to lands beyond national...

So this whole discussion about mythology from 3000 years ago is a moot point. It's not about ethnicity or a people inheriting a land or being indigenous to it, it's about a religion which anyone can claim. I wonder why these discussions persist while there's such clear-cut refutation of it!

Can't you just literally convert and apply for Aliyah?

Japan and South Korea did the same thing for almost three decades to protect their automotive industry. The problem is not the tariffs, the problem is that none of the other necessary auxiliary steps are taken. Big countries who want to develop their industry can't take small countries with a...

You can't do this half-assed shit. Look how Japan and South Korea did it with their automotive sector: nascent industry protection. Unfortunate news is, that shit doesn't seem to work outside of far Eastern cultures when faced with higher levels of corruption and cronyism. Next best thing is to...

Yeah I just saw a video about Saudi Arabia's 2030 plan and the guy was talking about how the Saudis aren't on track for any of the goals, etc. and the comments were all Saudis just hurling insults at the guy, not one of them countering the arguments or the data. You can learn a lot about a...

Yeah I just saw the clickbait, watched the video later.

Comment on the video early, polite and substantive.

I understand your sentiment but I think we'd want to be better so I think we'd be better off if we don't try to turn this place into an echo chamber of our own. When the west is going into a conformist culture (as evidenced by their public square, aka social media, being a collection of bubbles...

That's true. I was just reading some source material and people are pleading with the representative of Ulema about trying to delay due to preparations and the counter-arguments are purely religious and they win over. But yeah all successor states inherit the geopolitical outlook of predecessor...

I'm very afraid of espionage and infiltration efforts with regards to Kaan and the engine project, esp. after seeing the nonchalant and incompetent way in which security was implemented in the facilities. In general, people dominated with magical thinking, due to being touched by modernity...

When one reads about the long history of various Russo-Turkish wars of esp. 18th and 19th centuries, one sees that many of the conflicts which ended up with humiliating defeats and loss of territory were instigated by the Ottomans themselves with Ulema egging on the court despite premonition by...

Very interesting. Listen for 1 minute from where the clip starts.

This from Wolfowitz Doctrine:

This dumbass pretending like he doesn't know that shit lmao.

Brzezinski's views are in the main stream of state department if you read independent views presented after they get out of the job; it has been that way since Kennan times: https://www.wilsoncenter.org/event/george-f-kennan-and-establishment-state-israel

True; on the other hand Israel had a lot of help from U.S. in countering them and I think of 180 missiles about 160 of them were not the newest models (Majority being older Qadr-110 missiles, which they even give to Houthis, with Emad 2 and Emad 3 next in numbers). The remaining, probably about...

Brzezinski on the situation back in 2002 rings familiar now. One must ask if Brzezinski thinks that situation is against U.S. national interest, and we have evidence many inside U.S. government share the same conviction, why they don't do something about it?
