Leaving one cause he believes in to fight for another he believes in. You have to respect at man (regardless of where he's from) for fighting for what he believes in!
There have to be losers in the world for their to be winners. Now we're winning, but one day we'll be losing. That's simply the cycle of things.
Our (the West's) methods of rising to power were different from the ancient civilizations. We re-shaped the way the world worked, in our favour. The...
I have no interest in enslaving Palestinians. My interest is in cutting off my tax dollars that end up in the hands of a Hamas' military wing, which exists against my interests.
Do you want to send me some money to fund Jewish schools in Canada? I didn't think so. I don't want to send my tax...
Good for Turkey! As long as the goods are fully inspected and and proven to be exactly what Turkey says they are, I absolutely believe those supplies should be allowed into Gaza. Here is the key, in no way, shape or form should they allowed be handed over to Hamas. They should go directly to...
Truthfully, it's the fault of the West. We send them hundreds of millions of dollars worth of aid on an annual basis and we send it in a form that allows Hamas to steal it from the people it's intended for and to buy / create / repurpose it for weapons.
We should be buying the Palestinians...
Europe definitely has a long history of war. Hell, there is a major one happening right now, as we type. There is no denying that. I'm also not denying that the Middle East was relatively peaceful during the Ottoman reign. During other periods, not so much. Time marches on, however, and things...
Alliances change over time. Britain and France warred for centuries with one another. They became united out of necessity. Germany was our enemy 70 years ago, but we convinced them to join our side and are now a key ally against the Russians. Hell, Canada (as a British colony) and the USA fought...
Then make them answer for it... That's the way of humanity. Go to war with them and get your retribution. Otherwise, attempt to sanction them into irrelevancy. Good luck.
The Ottoman Empire chose the wrong side in WWI and got the crap kicked out of them by a stronger alliance. Take your "L"...
The Soviet's lost the Cold War. Their great state dissolved in the wake of their loss and many of the countries that formed independently as a result, are now our allies on their border, living a much better, happier, more prosperous existence than they did under Soviet control.
Russia is now a...
Obvious reasons, are obvious. "WE" won WWII and had the power at the time to create Israel for the Jews. We maintained the economic and military power in the post-war era to back their state an help them get a regional footing. Multiple times since their creation, regional powers in the Middle...
International law has proven to be completely irrelevant when it comes to modern conflict. There are probably 50-100 countries around globe that are currently in significant breach of international law in some form or fashion. Whether it's territorial annexation, invasion, human rights, currency...
I've wondered this as well. Will Muslims from the regions surrounding Palestine join in? It's hard to get into Gaza specifically, but they could open another front. Furthermore, there are some 5 million Jews in USA, and bunch more in Europe and throughout South America. We know that they'll...
Everybody in that region murders and kills each other historically. It's been one of the most unstable regions of the world in modern history. Tons of tribalism, and religious / ethnic fighting. Countries ruled by kings and dictators because a heavy hand is needed to stop the country from...
Iran was never going to be "directly" involved. The USA chose those words carefully. What they were and continue to be, is one of the key financial backers of Hamas' military wing, behind the scenes. The majority of Hamas' weapons are funneled to Hamas by Iran. The remainder of them are...
Lots of people want to excuse their actions. Make no mistake about it, us Westerners, the ones who actually won the war, place blame firmly on Germany and their associates. I have 2 university degrees, in European history and political science, as well as a Masters degree in international...
How often are modern wars fought between sides with the same technology and military capability?
Genuine question. Why would Hamas attack Israel, knowing that the response from the Israelis would be swift and severe, unless they simply see the people of Palestine (who they are supposed to...
Big news (genuinely) coming out of USA 🇺🇸. According to Newsweek, the Americans are set to transfer a "large batch" of Switchblade 600 drones to Ukraine. For those that don't remember, these drones were purchased back in early 2023, using USAI funds to procure them directly from Aerovironment...
Obviously this is meant to be hyperbolic and a little bit humoristic, but it goes without saying that Holocaust falls squarely on the German Nazis and their associates / allies. Nobody else.
No problem. If you don't want to hear anything that doesn't fit your narrative, or the narrative of the side you support, the ignore feature seems like the correct action for you!
