So many of the people of Gaza are under the age of 18 and still in relatively good health. They could be excellent additions to the social fabric / tax base of safer, more prosperous countries that have plenty of room for them. I'll repeat what I've said previously. I'd gladly take ten's of...

There is absolutely no evidence that the thousands of Gazans that the Gaza health ministry (controlled by Hamas) claim to have been killed is actually the case. Certainly the numbers are higher than anyone wants to see among civilians, but the numbers are almost certainly exaggerated in...

More sensationalist nonsense. There is nothing that meets the definition of genocide happening in Gaza. The Palestinian population is exploding (no pun intended) and growing at an enormous rate, well above that of the global average. With how densely populated Gaza is and how much air and...

Don't be so sure of that. There are plenty of international community members, including those in the West, that are pushing Israel to not embark on a ground invasion. There's a lot of that rhetoric coming from behind the scenes. It's not really a winnable war for Israel. Even if they do manage...

How wild would it be to just fire up the turbofans and start ingesting some Dagestanis lol? Crazy buggers!

I've been saying it for as long as anyone has listened. WE ARE NOT THE GOOD GUYS. This is not a story about good and evil. This is a story about conflicting ideas, from seperate tribes, battling for power in the world we live in. It's a story as old as humanity itself. There are different...

USA will provide a separate aid package to Ukraine. Biden wanted Congress to pass a bill for more than $100 Billion usd, which would have included $14.8 Billion usd for Israel, $61 Billion usd for Ukraine, and money for the U.S. southern border and disaster relief. Instead, Congress wants to do...

USA is producing roughly 60 "Frankensam" systems for Ukraine, combining existing BUK air defense systems with U.S. Sea Sparrow missiles and an unknown air defense system with AIM-9 Sidewinder missiles. A few are in use, but according to the NYT, roughly 60 of the "Frankensam" units will be...

Of course they do! They've been preparing for this war with Israel for two years per reports. They've not only stolen / re-purposed a huge chunk of aid that the West has sent Palestine, they've also received weapon's funding and training from Iran. They're not going to simply lay down and die...

The frustrating thing for the Palestinian people is that all forms of aid will have to go through both Israel and Hamas, which means a lot of things will not be permitted to enter Gaza by the IDF, and many of those things that will be allowed to enter will be stolen by Hamas. As is the case so...

What a hilariously bad post. The EU has provided Ukraine with well over 1 million shells in both NATO and Soviet standard calibers, dating back to the onset of the conflict. The 1 million shells promise from the EU came in late February 2023. The shells were to be delivered over the course of 1...

Ukrainians are choosing to fight for their existence as a nation. That's something easily worth funding, especially given how relatively little it's costing us (the West) to keep them in the fight.

Lol why? The USA still has more than $5 Billion left in Presidential Drawdown Authority and Federal grant authority to provide Ukraine plenty of weaponry throughout the remainder of 2023. They just chose a new Speaker of House and Congress is now negotiating the terms of a new, $61 Billion usd...

It doesn't seem as if this is a full fledged ground invasion yet. It seems like there were attempted negotiations but one (or both) sides didn't find the terms acceptable, so Israel's keeping on with the bombing campaign and starting to trickle armored elements into some areas of Northeastern Gaza.

Lol in the Yom Kippur war they were suprise attacked by a coalition of neighboring countries, aided by multiple expeditionary forces, helped financed by funding across the region. The opposing armies outnumbered the Israeli military substantially and attacked them on a holiday. Not only did they...

Germany 🇩🇪 has announced a new military aid package for Ukraine. The package will include the following... - 1 additional IRIS-T SLM air defense system - TRML-4D RADAR - 4 HX81 Tank Tractors and trailers - IRIS-T air defense missiles - 4 Additional APCS (like Dingo) - 8 Additional Vector...

The EU has agreed to transfer all interest collected on the $180 Billion worth of frozen Russian assets it has in its possession, to Ukraine. In 2023 alone those assets (largely investments) are set to produce $4 billion worth of interest. That $4 billion will be transferred to Ukraine for...

The U.S. is fine. All they have to do is play the role of "bouncer" for Israel and ensure that no other conventional military joins the conflict. They're going to pass a $14.8 billion usd emergency military aid bill for Israel, which, of course, is pennies for them overall when we're talking...

A very small "warning" strike by the U.S. of course, who has a full stockpile of air and sea launched precision munitions available to them, due to the fact that they've given almost no weapons of those categories to Ukraine in their defense against Russia. They'll give the Iranians every...

Quite possible. I'm not going to deny it without any evidence, but I'm also not going to simply believe it because Hamas said it and provided no video evidence to support it. They also said (through the Gaza health ministry) that 500 people were killed in the hospital attack. It appears that...
