whoever the Army sides with will win in hours.

And what if the army splits in two? That happens in civil wars ya know!

I really don’t see… …why someone with Chinese roots would do it

Tankies hate the West. Psychotic nationalists are capable of all sorts of dumb.

What about maga-friendly judges?

They could take the case, rule in trump’s favour, and get sweet sweet fascist cred.

Ah yes, nothing else embodies peace quite like the Vietnam War

Ya she seems like a total narcissist

Does it? Quietly hand a note to the bank teller that says: “this is a robbery, put $10000 in a bag”, then calmly walk out when they give it to you.

One could argue that there was violence implied, but that doesn’t mean that violence was used.

Right… Like: “it’s not a bank robbery if you don’t use a gun!”

Oil is one of the greatest natural resources we have just for the things we can make from it. The equipment and devices that make up our modern lives depend on oil fof their manufacturing. It should be a crime to burn such a critically important resource.

I’m assuming this is about the British? If that’s the case then I say a hands off approach because it would be interesting to see if they develop any culinary skills. Who knows, maybe if their society evolves enough, they might even be capable of participating in economic trade with others. Stranger things have happened.

One or more people on the board were upset with Sam pushing Open AI towards a “for profit” business model because they wanted to be all altruistic and not paywall things. But they were completely ignorant of the expensive reality of their tech (look up the tons of articles about Open AI burning through money) and after firing Sam, likely got a rude awakening from people in the company showing them the books. Once they realized their out of business in less than a year if they don’t monetize things, suddenly Sam’s ideas aren’t so bad and they know they just fucked the entire company over.

I think the way most Germans have owned the mistakes of Germany past, instead of trying to deny or ignore them, is an example that should be applauded and emulated by the rest of the world.

You done got whooshed 😂

It was totally justifiable! We had to end the war cuz hockey season was about to start.

Hamas kidnapped some American citizens and is holding them in Gaza. The US would likely prefer to attempt any rescue themselves or at least assist in any attempts.

Not a movie, but if you want scary you should try browsing real estate websites, the prices are truly horrific.

Welcome to McDonald’s, can I take your order?

Apparently I get my world news from the history books, here’s a few examples you can look up:

• 1967 Israel takes control of the entire Sinai Peninsula

• 1971 Israel returns Sinai Peninsula to Egypt

• 1982 Israel invades Lebanon after attacks from militants

• 1983 - 1985 Israel slowly withdraws from most of southern Lebanon

• 2000 Israeli completes withdrawal from Lebanon

• 2005 Israel withdraws all military and civilians from the Gaza Strip and hands over control to the Palestinian Authority

• 2007 Hamas violently overthrew the PA in Gaza (bet you didn’t cry about this)

• 2023 Israel withdraws from Jenin in the West Bank after invading

Never claimed otherwise. In fact, I literally mentioned Israel stealing land when I wrote:

their approach of taking tiny bites has been subtle enough to avoid causing repercussions, so they most likely just go back to doing that at a later date.

I guess that was too abstract?

You think Israel will just stop and leave the Southern half?

Even if they did, they’re keeping the northern part and annexing it.

I’m opposed to what Israel is doing but the truth is that Israel has repeatedly given back land they have captured during conflicts. So yes, they will not be annexing any land. As well, there is way too much international attention on them right now, whereas their approach of taking tiny bites has been subtle enough to avoid causing repercussions, so they most likely just go back to doing that at a later date.

The thing I don’t understand about this invasion is what’s stopping Hamas from just relocating south with the rest of the Palestinians? Sure they’ll lose some heavier equipment that might be hard to move but they don’t have that much of it to begin with. If they stay and fight they’ll lose the equipment anyways, and only end up getting killed. Whereas if they leave with the civilians, then Israel will look stupid after invading Gaza only to find nothing. Huge failure for them.
