Oh I guess this is fake news
That’s like…a short drive. In a supply convoy going over rough terrain looking out for drones, maybe a couple hours.
I dont see this guy wearing a headband
Only slightly related: Why don’t Hamas fighters wear a colored rag to distinguish combatants?
Does Mahmoud Abbas not exist?
What you’re describing is a big hassle, and at the end of the day a confrontation and poor customer experience still happened making that customer think twice before flying again.
If the seats had more space like they used to a long time ago, nobody would care. I blame the airlines.
This premise is invalid. Hamas governed Gaza for the past fifteen years, not Israel. Palestinians held elections until they voted in Hamas, which put an end to that. Israel maintained a blockade, but Egypt also strictly controlled Gaza trade and passage at Rafah. Not being able to ship stuff from your ports sucks, but Hamas made no good faith efforts to really improve the security situation to enable easy trade through Egypt. Having significant external influence over a region doesn’t mean you are their government.
Well, Hamas kidnapped several hundred civilians from a music festival to use as hostages before Israel militarily invaded Gaza. Or is that fake news?
That’s…Hamas doctrine. They use civilians as human shields to avoid western attacks. Israel is notably different in their approach where they have basically decided to ignore human shield attempts in order to more effectively counter Hamas. Arguably, if it never works and Hamas fighters get killed anyway, Hamas might stop doing it because being amongst civilians means there are a lot of people who can inform on where Hamas militants are and what they’re doing. I suspect most civilians there support Hamas though, so it probably won’t change Hamas doctrine.
In Afghanistan by contrast, the US worked with various tribal elders who didn’t support al-Qaeda. This information allowed US forces to counter human shield tactics in those areas and fighters increasingly moved out to the remote regions so civilians couldn’t inform the US where they were.
You have to gain real power first before attempting to make big changes, especially if the people currently in power have power over YOU.
They’ll get bargaining chip if they can hold it. Russia will want Kursk back, and maybe give up their gains in the east in an eventual settlement. On the other hand, it could drum up more popular support for a wider draft.
No ransom demand? lol
“How much do you think these Russians are worth?”
“Probably nothing - do not press our luck, but see if they offer anything.”
But there is one nice improvement, at least: F-16s are able to use all missile modes for NATO munitions instead of the couple available through converted Soviet era fighters. Some important features like BVR and multi-target engagement likely don’t work, or are severely limited, with Ukraine’s MiGs.
Is there any way on Lemmy to block any post with the words “Elon Musk”? So tired of scrolling through posts about a modern Howard Hughes.
Let’s follow this thought: Perhaps competent leadership would not have intentionally alienated a critical economic partner that is responsible for such a large aspect of their constituency’s quality of life, especially if there wasn’t serious ongoing work to obviate that relationship before cutting ties. The US still trades heavily with China despite disagreeing with the Chinese government ideologically, for instance.
Nice take edgelord. Living standards were quite low in the Soviet Union for the overwhelming majority of the population, and they had very little political freedom to imprpve them. Reforms were met with a coup attempt, and it fell apart into various states where even today many are not aligned with “the big spooky west”.
Science builds upon itself. Find an answer with the simpler case, and then work towards the more complex ones once we understand some of the mechanics. It’s like being upset that more funding is going to fighting specific cancers instead of generalized all-cancer treatments.
Don’t mix our precious Elmo with this clown! 😭
