I know, I know, this legally means jack shit. But it does signal the world saying, “We’re sick of your shit Israel.”

From a nation-state, world-wide thing, this is significant. Diplomacy is all about, “Please stop killing each other, don’t care who started it, just fucking STOP.”

Diplomats, UN included of course, speak in words you and I don’t use when talking amongst ourselves. Even if you are defender of Israel, this takes your cover. Most welcome. Fucking finally.

Wish Avasarala was running this fucking show. “I will run your balls over a cheese grater of you fire another fucking missile! Have a nice evening.”

Great thoughts! Especially about the ability to move. My only counter would be to say Russia is testing the EU’s coordination and willpower. Guess that was what I should have said.

This was an obvious in-your-face test. I’m not sure the strategic response should be open defense, STFU and lay low instead.

Say someone is hunting me in the woods and pops a few off, no real danger to me. If I shoot back, they know where I’m at, or at least discern how I will react. Why would I do anything but lay low and draw them in? Does that make sense?

And this is why I’m not involved in foreign affairs decision making. Well, that and barely at “bright normal” IQ. :)

I was wrong! I thought it was the whole tree which was rotten.

I have a very hard time believing this is a widespread thing. And not a soul on here is questioning it for fear of being pegged a tankie.

Leaked Ice document shows worker detained in Hyundai raid had valid visa

That’s worker, singular. Why would that be a story if the other 299 had legal visas?

The big story yesterday was that one had a valid visa.

Not even close. The second hand smoke studies were in regards to living with a smoker who smoked in the house.

We’re not that fragile or our own campfires would have killed us in the late Pleistocene.

Too. Fucking. Late. As many feel about America after electing Trump again, that’s how I feel about Israel.

I’m middle-aged. I bought the propaganda all these years. I am done. If the Arabs want to steam roll the entire region? Fucking go for it.

What’s killing me is how Jews have trashed their international goodwill. Now it’s in-your-face obvious that AIPIC is running our governments. Israel is committing genocide and the vast majority of the population seems all-in. You can’t speak ill of the country or it’s people or you are excoriated. Hell, I might get banned for this post! The “Jews run the world” people must be having a fucking heyday.

Any Israeli’s here? What’s the view from the inside? Do you not see how your world is eventually going to implode? And again, the antisemitic nuts have only gained power over all this. Fuck me, you’re already geographically isolated. How do you think this plays out?!

And no one responsible will be arrested or deported.

Europe needs to put on their big boy pants and see Russia for what it is, a fucking monster than needs to be wiped off the face of the Earth.

I grew up under the constant threat of world-ending nuclear annihilation from those goddamned animals. Got a little better once the Soviet Union fell and the gangsters took over. And now we’re almost back to square one.

Russia needs dismantled, with extreme violence. Anyway, that’s why I got banned from reddit.

Hadn’t thought of that! Yeah, got my first negative results from my liver a few months ago. Cut the bad habits, and not simply beer, tested fine a month later. LOL, my doctor was so proud! Thought I had quite drinking! Nope. Just cut the kratom powder that enabled me to stay up and drink more. :)

They’re fruits, but I’m betting “replica firearms” means “black powder”. Yes, they can certainly be deadly, but my god, if you’re never used black power, it’s a monster pain in the ass. I can get a total of 3 or 4 shots off, reloading each time of course, and the barrel is too filthy to shove the next ball in.

BP guns are such a joke, even felonious Americans can own them, and most states allow them to be shipped straight to your porch. I have never heard of a crime being committed with one. LOL, it’s like California banning modern .50cal guns. Has anyone in the history of ever used a .50BMG to crime?! OK, except Israel.

I can’t understand how he got out before a judge set bail. Anyone?

You never know. Friend of mine had a liver transplant and was completely off the immunosuppressants in 18 months, never took 'em again.

Let’s just say my Filipino wife is no fan of the Japanese due to the horrors they inflicted in WWII. LOL, and she’s half Japanese.

Used to be the case, but you made me think about it. Nowhere around here has automatically served water for years, you have to ask.

In a restaurant, with a garden hose!

LOL, so it should taste like distilled water? :)

Ex wife wouldn’t drink water, loathed it. Found out why when I visited her parents and drank the well water. She found water without all the minerals to be revolting.
