The USA and the allies are one part of the play, There are more actors than just them, Iran, Turkey, Syria, Afghanistan, Pakistan, China, Qatar, and these conflicts have repercussions in Central Asia, Asia Minor, Armenia, Azerbaijan, this is more complex than simply American intervention, which was more of an incubator that fostered these conditions.

The only way Jihad can be defeated is if everyone awakens to Islam and submits to Allah’s will. Okay? Now do you prefer Ali or Abu Bakr?

The conflict will never be resolved until either Iran or Saudi Arabia collapses and a new government is installed. Then what happens? Does the attention shift to the next realm to destabilise?

It worked for the most part in east Germany up until the late 70s and 80s where they got a bit weird. East Germany wasn’t properly reintegrated and is still lagging behind the rest of the country. There is nuance to every situation and things can’t be reduced to ‘failure/success’, well what if something works for thirty years and fails for ten? Then it’s both right? I think among older people there is a sense of nostalgia for the DDR, despite its failings. West Germany thrived because it was also propped up by the USA and external funding, I don’t think the eastern bloc ever got that sort of funding from Russia. https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Marshall_Plan https://www.cambridge.org/core/journals/central-european-history/article/abs/coldwar-economics-the-use-of-marshall-plan-counterpart-funds-in-germany-19481960/BEAEFCDA02A37D21E1556E3713BC2A46

Stalin wasn't exactly Mr. Friend-to-the-Jewish-people, but to have him in the same sentence as Hitler is a conflation that shouldn't be made. His purges affected a great many people Jewish included but they weren't motivated by sheer Antisemitism like Hitler.

Of course it's a problem but it isn't on mass-media 24/7, so it isn't disseminated as quickly or effectively. The main problem is people's dualism, which is an easily consumable concept that people aren't even aware as having as core fundamental law to their perception of the world. It isn't good vs evil, both sides are doing the best they can to bleed the other to death, and people need to see the warmongering for what it is on both the Israeli and Palestinian viewpoints. The only thing we are guaranteed is that people that shouldn't have to die are going to die at the end of a weapon.

I'd say Hamas propaganda is considerably less of a problem than Israel propaganda; at least Hamas propaganda brings attention to the atrocities committed by the player in this game that holds all the cards, otherwise we'd just be in a state of continued Islamophobia of videos of men in scarves smashing babies skulls against walls, instead of men in scarves and people in mitznefets doing it as well

I don't think anyone has said anything in support of the Palestinian leadership in Gaza or the West Bank.

They aren't treated as fairly by the government and culture though. https://www.cfr.org/backgrounder/what-know-about-arab-citizens-israel#chapter-title-0-4 The difference is that they don't live in Gaza, I think that's a major qualifier for treatment in this scenario, the oversight is markedly different in warzones, and people's actual ethnicity is besides the point as long as they in an area they can be easily 'misidentified'.

But mate Arab=/Palestinian and you know very well the mindset of ‘one of the good ones’. Hitler’s driver was Jewish for crying out loud. @Dr. Gonzo

You heard it here first folks, disliking how Israel views and treats Palestinians is equivalent to the cultural phenomenon of women over fifty harassing retail and service industry workers. You may as well say Palestinian lives are equal to a Starbucks coffee, about USD $5.

Maduros are tasty, you don’t know what you’re banging on about.

Similar thing just happened on NYC. Some bloke was waiting for a bus with his girlfriend and a teenaged basehead accosted him and stabbed him to death. Even worse still he was on a bunch of committees and working to improve NYC for people like the murderer.

What is worse they also say Jordan Mailata has experience in the scrum playing rugby. Two things wrong with that statement, and you already know what they are.

Quinn Hughes, I was wrong.

I’m going nuts with the misattribution of scrum with the tush push. It’s a bloody maul not a scrum.

Thanks for saving me the trouble mate, I was about kick on with this line of thought,

RTX is the modern day Raytheon though lol, the subsidiaries are new. It’s the same company as Raytheon.

Raytheon folded in 2020. RTX is the holding company not the subsidiary https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Raytheon https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/RTX_Corporation

I stand by that Cuba has all the infrastructure to be a great country but not the materials.

No mate, it literally not called Raytheon anymore. The company was merged and renamed RTX. It says Raytheon, it still is Raytheon, but all official reasons, it’s not Raytheon, it is RTX, as Raytheon folded in 2020. I will not budge on this, orange clapped your arse on this lmao
