That is true, but their fighting capacity and influence is pretty weak, they got slapped up pretty good by the largely disorganised Egyptians.

It's been over a month and more and more information, images, satellite imagery, spy plane footage, iranians that resist the IRGC photos and recordings showing the hell Israel rained down on Iran. Iran knew it was coming and still couldn't do anything, confirmation is out that IAF struck a nuclear research centre which had active centrifuges. Khomenei is also said to be in bad state, and it may see a end to conflict while there is a transition of power and to see what his successor brings to the table.

I suppose if you want to MCU and twist reality. They (hamas) were offered clemency if they surrendered, they were to be allowed to leave Gaza indefinitely and allow the day after to carry out. Since that wasnt considered suffice to say the more likely outcome is they will be trying even harder to kill their own as the walls close around them. Jubalia is Hamas's Baghouz, the last stand, it failed for ISIS, it will fail for them.

STALKER 2 and Delta Force coming soon, its beginning to look a lot like Christmas

It doesn't say anything about Israel doing it so why do you assert that it is Israel's problem? The other article didn't have much other than "eye witness says" but I find it strange that a place where people are running around with their phones recording somehow has no recording of it? an eye witness alone is not sufficient to pass the probability test unless it can show beyond reasonable doubt that there is no other explanation as to what could have happened ie: Hamas burned it down because they have more incentive now to cause mass suffering so as to force something of a favourable outcome.

Saving up for the 9800X3D, AMD are killing it now.

Lyon Provisionally Relegated to Ligue 2
OrangeKhrush replied to Stan's topic in French Football Forum - Ligue 1
Bordeaux now Lyon, the French league are going to ensure they kill all their legacy teams at the alter of FFP. -
The Premier League has always had rules, they have had to manufacture rules in the modern game where private ownership and investment has become a prominent thing. The premier leagues only obligation is to create rules pertaining to football and not rules regarding financing and ownership, that falls within the scope of legislative bodies. They could have just created rules on max spending (50m a season max per team) and/or salary limits per week/year, that would have regulation enough and stopped sugar daddy spending sprees, it would have driven the transfer market down to reality and clubs would not be paying the "rashfords" 350k a week unless they wanted to saturate the payroll on fewer players. FFP was created as a means to keep the quote on quote "big teams" arses in the butter while making it look like it was a fair game but in reality it isn't.

I think he would have learned from the last time, that it matters who you build around. It is fundamentally important to surround yourself with big brains, high charisma, high energy type people. If they play this smart they set themselves up for 2028 and a succession plan, it is also enough time to get someone like Ramaswamy capable to run. He does have some obstacles he will need to clear out fast, establishment Republican saboteurs. Romney, McConnel, McCarthy, Christie, Graham. They are charlatans. Then it will be about the policies, the electorate does not like to wait, there are quite a few low hanging fruits to start that process off.

The results were unexpected but astounding, the Democrat talking heads were right about one thing, Democracy was saved, the will of the people was clearly and unambiguously decided upon what the real interests were. The meltdowns were fun for a few days, they are now cliched and boring. I wonder how many are going to use the freedoms they have to leave like they say they will, my guess is not many because nothing the establishment said is going to materialise.

https://www.nbcnews.com/storyline/isis-terror/who-s-funding-isis-wealthy-gulf-angel-investors-officials-say-n208006 The Sources seem to point towards Qatar being the sponsor, that makes more sense as Qatar currently house Hamas and Hezbollah without ramifications, they are also the rogue gulf state that somehow enjoys protection from US bases. Some suggest that the US in order to threaten co-operation with Qatar with the Gulf states and peripheral nations need to threaten removal of military bases leaving Qatar exposed and vulnerable to the terror groups they intrinsically fund. ISIS FUNDING Saudi Arabia like Turkey may not be trust worthy due to one being largely a fundamentalist state with Wahhabism the core practise and the other beign run by a person that has expressed interest in Sufism and has spoken about a new caliphate with its center in Germany. they are also functionally to weak to take on NATO so they remain compliant.
-
It would be hard to do, it is hard enough keeping Turkey loyal to NATO. It will be hard to know what KSA's ultimate intentions are other than getting sweet new American toys.

Oman has flourished as a Monarchist state, the geographics and resource breakdown of Yemen and Oman shows two states with similar land build and resources, one is in a perpetual state of war and the other is thriving

Plan B is get rid of the IRGC and establish normality with Iran like it was before the dark days

It is now a second chance for the Abraham accords, Saudi Arabia have played their cards very close to the chest and refused to be bullied by Joe Biden, they will however agree to the conditions of the Abraham accords which will conclude issues of all territorial disputes resolved and formal recognition in the International community and a recognition of Israel amongst Islamic states. Saudi Arabi want NATO protection against the hostilities faced by Iran and its proxies, they also want to modernise their military capacity to defend their sovereignty. KSA have made moves to pitch out to Russia and China but the reality is they know it is inferior equipment and really want to renew a long contract with the US and NATO to ensure it can protect itself against genuine threats. The internal conditions are reasonable, it will be more along the lines of the 1947 UNGA 181 policy, with some minor tweaks, it will allow for the extension of the Gaza strip across the Sinai bord and a land bridge to join the West Bank, there will also be a DMZ along the Jordanian border to ensure there is not illicit smuggling and encroachment from outside actors. The more complex one is the split of Jeruselem between all the religions into certain blocks with Central being International territory. To get the accords to work Trump will need to get Netenyahu, MBS, bin Zayid Al Nahyan, Farrah el Sisi, Erdogan and Aoun on board. Netenyahu will be the hardest to convince but the benefits of it are far greater, it will open a diplomacy line amongst Saudi and Turkey, there are also lots of opportunities that open up with new partnerships with the Gulf and Turkey.

It was lost on poor policies and the her track record was awful. I am trying to look up what the historical results are for Republicans in California and NY which in more recent times have been one way states yet it shows Trump getting mid 40's which would be alarming if you are strategizing for the Democrat party. Narrowing it down, it came down to the economy and the Biden Harris presidency was awful and excluding foreign policy the Hawaii fires and the recent Hurricane relief was also not that good.
-
Jill Stein and Robert Kennedy both have around 600 000 votes.

Isnt the policy the reason for the loss? If you go on key policies the Democrat regime didnt do well on anything, and if kamala couldn't be bothered for 4 years what was going to change?
