What can you expect from these Islamists? Precision?

They are making rockets/missiles in their basements, so this is what you get.

Islamists fucked up again.

This whole region will not see peace until Israel/US eradicates ALL Islamists from the Gaza Strip and the West Bank.

The real tragedy is that the Palestinian people cannot leave these areas, no Arab/Islamic country wants them.

Any money spent to eliminate terrorists is money well spent.

Right now America has two military enemies: Iran and Russia and one frenemy: China.

When Russia did the same think they are against it and supported the Ukraine whereas Palestine ask for the same but US is supporting and financing the invasion so it shows the double standards of US.

At the end of the day Innocent lives were taken and the money used to finance is also coming from the innocent tax payers working hard and pay tax to government.

You got it backwards. Ukraine never attacked Russia before 2022. Russia has been attacking Ukraine since Feb. 2014.

The US is on the side that is fighting (Palestinian, Iranian, Russian) terrorists.

There is no double standard. Israel has been attacked by terrorists on a daily basis. So is Ukraine.

Hello Smiley

As you know USA gives a lot and a lot of money to a small terrorist and racist group that currently occupies Palestine and call themselves "Israël".
They think they are "the chosen people" and they should lead the world.
This is not a small amount, we talk about billions of dollars, that could be use for social help, to reduce debt or to reduce taxes.

The terrorist group uses this money to buy weapons and to kill people and also to finance "islamic" terrorist groups to attack other countries Libya, Syria, Irak, etc.

My question is, for American people, are you sure your interest is to finance "Israël" or is it possible that lobbies (for example AIPAC) corrupt your politicians and could push some policies against the interest of American citizens ?

As to Russia's support of Hamas, I haven't seen any official statements by the Kremlin so far and I have limited access to Russian media but some sources claim that Russians are ridiculing Israel's defensive efforts and are happy to distract US's attention from Ukraine. Iran-backed Hamas seems to get more support from Russia for political reasons.
Russia does not support Hamas, although it does not classify it as a terrorist organization and considers the leaders of its political wing to be legitimate partners for negotiations (at the same time, the Muslim Brotherhood, from which Hamas spun off in 1987, is considered a terrorist organization in Russia). It can be assumed that Russia's sympathies are on the side of the Palestinian people, but there is no need to draw far-reaching political conclusions from this.

Russia is a multinational secular state and any radical religious manifestations are unacceptable for it.

Hamas visited the Kremlin several times to discuss the current operation. Russia was involved, and so was Iran.

Ismail Haniyeh met with Lavrov in Sept. 2022 to discuss a high-level plan for this current distraction.

Saleh Al-Arouri met with Lavrov and the RF military in March 2023 to finalize the details.

Google it first before you open your mouth.

How is that May 9th, 2022 victory parade in Kyiv coming along? Still dreaming about it?

Currently, Chuck Schumer, leader of the Democratic majority in the US Senate, is on an official visit to China; yesterday he met with Xi. Came to arrange for Xi to visit San Francisco in November. Relatively recently, Blinken also was in China. By your logic, does this mean that China supports the US and that the US supports China?

Russia does not support either side of the Palestinian-Israeli conflict, but has diplomatic contacts with representatives of both sides. This is normal. When Zelensky wants to end the conflict with Russia, taking into account the real state of affairs, Russia will be ready to listen to him carefully. Or does Ukraine still hope to win? Grin

Sure, except for the fact that Wagner PMC trained Hamas fighters in Africa on how to use drones to drop small bombs on the enemy.
Where did they learn it?

Hamas and Hezbollah will be destroyed in a matter of weeks.

Israel just destroyed Hezbollah camps in Egypt and Lebanon. The US deployed special forces today to clean up the remaining Hezbollah fighters on Israel's northern border.

Russia is going to get it. Trust me. Americans are pissed as fuck for Iran's and Russia's involvement.

Expect hell to break loose.

BTW, nobody will be doing any negotiations with Hamas, Hezbollah, Iran or Russia. The time for talking is over.

Soon Gaza Strip people - 2 millions - will be without food, water, and electricity due to blockade from Israel side. What will be next then ? Max time for living without water is ~3 days. I do not know if Mediterranean sea water is ok for drinking, probably not. Some food and water of course can be imported from Egypt.

I think human corridors will be opened for civilians to leave through the Rafah border crossing. Those who stay will be risking their lives.

Israel will probably start a clearing operation in the Gaza Strip. They just softened the Hamas positions before going in.

They will probably go from the north and eliminate Hamas and their supporters.

We are living in a society where whether you like it or not, you can't choose to close your eyes to the kind of people who lead you.

We've had very educated leaders who got intoxicated by power and couldn't differentiate what was right from wrong and have also had some who because of there level of education and exposure have brought remarkable changes and developments to the place and people they govern.
 
We've seen others who are very old but believe they need to rule at certain leadership position before retiring and in so doing got the whole system messed up with ancient leadership patterns that had grown obsolete.

Some served in different positions in the past but with there wealth of experience, when divine vital position make a whole mess of the opportunity divine to them to serve.

Considering all these and the kind of leader that the world needs to face it technological advancement, should age, experience or education be the key index for ascertaining who would make a good leader?

From the most important to the least important: experience, education, age.

As the society grows and the need to control the population of people becomes an important topic of discussion, what was looked at by the majority of the society as taboo has gradually turned to a normal occurrence.

Countries now do so many things to control the number of children a couple is allowed to have and the rate of abortion is increasing by the day.

Although some society and religion strictly kicks against it and victims are punishable by the laws of some societies, that hasn't stopped people from taking part in it

While Some don't even see it as anything bad, some feel undergoing abortion is same as taking a life and the culprit should be subject to punishment.

With so many thought process regarding this topic, whats your take on abortion?

Pregnancy is a private medical condition. Only the person who has this condition should be deciding how to handle it.

Limiting access to abortion is criminal IMHO.

How many more Ukrainians must die before this thought ceases to seem unacceptable to you? I think no one will accuse the Ukrainians of cowardice, they have been fighting bravely for a year and a half against a rival many times superior in strength, without the slightest chance of success. Maybe it's time to listen to the voice of reason and to the banal instinct of self-preservation? As before, Russia does not require anything supernatural from Ukraine - only to respect the interests of Russian-speaking citizens and observe strategic neutrality. Is it really worth dying for?

How many? Four times less than Russians.

31  Other / Politics & Society / Re: Russian Invasion of Ukraine[In Progress] on: September 04, 2023, 02:08:59 AM
What happened?

Nazis got unexpected help from USA and UK?
Our Ukrainian friend prefers not to remember that in April 2022, negotiations between Ukraine and Russia were already at the final stage, until Boris Johnson flew from London to Kiev on an unannounced urgent visit and ordered Zelensky to curtail negotiations and fight with Russia to the last Ukrainian.

Nope, I do recall the UK supporting Ukraine in whatever Ukraine would decide. The UK cannot force Ukraine into a war simply because there is not leverage to do so even in the case that this would be in UKs interest.

Ukraine is not fighting anything like a "desperate war to the last Ukrainian", they are fighting a war that is clearly possible to win to the point in which Ruzzia will think twice before trying another land-grabbing in a few years. Next time, whoever is in power will know what is the cost of attacking the neighbour and very particularly, how trustable are their sources of information when they told the old Putler dude that Ukraine would not resist and that Europe would not respond (that was an epic blunder).

Of course it's not a "desperate war to the last Ukrainian." They're volunteering for the benefit of the necessity of depopulation, because out of love they know that the whole world is suffering from over-population. Lol.

I don't think that Biden will be able to force a draft on Americans. And the Nato countries don't like the idea at all. This means that outside of a few strays that go to fight for Ukraine, all Russia has to do is keep on killing Ukraine soldiers. The problem for Russia is, when all the Ukrainians are dead, there won't be anybody left to surrender.

Consider Dresden in Germany in WW2. They thought they were safe, being rather far from Berlin, and near the Czechoslovakian border. But they got bombed right off the map, and now Czechoslovakia is even gone.

Cool

Actually, it is simpler than that.

If Ukrainians stop fighting, there will be no Ukraine.

If Russians stop fighting, there will be no Putin.

This war will continue until Putin and all Putiniatkas are eliminated.

In the end, there will be only one winner.

PS. Russians can stop this war today by refusing to go to fight in Ukraine. Ukrainians don't have this luxury.

After two nighttime explosions, the Crimean bridge is closed. Moreover, the ferry service has also been suspended. I can imagine how the bunker squeals from such news.

Maybe you are right about Russia. After all, why would anybody (Russia in this instance) want to annex a country whose very name is Crimea?, except that they loved criminality? Of course, that's why it was Ukrainian in the first place, right?

Cool

How about Qırım or Krym? Still a crime?

Ukraine:
According to the Hungarian newspaper Magyar Nemzet, “Many conscripted men are taken straight off the street by uniformed men….in Subcarpathia, a surveillance camera recorded the overreach of the authorities as a man trying to go to a store was kidnapped from his bicycle in broad daylight.” Many of these abductions have been recorded on video and posted on encrypted apps such as Telegram.

In response, some young men are refusing to leave their homes, hoping to avoid being sent to the front lines of the war. Others are avoiding forced conscription by bribing Ukrainian military recruitment officials. Many of these officials have become rich. In fact, one of them, Yevgeny Borisov, bought a luxury mansion on the Spanish coast and a chain of high-priced retail stores for his wife.

Sadly, corruption is rampant in Ukraine, which is why even supporters of our military assistance efforts, U.S. Senators John Kennedy (R-LA) and Krysten Sinema (I-AZ), wrote that “Americans lack a proper accounting of how our aid has worked thus far.” In their op-ed, the Senators also noted that “We’ve heard several unsettling reports of bad actors exploiting our generosity. Some of our costly weapons have ended up in black markets. And corrupt officials have tried to line their own pockets.”


Cool

Ukraine has a lot of problems with corruption. It is a side effect of being under Soviet/Russian rule for over 70 years.

Do you even know what sort of corruption exists in Russia? The country that you so vehemently defend.

Russia (137/180) is way more corrupt than Ukraine (116/180).

a normal country like the rest of Eastern Europe.

...

Science hides a lot of what they find. For example, they have found through the Voyager satellites that they almost don't have a clue as to what the universe is made of. But those who publish what the scientists say about Voyager discoveries, publish those ideas as though they were fact, even though the scientists clearly express them only as ideas.

Consider the Microsphere Nanoscope... a microscope that can see living things in color that were only formerly visible, dead, in an electron microscope. Yet few people talk about the MN, because what it sees is changing the whole understanding of how life works. And no scientist wants his pet ideas to be trampled on, even by the truth.

Part of the reason science is not finding the truth is, they fail to scientifically appropriately explore the foundations of the Bible, God, and the reason for Jesus... Jesus, Who was made to be equal with God, by God Himself.
...

This perfectly proves how people read things they do not have a clue about, they think they got it and get inevitably to the wrong conclusions. Science follows a method that provides some certainties under a certain context of the human understanding, nothing more.

Religion is based on pure dogma. Nothing is proven ever, it is simply said and people are just expected to believe it. As you can see, the "truth" bar is set to a zero level for religion, yet we still the same people who do not question that which is without proof, questioning science which actually does require proof for the conclusions.
 

Proper religion absolutely has proof. Proper science doesn't have proof that can't be changed when necessary. For example...

One, tiny, simple proof for the Bible is the city or Jericho. In the Bible OT it says that the people of Israel marched around ancient Jericho for seven days. Then, on the seventh day, they shouted... and the walls of Jericho fell over flat.

For hundreds of years the city of Jericho was lost to us. Scientists and archaeologists thought that it was a fabrication. Then they found it, with the walls fallen flat, just like the OT says.

The Bible, the most published book, is impossible to exist. Without study into the Bible and how it came about, a person wouldn't understand that it is impossible.

There are parts and scraps from something like 25,000 ancient copies of the New Testament from the first couple hundred years of its existence. The only way people would have made this many copies was if it had happened, and the people were healed like Jesus said. Their healing made them excited enough that they would publish accurate copies at a time when the only way was to copy them by hand.

The science of the late 1800s, when scientists expressed that there was nothing left to discover, shows us that scientific proof isn't being followed. Scientific proof only exists in reality when the science can be demonstrated by engineered results that match the science.

There are many more examples of proof for and against religions and science. The point that comes out of this is that 'science', as the term generally means today, has a meaning similar to the meaning of 'religion'. Sometimes it is difficult to tell which parts of science are not religion, and what parts of religion are not science.

Cool

Don't get me started on the Bible. The most vile book ever written. Why would need "proof for the Bible"? Proof of what?
That it was written by 45+ authors over the course of 2500 years, only to have its 'books/stories' cherry-picked at
the First Council of Nicea in 325 CE. The nastiest book ever written.

1. No. There is no such thing. We know because we went to space to check.

2. When you die, your body decomposes and atoms in your body become part of something else. 'You' don't
'go' anywhere.

A better question is: "What constitutes me/you?"

Is your body, your brain, 'you'?

If you believe that your 'soul' goes to heaven, then your body/brain is not 'you'.
If you follow this logic, 'you' don't exist. At least nobody was able to detect 'you'.

If on the other hand, you consider your body/brain to be 'you', then 'you' definitely don't go anywhere after you die.

PS. What constitutes a 'soul'? What is its chemical composition?

Military experts insist Ukraine’s counteroffensive is not failing, “just off to a slow start” – tell that to the Marines



https://www.naturalnews.com/2023-07-02-military-experts-insist-ukraine-counteroffensive-isnt-failing.html
Military experts insist that Ukraine's much-anticipated offensive is not failing, claiming that it is "way too early" to be drawing conclusions about the success or failure of Kyiv's renewed push to retake territories.

Kyiv has launched one of its largest military operations since the start of the war. But now, even Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky is acknowledging that this offensive is going "slower than expected."

"It's just getting underway," said retired Lt. Gen. Ben Hodges, who formerly served as the commanding general of United States Army Europe, in an interview with Business Insider. "Most of Ukraine's army is not even in the fight yet."

Official sources claim that Ukraine is still in the initial phase of its most recent ground operations, which are focused on collecting information and confirming intelligence that offers insight into the enemy's objectives.

"The offensive has started, but not the main attack," claimed retired Australian Army Maj. Gen. Mick Ryan. He added that the Ukrainians have taken a broad front approach to the conflict, scanning the front lines and trying to find penetrable places to attempt to break through the Russian defenses.

"When they find it, they'll do it," he said. "They only have to create one significant breakthrough to cause all kinds of problems for the Russians."

I would love to see them try again. Now, every reservist, TO household has a few Javelins... Russians would be slaughtered right after they cross the border.

Russians are hell-bent on dying so let's go Vlad.

They cannot move any forces from the southern front. Quite the opposite, they have to constantly replace the losses with
freshly mobilized and convicts.

They would need at least 1M army to storm the northern border in order to be able to reach Kyiv and another 1M+ to take it.

That would be a massive undertaking, not impossible, but it would take years to prepare such a campaign.

Otherwise, they risk losing millions of men.

I thought the Russian public would start questioning this war at around 200,000 KIA, but I was wrong.

This will go on until the Russians decide they've had enough, or until they realize that the ruins are not worth it.

Does anyone think that Crimea, Luhansk, or Donbas will be safe even with the current front line? Ukrainians will be
hitting it preventing the Russian army from exercising full control over that area.
It is just a waste of money and human resources, IMHO.

When you posted so many links, I already expected that it will be something serious. But again, I got disappointed. From all links, there is maybe 2 photos or videos which MIGHT show arrival to the dam. Rest is cheap propaganda shit, which proves nothing. If Ukraine really systematically bombed dam, there would be much more noise
I see that you catched this interview from WP and using it as strong evidence. Even if it's true what was told it, it contradicts to your acussations. You're talking about systematical attacks on dam, but in article they're talking about one test hit.
If you carefully read my previous posts on this subject, you will find that I am not blaming Ukraine for the destruction of the dam at the Kakhovka hydroelectric power station, I am just saying that there is more evidence against Ukraine than against Russia. Even one test hit and a frank admission of it is much more than zero.

At your request, I brought you a dozen links from Russian-language resources and one from an English-language resource. Give me as a counterargument at least some evidence that Russia did this and we will be able to continue this dialogue in a constructive and meaningful way. If you plan to continue the empty accusation tactics, then the cheap propaganda shit is in your head.

Hey, Z-dipshit.

Russia mined the dam the moment they captured it. The nuclear power station is mined as well.

Russia was in control of the dam when the explosion was recorded by satellite infrared imaging.

The explosion caused the collapse, and Russians are responsible, the only question is if they did it on purpose or
by gross incompetence in handling the explosives.

Z-Russians will NEVER admit to any fault but instead, they scream in tandem: "Russia never invaded Ukraine!!!".

Kiev's Long-Term "Last Resort" Plan To Blow-Up The Kakhova Dam Exposed



https://www.zerohedge.com/geopolitical/kievs-long-term-last-resort-plan-blow-kakhova-dam-exposed
As we detailed earlier, both sides accuse each other of the attack that puts tens of thousands of homes at risk and might even threaten the safety of Europe's largest nuclear power plant.

However, as Raul Ilargi Meijer writes, twice last year (here and here), Ukrainian officials discussed Kiev's plans to blow up the dam.

Andrew Korybko lays out the real narrative here:

The partial destruction of the Kakhovka Dam on early Tuesday morning saw Kiev and Moscow exchange accusations about who's to blame, but a report from the Washington Post (WaPo) in late December extends credence to the Kremlin's version of events.

Titled "Inside the Ukrainian counteroffensive that shocked Putin and reshaped the war", its journalists quoted former commander of November's Kherson Counteroffensive Major General Andrey Kovalchuk who shockingly admitted to planning this war crime:

"Kovalchuk considered flooding the river. The Ukrainians, he said, even conducted a test strike with a HIMARS launcher on one of the floodgates at the Nova Kakhovka dam, making three holes in the metal to see if the Dnieper's water could be raised enough to stymie Russian crossings but not flood nearby villages. The test was a success, Kovalchuk said, but the step remained a last resort. He held off."

Cool

Are you mentally retarded?

Ukraine lost a lot when this dam was blown up. Russian military gained a natural buffer zone, and can now relocate some of their forces to the other fronts.

The upstream nuclear power station will only be able to operate one reactor until this dam is rebuilt. That is a huge economic loss to Ukraine.
Never mind the ecological nightmare.

To think that Ukraine was behind this is simply insane.

This is textbook Soviet/Russian policy of scorched Earth.

I am afraid Russians will blow up the nuclear power station next.
Once the Ukrainian army gets closer to Melitopol, Russians will panic.
