I feel like we need to start boycotting sportswashing by asshole countries.

…

I have an idea.

How about the pope turn over all the pedo priests? and all the evidence they’ve burried, too. And like. Let them have their day in court. Criminal. Court.

Oh. that’s right.

Vance is already talking about it.

So, y’all remember that twitter profile “Shit My Dad Says”?

One of them was “when people start talking about sick size, don’t whip out a ruler; keep your mouth shut, stuff your crotch and keep your pants on.”

(Or something like that.)

The more they insist that their nukes … whelp. The more we think we should let them whip one out.

I’m sure Ukraine could find a use. Maybe we tow it to a port of their choosing?

Where’s the Black Sea fleet hiding again?

Pretty sure any overt act against a nato member is going to lead to all of nato jumping Russia.

That’s kinda the point of the alliance.

Basically all medication has side effects.

Aspirin works by blocking production of cyclooxygenase, which, causes platelets not to produce thromboxane A2, effectively permanently rendering affected platelets useless.

COX also reduces productions of prostaglandins which mediates pain- basically, causing your nerves to pay attention to pain signals. (I’m sure some one who’s actually a doctor or nurse is swearing at me by now…) and also triggers more inflammation.

COX also increases production of PGE2 (another prostaglandin,) which is what triggers the fever response.

This is how most NSAIDs work, though they each have other side effects, that are different from the others.

Well. It can’t all be snake oil.

I mean people get suspicious of snake oil literally cures… like… everything…

They’re never going to accept a ceasefire deal with out… motivation to do so.

That’s going to have to start with blocking all aid, and probably sanctions.

Seriously. Netanyahu wants this genocide. He wants war with Lebanon/hezbolla and ultimately Iran. And no, he doesn’t really give a fuck what else gets destabilized because of it.

At the moment? Yes.

But Pootie-Boo there never meant to stop with just Ukraine. Which is why NATO was expanding so much so quick.

I’m still trying to figure out how evergrande hasn’t collapsed into the cesspit

His password is probably still MAGA2020

For like. Everything.

My microwave is commercial grade. It can handle all the hot pockets!

(Wait… uhm. I don’t have a microwave…)

Ridiculous. A cluster munition covers a whole area with shrapnel indiscriminately. Tiny bombs carried by targets are a whole different category both as a weapon and effects wise.

The ordinance in a cluster munition is called a bomblet. It’s called a bomblet because it’s a tiny bomb

And like a cluster munition, the pager has caused indiscriminate shrapnel across an entire city.

Hamas has indiscriminately slaughtered civilians on October 7th and fires unguided rockets at inhabited areas. Hezbollah fires rockets into Israel constantly and indiscriminately, killing Druze children playing outside.

The whole reason Israel did this attack is because Hezbollah just doesn’t want to stop attacking Israeli civilians.

the whole reason hamas did the attack was because of apartheid conditions in Gaza.

You attack them, they attack you, you attack them, round and round it goes until there’s nobody left to attack.

And yes. Israeli paramilitaries started the current cycle of violence with the Nakba. I’m tired of the bullshit. Aren’t you?

There’s no world war 3. Israel gets hated on and condemned every time they defend themselves against terrorists attacking their cities.

Didn’t say there was . I said “if”, with the hypothetical that roles were reversed.

Are you really saying that’s not true?

You act like there moral superiority. There is none. Your response to a terrorist attack is to genocide a people.

Which, to be perfectly blunt, is the reason people are being critical of (not hating in my case,) the Israeli government. Because they’re doing a genocide.

And the reason I’m critical of you? You’re defending genocide.

Even if you take the assumption for granted, no. They did not know any such thing. At all.

First off, lets talk about the assumption- that the pager was issued to, and in the possession off, a hezbollah member.

That’s it. That’s as far as they “knew”, and it’s really just an assumption. For all mossad knew, a few got passed around to friends or family. You know. “For their safety”, or something.

Now onto how there was no knowledge of where those IEDs were physically located. Pagers are passive receivers. The pager network sends a signal, then pagers receive it and display a number or whatever.

They don’t always do two-way communication, and given their reason for buying them… I doubt these are. Which means the pagers are entirely passive and probably would work over most the globe. As long as the pager (which is the receiver) is in range of its broadcast tower network (which probably includes satellites,) then they work.

There’s a reason they’re used by emergency services, and it’s that drop-dead-simplicity and reliability.

So no. Mossad or whoever did not know where rhe fucking bombs were. All they knew was that they were likely to be physically near targets of interest.

But they had know way of knowing who had which pager (probably.) or where that pager was, or who else was around that pager.

In short this is as indiscriminate as Russia’s use of cluster munitions on cities. It’s absolutely terrorism.

We’d be starting WW 3 if hezbollah or hamas did this to Israel. So why are we tolerating this from Israel?

it wasn’t though.

they deliberately set off an explosive device with no notion as to where that device or who else it was around. This was a deliberate act, and the way their using them, the chaos and “collateral damage” isn’t a bug, it’s a feature.

So that’s justification to kill her?

The 10 year old girl was Hezbolah?

Lake Superior is deep enough. but it’s cold enough the corpse won’t go away anytime soon.

I imagine you can fit a wood chipper into a boat and then take care of all the problems that way.

Start with a wood chipper.

Saw that in a movie once.
