Obviously it’s good to minimize collateral damage and casualties wherever possible. But I see no issue with this result.

If a country values the lives of their citizens they will rescue them and spill any blood needed. Conversely, a nation that values its cut will try to minimize the harm that could come to them and keep hostages far from where they are.

Dead_or_Alive ,

I agree, Hamas is a criminal terrorist organization that does not value the lives of Palestinians. I mean a criminal terrorist organization hiding hostages amongst civilians in a heavily populated area they are worse than the example you gave because they intentionally put those civilians at risk of harm.

Dead_or_Alive ,

If it was my family or countrymen being held then absolutely the military should do what is necessary to secure their release.

Dead_or_Alive ,

I see, so the civilians who have had their friends and families killed, been violently forcibly kidnapped, had their taken from their family friends and homes abused, starved and raped don’t deserve their freedom?

Dead_or_Alive ,

Not with that attitude.

Dead_or_Alive ,

The ones that are victims of Hamas.

Dead_or_Alive ,

Sounds like the victimized Palestinian people need to band together and overthrow Hamas. That might be a better strategy than celebrating their victories by dragging the dead bodies of those lovely white ladies you mentioned around town in the back of trucks.

Dead_or_Alive ,

Friend, YOU are the one to suggest there are Palestinian victims of Hamas. Hamas also hides hostages amongst civilians thereby putting them in danger.

Hey friend, you seem to have deleted your comment. Further on down the thread.

It’s ok, I included a screenshot. Incidentally, the reason I took that screenshot is because there are many, many posters who will change their comment after the fact or delete their comment altogether to disingenuously try and shape the comment thread after the fact.

Anyways for the record I didn’t report you to the mods when you had your other comments removed.

Chao.

CEO of Google Says It Has No Solution for Its AI Providing Wildly Incorrect Information (futurism.com)

Are you me? I also switched after getting a VPN.

You support a people who would not only kill Israelis but would also kill any LGBTQ people they could identify. They are bigots and anti-LGBTQ!

Dead_or_Alive ,

And 99.99% of Palestine…

Dead_or_Alive ,

It also doesn’t justify supporting a people who are anti LGBTQ and anti-Semitic.

Dead_or_Alive ,

Do you not remember October?

Dead_or_Alive ,

Apparently you have no problem supporting bigotry, antisemitism and anti LGBTQ.

Dead_or_Alive ,

Yep you seem to have forgotten that.

Dead_or_Alive ,

So you support a society that would jail you for existing? You are against a free and fair society that would let you exist in peace?

Are you going to vote Trump next election to stick it to Biden for supporting Israel as well?

Good any protestors who support bigots don’t deserve a degree.

Dead_or_Alive ,

Let Israel finish the fight!

Dead_or_Alive ,

Sounds like you condone their social norms.

Dead_or_Alive ,

No homie, just a consistent application of morals. I’m not going to support bigots who would kill and persecute LGBTQ over people who are more inclusive.

You’re the one advocating for bigotry not me.

Dead_or_Alive ,

What do you think they would do to an openly gay man in Palestine?

Hint it’s rhymes with whale.

www.humandignitytrust.org./country-profile/palestine/

They would jail you in a New York minute. Is this a society you really wish to support?

Dead_or_Alive ,

More whataboutisms but you can’t even come up with a modern example? Are you going to start citing examples from the early 1800s next?

You are supporting a society that will jail you just for existing over a society that would let you exist in peace.

What’s next are you going to go full on and vote Trump just to stick it to Biden for supporting Israel?

Keep up that support! 👍

Dead_or_Alive ,

I hope somebody shows you the same mercy you have shown these people with that comment.

Dead_or_Alive ,

Cool, let me know how their tourism industry turns out after they finish.

I’m sure getting all of this press is worth it if they scare away the people of the richest nation in the western hemisphere that is closest geographically to their tiny islands.

I’m sure they can replace American tourists.

Dead_or_Alive ,

Same here, I try not to mix travel bags with bags I carry ammo and weapons in. Rounds and shells have a tendency of getting everywhere. I could totally see how this could happen to anyone who has guns and shoots regularly.

Dead_or_Alive ,

You decided to use a country that can’t even feed itself and is currently going through the worst economic crisis in it’s history as your example of a success because of a lack of American tourists… Riiigghhhtt

Lol, you’ve never gone shooting then and it shows. A case of ammo, I can understand but two rounds is nothing and should be a fine and on your way. They aren’t smuggling anything of real value.

I suspect we’ll see a lot more of these stories in the news. If you want to get rid of your SO it would be so easy to send them on a vacation to Grand Turk and drop a few rounds in their suitcase. Bye, Bye wifey for 18 years.

Dead_or_Alive ,

Lol, you picked the example using that big brain of yours bro. It’s amazing that you think an absolute failure of a state like Cuba is a shining example of how a Caribbean country survives without American tourists.

Dead_or_Alive ,

They can join whomever they want. If they want to partner with the second largest economy in the Northern Hemisphere which is a fraction of the size of the US in population go for it.

That strategy worked sooo well for Cuba. 😁

EU restates readiness to launch trade war with China over cheap imports (www.theguardian.com)

The European Commission chief said she was “convinced that if the competition is fair” from China, then Europe “will have thriving durable economies”. But she said the “imbalances” caused by state support for Chinese industry leading to cut-cost products threatened jobs in Europe, and that was “a matter of great...

Dead_or_Alive ,

Only that’s part of the story. China’s trade war with the US and their own domestic economic downturn has them looking for other markets to dump their excess goods (electric cars, etc.).

The EU is their only lifeline right now. If they get into a trade war the China will have nowhere to dump their goods except for Africa and South America. Those markets are not nearly as lucrative or built out.

Because if they have gone through puberty as a man the physical advantages of height, muscle mass, muscle density etc. conferred upon them because of testosterone and other male hormones do not fully diminish even years after those hormones are fully suppressed.

Declaring the NLRB unconstitutional works both ways.

Corporations have stacked the deck when it comes to the current rules and regulations surrounding Unions. Disbanding the NLRB gives corporations even more power, but Unions will also be unchained. The government is going to have a lot less say in how strikes are executed and how unions are formed. States that outlaw or attempt to clamp down on labor are going to see much more unionized political activism than they see now.

Uvalde parents lash out after new report clears city police of wrongdoing during 2022 school attack (apnews.com)

Since the last yellow drop of piss leaked out of the cowards who were at that school that day the city was always going to find that every single law enforcement officer onsite at the Uvalde massacre acted appropriately.

They are facing massive lawsuits and they will do nothing to give the opposing litigants any ammunition to use against them in court.

Abortion is bad for the fetus’s health. Perhaps we should tax it 1000%. While we are at it let’s tax Soda and Sugar. Fuck it lets tax cosmetic surgery, I mean it is such a waste and so risky.

If we are going to go down this road of controlling other people’s bodies let’s go all the way then.

Dead_or_Alive ,

Well I’m glad you are there to dictate what someone can and can’t do with their body. We only want people to engage in activities if they are state sanctioned.

Believe me Florida does not make it easy to be a teacher and Ron Desantis’s policies have a lot to do with this.

But the primary factor is pay. Teachers are laughably under paid in Fl. My sister has been teaching for 15 years makes little more than she did when she started. Most of the teachers my two older kids had in their elementary school have left for better paying careers. The number of teachers moving into the profession is not enough to compensate for retiring older teachers and the loss of teachers to other professions.

It’s simple supply and demand. Pay your fucking people and they will stay.

China is doomed for a number of other economic factors, deflation is just the symptom.

China’s housing crisis is the primary driver. The Chinese saw land as the primary means of savings and investment for the last twenty years. Much of the economy and state funding was driven by a demand for investment housing. Now that that has stalled many people’s savings have been wiped out.

Couple that with trade wars brought in by an aggressive foreign policy and it makes for a very challenged economic environment. China’s very centralized top down decision making process is great for directing growth but it struggles to address a number of issues at the same time to the point of paralysis.

China is facing an existential crises that is only starting to unfold.

Dead_or_Alive ,

No thank you, we do not need China dumping their goods in our markets. Just look at the EV dumping going on in the EU.

Decoupling is why you see massive deflation and unemployment in China and part of the reason why you don’t see it in the USA. Opening our markets to them would doom many of our industries and drive up unemployment for our youth.

Dead_or_Alive ,

No, the US does not love free trade. The current global economic environment where anyone can trade anywhere was established during the twilight of WW2 during a meeting at Bretton Woods.

Historically Imperial powers would occupy the vanquished, dismantle their adversaries economic systems and make them vassal states. They would then close their systems to outside trade and reap the rewards.

There were two problems with that for the US, first it would take a large military to do this (and we did not want to field those armies long term), second it meant we would probably have to fight the Russians directly as they would want to become an imperial occupying force (which they did) and would probably try to compete with us (which they did).

Instead we decided to bribe the Europeans into fighting the Russians for us. Hence the current global order where anyone, can trade anywhere for anything. We backstopped freedom of the seas with our fleet. Opened our markets to trade and provide financial assistance to help rebuild Europe. In exchange the European powers subjected their foreign policy to us and agreed to fight the Russians.

Europe, Japan and the rest of the Western world embraced this new economic system and it became foundational to their economies. To the US this was just a security deal, yeah we opened our economy but we never fully invested our economy in it. Which is why you don’t see many regional free trade deals passed beyond NAFTA after the end of the Cold War. We prefer to negotiate bilaterally with individual nations. We rarely ever open our markets without major concessions from the other side. We are also becoming more and more insular and are slowly pulling away from the global order we created because for us it was always just a security pact and we really don’t need it in a post Russian/USSR world. There is no popular support for NATO or any of the other institutions we created. Trump is a brainless Russian meat puppet but he knows how to read a room and the US electorate aren’t enthusiastic about staying connected to the rest of the world and subsidizing the costs maintained the current order.
