  1. Twitter rots brains. The OSINT genre in particular.
  2. I understand that unless they are funded by Raytheon, they are suspect to you.
  3. If I had a dollar for every time one of you sought to frame your words as my own, tell me what I think, or just simply repeated questions that were asked and addressed like seven pages earlier while acting like they remain unfulfilled, I could retire early. Back in reality world both your children and mine have been raised in world where the US has been engaged in war for the entirety of their lives. Maybe you don't favor the reality, but that doesn't change the reality. And it's hard to connect the dots between your rhetoric and aspirations and reality when you stand behind all of those wars in real time during the run up and the barking sounds a lot like warmongers like john bolton.
  4. Yes, I totally agree. They have a highly functional and sophisticated arms industry (admittedly built with our subsidizing). All the more reason to stop sending them more American taxpayer funded shit. 1- How to fix the animosity on both sides? Holy fuck if this is our responsibility to fix. I tell you that whatever we are doing right now certainly is not helping. Stop arming them to kill each other though may be a good start. 2- What to do about the hardlines? Stop sending them money and weapons. 3- How to integrate? Take a firm and unwavering stand against apartheid. 4- Settlements? Maybe for one stop cock blocking every security council resolution on the matter and conditioning all further aid packages on winding them down and returning to a lawful posture. We have very limited ability to control the actions of either Israel or the Palestinians. We only control ourselves. And with that of course, we control the flow of American guns and money. So that imo is where we should start.
  5. First, the things that we actually have direct control over. Stop just free dumping military arms and money into the region.
  6. I understand that you are going to fall in opposition to their goal to "promote ideas that move U.S. foreign policy away from endless war, toward military restraint and diplomacy in the pursuit of international peace". But it is certainly overrepresented among the posters of this board, and particularly posters like brisket, that such positions are considered indefensible.
  7. American leadership working towards a two-state solution on display.
  8. My positions are generally aligned with the majority of Americans. As posted earlier.
  9. It's been discussed a few pages back, with the same posters. I am sure that you missed the exchange. Accidently I'm sure. Prior posts below. If you want full context you can start at page 185 or so.
  10. Sorry I guess for directly responding to the specific charge and in the same terms that it was made. Oh, and below still suits.
  11. Not enough Brits or Australians on the playground to generate a full blown western media outrage.
  12. It’s a refugee camp in central Gaza. CNN has a blurb on it but it’s been reported in AJ more extensively. Video of the aftermath is out there, but you can only watch so many videos of parents weeping while they cradle their dead child before they all start to run together.
  13. Crazy thought here, but maybe we stop using US taxpayer dollars to support off-shored risky virus research through funding cutouts without adequate audit procedures and controls in place. This is like crazy world that these things are obvious.
  14. lol. What a bunch of clowns. “Ana openly roots for Russia since this thing started” ”You won’t find a single post where I have openly rooted for Russia” ”aha, he admits that he secretly roots for Russia. Got ‘em.” You guys actually make John Bolton look compelling in comparison.
  15. You won’t find a single post where I have been openly rooting for Russia. Some of you get very confused when someone is critical of American foreign policy, historical context, and has the capability to pull together an attention span longer than my dog.
  16. All that tells me is that you have a poor grasp of both the content of my posts and history.
  17. This thread is a lot more entertaining when you read most of the posts in a John Bolton voice.
  18. We don't need nun of dem damn liberal explanations, we just need moar c130s full of the booms booms delivered to Tel Aviv. These are apparently core conservative values. Reckless spending of American taxpayer dollars to facilitate war crimes and humanitarian catastrophes committed by foreign nations that will thumb their fn nose at us and laugh at the dumbasses talking about the American rules-based order.
  19. Please consider an alternative perspective of the "disengagement" in 2005. Video and short thread. Full video is also linked in a subsequent post.
  20. Why would individual run quicker than trust, esp if that trust already has recently approved NFA items? And apparently if I die the transfers run faster.
  21. That's very light, but well sold, and Dunn didn't do herself any favors trying to recover.
