Welcome hearty “welcome back” to dogfighting tactics!

That’s a nice jacket Kim’s got. Do you think it’s bespoke or an ‘international’ perk of being at the top of a closed society?

He might have to send a proxy. I seem to recall Israel declaring him persona non grata.

Isn’t it just the permanent members of the UNSC with veto power?

You and I know that. The Knesset clearly does not.

But they could call it a Y’all garnet!

Do you just have quotes like this in a rolodex?

I loved the book, but cannot pull quotes for the life of me.

I agree that the swap will be disproportionate, but Israel holds a hell of a lot more Palestinians than Hamas does.

They’ll probably get most of the remaining Israeli hostages out for ‘many’ Palestinians. If it occurs, I’m predicting more Palestinians individuals released, but a smaller percentage of overall prisoners.

So the plan is to pay mercenaries to deliver aid, instead of the many, many NGOs and aid orgs already champing at the bit to coordinate and deliver?

Or does Israel just wanna try changing it up by bombing PMCs this time?

My pessimism leads me to believe that the US wants this, and is using Israel to get it.

The Israelis seem a bit preoccupied.

Show me the finished blaster!

The Final Fantasy random encounter sting played and bam!

Very true, I’m certain those who go into war zones are aware of the dangers posed to them. Keeping conflict journalists out despite their knowledge of and willingness to brave those dangers is suspect.

Realistically, Israel could permit third party journalists and investigators back into the conflict zone.

If the goal was military casualties, they’d have been better served by having Hezbollah mobilize its insurgents, by maybe massing on the borders in a very obvious show of force, then firing off the pagers once the militants were grouped and away from civilian populations.

But then they’d be on the back foot because the survivors would be already massed and coordinating in person, which would hamper their actual invasion.

Probably not. No one credits Al-Qaeda’s ingenuity with using planes as ad-hoc cruise missiles.

I know a good number of North Koreans…

How do you know so many North Koreans?

People real upset about LGBTQ+ Catholics.

The group petitioning the Pope is not only not hurting people (either through dogma or otherwise), but are actively trying to make the world better by easing what are already rancorous divisions.

Let people have their harmless comforts while they can.

Was it hidden? Or just kinda forgotten because nobody’s been living there for a spell?

Welp. Better late than never, I guess.
