Imagine a girl you like putting a hand on your shoulder, looking into your eyes, saying some gentle word I don’t quite remember due to being mesmerized by those eyes, and you know what I did? I just looked back uneasily for a few seconds, then nervously took her hand off my shoulder, shook it a bit, released it and awkwardly smiled. (That even wasn’t her last attempt to make me happy against my best efforts ; ended bad anyway.)

There are many things further down the road to go wrong with attractive popular girls. 2 most catastrophic cases in my life are with those such as them.

Admittedly I’m the one who mainly failed them due to misunderstandings and passiveness, but when a girl (being all that popular) is used to boys being rather active and competitive and social, and then you are here just cause she happened to like your looks, this may end painfully, for you more than for her.

There are also cases from the post, only I may have noticed, just wouldn’t risk losing an existing good friendship for possible romance.

That’s not about just O, T and E etc really.

It’s about the average Westerner just loving to blabber about realpolitik and subjective interests on the subject of enabling richer and stronger cannibals against poorer and weaker humans.

And also about democratic countries having no immunity against foreign states buying their politicians and officials and the general population not really caring.

Jailing for life a few people who’ve been paid by Qatar, Azerbaijan, Russia, Israel etc would do wonders as an example to the rest.

Bombing their infrastructures when they start wars would also be nice. Most don’t have WMD. Not for the realpolitikers, of course, that would have negative strategic and economical effect, but if your goal is preserving democracy and civilization, then there are plenty of places to be bombed right now without dancing all the quadrilles.

Exactly.

I’d be using Gentoo if not for installing software being something you have to plan for.

In some sense this would even seem an advantage of Windows. (I know it’s the fundamental reason for many hangs and freezes, but the idea that a file is a lockable resource doesn’t seem that bad.)

You mean, Armenia chose to make Turkey part of NATO in 1952? Oops. That’s because you are an obvious lying piece of dirt. Get outta here.

I’m not talking about mobilization, FFS.

In the words of the IRA Israel only needs to miss once for Hamas to get an attack off

What happened is not “missing once”.

Further you just imagined something and heroically defeated the fruit of your imagination, I’ll leave you to it.

Ukraine supports Azerbaijan which is just the same. Now you haven’t missed that.

Eh, it’s harder than you may think. I know they have a working system in place, but for most countries something of that scale is a problem not at all because of their size.

I’m not talking just about mobilization, rather about them quickly mounting the news on the massacre to justify their impending ground operation, and that operation itself being prepared so fast, and a whole US fleet with an aircraft carrier going to support them.

Just seems like something prepared beforehand, and it’s politics and diplomacy, so that wouldn’t really be a conspiracy theory, again. Maybe the massacre itself was unexpected, but the operation was planned, and the schedule was simply adjusted a bit because of this event.

You’re also welcome to theorise whether or not Israel deliberately sought the deaths of 2000 citizens just to cleanse Gaza but that’s a massive claim for someone not privy to classified knowledge.

Whether it sought that or not, it was awfully unprepared for the attack itself, but amazingly well prepared for all the followup military, diplomatic and propaganda actions. So I’m starting to think this is not a conspiracy theory.

It’s like everyone is so afraid of being seen as a nazi

You got it backwards. It’s not that they are afraid, it’s that every Nazi thing you do becomes unimportant if you support Israel and yell “look, I’m not a Nazi, because I support Israel”.

That’s a huge, huge stimulus for support. Now if you’ve done Nazi things, Israel is your salvation. And if you haven’t done Nazi things cause you’re afraid, just get friendly with Israel.

They are basically selling modern day’s indulgences.

And Israel, of course, endorses that via its puppet diasporan organizations and their moves like “anything but Holocaust is not a genocide, and if you don’t agree, you’re a Nazi” or “you can’t be Nazi if you’re Jewish” and, of course, “if you don’t support Israel, you are not Jewish”.

The feel sad on different levels. For some kinds of sad billions of military aid are warranted, and for other kinds of sad thoughts and prayers, and there are even situations of “sad, but they had it coming”.

Strictly speaking, there are very few women in the combat units of the IDF.

But yes, you understood me correctly. I meant civilians.

Why do you keep posting nonsense? Anything about me anybody can judge for themselves from my comments. You look like a moron. Things don’t become your way just cause you say so.

It’s not about easy or hard, it’s about this not happening cause there’s no force to make it happen.

First, you wrote some incomprehensible bullshit, second, I’m part Jewish.

That terrorist attack has already happened, and there’s another terrorist attack underway, this time with cassette munitions and white phosphorus and in general very different capabilities, done by another side.

Of some bearded terrorist guy going to belly dance clubs in Cairo, surely.

The arrogance to think anybody would shy away from attacking “a UN taskforce”.

You know, PKs get killed all the time. UN employees get killed. Everybody gets killed.

You think it’s going to be different here? Or you are just ignorant of how this works cause it’s not interesting?

UN is not something which would enforce rules. It’s not built for that, it’s not a world government.
