I enjoyed the film. I did not get the sense of "**** we're two hours in and the final act hasn't opened yet" which I got with Nolan's Batman films and other self-serious kino. This is up there with...

I enjoyed the film. I did not get the sense of "**** we're two hours in and the final act hasn't opened yet" which I got with Nolan's Batman films and other self-serious kino. This is up there with...
Well apparently Paris is about to fall, two weeks tops. France is already out of troops (not to mention Russias massive superiority in antigravity tanks, rail guns and photon toroedoes) and it's...
The propaganda machine is sputtering a little. Young people marry into the royal family to be served up like sashimi to the press one slice at a time.
This poor princess isn't fit to face the...
Two years into the three day operation. Russia victory is still inevitable, as Ukraine teeters on the brink of defeat. Apparently they are the teetering world champs.
Putin threatens anyone who...
Well after all, Russia has killed 500,000 Ukrainians, including 1,000,000 Waffen SS, 3 Prigozhins, Poland, the entire SAS, Unit 731 and cyborg Hitler, so its likely they incurred some losses?
The...
Yes Hamas has successfully manufactured the massacre that was their aim all along. The Ayatollahs must be laughing right now.
Its a sign of Netanyahu's unfitness to rule that he has fallen for...
The Gospels respond separately to a variety of inputs. I'm sure some respond to Dionysian and other mystery cults, others to more direct criticism from other Jews and Greek coverts to Judaism and...
Yes thats my view.
Russia won in 2014. They've decided to rerun the war, and there's no way the Ukrainians win this. They're allowed to fight.
US support for Ukraine is cost effective, it...
Well Ukraine has done pretty well resisting Putin this long.
I guess Putin's burner accounts have waited to celebrate for two years, can they wait a little longer? It'd be devastating if they...
Poor Navalny has been murdered. It occurs to me this is an indication Putin is feeling pinch, removing an obvious alternative.
Looks like the corporations own the government, and you can't get in the way of profits.
It's the same in my country, the coal lobby owns several parties and anyone touching their profits gets...
Dunno about them becoming president but otherwise I think you're right. The 'health issue" isn't his prostate AFAIK and treatment has begun immediately so its at least serious if not critical.
I...
It's false to equate Hamas, an avowed genocidal terror group, with a functioning state.
Normalizing Israeli actions? I'm trying to put them in perspective. The people who let Hamas take power let...
Israel isn't positioning its leadership in tunnels under hospitals, or using civilian populations as human shields in the way the criminal Hamas dogs are.
Israeli forces have committed offences...
Not surprised at all, its the sort of exotic "barbaric" detail he loves but given how weird it is no doubt travelers (or even Skythians he might have met in Athens and elsewhere) would mention it.
...
Very sad to see Hamas seem to have infiltrated UNWRA I guess to steal resources from deserving Palestinians and use them for Iran's war on Israel.
Not happy with Israel's tactics like killing...
Have to agree. Filthy Hamas are the proverbial scorpion envenoming every frog in the pond, they have to go.
Palestine has to be made strong enough it can do basic things like run a state without...
Yes Russias position can't be sugar coated. The twin tracks of "it's immoral to help Ukraine because they are suffering" and Russia stronk" are the plainest gibberish.
It remains morally and...
Thx again, very clear what Ukraine is up against here.
Your earlier point about Japanese aid makes it very clear there's a broad consensus Russia has gone rogue and disparate powers have a shared...
You're not supposed to answer rhetorical questions! Just nod and puff on a pipe.
I still take the view it's all a bloody shame, and peace, even a dishonorable peace is worth the price. That was...
Big if true.
What would really have stopped the attacks is if Hamas weren't evil terrorists.
I think Hamas has scored a win here. They successfully murdered, raped and abducted people, and...
So this thread has mutated from trolling trans people to defensive breast beating. Have we had a "Tommy Robinson is innocent" video yet?
Twitter and other on line media has been slowly regulated...
I mean some Tuaregs are very dark skinned, so he could play a southern desert ally/merc?
Remi Malek might make a good Hannibal. Noth African with some ultimately Fertile Crescent ancestry. Plenty...
Musk makes noises sometimes at random, and sometimes to manipulate stock prices. Not a scientist or an academic AFAIK (Wiki says he has a BA in physics and a BSC in Econ, which is...weird) but he...
We have a similar atmosphere in the national capital. Lots of young people working for their heroes get screwed. Not many children though.
Had a mate who worked in Canberra, she e had an affair...
You're surely not saying Israel created Hamas? This can't be right, and even if it were true it doesn't justify Hamas attacks, or serve as any kind of protection from retribution.
I'm not whining...
Fair enough, I suppose Prigozhin was being paid to fight and wanted publicity, so he advocated a publicized attack.
Surovkin does seem to have followed some classic Russian principles, assemble...
Hamas owes its existence to funding from non Palestinian polities and religious zealots. They murdered their way to power and sacked all the doctors who didn't join their party. They steal from...
I think he's saying "Israel can defend itself from attack, and try to rescue hostages".
I don't think you can support Palestine by making stuff up about Israel. Its disgusting when pro Israeli or...
Alright I am not obfuscating anything, and I'm glad you now concede Israel isn't lying when it states the obvious that Hamas are terrorists seeking the deaths of Israelis and Palestinians. You can...
The English have a saying "cheap if you can afford it, expensive if you can't". They apply this socially, ie rich people get access to cheap stuff coz they are rich, but I guess it works with...
Sorry this isn't right mate. Hamas' entire game here is for as many people to die as possible, as horribly as possible. They murdered tortured and kidnapped men women and children in Israel to...
So there's a floor on elected officials' behaviour at last? Been a pretty deep dive recently. Maybe they can get Gaetz next.
Another spider in the bottle has been bitten. Comrade Sviridov, rest in peace.

I don't think there's...
...so they didn't recognise Israel.
Israeli leaders forced Palestinians out of their homes, this is a grave historic injustice best addressed by giving Palestine a strong government not Hamas....
Yes there's lies about Palestine, we have them here too.
I have Palestinian relatives by marriage. I am glad they are safe here in Australia.
My country can't take 2 million refugees, there's...
Mate you just posted Israel isn't attacking Hamas and suggested they could attack Hamas without hitting the human shields.
It's a hurtful subject, our Israeli friends are there. You and I are safe...
Israel is the product of a colonising effort into a former British and Ottoman province. It passes the tests of being a legitimate state because the UN made it so (de jure) and it works (de facto). I...
Her made the point Hamas explicitly seeks to exterminate "ze Jews". Other anti-Jewish (and this is not anti-Israel, its explicitly anti-Jewish, let's be quite clear) groups are irrelevant to his...
I was a bit unclear, I meant "monkeys in charge". Commanders with an ounce of initiative seem to end up retiring and/or catching fire.
Surovkins defences are operating as you'd expect, using...
