I think it superficially seems inclusive because the overwhelming majority, over 90%, of Chinese citizens are the same ethnicity of Han Chinese.

Ya but do they have electricity? Seems not.

Ironic considering after North Korea invaded the south in 1950, there were various pressures in US military command to employ atomic weapons and 34 were prepared, but ultimately the Americans exercised restraint.

What, does NK have some bizarre projection paranoia that SK will pour over the border like NK did?

Yep. Just look at Sarkozy.

Uhh…Israel was attacked by every single neighbor in both the Yom Kippur War and the Six Day War. Egypt, Jordan, Syria, Lebanon, and others with expeditionary forces too. What neighbors do you think are Israel’s allies exactly?

Don’t mix our precious Elmo with this clown! 😭

They had a dedicated intimacy coordinator for those scenes who worked with the actors to make sure they were comfortable with it

Oh I guess this is fake news

That’s like…a short drive. In a supply convoy going over rough terrain looking out for drones, maybe a couple hours.

Only slightly related: Why don’t Hamas fighters wear a colored rag to distinguish combatants?

Does Mahmoud Abbas not exist?

What you’re describing is a big hassle, and at the end of the day a confrontation and poor customer experience still happened making that customer think twice before flying again.

If the seats had more space like they used to a long time ago, nobody would care. I blame the airlines.

This premise is invalid. Hamas governed Gaza for the past fifteen years, not Israel. Palestinians held elections until they voted in Hamas, which put an end to that. Israel maintained a blockade, but Egypt also strictly controlled Gaza trade and passage at Rafah. Not being able to ship stuff from your ports sucks, but Hamas made no good faith efforts to really improve the security situation to enable easy trade through Egypt. Having significant external influence over a region doesn’t mean you are their government.

Well, Hamas kidnapped several hundred civilians from a music festival to use as hostages before Israel militarily invaded Gaza. Or is that fake news?

That’s…Hamas doctrine. They use civilians as human shields to avoid western attacks. Israel is notably different in their approach where they have basically decided to ignore human shield attempts in order to more effectively counter Hamas. Arguably, if it never works and Hamas fighters get killed anyway, Hamas might stop doing it because being amongst civilians means there are a lot of people who can inform on where Hamas militants are and what they’re doing. I suspect most civilians there support Hamas though, so it probably won’t change Hamas doctrine.

In Afghanistan by contrast, the US worked with various tribal elders who didn’t support al-Qaeda. This information allowed US forces to counter human shield tactics in those areas and fighters increasingly moved out to the remote regions so civilians couldn’t inform the US where they were.

You have to gain real power first before attempting to make big changes, especially if the people currently in power have power over YOU.

They’ll get bargaining chip if they can hold it. Russia will want Kursk back, and maybe give up their gains in the east in an eventual settlement. On the other hand, it could drum up more popular support for a wider draft.

No ransom demand? lol

“How much do you think these Russians are worth?”

“Probably nothing - do not press our luck, but see if they offer anything.”
