RE: Israel is being attacked at this time

I'd say it's impossible because Hamas would slaughter those engaged in the revolt.

Titanic Carried Salad Dressing Bound For Mexico - Mexico Annually Commemorate The Loss

A bad joke repeated Every Year ...

Lincoln was shot the night of April 14 ... Died April 15
Titanic hit the iceberg the night of April 14 ... Sunk April 15

US taxes are due April 15.

The IRS has a Really Sick Warped sense of humor ...

RE: Israel is being attacked at this time

I was referring to this comment by you Grand.

I think a revolt inside the strip could come in very handy here.
If that is impossible cos the citizens of Gaza is too afraid

"China is deliberately allowing the export of devices that turn handguns into machine pistols

Daphne -

The Glock Switch was patented in the 1990s and intended for use by military organizations.

Bad actors (e.g. ChiComs) producing the gizmos for nefarious purposes and 3D printing changed that.

As you imply ... There's no putting the genie back in the bottle ...

RE: Israel is being attacked at this time

My reference was a Bible Dictionary, the authors of which likely knew Less of the subject that you
And almost Certainly did Not speak Hebrew.

I graciously concede the point ...

RE: Israel is being attacked at this time

Me, knowing the Hebrew language, and Israel, the name „Jerusalem“, in Hebrew „Yerushalaim“
„a’im“ means something double like 2 hills. The word „Yerusha“ in Hebrew means heritage or inheritance or wealth
BUT, the word „Yerushalaim“ is older than Hebrew and certainly older than the Arabic language.
Yes the Jews were in Jerusalem then, long before they invented their own language (Hebrew, Ivrit) which is 100 years younger then Armenian language.

"China is deliberately allowing the export of devices that turn handguns into machine pistols

The author of the book cited in the OP raises the issue of the ChiComs producing Glock Switches to create violence in US streets.

Your beef should be directed at said Author.

I'll not respond to comments intended to this blog down stupid rabbit holes.

Not talking aboit fighting, but cinvincing around the dinner tables.
There must still be some mothers and elders that can try talk some strict words to their young men, sons and nephews.

I wish you the best of luck in your search, cs can work actually.
Get them on video talk early on to save time.

RE: "China is deliberately allowing the export of devices that turn handguns into machine pistols

Your bias against China is shining through your post, why find them guilty rather than the actual gun manufacturers?

Anyone with a 3D printer can produce the gadget, hence the large amount being found. I found the printing details on a US 3D printing website, how many do you want?

100 gets 3% discount plus shipping.

"China is deliberately allowing the export of devices that turn handguns into machine pistols

Note that law enforcement is seeing a surge in the full auto weapons.

It may be presumed the "$20 Glock to Uzi" conversion gizmos are being procured by nuts who should Not be behind a trigger.

As per firepower- More enables More bullets in Less time.

A muzzle loader vs machine gun being an Extreme (and Obvious) example.

"China is deliberately allowing the export of devices that turn handguns into machine pistols

1 ... Simple, yes ... Realistic, MUCH Less So.:

2 ... Agreed ... The most dangerous part of Any gun is the nut behind the trigger.

RE: Israel is being attacked at this time

I heard it reported on news - Should've looked before posting.

"Russia is producing about 250,000 artillery munitions per month, or about 3 million a year, according to NATO intelligence estimates of Russian defense production shared with CNN, as well as sources familiar with Western efforts to arm Ukraine. Collectively, the US and Europe have the capacity to generate only about 1.2 million munitions annually to send to Kyiv, a senior European intelligence official told CNN."

Note that the 3 - 1 Russian advantage includes production of ALL Ukraine's European Allies And the US

It's still a war of attrition and Russia Will Win.... like I said - Simple Numbers

RE: Titanic Carried Salad Dressing Bound For Mexico - Mexico Annually Commemorate The Loss

The video worked fine for me

RE: Israel is being attacked at this time

Where did you get the info that Russia produces 30,000 shells/day?

RE: God Himself Could Not Sink This Ship

Titanic had two sister ships ... Olympic and Britannic.Prior to Titanic, 9lympic had collided with a RN Ship .... was damaged but didn't sink.
Britannic was used was used as a troop ship in WWI and was sunk by a German U-boat

Violet Jessup worked as a maid on Olympic and Titanic and served as a nurse on Brittanic.
She survived all three incidents and worked at sea her whole life.

By the 1950s she was retired.
She received a mysterious phone call...
A voice asked if she'd been given a baby as her lifeboat was lowered from Titanic.
Violet confirmed she'd been given a baby.
The voice said, "I'm that baby." ... and hung up.

RE: God Himself Could Not Sink This Ship

I was in the Palm Beach airport last year and saw an advertisement/display for The Titanic Artifact Exhibition. Checking tonight, I see today was the last day of the exhibition.
So much for perfect timing...

RE: Israel is being attacked at this time

Ukraine is War done the old fashioned Russian way ... attrition...
And little regard for human life - Ukraine Or Russian.

WWII ...
Hitler will run out of bullets before I run out of Red Army.
Joe Stalin

Ukraine has become an rtillery duel and Russia Will Win.

It's simple numbers ...
The US/West can vote money and be damned.

The US produces30,000 artillery shells/month
Russia produces 30,000 shells/DAY.

Like I said ...Simple Numbers.

RE: "China is deliberately allowing the export of devices that turn handguns into machine pistols

Simple solution, just get rid of all guns in the US.

Weapon aficionados say that guns are not dangerous, regardless of how many bullets they can fire, it is the person using the weapon that is dangerous.

RE: Israel is being attacked at this time

According to the Shortest War Is Best (or Less Bad) line of thinking ...
It may be argued that providing "Humanitarian Aid" or calling for "Humanitarian Cease Fire" will prolong the war and could be regarded as an Atrocity, War Crime or Crime Against Humanity.

RE: Israel is being attacked at this time

By one line of reasoning ...
The Best (read: Most Humane) War is the Shortest War.

That means inflicting as much destruction, misery, suffering, and death by All means possible as quickly as possible.

This was expounded 8n the US Civil War by Confederate Stonewall Jackson -
And practiced by Union William Tecumseh Sherman.

"War is cruelty and cannot be refined."
Wm. T. Sherman

He later shortened it to "War is hell."

This approach may have become less Practital since the introduction of thermonuclear warfare.

Since WWII the US has become the Grand Master of INhumane War ...
Doing only enough to prolong the suffering, misery and dying for Decades.

I'm aware that some of Y'all 's results will vary.
