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.

Nothing new under the sun ... As we're taught in the book of Ecclesiasties.

Jerusalem is a Very Ancient city and the name predates the entry of the Hebrews into the land.

It was originally U ru sa lim ...generally taken to mean City of Salim or City of PEACE.

This has to be the greatest Historical Sarcasm of All Time for what's Likely the most blood drenched piece of real estate in the known Universe.

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

Basic info on the Glock Switch -

The quarter sized gizmos don't even need to be smuggled in -
With a 3D printer, they can be cranked out for about $20/copy.

Long story short - A $20 pocket sized gizmo converts one's Glock into the near-equivalent of a WWII German Schmeiser sub machine-gun.

Should the US again experience something like the '20 George Floyd riots -
We might expect an escalation by an order of magnitude.

Pleasant Dreams, Y'all.

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

I've noticed an unusually high number of local news reports of use of full.auto weapons in the past few months,.and heard a national news report a couple weeks ago of large numbers of the "Glock Switches" coming across the US Southern Border.

"Sal" & "Devil" was directed collectively at the comments of you & devilandangel.

Anyway ... Right you are regarding Not using the Other (not so) Secret Weapons ...

RE: Israel is being attacked at this time

Sal & Devil ...

It's been said the Jews in Israel possess a secret weapon ... The Have Nowhere Else To Go.

RE: Israel is being attacked at this time

Good info, Sal.

Biden vows "ironclad" support for Israel ...

It's understood, of course, that "ironcladiness" is contingent on polling of "River To The Sea" Mohammedans in swing states Michigan & Minnesota.

RE: Israel is being attacked at this time

I checked out the drone from the description in rob's comment.

It carries a 110 lb. bomb & splits the atmosphere at a scorching 115 mph.
That's 'bout the top speed of a fighter plane ... in WW ONE.

So israel is essentially dealing with Sopwith Camels carrying a bomb & guidance system.

It's classified as ... get this! ... a LOITERING WEAPON ... Yes! REALLY!!

Maybe Israel can arrest them for Vagrancy.

If the eats are egg salad & delivered to Israel ... by the time they get there, they'll wipe out the country with food poisoning

RE: Israel is being attacked at this time

Soleimani was martyred by US drone in Jan. '20.

RE: Israel is being attacked at this time

I searched news ... this was "breaking" FOURTEEN HOURS Ago & Israel expects the "hundreds" of drones to.take "several,hours" to arrive.

What the hell are they using for Drones ... Hot Air Balloons???

Seriously, y'all ... That ChiCom Spy Balloon that took Days to overfly the US was going faster.

RE: Because the glove didn't fit, they had to acquit...

Unless that retired police office is Mark.Furman ... How would he Actually Know anything about it?

He gave his Opinion ... He was No better qualified than anyone else to state the Facts of the matter.

Note that the condition can only be Positively diagnosed after death.
Perhaps we'll know more in a few weeks or so.

Perhaps the most Charitable take on OJ was that he played running back long before NFL concussion protocols were adopted, he'd likely suffered multiple undiagnosed concussions, and was mentally impaired

RE: It the culture dummy.

Sorry for the double post

RE: It the culture dummy.

Harriet Tubman -
Small, illiterate, black woman born into slavery.

Prior to Civil War- conductor on Underground Railroad.

During Civil War -
Cook, Nurse, Spy, Organized steamboat raid into the South that freed 700 slaves ...
Credited as 1st US Woman to lead a military operation.

It was thought that putting her on the $20 bill would piss off old white guys.

Turns out they're Remarkably OK with a gun toting, 2nd Amendment supporting, slave freeing, Democrat shooting, Republican Black Woman.

Probably explains Why neither Obama nor Ol' Joe have Actually Gotten her on the $20 bill.

Could be.
Book promotion would be a motivator for "hypothetically" confessing to a crime for which he couldn't be put in doubt jeopardy.
