Firing unguided rockets at population centers is not fighting back, it’s simply terrorism. These things have an accuracy measured in kilometers. No sane person would applaud this.

What’s your plan? How do you combat a terrorist organization that interprets any kind gesture, any attempt at normalization as weakness and uses it as pretext to attack? Should I remind you how Hamas has reacted to past concessions?
What’s this supposed to mean?
So if you’re wearing a bulletproof vest and somebody shoots at you and either misses or hits the vest, are you not allowed to shoot back? Are you supposed to just stand there and let the attacker continue until they succeed?
Keep in mind that every single Hamas rocket attack means a disruption of daily life, with people only having seconds to rush to shelter. It’s stressful and traumatic, to the point that a few months ago, a nine year old with a preexisting condition died from a heart attack that was caused by the fear and stress of being under attack:
There is nothing safe about it. All the Iron Dome can do is lower the risk, but it doesn’t eliminate it. It doesn’t eliminate every one of these unguided rockets and the debris still rains down.
The ironic thing is that for many years, this system saved more Palestinian than Israeli lives, since it allowed Israel to more or less eat these rockets instead of having to strike back every time. After Hamas used a rocket barrage as cover on October 7 - which they also used to murder people hiding in shelters that they had the terrorists knew the locations of - Israel cannot ignore these attacks anymore. The risk is too great now that it’s not “just” a rocket attack, that it’s part of a larger assault, perhaps a further escalation, e.g. with rockets that aren’t just filled with explosives, but perhaps with dangerous substances as well.
Just tell them you’re not drinking alcohol for health reasons. Nobody will really disagree with you on this.
It’s an unholy alliance of both, I’d argue.
Get one of those gamepad cradles with USB-C (but don’t cheap out on it).
They were warned repeatedly not to give Al Jazeera access to this footage, yet they refused. No army in the world wants live footage of their troops being broadcast - and especially not shared with a network that belongs to a hostile nation, one that directly supports Hamas and houses their leadership.
Al Jazeera is just as much an enemy of the free world as RT is. They are not press. Real journalists should distance themselves as much from this propaganda outlet as possible instead of working with them.
One of the most convincing tricks he pulled off was transporting two people from the stage to what looked like a believable beach. Totally fooled me (but I was a kid when I watched it).
Edit: I started to figure out that something was amiss soon after, because every single one of the supposedly “random” people he invited on stage to do his tricks with (usually by throwing plastic balls into the audience) wore incredibly “inoffensive” and poorly fitted clothes. At some point, I was able to spot which people he would end up picking from a mile away even before he had done so.
This user meant the price per kWh of battery capacity. The Tesla Roadster was little more than an expensive proof of concept that was vastly inferior compared to the Lotus Elise it was based on.
I have to wonder if people are serious with these absurd suggestions or what on Earth you are trying to achieve by writing this. This is about as realistic at demanding that America should build a second moon entirely out of cheese.
Which is why the EU is also starting to clamp down on this (finally).
Because it would meant hat the CCP would have to retreat out of this particular part of life and give up a method of control and oppression, which a totalitarian party could never do.
Personally, I can’t wait for the next mad dash for Moscow. Pudding got so close.
They’ve been going through a different period since the year of our Lord 862.
I have a suggestion for next year’s parade:
Correct, and it wasn’t even made in the Soviet Union:

That’s what tends to happen when you send a parade army into a war it was never meant to fight.
The “well-regulated militia” part afterwards isn’t vague, but gets ignored by self-proclaimed “originalists”.
The type of capitalism found in China is known as state capitalism and it’s an unholy blend of central planning and free markets, with the government owning significant stakes in all key industries, exerting a massive control over both the economy and society as a whole using all of the methods used by previous Communist autocracies, only this time with far more technology.
