Netanyahu knows that every time a child dies, Hamas gains sympathizers and people willing to join, and yet Israel keeps saying the eradication of Hamas is the only way to secure their nation. This is a forever war.

The man who got these shoes to Russia is Wijnand Herinckx, a 40-year-old Dutch citizen who lives in Moscow.

I hope the government of The Netherlands finds a way to rectify that at the very least.

I don't know, looks like that warning sign has been up for a while now.

Canadian warship sharing an anchorage with Russian vessels in Cuba ( www.cbc.ca )

The Royal Canadian Navy now finds itself in the unusual position of both shadowing Russian warships as a threat in the Caribbean and sharing an anchorage with them as a guest in the port of Havana — because Canada accepted an invitation to send a patrol ship to Cuba while the Russian navy is in town....

Eh. Russia is sabre rattling while protecting some of its fleet from Ukrainian attacks. A Canadian warship just sitting idly next to them in the same port is not exactly a good display of Russian strength.

@FlyingSquid@lemmy.world avatar

On top of that, Canada is not exactly the naval power of the U.S. or Britain or France or even Australia, but they're still clearly not especially intimidated by the so-called powerful Russian navy.

Hardly everyone. In fact, as far as I know, just the U.S.

I have British and Canadian relatives that have been to Cuban resorts.

Hidalgo, like a moron, gave a date when she would swim. Then they announced the shit in the Seine thing, so... she announced another date.

Macron won't announce a date. And I'm betting neither of them will ever get their toes wet anyway.

Considering the Nazis I've met over the years, I'd say most of them are barely bright enough to tie their shoes, let alone a tie.

In general, if you think your skin tone has something to do with your superiority, you're not all that bright.

but neo-nazi stuff it’s going up in the zone.

It's possible. There's plenty of Russians in Ukraine right now. I'm sure the huge amount of it in Russia spilled over.

eventually, after it worked for the most part and became less relevant

That's really the issue though. Would Biden have ended it otherwise? I'm going to hold my nose and vote for the guy, but I'm not so convinced he would have.

I'm not doing a "both parties are the same" thing, I'm saying there's a long history of the next president not ending what the previous president did even if they're from the opposite party and even though what was happening was simply immoral. If anything, Trump was more of an outlier there.

So I can't say I'm assured that the Biden administration would have ended it if it was still relevant.

Why? What harm does cocaine cause that's any worse than legal alcohol?

FlyingSquid Mod ,
@FlyingSquid@lemmy.world avatar

I don't know of any studies, but I would suggest that even when cocaine was legal in the 19th century in much of Europe and the U.S., people were talking about the evils of alcohol a lot more. The massive temperance movements were mostly about alcohol, not drugs like cocaine.

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Temperance_movement

That implies, to me, that alcohol has always been a bigger problem.

@FlyingSquid@lemmy.world avatar

In that case, it's weird that you're telling that to me and not the Trump person who replied to me who suggested the opposite.

Shouldn't you be replying to them?

Here, I'll help: https://lemmy.world/comment/10631441

Let me know when you've replied to them about it. (I won't be holding my breath.)

FlyingSquid ,
@FlyingSquid@lemmy.world avatar

I see you have not responded to them about how Trump is not friendly toward the Second Amendment. Looks like I was correct to not have held my breath.

@FlyingSquid@lemmy.world avatar

Maybe you should make sure they're aware of it just in case you're reading it wrong.

I doubt you will though. Please, do prove me incorrect on that.

So when are you going to start shooting?

Okay, this was my original comment:

Because of a 1903 lease agreement with no end date which the post-revolutionary government has not gone back on so far. They protest it, but they have yet to actually say the terms have changed. And they also have a backlog of U.S. money waiting for them when they wish to renegotiate. Don’t underestimate the PR boost having a U.S. naval base on Cuban soil gives to the Cuban government the same way having North Korea and South Korea share a border is good propaganda for both countries.

https://lemmy.world/comment/10620270

Now- are you saying a U.S. naval base at the ass-end of Cuba is the same as human enslavement?

Are you going to continue to troll and violate civility rules or are you going to answer my question?

I'm not asking about Castro, I'm asking about you: are you saying a U.S. naval base at the ass-end of Cuba is the same as human enslavement?

It's a yes or no question and you can't seem to answer. Are you trolling?

I never had a bagel on my trips to Britain but, at least when my dad was growing up in the 30s and 40s (and an adult there in the 50s), he said British bagels tasted somewhat different from American ones and had a very different texture.

Thinking there is a genocide because of stupidity is not the same as an actual genocide. Which is what is going on.

People claim abortion is genocide too. It is also not genocide. Just because you claim something is genocide, it doesn't mean it is. Experts tend to have to weigh in. And they have in the case of Gaza and have determined it is a genocide.

https://www.un.org/unispal/document/anatomy-of-a-genocide-report-of-the-special-rapporteur-on-the-situation-of-human-rights-in-the-palestinian-territory-occupied-since-1967-to-human-rights-council-advance-unedited-version-a-hrc-55/

So maybe don't conflate the two, unless you are one of those kooks who believe COVID was a genocide, something not a single expert believes.

So... was COVID a genocide? Do you think those stupid unJesusy scientifimagicians are wrong and the Queen of Canada is right or is this a totally different situation?

Sorry, I am not going to continue this discussion if you insinuate that is the kind of moderator I am.

I also highly encourage you to report me to lemmy.world admins if you think I would delete all of your comments for any reason that didn't violate community rules, because that would be beyond the pale of any moderator.

After all, I'm sure you have some basis for making such an accusation, right?

FlyingSquid Mod ,
@FlyingSquid@lemmy.world avatar

"After all, I’m sure you have some basis for making such an accusation, right?"

I guess the answer to this question is that no, you just made it up, presumably for sympathy.

FlyingSquid Mod ,
@FlyingSquid@lemmy.world avatar

You are free to end this discussion whenever you like, but your attempt to goad me into doing something like deleting all of your comments is not going to work.

Again, if you feel that I am doing such things as a moderator, by all means contact the lemmy.world admin about it because it would be absolutely unacceptable for a moderator to behave that way.

I will be very surprised if you actually put your money where your mouth is and don't reply again.

FlyingSquid Mod ,
@FlyingSquid@lemmy.world avatar

And all I want is evidence that as a moderator that I would delete all of your comments for disagreeing with you.

See... the problem here is you claim you just want sources but then you tell a lie like that. So what's the point in providing you with any sources when I already know you lie about me?

If I did provide you with a source, you'd lie and say I didn't.

FlyingSquid Mod ,
@FlyingSquid@lemmy.world avatar

I gave you a warning that I would delete your comments for misinformation. You supported them so I did not delete them. I said as much at the time, so I'm not why you're engaging in this fantasy.

We will see if your 'this will be my last comment' claim will be true.
