Private Cumshoe posted:so if they get him across the border to israel what is that like the last one they need to trigger the end times or what's the draw here There's probably a wealthy guy in Israel who needs an Afghan Jew to complete his collection (actually the wealthy guy is really invested in getting Zebulon to divorce his wife for some reason). sullat has issued a correction as of 19:45 on Nov 20, 2021 |

News to me that Zebulon appareantly granted her wife a divorce via zoom in august this year. hosed up though that orthodox law prevented her from getting a divorce under such circumstances.

The feds are going to gradually escalate the former two and surrender on the latter after our demigod, Donald Trump, retakes the throne. Or before, just to be bipartisan.

hobbesmaster posted:why did the US even give up the Philippines after wwii, we kept guam and samoa for some reason The US had committed to US independence in the mid-1930s. There was a set 10 year transition period. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Tydings%E2%80%93McDuffie_Act And there was legislation dating back to 1916 stating that the US was committed to granting eventual independence to the Phillippines. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Constitution_of_the_Philippines#Acts_of_the_United_States_Congress quote:The American public tended to view America's presence in the Philippines as unremunerative and expensive, so Roosevelt had concluded by 1907, "We shall have to be prepared for giving the islands independence of a more or less complete type much sooner than I think advisable." I didn't know much about this chapter of American history, so thank you for bringing it up.

The gist I remember from high school is "the US tried to be a european imperial power with the spanish-american war but was never very good at it so gave up after getting some very unfortunate court decisions called the insular cases. also something about bird poop islands"

I wonder if they really have a substantially greater ability to enforce this kind of thing in tribal (?) areas than the former Kabul government.
