Orange Devil posted:How does your monarchism square with the Arab monarchies by the way? On the one hand, The Hashemites, Custodianship over Holy Sites and, their role in the Pentarchy, "The Patriarchate calls upon the international community to intervene immediately to provide security and protection to the Christians of Jerusalem and to support the Hashemite Custodianship and its protection of the Jerusalem Holy Sites, including the Church of the Holy Sepulchre, which are being subjected to deplorable forms of violations and attacks at the hands of radical Israeli organisations." Historically, Arab kingship is related to our own, like the Armenians and Ethiopians, because Abgar V of Osroene, of the Nabataean Arab Abgarid dynasty, was one of the first Christian kings. It was an Arab queen, Mavia, who installed Saint Moses as first Bishop amongst the Arabs. So, as far as the sanctity of kingship, I think they have a good case. Arabs generally got along with Christians better than Kurds and Turks did, and (from what I know) were generally fair in their dealings with Christian subjects. In more secular affairs, of course, their partnership with Lawrence and Allenby, then Glubb are some of the finest chapters in our shared history. Though, I'm not sure how that relates to our relationship with the Agas Khan, who saved Nott in Afghanistan. Ideally, they'd be complementary. On the other hand, other than the Hashemites, I don't know much about the current monarchies. I get the impression I wouldn't think much of them. The Banu Hashim, generally, seem to be worthy of their office. The Al Saud, not so much. The Muhammad Alis in Egypt were Albanian, and were apparently well thought of... I don't want to endorse whatever happened with their installation without knowing too much about it, other than Kitchener's victory at Omdurman and Sir Garnet's at Tell El Kebir.   They were against us at Tell El Kebir, but with us at Omdurman, so Egyptian monarchy is a land of contrasts, I suppose. I suppose I'll defer to Al Saqr on this.

Regarde Aduck posted:what happened to cause it to be like this?

Generally indian integration has been successful enough that the middle class which would be a base for regional secession is now pan indian enough that their reactionary behavior is religion based. It doesn't help that our previous socialist government was pro palestinian so now the average youtuber nationalist has internalized how israel is good. A deeply stupid culture that should be made fun of. The only time recently pakistanis have been getting Ws has been clowning on indians like that. The map thing posted 20 pages ago was the funniest example I can think of. A lot of indian troll support for Israel is unconditional so the israelis will piss on them because they are so offputting.

Sadistic Hamster posted:Do you have an article that details what happened to Mr. Corbyn in its entirety? I would like to read about what happened to him from an unbiased source. I don't know that such a thing exists. It was a media driven gutting, Corbyn had no allies. He acted in good faith thinking his wide popular support, authentic personality, gravitas, and the fact he'd delivered historic gains in seats for Labor between 2015 and 2019 would make people have some perspective on the matter. I'm pretty naive about the UK Parliament ins and outs, but there seem to be a dozen Sinema's and Manchin's in the Labour MP field. A number of them changed parties to lib-dem soc-dem etc parties that had stated they'd refuse to do a coalition gov't so long as Corbyn was the labour candidate. Others went to press to regurgitate their 'suspicions' of antisemitism. They kicked one labour MP out over it as an example, but mostly they ran headlines week after week about how Corbyn was doing socials with holocaust deniers and hugging Muslims until he narrowly lost to Boris effing Johnson in a gimme election where Brexit was a disaster, May underwhelming, and Corbyn broadly popular. Labour could of defended him in any number of ways to close the miniscule margin he lost by, but that'd mean he'd be calling the shots about I/P right now. A number of Israeli orgnizations applied pressure to the Labour party to adopt language to make speech about Israel hate speech. They succeeded, and got Jeremy Corbyn to make the 2019 election about apologizing to British Jews for criticizing Israel. Every podium he got up on, someone had a question lined up. And when the rhetoric didn't destroy him on it's own, there was the internal party effort to lose on his behalf. https://novaramedia.com/2020/04/12/its-going-to-be-a-long-night-how-members-of-labours-senior-management-campaigned-to-lose/

Dual Loyalty is an antisemitic trope, but also organizations from Israel will lobby to have definitions of antisemitism changed and will throw money around to influence the political process.

I'm not entirely sure how and why that is though, if she moved to and grew up in Israel or if she just went there for spec ops training as part of some kind of Unatco exchange program. The Deus Ex Wiki says she was a former Israeli Commando but again, no idea if there's more info on that anywhere.

Here's a list of previous Israeli attacks on Iran I found illuminating. Highlights their capabilities. Notably no strikes from manned aircraft. https://iranprimer.usip.org/blog/2022/aug/11/timeline-israeli-attacks-iran On that subject, the IDF has their own fleet of tanker aircraft so I don't see why they would have to rely on American refuelling.

Weka posted:Here's a list of previous Israeli attacks on Iran I found illuminating. Highlights their capabilities. Notably no strikes from manned aircraft. Because, if you read the report, Israeli tanking capabilities aren't up to the task of a major strike on Iran. You could probably crunch the bomb load required on an F-15 for a strike against a nuclear facility, we know Israel has preferred the GBU-31(V)1/B, 2000lb JDAM of late. So, how many JDAMs on how many aircraft, how that impacts performance and range, and then how much tanking they'd need. I would wager that it's more than Israeli tankers could provide, and as the report states, refuelling would need to open over Iraq and Jordan, and the political implications for either country of letting Israeli tankers use their air space like that are pretty dire.

All these analyses of potential Israeli strikes on Iranian nuclear facilities seem to be assuming that the Iranians can't do anything to stop them? I mean, does Iran not assume that their nuclear sites might be targets, and have defensive capabilities in place around them? What am I missing?
