Aurubin posted:The Saudis can't win a war in Yemen much less Lebanon, or are they just going to covertly back the Israelis? That war stalemated too, and that was before an entire generation of Israeli soldiers first combat experience was preteens with rocks. as i and probaly others have said. why should the saudie royal family care. its just conscripts and client state soldiers dying. worse comes to worse some of their bastards and seventh born sons die when they order a charge into a minefield. Squalid posted:Well for reference one of the Princes just arrested, Alwaleed bin Talal, once called a Forbes Magazine editor in tears to complain that they were underreporting how rich he was on their annual billionaires list. so whats the chances of him already being dead in some black site somewhere. because i feel like most of the people arrested are either already dead or about to be, maybe after some weird show trial.

when they held this event last year, it was just a small little blip of freedom and self actualization in the mess that is modern Libya. Pretty sad to see how little freedom the people of Libya have wound up with.

mediadave posted:Inevitable outcome inevitably happens: genuinly sad. Irans goverment is loving terrible but there was chance of future reform/hell maybe populist overthrow if we let the country open up and etc. Now trump has made the same mistake the Iraqis made in the 80s and the Persians have rallied around the flag and to their homeland and now a hardliner will be in power. good times ahead indeed. Duckbox posted:I'm also conflicted, but I think giving people the option to put the guns down and go home is important because you can never kill them all and you don't know how many innocents will die if you try. Ideally, you'd want to make sure they won't pick up arms again, but it's hard to be sure of anything in a war zone. apparently alot of them had suicide vests on including the kids. so who knows.

Al-Saqr posted:Yes it is wrong. nobody in any sector of society should be subjected to any kind of jackbooted thugs, especially jackbooted thugs who are also rapists and anti-semites and mass murderers like the dogs of the Egyptian regime. if america gets to have it's fair share of kooks and crazies who go about their business making peoples lives miserable in a free and open society, then other people from around the world should as well. This guy deserves to be fined and punished for what he's done and said, but to actively cheer on people who dont give two shits about any kind of humanity just because they've decided to target conservatives you dont like is not a good attitude to have. i know. i am sorry. i know its facism and Al zawahiri is symptom/product of it. i didnt mean to defend sisi or his facist shithead rape regime. i just want to see some loving punishments for assholes for once. i guess Martin Niemöller really was right. if facism happens to people you hate, you don't mind it. sorry i was an rear end.

Sinteres posted:The impression I've been getting from twitter and my memory of the crackdown last time is that the difference this time is that the protests aren't concentrated in the major cities, where the regime is most prepared to crack skulls. Last time the rural/urban divide was a big thing, but if even rural Iranians are turning maybe that makes a difference. That's not to say the regime won't find a way to suppress it anyway though. who knows. i am sure its hosed, but it would be great to see the ayatollah and his inbred illiterate followers thrown from power. i feel like its gonna happen at some point. there are way to many young people.

Al-Saqr posted:If you fight for assad you dont deserve any sympathy. Period. I dont give a poo poo, it's either freedom or fascism, they chose fascism, gassing children and mass killing and mass torture. they dont deserve any kindness or consideration. Nobody gives a rats rear end about the widows of Nazi's or the people who died fighting for them due to circumstance. I'm super glad that some of them get suffer and die the way the same way they gladly killed and gassed the Syrian opposition for defying their fascist regime. Sorry if you're willing to give them the kindness they would never show other human beings who committed the crime of not letting themselves remain under a torture fascism regime. this. i am sure its more complicated. but the assads should die and their men should be hunted down and shot like the dogs that they are. these fucks were pefectly fine gassing kids to death, not to mention the death camps and the windspread torture. they know what they joined. instead its probaly gonna be war between the fascist Assad and grand sultan erdogan with tons of gassing and massacres on each side while trump sits in his office and fingers his rear end in a top hat to thoughts of his daughter. speaking of monsters. https://twitter.com/rickgladstone/status/955952120209035274 why the gently caress are we defending these assholes. i mean for gently caress sake, we are already a lovely imperial power, why not just go full Britannia and purge this poo poo from Afghanistan. or better yet, just loving leave and let them get slaughter by salafist assholes.

Sinteres posted:Can't help thinking they should try to force the issue by telling European countries they're going to start trials and executions if they don't take their citizens back. I'm not a supporter of the death penalty, but if people leave their comfortable European life behind to work for a genocidal terrorist group, I won't have a lot of sympathy for them if they do get killed. Some former ISIS members will probably have to be reconciled eventually in Iraq and Syria, but I don't think it should be Syrians' job to babysit the people who showed up from elsewhere to destroy their country. pretty much, this is an idiot monsters who was fine with raping and executing people but now like the bully shithead he is, he is scared of the consequences but he has no remorse. if the kurds shoot this dude in some field somewhere the world will be a better place. if the west washes their hands of him and others, they have no right to bitch.
