@Blain_Crain If Penn St wins hard to see IU getting in. With ND securing 1 of 12 along with a mid major conference champ like Boise State getting another, hard to see B1G sending 4 teams. Oregon, OSU & Penn St
@FB_Helmet_Guy Simple but clean design that amplified the American spirit, has aged like fine wine. Add in historical context & it’s one of the most powerful kits in American sports history.
@LouisvilleGun Once again, passive& active coercion is a hell of a drug. You’re expanding the terrs definition, but also highlighting how embedded in infrastructure they became due to the conditions created.
Who ultimately created & enforced those social conditions?
@LouisvilleGun I’ve read this prior, but appreciate you posting again. You’re viewing from a western lens. Bigger picture: it’s declining historically.
Middle East in general has strong leader syndrome: this heavily skews polls & is not a true reflective. Passive coercion is rampant
@LouisvilleGun I do appreciate the humor in your responses, I don’t candidly believe those results given my personal experience, you’ve mentioned poo-pooing AJ and other media sources. Why are we taking a “did you like when the prisoner swung at the guard” poll from the county jail so seriously
@LouisvilleGun Interesting how a lot of those approval surveys are ran right after a large Israeli offensive where infrastructure, economy & civilian morale are hit. While I don’t agree, I can see that pissed off people are going to skew. See the Left in US in polls.
@LouisvilleGun There’s been no proof of implicit holding: if someone with an AK74U says “these people are going to stay here” what are you going to do? Mind you no internet, no resources etc. Extrapolate this to a wider scale, do you truly believe everyone was absolutely gung-ho?
@LouisvilleGun Please try to understand: I’m in smoketown throwing a party. Dudes rush in w/ assault rifles “we need to hang here for a bit”…LMPD shows up “everyone here is involved, fucking GO NUTS”. I abhor the “everyone is guilty” ruling. It’s simply not true.
@LouisvilleGun Oh wow just seeing this 😂 my friends are not Hamas, lame straw man.
While you’re correct on laws of land, this cramped theatre is by far not a “normal” fit for these operative requirements. Unfortunately Hamas uses what they can, and innocent civilians are implicated
@LouisvilleGun A bold step in RoE to say “there are no more safe zones” the burden is on Israel to operate at a higher standard due to both soft & hard power advantages. The US faced similar standards in both desert storms.
No Tiktok here, spent months in Ramallah, Jericho & E Jerusalem
@MaxNordau@ComicDaveSmith Israel has shown itself extremely capable in realpolitik, the fact they don’t discretely try to subvert Hamas or PA is an interesting indicator to true interests. They want acceleration, they want aggression. They aim for a “complete” solution.
@MaxNordau@ComicDaveSmith Why hasn’t Israel tried & help support this “uprising” w/ weapons, training & strategic positioning of planted charismatic leaders?
They did it in Syria, it’s almost like they want Hamas to stay in power & continue the cycle of reactionary warfare…
