Similarly, the IRA managed to assassinate Lord Mountbatten on his boat

"13 gone and not forgotten. We got 18 and Mountbatten"

Compelling strategic argument from former Tunisian general on Hezbollah' -and by extension, the resistance- guerilla strategy of escalation. "Nothing ever happens" is carefully considered.

As agonizing as it is, I'm inclined to agree making the confrontation more direct wouldn't necessarily improve the situation. Clearer minds need make difficult decisions.

Free our mans! Let the people comment

Nice! Hopefully this means mine will arrive soon, before Saturday optimistically.

At this point I call it for the racism it is: "They're just so fundamentally stupid they're going to keep doing stupid tactics that have been proven historically to not work. They can't figure out their own oppression nor how to resist it, that I, the coddled western whelp I am, can conceive of from a safe distance"

I dunno, I think I get it, projecting yourself into things you enjoy is a natural part of experiencing them. It's like, part of the exchange of reading, at least in my experience.

Fresh ammunition for the Birds aren't Real gang

When you annoy the local organizing groupchat arguing with the fed/plant who has been continuously posting on behalf of US state propaganda against Iran, Hezbollah and the resistance even if nominally being in the 'pro-Palestine' group, after he starts caping for the right wing color revolution in Venezuela

Never read them! Dad had Turtledove novels and not X-men comics. Had some Jonah Hex comics though, and this one weird comic I've never been able to find or name that was a weird sci-fi story about an interstellar fight against an Alien Ant empire lead by a Monkey Emperor

Similarly, 'Bozhemoi' is in my lexicon from like, Harry Turtledove alt-history
