"Not one step backwards"
Unknown if their warheads work.
Known that their ICBM's don't work and the ICBM's they got from Iran were blown to high hell a few days ago.
Except where you want Iran to genocide the Jews?
By hating Gays, Lesbians and Transgender peoples, by oppressing women's rights to that of slaves - he's the hero of humanity?
You're a sick, twisted individual.
Well, they did leave Southern Lebanon under the auspices of peace and then immediately got more rocket attacks, so occupying southern Lebanon is probably back on the cards.

Times-out here in Aus on multiple ISPs (Exetel/Superloop, Telstra and Optus)
Having a look now though, it seems to just bounce between be12194.ccr41.ams03.atlas.cogentco.com and be5160.ccr42.fra03.atlas.cogentco.com
Also it takes the most harebrained route, rather than going the speedy way up through Singapore>Middle East>Europe, it goes out to Japan > USA, LA > Phoenix, AZ > El Paso, TX > Dallas/Fort Worth > Atlanta > DC > London UK > Amsterdam <> France
Thanks Cogent.
Regardless, without a VPN to Germany I couldn't read the article due to bad routing.
This is awful, but Ukraine is connected to Europe's grid now, so it's not as dire as if they were islanded.
Still, Fuck Putin with a pineapple, sideways.
DW blocks countries outside Europe, so if you can't load the page, I've pasted the story below
A former Japanese boxer convicted more than 50 years ago of killing his boss and family was acquitted by a Japanese court on Thursday.
Shizuoka District Court ruled that 88-year-old Iwao Hakamada was innocent, in a retrial that was granted 10 years ago. The court's presiding judge, Koshi Kunii, said the court acknowledged multiple fabrications of evidence and that Hakamada was not the culprit, according to broadcaster NHK.
Hakamada is the fifth death row inmate granted a retrial in Japan's post-war history. All four previous cases also resulted in acquittals.
Hundreds of people queued in the morning at the court to try and secure a seat for the verdict in what has become a high-profile case that has gripped the nation.
A long battle to clear his name - In 1968, Hakamada was convicted of the murder of a company director and three of his family members two years before. He at first denied the crime, but confessed after what he later described as a brutal police interrogation that included beatings.
He was sentenced to death but lengthy appeals and the retrial process led to the postponement of his execution. A first appeal for a retrial was dismissed by a court 27 years after his sentencing. The latest retrial, which was finally approved by the court in 2023 after a second appeal was filed in 2008 by his sister, Hideko Hakamada, now 91, began in October.
Japan is the only major industrialized democracy other than the United States to retain capital punishment. As of December, 107 prisoners were waiting for their death sentences to be carried out. The method used for execution is always hanging.
UNGA Resolution != UNSC resolution.
UNGA resolutions are as worthless as the paper their written on, by design (as a UN that tried to enforce GA resolutions would be as impotent as the League of Nations)
UNSC is a different matter.
Consider this- If the US starts to vote in the UNSC for a ceasefire, that's the signal they're intending a direct entry into the war. Both parties will be told to stop, with US relying on Hezbollah not keeping the terms so they could get some 'world police' time in.
If the UNSC says they have to stop, Israel has to stop.
If the UNSC says they have to stop, Hezbollah will not stop.
US will block it even though they want it, since they know that a forced ceasefire just means Israel gets attacked for 21 days unchecked.
"Ubisoft investigates Ubisoft and found that Ubisoft did nothing wrong at Ubisoft"-situations, isn't it?
"The consumers are wrong, it's those damn Millenials again"
Followed by continuing to change nothing and fading into obscurity like Atari or Commodore. (hopefully)
attacking any non-nuclear state that had the participation or support of a nuclear state, Putin said.
This is also how you get Australia to start seriously considering a nuclear arsenal.
It's sort of new though, in the past an executive couldn't really keep a pulse on the market themselves, they needed real world connections, they needed information that wasn't just available at their fingertips and the only way to readily get it was relying on people under them to feed truthful and useful information and not just be 'yes men'.
Information is readily available at their fingertips now though, there is no excuse for being so disconnected and out of touch.
It was so bad Epic dropped their exclusivity deal?
