It's good for a lot more than that. The heat treating facility I worked at, hardened a lot of steel, that is used BY the contractors, and so did the plating companies I dropped the stuff off to. It's fucked up, but war is good for business, unfortunately, they figured that out during WWII, when we were absolutely doing the right thing, for the right reason, and have exploited it, ever since. We really had no business being in Korea or Vietnam, and as far as the first gulf war, I have mixed feelings, the second one was all Cheney(haliburton) and Bush(a mindless patsy that obeyed Cheney) reaping profits from oil, and exploitation. The other problem is, we are clearly thinning ourselves out way to much, and other ****** can see, and exploit that. What happens when we need those munitions to defend home soil. The thoughts of no one EVER being able to invade our country, are no longer realistic. China and Russia, do have some capability there. Especially Russia, being just a stones throw across the Bering Sea.

Who knows, maybe she'll hold 'em off until back up arrives. Although I'm sure we have some kind of presence up there. I know we have an air base.

It doesn't help Israel's case that this isn't the first of medical personnel causalities, even in this conflict alone. The last part there in particular would indicate that they're fine with targeting medical facilities if it's used by Hamas.

Ever go in such a circle that you forget where you started? Hamas struck Israeli border towns, took (and still retain) civilian hostages, ****** scores of civilians, and generally escalated (reignited?) the conflict. Israel responded.
Israel hit a Civil Defense facility. The Islamic Jihad may have blown up a hospital ******* ~500 of its own. Hamas still has hostages.
Who is the good team here? I am still on the no-more-******** side.

No one. Neither side wants cohabitation, they both want extermination. One side is full of religious zealots, the other a group that has dealt with attempts to exterminate them, both in WWII, and in their new homeland. I'm not condoning Israel's actions, but I think much of what they do is out of fear, that they still carry from decades ago. I also think they feel entitled to do as they please, because long ago they were handed a victim card, and someone forgot to put an expiration date on it. So, they both suck, and unfortunately it comes down to who is the lesser evil.

What are the motivations of both sides in the Israel-Gaza conflict?
The Israel-Gaza conflict is a doozy. That's like trying to crack a 1000-piece jigsaw puzzle, except the pieces keep shifting and changing shape. But yeah, figuring out the motivations and agendas of all the players is key to understanding the conflict. On the Israeli side, you've got security concerns, historical claims to the land, and political pressure from different factions within the government. And on the Palestinian side, there are issues of displacement, human rights violations, and a feeling of disenfranchisement. It's like an intricate web of competing interests and motivations.

Exactly. Which is why that cartoon from Orban is appropriate.

Well this is special. Slow joe wants another 100 billion, for Israel, and Ukraine, but old people are still can't afford their meds, and ******** are going hungry, while veterans of our military, are ******** under overpasses. I think all of the politicians need to donate THEIR money for a change. pelosi alone is worth over 100 million herself. It's time for them to put up, or shut up.

That seems to be your thing these days. I wouldn't want to intrude.
I truly **** that. By that logic, the Japanese should have the right to nuke anyone they please. But instead, they ****** any nuclear weapons on their soil. Even the US ****** in Japan can't carry nukes. I'd say that is a better approach.

I use AI because it can access, analyze, and make insightful conclusions about complex topics from vast amounts of data.
It's faster than using google search and I usually get a more complete and easier to understand answer to my searches.

In the context of war, Premium Link Upgrade and Israel are completely different.
Premium Link Upgrade committed many crimes against the people of neighboring countries, before they were stopped in 1945.
Most antisemitism and racism is baseless hatred ****** on from previous generations.

.
The historical and cultural contexts of Premium Link Upgrade and Israel are quite distinct, especially when it comes to war. Here are some key differences:
Premium Link Upgrade 's involvement in WWII was driven by imperialist ambitions and aggressive militarism, whereas Israel has been involved in wars primarily out of self-defense.
Premium Link Upgrade was a major power with an established military and economy, whereas Israel was a new state, formed in 1948, and faced significant military and economic challenges.
Premium Link Upgrade 's actions during WWII have been condemned as war crimes, whereas Israel's actions during wars have been highly controversial, with different perspectives on the justification and legality of their actions.
Antisemitism is often rooted in ignorance and stereotypes that have been perpetuated for centuries.
It's a form of prejudice and discrimination that has been around for a long time, and it's sad that it continues to be a problem today.

Well that's my opinion, I don't know that it's really true. I assume, though I shouldn't. you don't like it because you feel the same? As far as Japan goes, we had no choice. The American people lost so many men fighting in the Pacific, not doing something that could have prevented the massive loss of life, by invading the mainland, would have caused an uproar.
I won't get into a discussion about whether the nukes should have been used in the way they were. That's a topic worthy of its own thread, and people much more knowledgeable than myself have debated it.
My comment was simply that if Israel feels justified in their actions per their "victim card", the Japanese have an equally valid card, but choose not to use it. And that their approach is preferable.
I equally **** lux's comment which essentially states that "Japan bad, they deserved to get nuked". No major power didn't do what Japan did. Heck, the US did in the Philippines what the Japanese did there, literally 25 years before.

Ditto to the people under British, French, Spanish, Portuguese and any other colonial power. But I don't hear anyone saying they "deserved" to be punished.

Yeah, I don't think we would find much common ground on a debate about WWII, and Japan, or Japan vs. Israel. I think before it goes further I'm gonna suggest "agree to disagree", and shift away from that one.

Time for a dmase interjection:
Based on the information and circumstances on August 1, 1945, Truman was correct with his decision. Japan has benefited from US protection since the war ended. When it was cheaper for a builder in Pittsburgh to buy Japanese steel than steel from across the rive there was a problem. Plenty of people and towns paid that price.
Philosophical question: If AI fakes are ******, should AI posts be as well? I say 'no' if they're properly attributed.
So let's leave it alone 'cause we can't see eye to eye
There ain't no good guy, there ain't no bad guy
There's only you and me and we just disagree

I think it's only ai fakes of ***********, and probably **** and ****** stuff. Personally, I think it's just an excuse to look at little girls.
