Pretty obvious the ICC overstepped, and their politically motivated actions have hurt their reputation. The ICC’s ability to perform their purpose of justice has been significantly diminished by their political activism.

Yeah there’s no better reason to use jury nullification than when government wants to kill a guy for political reasons.

Yeah, if the pro-Palestinian movement was a non-violent resistance movement I’d be on board 100%. But unfortunately that’s not what it is.

Odai Nasser Saadi Al-Rubai is someone we should support, someone who wanted peace. But he’s dead now and those who claim to want peace for Palestine seem to want to erase him from existence. He was inconvenient to their narrative so they will pretend he didn’t exist.

How can someone claim to be to be pro-Palestinian if they have no empathy for Odai Nasser Saadi Al-Rubai, a Palestinian that wanted there to be an end to this war? It doesn’t seem like a pro-Palestinian movement to me, it just looks like an anti-Israel movement.

Have you seen a photo of what tanks in combat look like these days? They have cages welded on top of them. Also the hatches can be closed. A lot of tankers like to have the hatch open so the commander can have have more visibility, but it’s not a necessity.

There have been ways to take out a tank with missiles for a long time now. The reason why they’re still used is that air defenses exist and nothing beats the cost efficiency of moving a big gun close to the enemy and firing a lot of cheap ammunition at them.

Also are you going to tell civilians they can move back into their towns based solely on drones? If the civilians are behind a bunch of tanks, they’re safe because the drones will go after the tanks before going after the civilians. You need soldiers to hold ground. A soldier in a tank is going to be harder for a drone to kill than a soldier that’s not in a tank.

Yes drones are effective, but drones can’t hold ground and keep civilians safe.

We all hope for peace, but some of us understand that Hamas is incompatible with peace.

Yes because Russia will build more tanks and other equipment in the next decade. Not a problem if Europe builds up too. But that will be a problem if Europe does nothing.

If Russia were an immediate threat, Europe would have no choice but to give Trump whatever he wants so the US will protect Europe. But with Russian forces being decimated by this war, Europe has the opportunity to build it’s own arms industry to be able to produce it’s own weapons to be able to counter Russia in a decade’s time.

Drones don’t hold ground, soldiers do. Soldiers that have tanks are going to be more effective than those without them.

ITT: A lot of of leftists seeing evidence that they have supported fascists and having to choose between remaining a leftist or going full tankie.

What’s bullshit is that you believe that people capable of the horrific things that happened on October 7 would never ever torture and kill people that threatened their power.

Hamas is a fascist organization, and this is how fascists roll.

Your comment might carry more weight if this thread wasn’t full of people being outraged and claiming that anything that suggests Hamas aren’t good guys must be “zionist propaganda”.

You may not support Hamas, but maybe ask the people in this thread that are clearly pro-Hamas whether or not they consider themselves to be pro-Palestine.

The contents of this thread suggests there are a lot of people that are part of the pro-Palestine movement are indeed pro-Hamas. And there is little push-back within the pro-Palestine movement for people that take pro-Hamas and even anti-semitic stances. Anyone who does gets labelled a zionist and gets harassed and threatened.

Sure not everyone in the pro-Palestinian movement are pro-Hamas, but Hamas is a significant part of that movement. And when you have violent extremists in a movement, they are the ones that control the movement, not the pacifists. Because as we can see, the violent elements of a movement are willing to kill the pacifists if they speak against them.

Unfortunately trust doesn’t work that way. When you betray alliances, trust is broken and it would take a fundamental change in the US political system and many decades to rebuild that trust.

This isn’t Trump’s first term. This isn’t an interruption of America being it’s true self. Biden was the interruption, Trump is the new normal of what America is to the world. Even if a Democrat wins the next election (if there is one) no one can trust that the US won’t go back to someone like Trump in a future election.

The US is at best an unreliable ally and at worst an adversary. That’s just how it is now.

Bumble bees are actually inspiring wing designs now. For a long time our best theories on aerodynamics couldn’t explain how Bumblebees could fly. Given the relative mass and wing size the bumble bee they couldn’t explain how a bumble bee could fly.

In the last decade or so they figured it out after putting enough bumble bees into wind tunnels. Bumblebees generate additional lift by creating little vortexes in the air. So now wing designers are trying to incorporate that effect into their designs.

Plus nobody is murdering, displacing, and otherwise ethnically cleansing the population of New York.

Isn’t that what ICE is doing right now?

We’re moving towards doing the same thing to the US up here in Canada.

Just shit you gotta do when you’re dealing with fascists. Sorry, we can’t hurt Fox News without hurting all of NY. Things are gonna be shit when fsacists are running things where you live.

Because the 2 year old Lexus will put carbon into the air and the EV will not.

Also it’s possible there may be some people in the middle class that took advantage of the program. They will be putting less carbon into the air as well.

I get that you want to eat the rich or whatever, but if the world burns down because of global warming, you won’t get the chance to do that.
