Secret service agents moments after the 1981 assassination attempt of Ronald Reagan. (lemmy.world)

Excerpt: On this day in 1981, President Ronald Reagan was shot in the chest at the side entrance of the Washington Hilton on Connecticut Avenue by John Hinckley Jr. Reagan was walking to his limousine after a speech to AFL-CIO leaders when Hinckley, 25, who was standing among a group of reporters, fired six shots, hitting Reagan...

Rapidcreek,

After WWIi the UN created N Korea, because the Japanese that occupied the entire peninsula, had withdrawn and because the Soviets as well as the US both felt they should have control. Russia soon got bored with a sphere of influence in the Pacific.

Got it right so far?

Rapidcreek,

The basic problem is that Palestinians never got their Gandhi. Instead they got violent ass clowns.

Good to eat. They serve them for breakfast in the Caribbean

The Texas Superconducting Super Collider under construction, 1990s. (lemmy.world)

Excerpt: The Texas Superconducting Super Collider would have dwarfed CERN’s LHC, according to reports. It was designed as an enormous underground ring complex situated close to Waxahachie and had it been allowed to go forward, would have been considered the most energetic particle accelerator in the world. The project’s...

Rapidcreek,

The way I remember it as well.

Rapidcreek,

We could have had CERN, but we were short sighted and tight-assed.

Rapidcreek,

No country, not even the US, is not going to defend 8tself after being attacked. If human shields are used, you can try to take precautions but shit does happen when you’re being shot at.

Rapidcreek,

I’m giving you information. There’s no reason to provide more. Your ideologies will protect your ignorance.

Rapidcreek,

I tried to give an explanation. It fell on ideological ears.

Rapidcreek,

Have you ever read the rules of war?

Rapidcreek,

Well, they went old school and dropped flyers.

Rapidcreek,

War crimes was yesterday’s word of the day. By your answer, though, it looks like you don’t want them to engage at all which is a pure fantasy.

Rapidcreek,

Where do you think Hamas is at? This happens every time. Hamas uses human shields of Palestinians. israel bombs their ass in the houses they hang out is. Liberals get upset and scream war crime. Israeli then stops.

But, will that happen this time? By my reading the answer is no. Israel will make a full force invasion and much blood will be spilled on both sides.

Instead of carrying Hamas water, you should support, as I do, the US Secretary of State who knows what is coming and is trying to setup humanitarian corridors for the humanitarian crisis that is sure to come.

Rapidcreek,

I’m a realist. A humanist. And have a bit of knowledge in history. By my read, there is now a clock running on invasion. The US would step off at night.

Rapidcreek,

Ŵar crimes are very specific. You use the phase often enough and it’s impact dilutes. Ukraine knew this, so they got an international investigation going that ended up with the ICC indicating Putin. That’s the way it works. Sitting in your computer chair repeating war crimes not only does nothing but fogs discourse

Rapidcreek,

You are using a term you don’t fully understand to try to cudgle popular opinion without acknowledging your own hypocrisy of not acknowledging that this began with the slaughter of civilians to begin with. I’m sure countries like Iran love you for it,

You don’t know if it’s a short time. The time is not specified. If Hamas uses human shields, is that not a war crime?

Rapidcreek, (edited )

Willy Pete has been used by the US is Iraq and other places. One of the big reasons it was used.is that that in cities the trend is to cover roads with fabric. Of course, you can’t see movement on those roads , so willy Pete, white phosphorus, is used to clear the fabric. Don’t know why Russia uses it in Ukraine.

There is nothing we can do, except social pressure.

I wonder howmuch effect you think you have on a full blown war.

There is nothing that will be done. Until everyone has had their fill of violence.

War has always been this way

Rapidcreek,

Ah so you don’t care what a war crime is, you’ll just scream it and define it as you want. Well, if that makes sense to you…

Rapidcreek,

Would you rather they wouldn’t provide this warning then?

Rapidcreek,

Whoa. I think the rules of war are fairly specific and technicalities and legalities are determined by the International Criminal Court. Not up to you to determine and you know it.

Rapidcreek,

If you have to ask that, I’m sure you couldn’t read a flight tracker to begin with.

Rapidcreek,

But, what you are saying is Hamas strategy of human shields should work. Israel has no recourse?

Rapidcreek,

Since all you can do is make protestations about war crimes it pretty apparent

Rapidcreek,

So while Ukraine relies on the US, Germany, Poland, Czechia, Italy, France, the UK…

Russia relies on… checks notes Iran and the DPRK
