  • Next time don’t support the losing opposition of shitty warlords that made the Taliban look better in comparison lol.

    I seriously don’t get why they decided to make them the government of Afghanistan if they were going to invade anyway and could have set up a real government with a proper election.

    Almost like they wanted some former criminals who would follow every order given to them in exchange for becoming the head of the country.




  • Doesn’t Turkey have the largest arms deals with Israel because of NATO lol?

    Although hilariously even then they are considered one of the better Islamic countries.

    • Egypt is a US shill
    • KSA is Dr evil and also a US shill
    • Syria is mental
    • Yemen and Afghanistan are war torn
    • Pakistan is a US shill but with nukes (so Egypt++)
    • Iran is gay
    • Iraq is another shill
    • Bangladesh is Pakistan lite
    • Azerbaijan is similar to Turkey with Israel

    I find it sad that about the only Islamic country that made a notable stand against Israel was Houthi controlled Yemen. No one else cares, and most have been buying Israeli spyware for years to go after their own citizens.








  • West Bank isn’t an active war zone

    The USA allows you to visit anywhere you want, and they maintain a travel advisory list for every country. Both Israel and the West Bank are listed as “High Security Risk”, not “Do Not Travel”. You can still visit “Do Not Travel” places at mostly your own risk.

    The reason given for the advisory is “terrorism and civil unrest”. Nowhere in their explanation does it say you will be actively shot at by the acting “defense” force or police.

    Hell considering the circumstances, it’s probably better to avoid run ins with the IDF, which is the opposite of what the advisory says to do lol.



  • Yeah I should have mentioned the context is FBLA, and Google partially fixed the prompt.

    Original from a few weeks ago:

    BPA is another student org called Business Professionals of America

    The AI ignores the subject context and just compares whatever is the most common acronym.

    They lazy patched it by making the model do a subject check on the result, but not on the prompt so it still comes back with the chemical lol.


  • Interesting take, but I want to point out that Afghanistan was completely invaded in a matter of days, and only because the Taliban refused to give up OBL, who was the leader of Al-Qaeda and responsible for 9/11 (ie not the Taliban).

    Point being that I don’t think the Taliban’s strategy was ever to force the USA to invade and then call for help. They simply did not want to back down against a foreign entity, especially since many of their ranks were former Mujaheddin who did the same against Russia.

    The issue of civilian collateral only became an issue well after the USA took over and installed the new government, at which point the Taliban had been decimated and forced into hiding.

    Israel has the complete capability to completely invade Gaza right now. They have done it before and they gave the same treatment of basically running the area themselves and systematically removing enemies. However, the issue at hand is that Israel wants to expand to the border both in Gaza and the West Bank, but they do not want the Palestinians to be any part of the state.

    Even comparing statistics, the rate of civilian collateral is several orders of magnitude higher than Afghanistan, despite Hamas being a smaller percentage of people than what the Taliban was. Hence why the Geneva convention is coming into question. The rate of death is so high that it indicates a level of a targeted massacre if not a genocide.

    There’s overwhelming evidence that the daily airstrikes on hospitals, schools, camps, etc. do not contain any Hamas militants. Similarly, there’s practically zero evidence any of the aid trucks or NGOs working in the area could be confused with Hamas, yet they too have been targeted and shot at multiple times with multiple deaths.

    I think the belly of the beast is just not brought up enough. Israel has no interest with Palestinians being anywhere in their state, and they will use whatever means necessary to get rid of them, whether it be illegal land grabbing (forced displacement), refusal of citizenship, deportation, ignoring lynch mobs, running a war effort, etc.

    Not to mention that Hamas was funded by Israel to keep them propped up in Gaza, which would actually make them the instigator by getting Hamas to do a massive attack to justify a strong reaction. People already forgot that Mossad was under fire for allegedly knowing all about the attack, yet doing nothing to prevent it.

    Where Israel miscalculated in this plan was Hamas taking hostages and using them to prevent an instant invasion. This put pressure on the government from the civilian population, and likely caused the USA to force them to slow down. Even now, there is massive pressure on the government to enter a ceasefire simply to allow the hostages to return, regardless of what to do with Gaza afterwards.
