So much for reflection.  The people who claim much of Languish is Yi are right after all.

Take the RER to Gare du Nord, explore a bit, find a cafe and watch the world go by with a glass of wine, then return in time for your flight.

I think we can go with the fact that the leader of Israel has already been charged with war crimes and so you might want to reflect on that for a bit.

See, if another leader is charged with the same crime for the same thing then the law is being used fairly.  If not, then it is not.  There is probably some legal word for only using the law against people you don't like.  So It would be interesting to see if the leader of Iran is charged with war crimes by the UN.  If he is then it would be a vindication that bombing civilians is bad rather than simply being Jewish is bad.  Same thing with Saudi Arabia in Yemen.

On Sunday I have an 8 hour lay over at Charles De Gaul
I need to figure out a plan of something to do.
Roaming the streets shouting petit pois only packs so much entertainment.

Read a book?

Is that Trump's version of dropping the soap?

That reminds me, did France ever get rid of that disjointed government debuff?

Seems to have transferred to the US somehow.

Sadly, no.  Trump controls all three branches of government, and the possibility of collapse is small.  Though some people seem to be happy we now have the spirit of political violence.

That might be your algorithm again

Maybe, tell you what:  If the UN charges Iran with genocide I was wrong.

Probably a factor, but I could also see Netanyahu/Putin having an understanding of sorts? You let us do this, we stay out of Ukraine/pressure US to stay out of Ukraine?

What capability does Russia have to let or not let Israel attack Iran at this point in time?

No idea. I'd assume they could provide some hypersonic missiles or similar to Iran in exchange for drones, but there would be no plausible deniability.

You suggested some agreement between Russia and Israel.  Giving missiles to Iran would be an unlikely incentive for Israel.
