Also, Israel will have a delegation for Moscow's May 9th parade. They will join forces with the much respected Azerbaijan, Belarus, Serbia, Tajikistan and North Korea. So much winning!

Hey Raz, what's wrong with martial law in Ukraine exactly?

Also, do you have any data on the percentage of neo-nazis that fight in the Ukrainian Armed Forces?

Thanks.

If anything, Israel's bombing of civilians is more comparable to what Russia is doing.

Zelenskyy seems to feel differently.  The main difference is that the Russia rockets fall on Europe,  Palestinian rockets fall on Israel.  You and so many like you are willing to over look the flaws of Ukraine because it is your ass on the line.  You could also be victims of Russian aggression.  Your high minded ideals decline into cold hearted pragmatism when you are in danger, that's why Finland is exiting the Landmine treaty.  That's why you overlook NeoNazis that fight for you, that is why martial law is okay in Ukraine.  Hamas and Hezbollah are no danger to you, if they were, you would have much less of a problem with the deaths of Palestinians.

To be honest, the antizionists sound a great deal like the Ukraine skeptics, just for different sides.  In people like Tucker Carlson you have both.  Dislike for both Ukraine and Israel.

Morrowind had a lot of copy and paste dungeons no?

I do agree that's key to a good MMORPG- dense worlds where every inch is designed. Worlds that are big just to show off were impressive once upon a time but no longer. It's where Yakuzas world relally shines for instance.

Both yes and no. They both kill civilians and sometimes they miss and kill civilians that are not legitimate targets.

Just that the Russian ratio of misses/expended ammo is probably miles higher and sometimes probably not misses.

I still have no clue what the Israeli end game is. A quick, brutal and successful defeat of Hamas I would support. This drawn out half measure is just horrible, better to get out of Gaza and rebuild the wall.

PP has no gravitas and limited charisma, but I thought he'd do better. I think his insulation from journalists asking unscripted questions hurt him. It's like he can't think on his feet fast enough, or maybe he's just not that bright.

That's why we saw him revert back to his attack dog ugly side near the end of the debate. The façade slipped away.

It remains to be seen (pun intended), for those who grew up with the original anime.

I grew up with the original anime.

You grew up with a 1990's anime?

If we're all old here, nobody is really old.  Except Grumbler, of course.
