  • Oh you mean the glass the West thing.

    I guess I didn’t even think of that as being a solution to the Israel problem because it just removes countries with their shit together. And the only real country that could glass the West is probably China given that Russia threatening nuclear consequences so often has clearly painted them as not having any that function.

    If China did that, it wouldn’t really be fair to the Chinese due to the massive amounts of IP and funds they rely on external to their country. Not to mention all the other companies that depend on globalization.

    I mean if you think shits bad now wait until it’s just countries where there is absolutely no voting, no education, and it’s run by cults. I don’t think that’s very fair. Plus, you’re talking billions of lives of one side of an issue rather than 10 million equally distributed between sides.

    Getting people out of the way is precisely the problem. Netanyahou wants his opposition out of the way. To do that he intends to distract by getting Palestinians out of the way. Iran has some connection to that I don’t understand still so they fund Hezbollah to get the IDF out of the way, which then Israel wants to get Lebanon out of the way to get to Hezbollah out of the way. At which point it becomes Iran and Israel trying to get eachother out of the way. If total nuclear annihilation was your solution, that seems far more fair than just the West.

  • Two women approach the king. One woman claims the other kidnapped her baby. The other claims the baby is hers. The king says fine, he’ll cut the baby in half for both of them out of fairness.

    The woman with the baby sees this as technically fair.

    Horrified, the woman says the other woman can keep the baby to ensure it survives.

    In the rest of the parable the king gives the horrified women the baby as that is the expected response of a mother.

    I am offering a fair solution. I’m not offering a realistic or sustainable solution. I have yet to hear from any faction (other that the Israeli led genocide) a detailed solution to ensuring a good outcome. This falls on the US too. The US has the capability of the King - the West as a whole can enforce it until the region can enforce it themselves.



  • Alright since you and a handful of other people didn’t pick up that I wasn’t actually serious about murdering 10m people imma respond.

    This is an exceedingly complex issue that clearly can’t be solved by any of us on the internet. It was a problem started by a lot of people who are long dead. By the time I was born the whole shit show had gotten to pretty much this exact same spot.

    I don’t know why the US has supported Israels actions for the past 80 years. I don’t know why they continued in the past 30 among anything. I do know that there is a lot of economic interest and military benefits in keeping Israel right where it is.

    One problem is Israel has Netanyahou and other than Israeli’s we can’t do shit about that. Hezbollah is a proxy by which Iran can war with Israel. Another Problem is Iran doesn’t have the military strength to be a concern to most Western countries, but it can fuck with the whole region and fuck it’s own people quite well and happily does.

    If the US stopped giving weapons to Israel (which I assume Israel isn’t actually paying for) then Israel would be forced to manufacture its own weapons internally or find some way to generate the money to buy the weapons (probably through taxes). Both of which will force Israel into a position where stupid military strikes become unpopular because of the cost to the citizens.

    But from what I understand the US won’t stop giving the weapons because of the strategic importance of Israel, and protecting quite a few big companies that set up shop there. Compound that with the strange notion that the religious right has about Israel being some sort of Land for Jews at all costs.

    Once you bring religion into the picture the clusterfuck being a domestic nightmare, an international nightmare, and a humanitarian nightmare.

    Based on what I know, the logical choice is that the US witholds weapons. But the US didn’t. Logic keeps getting thrown out. It quickly becomes an emotional issue that no one can work together on as you and a whole bunch of other people have made a great example.

    Fairness would be glassing - think along the lines of Thanos in Infinity War. It doesn’t actually solve anything, it just resets the entire geographic area to no longer be an issue.

    Justice would be completely different. There will be no justice, because all the factions disagree on what that would be.



  • Hard deadline huh?

    Usually a hard deadline means something quite literally can’t go beyond that date. Like “hey guys, Kursk literally has all our food, if they don’t get it back by the end of September we’re probably going to all starve” or “Kursk has the only insulin stock in the whole country, we’re gonna have a lot of dead diabetics”, “take Kursk back or you are all fired and heading to the front” and in this scenario I’d even settle for “if you guys don’t take Kursk back, I’ll glass the area as a nuclear test site.”

    Deadlines can’t be hard if there are no consequences.

    Edit: I mean if it were me being a stupid strongman dictator I would totally nuke an enemy controlled region within my own borders after designating it a test site. If any of the nukes were still working of course.
