Hey, don’t want to get in a big argument, just pointing out a few things.
Hamas came to power in 2006 running as a moderate, less corrupt org than the other guys.

Then once they got into power and had the weapons and control, they haven’t allowed the Palestinians to have another vote since and became more radicalized and violent.

So the Palestinians in Gaza have little say or influence on the terrorist Hamas’s actions.

And who controls access to Gaza?

The polls keep getting worse for Biden. Sticking with Biden risks a win for Trump.

My adventures in replacing another SaaS tool continue. Here’s what we got:

  • The top image is built using an open-source tool called Imagor located on a Docker container somewhere: https://github.com/cshum/imagor
  • The bottom image is built using Imgix.

This was not a 1:1 replacement. The URL structure is different and requires signing. I had to create a new Twig filter to allow for that and the instructions on doing so weren’t obvious.

But I figured it out.

    A battalion 250 of USA's primary imperialism force "United States Marine Corps" from North Carolina are now at the southernmost archipelago coast of Finland "training for combat in cold archipelago conditions", where it causes the most possible pressure against St. Petersburg, in the continuing escalation/counter-escalation causing false legitimization of Putin's militarization, aggression and oppression, while also of course immensely increasing the combined threat of war and covert aggressions against the populace of Finland.
    The purpose of the Hanko/Hangö fortification has for most of its centuries of various forms of existence been to put pressure against St. Petersburg and related areas or as a base for invasions through the many wars.

    Alaska does have archipelago. It is closer and more northernly.

    Interesting take. How many times have Russian troops invaded Finland?

    Seems like helping someone defend themselves from a hostile and threatening neighbor is NOT “imperialism.”

    Russia has begun using a new version of the Lancet drone that can autonomously identify targets - ISW

    Its name is “Product-53”. It was first released in Ukraine on October 21.

    This drone can allegedly distinguish between target types and increase the chances of a successful strike.

    You do understand that if you don’t elect Biden you get Trump, his demolition of democracy, his revenge fantasies, the terrible GOP policies and wars, abandoning Ukraine to Putin, Taiwan to China, reduced social services, …

    It’s a binary choice this time around. Either we move forward, albeit slowly, or slam into reverse and have a demolition derby.
