I agree. But, maybe, at some point, they settle on Kurds having a country that’s got zero overlap with Turkish land and in a place not strategically important to Turkey.

Edit: And we may see Azerbaijan enter the war and gain Azeri territory at the same time and I think Turkey would be very favorable to that end. So maybe they take a plus and a minus to even things out?

Cubans are exempt from most of the deportation laws.

If people want to leave Cuba, the Cuban government ought to let them go. This should be a national policy.

What are they going to do with oil? Does Cuba have any working refineries? Ñico López is down due to a fire the other day. Hermanos Díaz refinery is entirely offline, retooling for capacity to refine heavier oil. It won’t be online again for months. The only other refinery I know is only does coking to produce non-fuel chemicals and lighter grade oil that’s fed back into Ñico López.

It depends how it is done. Instead of denials, it could be used to “approve without review” all the easy cases and then forward to a human all the rest. This would speed up approval for lots of situations and focus human effort on more difficult cases.

If you want to get technical, all the games are bad because they extract vast amount of resources from people who live in the host city and leave behind unusable infrastructure. Also, the corruption. So much corruption.

I’m going to bet the vast majority of cases involve an adult predator.

Aside from direct vandalism or persuasion, is there something I can do to combat the Ring cameras on nearly every door in my neighborhood?

It was ISIS and Nigeria asked him to do it.

U.S. military’s Africa Command confirmed it had conducted a strike that killed multiple militants at the request of Nigerian authorities.

I have my flaws. Thank you. But what about the topic we were discussing? Is that all you had to contribute?

I support the disarming and surrender of Hamas very specifically because it is for the good of Palestinian people. This is the surest way to stop the genocide. One Hamas is eliminated, everyone should recognize Gaza as an independent nation. They should be made to have a pacifist constitution and no offensive military capacity as a requirement for recognition.

Actually, I do not support murder or rape. Israel does have a right to retaliate against Hamas, assuring their complete surrender or annihilation, but they also have a duty to civilians that do not cooperate with Hamas. My speaking out against Hamas should not be understood to mean I support all actions of Israel.

I’ll be honest, as a traditional Catholic, I’d be fine with Crusaders getting the job done, but I am willing to defer to the Ottomans. Either way, the children running Hamas & Israel need to be put in their place.

I’m not aware of ever having done that. Why?

I’m friends with American Palestinians and American Jews and I’ll say that the support of each side for their government is irrationally strong. Hamas is legitimately popular on its own. And very few say Hamas should turn in their weapons and release the hostages and surrender even though that would end the war overnight. In this regard, I feel they are similar to Russians & Putin. It just isn’t rational. Hamas is causing harm to Palestinians.

My solution isn’t liked by either side. I say bring back the Ottoman Empire so both can be ruled by someone else. Neither can be trusted to respect the lives of the other without an even bigger entity above them both.

There were a few Palestinians protesting against Hamas a few months ago but Hamas killed them. That said, Hamas does have broad support in Gaza.
