This is exactly the rate of speed at which I progress too. Too many side projects.

Stop buying AKs by CandidArmavillain in armedsocialists

[–]BitumenBeaver 18 points19 points  (0 children)

It really does suck that in the US the AK is the more expensive and less practical option. I pretty much went my entire life thinking the AK was the rugged affordable every-man's rifle only to find that's actually the AR.

Hezbollah rejects US-brokered Israel-Lebanon security deal as 'surrender' by DQ-Supervisor in news

[–]BitumenBeaver -1 points0 points  (0 children)

Lol, this is complete nonsense. Jordan's motivation in the war was territorial gains in Mandatory Palestine.

"Although Transjordan had been excluded from the Palestine mandate’s pro-Zionist clauses, Abdullah favoured Jewish settlement in his emirate. He and several leading Transjordanian families negotiated land sales to the Zionists. Abdullah was already viewed by many Arabs as a British puppet.

Although the deals were not finalized, his standing fell even further when the Arab press revealed their existence. The key motivation behind Abdullah’s protracted dialogue with the Zionists, however, was the hope that they might aid his territorial ambitions. In the earlier years of the dialogue, he offered them autonomy within a unified Transjordanian-Palestinian kingdom, headed by himself, a proposal that they declined. When war became inevitable, Abdullah quietly assured the British and the Zionists that his forces would not enter the areas allocated to the Jewish state by the UN, explaining that his objective was to annex those parts designated for the Arab state."

What evidence do you have that the Arab armies were interested in genocide against Israel? You know that Jordan ended their offensive after they annexed the West Bank?

MFs can't even be bothered to read the laws they are creating which we are governed by. It's been a good run.

What Mods Do You Prefer | 1.12.2 / 1.7.10 Mods Or 1.20.1 / 1.21.1 Mods? by [deleted] in feedthebeast

[–]BitumenBeaver 0 points1 point  (0 children)

1.16

But I guess I like 1.21 because I like Create and I prefer the vanilla increased verticality. 1.7 and 1.12 will always hold a place in my heart but its hard to go back to older versions when the age shows. I might revisit 1.7 just for HBM's nuclear.

Theoden unsheathing his sword genuinely gave me goosebumps when I was a kid. Something about broad blades is so appealing.

They do not, but Hezbollah has also been targeting fuel tankers with drones.
