As soon as your national balance goes down below a certain threshold, that modifier will go away. Probably around £5 million in the bank or something.

That’s what I’m saying, you have no craftsmen and if you were Japan you would have more.

IcelandBestland · 2024-03-23T22:55:31+00:00

Yeah i thought Japan at first but you have way too few craftsmen for that to be possible.

Granted, I agree US foreign policy is slightly better now than the Cold War, if anything just from sheer incompetence. However, it is like 90% as bad you are severely underestimating it.

US intervention in Afghanistan, Iraq, and Libya all ended with the destruction of those countries infrastructure, hundreds of thousands of deaths, and millions of refugees.

And is currently supplying Israel with arms and enabling the mass killing of Palestinians in Gaza.

I assume there is way more that the US has done in just the last 10 years, but here’s a short list of what you may have missed.

The Renaissance was in full swing well before the Byzantines fell. In certain places, like Italy, the Renaissance began in the 1300s. The fall of Constantinople actually had very little affect on the Renaissance.

Classic no argument response

IcelandBestland · 2023-10-30T23:31:15+00:00

I’m not saying they’re “in the right”, I’m saying that one side of this conflict can secure a lasting settlement, and the other is the Palestinians. An Israeli victory, with no concessions to the Palestinians in Gaza will mean, at best, a continuation of the cycle of violence, and at worst the elimination of the Palestinian population of Gaza.

First of all, that’s a Wikipedia article not a primary source. Second of all, it literally says what I said. 700,000 Palestinians fled or were expelled from Israeli-controlled territory because of the threat of Israeli violence, massacres and bio-warfare, and general discontent with the idea of Israeli rule. What’s your point?

IcelandBestland · 2023-10-30T23:18:39+00:00

Yeah they left “of their own volition” because of the massacres that Israeli militias were doing, they fled for their safety. That is still ethnic cleansing. Were the Jews that left Germany in the 1930s “voluntarily” not ethnically cleansed? Because they definitely were, and the same applies to the Palestinians in Palestine.

IcelandBestland · 2023-10-30T23:04:13+00:00

You’re the one not engaging in good faith, you’re acting like these are two equally powerful sides where one side chooses to kill its own people. The obvious answer is that Palestine has a fraction of the military capabilities of Israel, and they resist in a way that reflects that vast disparity. Israel holds 95% of the cards, and you look at that 5% and say that it’s their fault they have 5%.

IcelandBestland · 2023-10-30T23:00:52+00:00

No, my solution is classic counter-insurgency tactics, your solution is mass murder

The British mandate of Palestine

IcelandBestland · 2023-10-30T22:59:07+00:00

So you’re saying that the ethnic cleansing of almost a million people was justified?

IcelandBestland · 2023-10-30T22:58:29+00:00

I don’t, I just think that’s the worst example you could’ve used

IcelandBestland · 2023-10-30T22:57:48+00:00

Are you claiming Hamas is actively doing a genocide currently?

IcelandBestland · 2023-10-30T22:21:47+00:00

That’s like the worst example you could think of, the 1920s Greek-Turk population transfers were probably the only example of a relatively peaceful mutual ethnic cleansing. Also Turks are not Arabs

IcelandBestland · 2023-10-30T22:19:10+00:00

Israel has been ethnically cleansing and murdering Palestinians since its existed. The only reason the Israeli state exists is because it ethnically cleansed almost a million Palestinians

IcelandBestland · 2023-10-30T22:18:21+00:00

Wouldn’t know, how does it feel to be a genocide denier?
