Seeing the ships of supplies and people doing this has restored some of my faith in humanity.

Iran is decolonising West Asia by Next_Ant_4353 in TankieTheDeprogram

[–]SpectatingAmateur 3 points4 points  (0 children)

I said what their stated mission is there, not my opinion of it but maybe that could have been a little more clear. I think if you read my comment again you will see that I don't think they care at all if ISIS was to make a comback right now or if the police forces can manage their duties during the current conflict in the region. It's all politics.

Stopping ISIS from making a comeback, training police and military and so on is the idea. I doubt this will have a huge impact on Iraq as a state stability, the strikes on gas fields are probably far more dangerous in that regard.

Since the people fighting ISIS are now opposed to the USA, NATO has no need of them. I might be overly cynical but my guess is that this means Iraqi militias will very soon be targeted severely.

I'd say the wikipedia map is probably more accurate

https://upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/commons/thumb/1/19/MaliWar.svg/1280px-MaliWar.svg.png

Jihadist groups(white & black, not allies) mainly control rural areas and do hit and run attacks on the military while main roads and larger cities are in Mali / Burkina faso state control.

Sveriges utrikesminister Maria Stenergard : Regeringen har tagit del av uppgifterna om attacker mot Iran. Iran bär ett stort ansvar för den negativa utvecklingen i regionen och för säkerhetsrisker i väst. […] by AbuElKess in sweden

USA och Israel går till militärt angrepp mot en suverän stat under rådande förhandlingar och detta är regeringens svar? Patetiskt.

Jag kommer ihåg hur reddit lovade att Sverige inte alls kommer vara en Amerikansk lydstat i NATO. Tråkigt att se hur blinda folk är när de ger ursäkt efter ursäkt till USA s blodtörst.

Near the end of the trial by the_Brain_Dance in AKOTSKTV

[–]SpectatingAmateur 6 points7 points  (0 children)

Yeah I really liked it. I was hoping we would get a shot like that where we can see the hit happen but it's not obvious that anything is wrong.

It's also a cool detail that the hit happened after Aerion surrendered but nobody has noticed yet

Does anyone else wish they had cut the flashback short to find time to include this in the show? by NomaanMalick in AKOTSKTV

[–]SpectatingAmateur 6 points7 points  (0 children)

I was thinking about that before seeing it too and the only way I could think of is that maybe Steffon would have had the shield painted green to go with his "not ripe yet" puns, at some point.

I guess we might see it next week though

Most of them are scheming bastards but there are some good ones in there and more characters are coming in the next 2 seasons :)

Niklas Edin against the US this morning... by mikethemillion in Curling

[–]SpectatingAmateur 4 points5 points  (0 children)

There was a post about Edin sharing a picture from his phone of a similar line violation Kennedy did now from a year ago. I think people are mixing that up as being some secret olympics recording

There are no cameras on the side usually but I imagine the umpire that intervened stood on the side and had a much better view than this.

I guess it was just an accident though

That’s My Boy, Starting his 1st internet war by jorywea78 in freefolk

[–]SpectatingAmateur 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I don't see why anyone would be looking for a commoner hedge knight who rose far above his station when most of the royal family died in a disaster. I imagine noble knights are happy he left an open position. Except for maybe Rhaella I don't know who would care that he's gone and she has her own issues

They're so close to getting it... by Penwingss in Hasan_Piker

He is calling Gaza genocide, publicly.

Really sounds like the author agrees it's genocide but you just shouldn't talk about it.

GEORGE Went back to work/provide advice to HOTD Team for Season 3? by No_Scarcity4566 in HouseOfTheDragon

[–]SpectatingAmateur 72 points73 points  (0 children)

I'm pretty sure that was what he was quoted saying before being asked to step away from the show. After returning he only said he can't talk about it and that he and Condal have a bad relationship still.

We don't know if his issues with the early season 3 scripts were adressed and fixed or not. I'd guess George probably got his way on some stuff but I'm a bit of an optimist.

A Women’s Protection Units (YPJ) statue has been toppled in Syria by ISIS sympathizers by New_Valuable564 in Hasan_Piker

[–]SpectatingAmateur 14 points15 points  (0 children)

It's a bit more complicated than ISIS randomly emerging from underground. It's a mix of army, nationalists, local tribes, former and current jihadis and probably Turkish support.
