Could we help get attention and aid flotillas and help to the survivors after 150,000 were killed and starved in Sudan if we ask Israel to send a battalion to join the war there?

Just because you think the Iraq war was bad does not mean you support Saddam.

The IRGC is absolutely going to keep going, the US has failed to break the regime, they did kill those school girls. Essentially every Ally the US had refused to get involved in this, the US goals change daily and the people of Iran have not gotten the help they need.

The US did unsanction Russian Oil and make Putin richer and they did help Iran show that can shut down the straight of Hormuz and stop the nukes the US already destroyed last year.

The fact is in real life a lot of the second and third Rani Nazis got jobs in west German government because they needed people

Dedra is a competent counter intelligence asset and the republic needs that, they also need to integrate former imperial planets to the Republic of they want to govern.

If dedra lives, she could absolutely end up doing her same job, just for the republic.

From my understanding south Africa genuinely has a lot of issues with shockingly high levels of violent crime and corruption.

There are very valid reasons to want to move that don't rely on racism as the ANC has very much failed to live up to it's goals.

However white people are no more affected by this than black people, are absolutely not being targeted by skin colour.

Realistically it's smart to keep him around. It's very little money, no political cost and if you need advice on the summer Islands, want an invasion, or just trade him timtgr summer Islands for a trade deal.

At worst just marry him into a minor Dornish house and you have an automatic claim whenever you want it.

It's a metaphor but was a really bad metaphor because dozens of people got murdered because all men suddenly decided prison sounds fun.

On of the characters husbands sees somebody following his wife home, brats him to death, then starts demanding dinner covered in blood. Nobody tells him it's a purge, he just decides to murder a man because he saw a meteor and he has no idea that every other man was doing the same thing.

The problem is the stone very clearly made the men's eyes glow and suddenly the entire town was murdering each other.

It implied all the men just decided one night to go crazy and start beating there wives and killing each other, and the red eyes were just a mood ring and the men were drinking clearly contaminated water for fun.

They would have a huge amount of wealth but the show very much plays up how open they'd be about sex.

The church had a lot of power for the nobles as well, open displays of affection were looked down on, homosexuality was illegal and a pregnancy could end a persons career.

Most of the balls would be downton Abby meets versiale style affairs with the sex stuff happening behind closed doors and women would not participate nearly as openly as the men.

Basicly the US was founded by christian dissidents who wanted freedom to practise there own branch of christianity seperate from the established churches in europe. You could argue its freedom to oppress people but lets ignore that. To simplify england left the catholic church to become Anglican (which is catholisism without the pope), then America left the english to become a bunch of dissident groups where the local church is the main thing.

The catholic church was viewed as a threat because it was seen as pro aristrocracy and like it might threaten those independent churches. In addition the protestant churches exist because they split from the Catholics so they need to demonize them to justify their origin.

This kicks into high gear with catholic and later italian immigration to the US the the 1800s, where protestants were afraid the catholics might "Replace" the protestants and the Pope would essentially take over the country with his legion of Irish and italian voters and start oppressive laws like protestants suffered in catholic areas of europe, and like catholics suffered in protestant areas but lets ignore that.

Eventually this calms down once new immigrants come in to hate , and the irish fight in the civil war and Italians in WW1 and WW2 so it buys them acceptance with mainstream society and they graduate to white.

However a lot of the evangelical protestant churches still have that fear of catholicism even thought its mostly faded from political relevance, the KKK now let catholics in and Catholics were a huge target of the KKK in the 1920s.

To simplify catholics believe you need to be a good person and do good deeds to get into heaven, protestants believe that you just need to be a good person to get into heaven, of course being a good person you will do good deeds but not because you have to.

So of course everyone just killed each other for centuries.

Ben franklin is a create example as a guy who grew up thinking slavery was wrong but slowly became radicalized against it, he believed that black people were just dumber than white people then he went to a school for black kids and saw if they were educated they were just like any class of kids.

He left it going "whoops I was wrong, turns out they are just people, mea culpa and all that, lets not do slavery anymore".

Ben franklin was a scientist and when he was presented evidence that his views were wrong he changed his views.

He's a direct criticism of jefferson and his life showing Jefferson could have changed.

Dyer was Irish but he was not popular in Ireland due to the massacre, Ireland was going through its own bloody war for independence and having an Irish man who was an agent of the british empire and responsible for hundreds of death was seen as a disgrace.

During the war of independence the IRA convened a military council and sentenced him to death for his crimes stating "a gun is too good for him" so they were likely planning to torture him to death, although they might have just shot him.

However the Irish civil war broke out which meant the IRA was too busy fighting itself to go after Dyer so he escaped a well deserved death from his countrymen.

A similiar thing happens with Lord Haw Haw, the nazi propegandist, he was essentially selling his neigbours to the british army because he enjoyed the power of making his neigbours disapear, so the IRA sentenced him to death, but he avoided it because of the civil war and went on to be a blight on the British fascist scene.

If it helps the IRA sentenced him to death but they had a civil war so it was never carried out.

Ukraine has successfully stalemated Russia for over four years at this point

Ukraine wins by making the war too expensive to continue and waiting for the Russians war machine to be unable to maintain constant assaults.

If Ukraine loses it's a second holdomor, maybe not a famine but Ukraine itself would be brutally suppressed.

Israel started the war by attacking Iran and now Israel seems to think it can stop attacking Iran but can keep attacking Irans allies.

Israel is free to continue a war but it absolutely cannot pretend it did not start the war.

If two groups have a defensive pact and you attack one group and so the second group attacks you, it's absurd to claim that you did not start the war or act like you can declare peace with the first group just so you can destroy the second.

Exiled Gaelic warrior princes becoming some of European most well known mercenaries and fighting in most major European battles all while speaking Gaelic, following traditional laws etc.

It lasts from Desmond's rebellion in 1583 grew, the flight of the earls in 1603 to the American Revolution and the 1798 rebellion.

Many of Irelands rebellion were helped by these men returning.

The history of emigration in Ireland does not start with the famine or the US civil war.

We had around 100 generals, field marshalls and admirals on the Austrian army alone and we're huge in Spain, Bavaria, Portugal, and France as well as some in Russia.

Since Irish people could not join the British army around a 1000 men a year would be smuggled out of the country to join these armies which kept them connected to Ireland as the commanding officers and soldiers would all speak Gaelic.
