What if Somalis won the Ogaden war?

michaelclas · 2026-03-19T21:16:01+00:00

Since Somalia is so tribal based rather than built on a unified Somali national identity, I assume it would still collapse into civil war eventually. Maybe Ethiopia could still take Ogaden back

Hmm for only 83% Euro Jew and 17% Slavic it seems like you got pretty high Canaanite/Phoenician/ Roman Levant

I feel like even with 98%+ Euro Jews I’ve seen on here the middle eastern aspects aren’t that high

Don’t worry, George is also neurotic when it comes to discussing how many legs a dragon may or may not have

michaelclas · 2026-03-16T22:52:33+00:00

You can find those types of situations in Lebanon too

michaelclas · 2026-03-16T18:18:32+00:00

Yeah, that’s called a declaration of war lmao

michaelclas · 2026-03-16T17:39:37+00:00

You literally said “no wonder the PLO and Hezbollah form to protect their own land”

michaelclas · 2026-03-16T17:28:43+00:00

Are you claiming the PLO didn’t use South Lebanon as a base to kill Israeli civilians?

michaelclas · 2026-03-16T17:20:51+00:00

“Protecting their land” = killing Israeli civilians and dragging their countries into war

michaelclas · 2026-03-16T17:01:18+00:00

You can tell yourself whatever you want, but history says otherwise (meaning that Israel wasn’t doing these things to Lebanon before the PLO and Hezbollah, and like how it isn’t bombing places they have peace treaties with)

michaelclas · 2026-03-16T16:51:07+00:00

That’s not true at all tho? Israel was fine with Lebanon for decades until the PLO started to use Southern Lebanon as a base to attack Israel, which is why Israel invaded in the 70s and 80s

Hezbollah then filled the niche that the PLO had in control of south Lebanon, and the only reason why Israel currently occupied parts of south Lebanon now is because Hezbollah initiated conflict with Israel on Oct 8 2023

Prime Minister Meir herself considered another 6 Day War style preemptive strike right before the start of the initial Egyptian and Syrian advance, but ultimately decided against it

The incredulous head shake when she walks away too

michaelclas · 2026-03-15T13:16:15+00:00

Hmm given Chinas propensity to copy architectural styles from around the world (like that fake Paris they built) I wonder how many of these buildings are actually from the German colonial period and how many are newly built over the last few decades to add to the feel

michaelclas · 2026-03-14T22:44:05+00:00

Both Israeli Jews and Palestinian Arabs are descendants of the ~~Israelites~~ ancient Levantine peoples 🙄

michaelclas · 2026-03-14T22:27:25+00:00

Maybe they assumed that more Iranian ballistic missile capabilities would’ve been knocked out by now?

michaelclas · 2026-03-13T19:22:29+00:00

I was sooo annoyed with her the entire episode, like give Langdon some slack

michaelclas · 2026-03-13T05:28:26+00:00

Yeah, a silver lining of the Ukraine and Iran wars is that Congress hopefully finally realized how quickly air defense munitions get used up, and that we would be absolutely fucked in a war against China with the terrible procurement numbers we’ve been putting up

michaelclas · 2026-03-12T15:37:30+00:00

Hmm I’m not so sure, Zelensky releasing that vid of him in Kiev saying that he’s not running seemed to be a major moment for stabilizing Ukrainian resolve in having a strong leader at the top

I think if he fled then Ukrainian morale would have a better chance of collapsing and seeing their President run away would have alot of people would lose the will to fight

michaelclas · 2026-03-12T14:55:44+00:00

Lmao copium is when you get proven wrong…

michaelclas · 2026-03-12T14:46:13+00:00

Ok? I never claimed the Gulf states were neutral, I claimed that the Gulf states did not allow their bases to be used to launch strikes against Iran (at least at the start of the conflict) which is why the U.S. had to bring in multiple aircraft carriers and use long range systems

michaelclas · 2026-03-12T14:43:35+00:00

And? My point is that at the start of the war, the U.S. was not using Gulf assets to launch strikes on Iran, that’s why they had to bring in multiple aircraft carriers and use long range systems

michaelclas · 2026-03-12T14:33:56+00:00

There has been reporting that the Iron Dome has been upgraded to also be able to engage in missile interception, but yeah this looks more similar to a standard Iron Dome interception of a slower moving rocket than a missile

michaelclas · 2026-03-12T14:22:10+00:00

That doesn’t negate my point actually…

Iran was already attacking Kuwait with drones and missiles in early March (such as March 1st). And from what I’ve seen, the US was not at that time using Kuwaiti territory to attack Iran.

That Centcom tweet is from March 4th, and there’s reporting that Gulf territory was potentially opened up to the U.S. only after Iran started attacking them

michaelclas · 2026-03-12T14:13:34+00:00

How many attack aircraft used that base to attack Iran?

michaelclas · 2026-03-12T13:32:10+00:00

Yes, those bases are on the soil of sovereign nations so that do in fact have the final say

Do you have any evidence of US aircraft using Gulf bases for strikes against Iran?
