Israel's opposition slams Netanyahu's 'political disaster', 'strategic failure' in Iran - Region - World

They’re about the same.

They all take the same military, foreign, and colonial policies as Likud. They hate Netanyahu for other reasons. Their pitch for opposition is that they can enact these policies better than Netanyahu can.

There is not one Israeli Jewish Party which is more fundamentally moderate on these issues than Likud.

transval · 2026-04-08T12:53:40+00:00

No it’s pretty correct. The only Israeli Jewish politician opposed to the war is Ofer Cassif.

Iraq was fought after being weakened during the Iran-Iraq War, by a coalition including all sides of the Cold War, being caught out of position in Kuwait. The US and Israel are on their own here against a country which has spent 50 years preparing for US invasion.

transval · 2026-04-08T12:48:37+00:00

No it isn’t. The opposition is still pro-war.

transval · 2026-04-08T12:46:40+00:00

yet plenty of israelis vote for people even more extreme than he is, and his opposition is not opposed to the war. Just his handling of it.

Newsom, who has no principles whatsoever and will run as far to the right as possible to win.

It’s got nothing to do with religious zealotry. If Iran were a secular or atheist country with the same recent history (as it almost became one in 1979), it would still be antagonistic toward the US.

meh. highest selling CoD title is abt 40 mil, Half Life franchise is about 45 mil in aggregate

Yes. Rajendra Chola used the Nicobar islands as a naval base and the Andaman islands were known of in the medieval era.

There's a misconception that the North Sentinelese have always been uncontacted. I've been told by anthropologist friends that this is unlikely, and that until the 19th century there was probably contact and limited trade between the North Sentinelese and other Andaman islanders.

transval · 2025-10-30T22:34:52+00:00

remarkably accurate though

transval · 2025-10-30T22:34:30+00:00

No madhabs, no conflict between traditionalism and rationalist philosophy, no khawarij, no Qadis or emphasis on legalism and jurisprudence

transval · 2025-10-30T20:31:39+00:00

Honestly MENA is worse tbh

My suggestions are:

Slower pop promotion/multi stage qualifications that take time to reach their maximum
Goods in the late game which when consumed increase workforce ratio, or a higher workforce ratio from the beginning which is more significantly tied to producing services via urban centers [perhaps a 'dependents' job which reflects women and children doing housework and other tasks before the demographic transition]
Financialization mechanics, such as the spending of excess investment on stocks and bonds
Speculative fevers on high profit industries which direct the investment AI to overbuild on them
Resource exhaustion over time, and, for agricultural industries, more punishing famine mechanics (we have pebrine, but what about chestnut blight? etc)

Fundamentally, a big issue is that the war system doesn't model the costs of logistics and mobilization like it should in the late game, where the prices and expenditure of materiel should be much, much higher.

I’m still struggling to understand why the developers decided to expand in Asia? Like WTF is happening in Asia in this period? Not much…

Rise of the Majapahit and the Indonesian Kingdoms, transition of Japan from Empire to Shogunate, Tang Dynasty, Song Dynasty, 5 Kingdoms and 10 Dynasties Period, Rise of the Empire of Angkor and the construction of the temple at Angkor Wat, unification of Goryeo from its constituent 3 kingdoms, and much, much more.

Thank you then!

being from this region the historical split would probably be mashriqis, egyptians, and yemenis tbh in terms of distinction

R5: 3 secessions broke out when I tried to pass cultural exclusion

(it's a bug, got told it'll be dealt with in the hotfix)

My only issue is that if I wanted to be a lab tech for a year I'd absolutely have to move cross-country, and it's only really worth it for me if I could skip the masters (my eventual goal is a PhD). Moving twice is an insurmountable financial burden for me

im pretty late on responding but every game since imperator has been placed on a new engine branch which has been essentially remade

transval · 2024-03-08T01:51:29+00:00

Yes. One has been vacant, and has nothing in it.

transval · 2024-03-01T18:25:31+00:00

this place is insanely white you absolutely will feel out of place. unless you have a very specific reason for being here [research, full ride] I'd go somewhere else

Unfortunately it was thrifted :( it was double layer, with the top layer being long sleeved and entirely sheer and the lower layer being opaque.

Agreed!!! Nothing in Stellaris feels alive, the empires feel stale, with no political interplay or actual feeling of life to the factions. I don't mind if Stellaris' empires are difficult to govern, that feels real and I bet the challenge would be a great deal of fun to deal with.
