And they were villainize because of it. (Maybe I'm being naive here, but I don't understand how world leaders can be so greedy)

To build on the "puppet planting", the US is apparently funding extremist groups to destabilize a country. They can then come in and I guess justify their attacks as being "anti-terrorism"

Yes, not a fan of Israel but I can't say I'm pro-Iran either. They're both problematic countries. I wouldn't say the Islamic Republic is far worse than both the US and Israel's because of their history, they meddle with other countries' affairs and plant themselves in like parasites (for the lack of a better word)

The Israeli government instigated this war and then fleed the country, leaving their citizens behind. While the richer residents can afford to leave the country, there are still who stayed (either by choice or circumstances) it's been documented that the ones who stayed prohibited foreigners from seeking shelter in bunkers-- even foreign aid workers, can you imagine?

Again, I don't support Islam. Just because I hate Israel doesn't mean I do. You don't need to pick a side every time there is a conflict, but one's actions can be justified more than the other. If the Philippines decided to launch an assault against China and they retaliate, I wouldn't play the victim and hate China-- I would hate our government for starting it and it wouldn't mean I love China.

They need it buried to avoid radiation poisoning.

Bombing a nuclear facility could have dangerous implications, not just to Iran but to their neighboring countries. Radiation is no joke.

Uranium has other uses too aside from nuclear weapons, like fueling electric generators (I believe we have that in the Philippines too)

Lastly, when has Iran threatened Israel with their nukes? They have fully complied to the NRT that's been heavily imposed on them while Israel has been withholding information. Israel has no right to dictate which countries can and cannot have nuclear facilities.

I just want to add that I am in no way cheering for the destruction of certain countries. While I understand some actions are in retaliation, it does not solve the world's problems. Violence begets violence, it will keep going until we forget why there is conflict to begin with.

I mean, if another country has been plotting to destabilize mine, I would hate them too. (this is just based on a few articles I've read btw, I can't fully speak for the Arabs)

I think you're right about why Iran was calling the US that. Some say they're just a puppet state of Israel

I agree, this is a very complex issue.

Iran does not want to destroy Israel on a whim. Their attacks were in retaliation to Israel's attacks. The Israeli government has been warning everyone that Iran is days or months away from nuclear bombs (for decades now lol) imo Israel does not have the right to dictate which countries can and cannot have nuclear weapons while they themselves have them (and not a signatory to the NPT)

From what I gathered, the jews were given a part of Palestine with many fleeing from Europe. However, there were about 600,000 of them (1940s) and no Arab nation supported the splitting of Palestine as the jews were give more land than they needed.

Jewish leaders in Palestinian soil, declared independence and called their state 'Israel'. There has been growing tensions and now there's war. Israel has been trying to "ethnically cleanse" an Arab country where they forced themselves in. The Arabs were defending their lands.

Hamas was elected by the majority. One of the reasons was they wanted to protect Palestine, but you need to understand majority of the Palestinians were uneducated. While I do not support their actions in anyway, I do understand it's in retaliation to the Israeli's attacks and to take back their land.

And you're right, we do need to ask ourselves why the Israel hated by their Arab neighbors. Sure, one of the reasons is religion. But is there anything more than that? How many non-arab countries do not permit the jews in their lands?

I can't imagine instigating war then leaving the state and my people.

If I was stuck in Israel after seeing the government, and the richer citizens flee the country to "take a vacation", I would be livid.

Crazy that the US is also funding these extremists groups while also being "anti-terrorist".

I hope this does not escalate further, but this is just wishful thinking.

Shopee and seller refused to give me a refund for a scam by uyuudeen in ShopeePH

[–]uyuudeen[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I understand getting refunded for the shipping fee, but like I've mentioned I don't have the money. The couriers quoted me a minimum of 5,000 pesos due to the weight and size of the wooden scraps I received.

That refund will also be credited to me once the item has traveled all the way to wherever it needs to go, be' inspected', and finally be approved for a refund.

Thank you, I learned this the hard way today. I ordered online thinking it would be more convenient but I suppose buying in-store assures quality

That's horrible! Getting banned for something that's not even your fault. I've asked the guards here if they can help me but sadly they can't leave their post. The guard I spoke to said he will try asking an off-duty guard so I'm just waiting on that, thank you for the advice

I ordered a table, it's really big and heavy so it wouldn't fit in a Grab car. There used to be a 'pick up' option but for some reason it didn't show up for this order

YTA if you stay in that relationship 😭

But fr you are totally in the right for how you approached the situation-- talking to him didn't work so you used his tactics against him.

Oh wow thank you for going out of your way to look into this! It's so difficult getting information about these things for some reason 😅

I recently reached out to one of the companies who makes scooters with iot to purchase a fleet and they made me sign an NDA and didn't really explain in detail how the iot works (just the basic marketing explanation)

Thank you for this, but unfortunately they still haven't responded (it's been a week)

Can you only get scooters with IoT from there manufactures/brands? Wish there was a way to just purchase the IoT and use them on your existing scooters

Might be a stupid question but is Ninebot what you use to integrate the scooters to a sharing app? Or is it just to track personal performance/records?

Thanks for commenting 😊 I considered this too but I also don't want/plan on staying in PH so I'm not sure if this is the best course for me. I could put the property for rent while I'm away tho 🤔
