afaik Pakistan has no intention or capability to toll Hormuz. Since Hormuz is quite narrow, ships pass through Iranian and Omani territorial waters. Yesterday I read that a new protocol has been made by Iran and Oman regarding transit fees that splits countries into three groups: 1- Friendly...

Like others mentioned some of these topics were already present very early in the story and are core to the story. I cannot say that I like how Oda approached them however. No twists or subversion of those plot points at all.

None of these people will specifically affect the midterms though. Bondi isn't the one up for election, and the bad optics she has are all related to Trump, who is going nowhere and who has been central to the republican identity since 2016. This administration has also removed an...

Purges of the military and the political cabinet during wartime are not a good sign imo. I think he's filling it with yes-men who will approve his ground operations, which may be a disaster for us. I believe its a story about human agency, even in the face of the omnipotent God, and God's...

I am specifically talking about the Levant's population. Genetic studies show an ancestral continuity going back to the Bronze age. There is some European and African admixture and a component from the Arab peninsula, but they are rather mild considering the history of the region. The beef with...

I like Imu's design though I think its a bit too busy. Him being a Lunarian affirms my thoughts that his story is that of a fallen angel. Same, I dont come to WG as much as before. Life gets in the way of fun as we grow up

Twerking for Ashkenazis by attributing them something they didn't do is not being honest with oneself. As for our local Phoenicians/Canaanites, they are the same people even if their language changed with time. Quite amazing that despite the many foreign groups that came to the Levant, its core...

I mainly said that since comparisons were made a few months ago between Loki and Kaido lol. I'll gladly admit that Loki and Ragnir are stronger than Aokiji for example, who has ice powers similar to the squirrel.

At this point everything points towards Ragnir being stronger than the Yonko. Galley-la giants were probably frozen by Ragnir, and thats how Loki will be able to break them free.

Not sure what point you're trying to make here, plenty of Ashkenazis voted for the law, Liberman and his party crossed the aisle to vote for it. The break is based on ideology where most right wing voted for it while most centrist/left wing and Arab parties voted against it. That being said...

The IDF has given the settlers a blank check and helps them in displacing people. https://www.timesofisrael.com/settlers-drove-an-entire-village-into-exile-palestinians-say-the-state-is-keeping-them-away/
