Happy birthday Fuji, I hope you enjoyed a good day and wish for a good year 🍰

Out of all the flashbacks Oda could write, the Void Century must be the most detailed one. It lead to the state of the world as it is right now. Oda has to handle Imu, Joyboy, Davy Jones, Lily, 20 Kings, ancient weapons and a ton of other details and characters properly. Lets just pray its a...

I still doubt he falls without external intervention. Though the last 2 days had more intense protest turnout, tonight was mild and counterprotests in favor of the regime have been bigger. And it seems like they neutralized most Kurdish armed elements with the help of Turkish intelligence...

I wonder if the original post is about IDF training many American police officers by facilitation of organizations like the ADL. That no doubt increases militarization of the law enforcement agencies. I don't think the IDF's record is a good metric to train US police officers in.

Walid Jumblatt ? That's Mr. Walid for you btw :MZTS: He is an opponent of separatism. Always has been, so if he's even against Suweida becoming separate the same would apply for the SDF in Syria. Just like the great leader of the 20th century Sultan Pasha.

Nope. Check the fourth amendment: They can only search and investigate American citizens if they have warrants for such action and reasonable cause. Neither one seems to be the case for this shooting or attempted arrest of the American lady.

ICE already (by laws) has no authority to detain US citizens. There is gross overreach here that needs to be corrected before things spiral out of control. I don't expect the current DHS will do anything to fix it.

There is a lot on my mind to say.

UAE were idiots for attacking the Saudi-backed forces because they thought MBS was lobbying Trump against them in Sudan. I wonder if Saudis will keep going to end their influence in Sudan and Somalia now.

PKK already burnt their weapons. Kurds aren't gonna unite themselves let alone all iranic groups, and I doubt they even want to. And you bring up the weirdest things at times talking about moms with biracial kids. If Iranian diaspora is anything like Arab diaspora in the USA, they most likely...

Concession accepted. Fairouz wins.

For Umm Kalthum you have to sit on your ass for 60 minutes to get the experience. Fairouz is better when you're riding in the morning. Better in the winter too. Fairouz singing about our cities hit much closer among the people while Umm Kalthum singing is more state-oriented. The emotions and...

Overrated tbh. Fairouz is better.

They did fear and hate him lol. The guy was very popular even among countries that were his rivals, they feared they'd get couped.

The guy was extra charismatic and did some good things to end the feudal systems in Egypt with land reform. But he failed in a lot of other areas. Left us with the autocratic system other Arab nationalists used (Baathist parties as an example). Marginalized faith in a region where that is the...

Trump did threaten Iran multiple times if they shoot at them. More US military assets were being moved to the Middle East recently. Israeli cabinet outright said they have plans for wide military operations against Iran and Lebanon. Then they send a message to Iran that they won't strike. And...

The Middle East is filled with sectarian conflict and opinions, you're just getting a sample from him. If Iranian sources are to be believed, they already are supported/guided by Israel. Which makes sense considering the mossad gloats it has many capabilities inside Iran.

He was influential with the Shia across MENA, but did he have enough influence on Gaddafi to carry out this job? That's where I doubt it. Regardless this is ancient history compared to now, and most of those involved are dead by now. They lost their foothold in Syria, trying to make one in...

Not sure if Khomeini conspired on it especially since at the time, he was in exile in Iraq and was moved like a month after his death to France. The Shah could have been behind it, just like he was behind Khomeini being kicked from Iraq. Or other revolutionary hardliners maybe. I lean more...

The men in the Sultan's harem tended to lack their balls. If the shia liberate the mosque they will make sure the sunnis in the region never live it down.
