https://www.pravda.com.ua/news/2023/11/17/7429286/ No more country wide air alarms over Mig-31s. Guess they took the latest news of the MiG-31s refueling as the Russians just flying them to screw with the Ukrainians.

https://www.timesofisrael.com/in-shift-israel-agrees-to-regularly-let-fuel-into-gaza-drawing-outrage-in-coalition/ They really need to give Gvir a rifle and send him in.

Sounds like they discovered a basement. Shame no drone footage, yet. Hopefully they use the F.E.A.R. OST

"Terror tunnel". Ah takes me back to the 9/11 days.

Oslo / Camp David are more relevant. Every dance needs two, Netanyahu's a great partner for that in how we got here.

Behold the rules based order. That seems a bit too brief for something not as simple as this. e.g. as a counterpoint - https://www.nytimes.com/2001/07/08/opinion/fictions-about-the-failure-at-camp-david.html?pagewanted= Arafat saw what happened to Rabin.

Was expecting some sort of vast underground complex.

Well they didn't do that in Al Shifa at least. Although they brought incubators even though the hospital has been stating they need fuel for a while. Here's hoping the IDF walkthrough video is better this time

Another question is who will be living there as well.

Oh ok, I thought he was some press officer or rear echelon guy, just thought they could have easily tapped some NCO and have him do it, even if he'll sound unpolished that'd add authenticity to the presentation. For what it's worth - https://www.nytimes.com/2023/11/14/world/hamas-hospitals-gaza-israel.html "Mr. Kirby declined to provide details about the U.S. intelligence, but he made clear that it goes beyond the information collected by the Israeli intelligence service. “It comes from a variety of intelligence methods — of our own, of our own,” he said, adding that the classification of the intelligence had been downgraded so that it could be shared publicly." Hm..

That video was an awkward production, the IDF guy looked unaccustomed to being in his kit (and wielding a rifle still for some reason).

https://english.elpais.com/international/2023-11-13/under-siege-on-the-ukrainian-front-line-of-avdiivka-russians-are-more-prepared-for-war-and-to-die.html Nothing too shocking, more dakka is needed, Death Korps of Kreig should have Russian themes, etc.

I am sure they'll find more Mein Kampfs, thus everything they do is justified to stop the Second Holocaust

Did the new WoW patch for a bit, the races were pretty fun this time around. Gearing my alts up a bit as well, new zone and hourly activity is an ok grind, murders my FPS though, alas my PC shows its age. Also trying to redo RT3...Orient Express campaign is hell, trying to get the speed goal requires competence in routing, which I lack

Hah, misread Bibi's statement and thought he meant Palestinian return, not the Palestinian Authority's return. https://www.axios.com/2023/11/11/gaza-palestinian-authority-control-netanyahu-hamas-war

I said here, not in the UK. Probably is the same bit of empty theater, rattle on about our glorious dead, love veterans for 20-30 minutes then move on. Or treat the poppy like some loyalty badge. But protesting today is fine, as long as like every other protest, you're protesting rather than just wrecking things. So far seems ok, they (gasp) covered a cenotaph with a Palestine flag. A lot of counter protesters being arrested, 92 so far? https://www.bbc.co.uk/news/live/uk-67390343 In stuff more important than disrespecting a day :

Well, not really, that is what you did today/yesterday

Have dueling Israeli and Palestine flags flying in my neighbourhood, luckily have renewed home insurance with better provider. Should ask them where do they buy these flags, usually.

What's the problem with it being today? Would think Armistice Day would be an anti war day. Here it's a wannabe US style military wankfest though.

https://apnews.com/article/israel-hamas-photographers-attack-200be1ba47361f1c1fc113cdaeb65d04 "The report by the group HonestReporting, however, had serious ramifications at a time of war. It led two Israeli politicians to suggest the journalists be killed. Several of the world’s biggest news organizations — CNN, The New York Times, The Associated Press and Reuters — issued statements Thursday denying they knew about the attack ahead of time." The name alone should have set off alarms

They should make all the Marines pitch in for a gift.

I doubt Trump would win, hate is a powerful motivator and people will fear his return even if the alternative is Biden. I may be wrong though. But even if he is there, I can't see him resisting pressure from the DOD and others if NATO is tested and the US flinches, easy sell for his needy ego to make him look like some fantasy of Reagan, defending the free world, etc. etc. May be a moot point to mention him anyway - Russia's not going to be able to mount operations for a long while as sanctions aren't going anywhere NATO's air power is greater than Russia's, their intelligence is better as well.
