Bit unfair really, DPRK spends their money in a way EU citizens wouldn't enjoy. Also stretching the "we" there, hah. Keep seeing anecdotal moaning about lack of artillery and mortar ammo in Avdiivka though

Well Hamas have a bizarre relationship with morals, so I don't expect much from them. Even if they did I don't think Israel would agree - don't negotiate with terrorists - and invade anyway. International pressure matters not as the US is always going to back them (I guess the US vassal, the UK as well). At least the UN bickering continues - https://www.washingtonpost.com/national-security/2023/10/25/israel-gaza-russia-us-united-nations/

Reminds me of But nah, just applies to uncool kids. The others enter a realm of greyness and nuance.

Was just an amusing story and an overreaction in my eyes

https://www.theguardian.com/world/2023/oct/25/israel-says-it-will-ban-un-staff-after-secretary-generals-comments "Speaking at a UN general debate on the Middle East in New York, Guterres created fury when he said: “It is important to … recognise the attacks by Hamas did not happen in a vacuum. The Palestinian people have been subjected to 56 years of suffocating occupation.” He also said no injustice to the Palestinians could justify the appalling attacks by Hamas. Israel’s ambassador to the UN, Gilad Erdan, said on army radio: “Due to his remarks we will refuse to issue visas to UN representatives. We have already refused a visa for undersecretary general for humanitarian affairs, Martin Griffiths. The time has come to teach them a lesson.”

It was just a feint.

Each day I ask myself, what would Ja think.

So, wait, is it an FPS ?

https://barackobama.medium.com/my-statement-on-israel-and-gaza-a6c397f09a30 Seems like usual platitudes, but figure it might be an interesting share.

New D4 season is fun, the Bloodtides always give you something to do, also nice that World Bosses appear more frequently. Trying a ranged rogue, but the call of Flurry is too strong.

They sure freak out over nothing much here

One of the rules in the rules based order.

Convenient.

Go to grocery A, buy 12 of an item. Go to grocery B and see item on sale for $1.50 less each. Unable to properly articulate the rage I experienced

Wonder how long until IDF intelligence claims Hamas is seizing the 12 trucks and JDAMs them.

The permanent members are all hypocrites, though, so guess no point in doing that.

Watching more Russian dubs of Star Wars films, as I have the lines near memorized it's great practice

Clever approach to market Ukraine aid as an indirect stimulus for the US economy, heh. Rest of the speech was eh. I was puzzled at people praising it, but remembered a lot are just Slava Ukraini types, hah. https://www.nytimes.com/2023/10/19/us/politics/transcript-biden-speech-israel-ukraine.html

That's bold of them to try it at that distance

Fun day at work when a mission critical server is identified as compromised for some reason and blacklisted from network. Then everyone who logged in to check the issue is also blacklisted. Obviously our security team is led by Ripley

Avoids enraging their people further. If you're mad about Gaza, having the US president freshing from fluffing Bibi visit isn't going to enhance your calm. Besides any real work is done by lower level people, I think, before hand. But at least some aid will get in, conditional on Hamas not seizing it. Which will be observed and proven by Israel or the US I suppose. https://www.theguardian.com/world/2023/oct/19/gaza-aid-rafah-crossing-joe-biden-israel-egypt-agreement

US isn't really a fair mediator being a solid ally to Israel, though. And makes sense, given the rage that explosion provoked
