Daan

It deserves persecution, but it does not alter the statistics of in which (needlessly imported) demographic this type of crime is concentrated. See the recent events in Germany, same mistake, same problem. Furthermore, it does not improve the behaviour of the UK institutions around the Rudakubana case.

The discussion about Amazon and knives is a silly diversion by the establishment trying to smear the blame on some evil corporate entity, is it not? What would be an alternative sources of knives? Given that knives that common tools, perhaps the nearest kitchen or shed? Technically, one does not even need a special instrument to kill a small child. In the absence of a knife, a hammer, screwdriver, table leg, brick or his bare hands would have perfectly sufficed. The suspect being 'Welsh' reminded me of this cartoon:

Overview of new things coming in the future, apparently many full fidelity aircraft in the works. MiG-29, EF-2000, C-130, F-14D, F-15C, F-100 and even a F-35A. Given life right now, I have no time to play though.

I would caution to take any estimate larger than the numbers of Hamas's health ministry itself as being close to factual. The Lancet is a vehicle for the fashionable left-wing political activism of its boomer editor Richard Horton, which has resulted in various scandals over the years. A brief summary is given here. During the US occupation of Iraq, the journal also published a study claiming huge casualty numbers, that was subsequently criticized and ridiculed. While this new study will undoubtedly be celebrated by the press, it is probably better to wait for the critical reception of this paper.

There was no tacit gentlemen's understanding between Israel and Syria regarding Israeli air strikes on Iranian assets. It was simply a matter of capability and managing unwanted escalations. Syria did resist Israeli areal incursions and strikes as much it could. However, its capability to act effectively had been degraded by its relative prior economic and military decline, the later civil war and repeated Israeli strikes on its air defense systems. Israel never conducted strikes 'occasionally' inside Syria, but instead conducted many thousands of air strikes during the Civil War. This X thread on discovered documents of the Assad regime dispel the myth of any sort of 'agreement': ongoing conflict, repeated threats of escalation. https://x.com/hxhassan/status/1866489632747082144?s=46

Anecdotes that disprove your statement about Syrian non-interference. The Syrian air defenses undertook action repeatedly against Israeli strikes on various Iranian assets, which itself provoked contingent strikes on these air defense systems. In the course of these events a S-200 missile even landed on Cyprus and another blotted a Russian Il-20 out of the air.

Israel released footage from its strike on the Syrian Osa class missile boats in Latakia:

Actually, Syrian air defenses did react to the Israeli incursions, downing a F-16I several years ago with a S-200 missile, which subsequently crashed in Israel proper. FWIW, supposedly Turkish troops in NW Syria. https://x.com/BabakTaghvaee1/status/1866488082624655864

Persistent rumors on the internet that some small Russian garrisons have not managed to get out in time and are stuck in unfriendly territory. What is your take on that, Roman?
