The only thing Hamas has achieved is the destruction of Gaza, BUT maybe Gaza was only a pawn is a bid to unite the Arab world in the total destruction of Israel, Russia will support the Arab States as they will effectively be at war with the West and have most of the oil Russia may then commit all their forces to crush Ukraine, then Poland and the Balkans and possibly Germany, Italy and Greece would be helpless victims and the world would then hold its breath waiting for America to commit to a war in Europe without using Nuclear weapons or just say not our problem any more China could unite with Russia to take out Japan in retaliation for WW11 or sit on the sidelines and pick over the bones when it is all over We all know what North Korea will do in the middle of all this carnage If one nutter pushes a red button then the world will be a desolate wasteland inhabited by a few mutant humans and million of cockroaches, the world will heal itself in a few thousand years but there will probably be nothing to say what existed here in our current era
So what you're saying is the end of days comes true. Looks like the Christians, Jews, and Muslims were right all along. Unity at last.
It's all madness at the moment and yes I can only assume lots of political agendas behind it. It was certainly an organised attack on Israel, that Festival Party wasn't just stumbled on, they knew it was there and they purposely targeted. I've heard or read narratives about Saudi getting too close to Israel, but in honesty I don't have a clue what any of that means. Then we have the mess in Ukraine, that don't look like ending any time soon, but as we move into autumn/winter tactics and momentum will change. Then to add to all of the above, more trouble in the old Yugoslavia brewing, the world is a mess and those in power need their fooking heads banging together. I'm getting old and even at my age, I find it even more senseless young people being slaughtered, if you support any part of the above from either side of the conflicts, then you are the problem (not meaning you Duggie lol). So I don't give a shhite if someone is your brother, it's certainly not something to celebrate, killing leads to more killing, revenge leads to more revenge, yes I'm angry about it, but that's because I'm sick of the stupidity of humans.
If we went to the pub for a pint, I'd probably have to pull the revolver out and shoot you, then Trebs would shoot me in revenge, Duggie would just sup his pint wondering what that was about, then a stranger like Comm would walk in and go full tonto and shoot anyone still alive, just like how the world works.
No, it used to until someone topped the guy who used to drink it, I think some guy called Pinkie pushed him down the cellar and hid the body up. I think he did it to steal the guys weed.
At the end of WW11 Palestine was effectively a British protectorate dating back to WW1 Britiain actually stopped ships taking Jewish refugees to Israel because we were protecting the Palestinians but we were outvoted by America and the rest of Europe One of the guys I worked with 40 years ago hated Israel because he was posted there as an 18 yr old conscript to protect the Palestinians and his best mate from school and friends from his unit went missing on a night patrol, they found them the next morning hanging from lampposts The leader of the terrorist group responsible was elected as the first President of Israel; The situation there is the most complicated in the entire planet, the West still has guilt over Germany killing six million Jews so they side with Israel but they need to all side with the Arab States because of the oil What seems to be forgotten tho is that Russia killed more Polish people than the Germans and possibly twice as many Jews but they were on the same side as us fighting Germany so all glossed over If the wars in Ukraine and Gaza get out of hand then the consequences will be something we cant even begin to imagine Makes you wonder if they are linked by design or just bad timing
I'm sure he's going to have a few tales to tell when he eventually turns up mate. I know the other Sunderland lad (Roger) went to Thailand to build some house, so it wouldn't surprise me to know Comm has joined him.
