What a great shock. It's almost like it was predicted on here yesterday.

You take your tractor nonsense to the Regional Roos thread, damn it!

which one, the 75hp or the 100?

What are you cutting lawns or something?

 

[ferball]

The devils shitfight campagners come into this thread, swamping our culture, drowning out traditional tractor and dimsim discussions because they ruined their own thread .

We were here originally. We're just taking back what God Mod gave us.

Israel continues its invasion of Syria claiming “security” reasons, reminiscent of Russia’s invasion of Ukraine in 2014. Israeli tanks are reported to be near Damascus. It has launched hundreds of attacks unprovoked and crippled much needed airbases / equipment...

Important context here; Israel has held the Golan Heights for 60 years.

Yeah, it's been 'disputed' territory with Syria that entire time, but Israel has been in control the entire time any of us have been alive. It's not 'new' territory they've just claimed this week.

There's been a lot of hyperbole about Israeli forces "near Damascus". Damascus is closer to the Israel border than Frankston is to Melbourne. That said, it is disappointing to see that Israel does appear to be over-extending around the buffer zone.

I really bloody hate Netanyahu and the far-right nationalist assholes in charge in Israel at the moment.

Did you just try and fact check the Prime Minister of Israels office?

you really love running with the foxes and hunting with the hounds when it comes to neo-cons don't you....

No, I was pointing out that people here (and the tweet quoting him) seem to be misunderstanding what he actually said.

Mate you're the only one actively celebrating Trump's cabinet picks. Take a step back lol.

Everyone completely understood what he said and the context of which he said it..

Cool. So you understand Israel controlling the Golan Heights is nothing new?

Good to know. Thanks.

I'll let you get back to trying to claim that mRNA vaccines are evil.

 

[DesertRoo]

Good to know. Thanks.

creating buffer zones that extend past the disputed areas is nothing new?
ok capt

 

[Bojan KantKick]

Cool. So you understand Israel illegally occupying the Golan Heights is nothing new?

Good to know. Thanks..

It was yesterday you were talking about buffer zones. Now they are well beyond this territory and purpose. They lied again. What a surprise.

 

[DesertRoo]

btw capt
this is the incoming hhs opinion.. going to be great when one of the most qualified people to go for the role is confirmed by the senate.
I doubt we'll have the issues of blank pages foia requests anymore.

Golan heights is a separate issue though. Let's remember the specific tweet that was posted by Val and that I was responding to;




Israel hasn't "annexed" anything - they already had this territory. It was behind the buffer zone the entire time.

See again, I think you are both getting confused here and conflating different scenarios.

Let me outline them so we're clear;

1) Israel has controlled Golan Heights for 60+ years. It was always 'disputed' by Syria, but hasn't been 'controlled' by Syria in that entire time. Netanyahu (who, I must stress; flipping sucks) has said that with the collapse of the Assad regime, Israel is once and for all stating that the Golan Heights are formally Israeli territory. To me, this is fine.

2) The DMZ "buffer zone" (which does not and has never included the Golan Heights) was previously controlled by the UN, with Israel controlling their side of the zone, and the (Assad) Syrian army controlling their side of the zone. Once the Syrian army withdrew because they were attacked on their side by Syrian rebels, the UN forces were then also attacked by the rebels. So, Israel took control of the 'buffer zone'. To me, this is fine.

3) There are reports that Israel has gone past the buffer zone - although at the moment these reports seem spotty and unconfirmed, let's assume they're accurate. To me, this is not fine.

Are we clear?

He's an absolute quack and just yet another example of woefully unqualified and disgusting nominees by the Elon/Trump administration.

Of course all the covid cooker/conspiracy nuts are celebrating his nomination though. Congratulations to you.

It's controlled rather than illegally occupied when Israel is involved eh. Of course it is fine for you.

Netanyahus words = annexation.

They are beyond the DMZ.

From what I understood from Capt’s arguments, times the issue, as long as Russia holds the Donbas for 60 years then it’s ok to be Russian?

So you agree that Russia should give back Crimea and the Donbas and all Eastern Ukranian territory?

I'm glad we're finally reaching some common ground!

So what's the acceptable timeline here 5, 10, 25 or 50 years?
