When will the West stop pandering the Israeli government?
(Message 2134129)
Posted 29 days ago by Gary Charpentier Post: *moral.... because there will only be losers, losses and suffering for both sides.Hamas and Zionists enter one man leaves. This is the only solution. They have to be left alone without any outside attempts to impose peace to fight until one side or the other finally begs mercy. https://www.google.com/search?client=firefox-b-1-e&q=two+men+enter+one+man+leaves#fpstate=ive&vld=cid:55fba676,vid:pmRAiUPdRjk,st:0 |

Posted 29 days ago by Gary Charpentier Post: That's why I have to disagree again. It was solely Hamas' decision to declare war on Israel on Oct 7thSimply another battle in a war that has been continuous for several decades. Or do you forget the near daily rockets shot across the line of forces, the naval blockade of the coastline? Same in Korea. If Kim tomorrow decides to invade the South and 1,000 dead lie on the streets, then Kim would have been started a war exactly at this dateIn the case of Korea formal declarations of war still exist and the armistice did not end that war. |

Posted 20 Mar 2024 by Gary Charpentier Post: This war started at Oct 7th.29 October 1956 might be a better start date. Then again how many armistices have there been versus how many actual peace treaties? How many were left not signing? The issue is the arms suppliers impose stop shooting on the parties but the conflict remains and as long as it does the fighting will resume. |

Posted 19 Mar 2024 by Gary Charpentier Post: As NY begins to seize assets poor Donnie boy will start owing huge piles of capital gains taxes to the IRS, State of NY and NYC. Those poor mortgage holders will get their share. The IRS and NY tax liens will get their share. A lot more buildings will have to be sold to pay those taxes thus exploding the tax bill even more. Perhaps when the last bit of Rump is sold off he might get enough for a Covfefe! |

Posted 19 Mar 2024 by Gary Charpentier Post: low altitude when the pilot has to fear anti-aircraft fire.What anti-aircraft fire? Perhaps that should have been a huge alarm bell ringing in the pilot's head. [back to topic:]The IDF accidently shot some of the Israeli hostages who freed themselves and walked out to the IDF. So, there's something wrong with IDF's orders or the rules of engagement.obvious And there's clearly something wrong with Hamas ignoring all a century old rules and customs of war. That is: combatants have to wear clearly identifiably[sic] uniforms.Israel does not believe Hamas is a country as does most of the rest of the world and as far as I can find those rules of war only apply to countries.* If Israel were to recognize Hamas domestically all hell would break out and internationally Israel would be unquestionably guilty of war crimes. If Israel had to positively identify if a shadow was non-combatant, friend or foe before firing it would cost Israel a lot of soldiers, however that is what the Hague convention requires. Perhaps if you can't pay the price you shouldn't start a war. In any case as Hamas isn't recognized as a country, being smart, they don't wear uniforms to fight costing Israel public opinion and public opinion is a legitimate weapon of war. *Privateers certainly did not obey them, even when they had backing of Sovereigns. Nor do they today off Somalia. Neither Israel or Hamas have signed the 1907 Hague conventions. [aside]US and Brittan firebombings of WWII, both of which had signed Hague, was "justified" on four reasons. 1) There was at least one war material factory in the city destroyed. 2) The residents were paying taxes and however indirect thus were waging war. 3) Some residents worked at the war material factory. 4) expediency to end the conflict. Historians will for the next millennia debate if the justifications were real or sufficient. As the Allies were the victors they got to write the history and decide if any charges were to be made. In the case of Germany, in light of the Holocaust one could advance the argument that the rules of war needed to be discarded to end the crime against humanity. In the case of Japan only a very thin case could be made on the basis of their self declared intention to fight to the last man; to make them stare in the face exactly what that declared intention would look like. |

Posted 17 Mar 2024 by Gary Charpentier Post: Hamas say over 6,000 of its men have dies and over 70% of the total are women and children, this would mean there are no civilian men casualties.And this is in line with Benji's thinking that there are no male civilians in Gaza and all are Hamas. |

Posted 17 Mar 2024 by Gary Charpentier Post: The Israeli attack certainly was. There is no question they intended to fire and they hit what they aimed at.Isrrial has a lomg history of attacking the US.This post is misleading. Intentional? IIRC and it has been a lot of years, reports from then were that the Israeli aircraft approached close enough they had to have seen the US flag flying from the ship. No one is saying what the orders were, but I suspect they were of the kind, it is moves kill it. Essentially the same orders that Benji has given the IDF today as to Gaza. I also think that the political higher ups just issued a bungled order and assumed the IDF knew enough without being explicitly told don't shoot if it is our allay. One has to be very explicit in giving orders to warriors. |

Boeing: Profits 1st, Safety 2nd? (Part 3)
(Message 2133947)
Posted 16 Mar 2024 by Gary Charpentier Post: Is the union for United mechanics negotiating a new contract? There are some possibilities. 1) FOD damage e.g. something tossed up by a tire on the takeoff roll 2) Forgot to put the screws in 3) Screws backed out due to vibration 4) Metal fatigue 5) Wrong screws If the screws are missing then 2 or 3 are the prime culprits. If there are still parts of the panel under the screws then 1 or 4 are the prime culprits. 5 becomes obvious if a wrong one is on the plane. Some combination of all the above. Fortunately a very non-critical part of the skin. Only effect would be to burn a little more jet A. |

Forensic evidence, prints, spray patterns, telephone logs, associate and friend interviews? The list will be very long. After all Putin's friends keep walking out of windows several stories high. |
