    I agree. Rogan had a knowledgable guy on the show with them that raked them over the coals. Good entertainment. I was happy to see Vijaya Gadde get her ass fired.

    On the Biden crime family stuff, I have a fairly low bar to take interest in it. At a minimum your self described star witness can't open up his testimony with there's nothing here.

    Sounds like they are having to do a lot of due diligence on whether it will work or not.

    It wouldn't be a small thing. What I am sitting here wondering with Russia is how they define a war crime. Because these tunnels are certainly military in nature and military targets. Water contamination and water infrastructure damage also occurs with conventional warfare of all types (for example, bombs). So why are they saying pumping seawater is a war crime but laying mines in fields isn't?

    That makes me think that Russia thinks it could cripple Hamas. Russia wants this to drag along as long as possible to take attention and resources away from Ukraine.

    I agree with this and Zehr's comment.

    Further contaminating a contaminated water supply is one thing, but salting land, potentially drowning hostages and other negative unintended consequences make it a hard call. War sucks.

    I think Russia is trying to look out for the Palestinians.

    I think there is an element of this that is also engineering/physics but with an unknown: how fast do you need to add water for it to be effective, vs how fast is too fast to where you aren't giving any time for evac. I think that may be part of the consideration. I also think the answer is to do a ramp-up. Start out with enough coming in to make someone sweat, and increase every 30 minutes.

    No more than Hamas is. They don't really give a shit. See: Syria.

    Refused to unequivocally condemn calling for the genocide of jews? That's not an accurate recounting.

    It was bad enough a donor was going to pull a 100 million dollar gift. She got tossed out with the trash basically.

    Maybe the falsehoods being repeated aren't helping.

    People watched it so they know what was said.
