You can't compare the French Resistance and Hamas. The French Resistance did not target babies. Hamas are a bunch of cynical monsters. Silly comparison, and not that I excuse Hamas's actions, the French resistance was for 3 or 4 years. Palestine was under Ottoman rule for centuries, then the "West"...

My point is that Message, and others using the same rethoric, are tying the life of innocent civilians to the behavior of a terrorist group. You'll continue to die until these terrorists lay down their arms.... I can only assume none of your family was in the French Resistance? I'm not in any way j...

It would have stopped before it started if Hamas laid down their arms, surrendered and released the hostages. Well... now... Hamas and moral in the same sentence... and you don't see the problem?

The biggest risk of a large scale mobilisation (200-300k or more) is the catastrophic effect it would have on the Russian labour market. Unemployment is at an all-time low, and is also disproportionately worse outside of the large metropolitan areas. Regions like the northwest and the far east have...

Waves after waves of missiles and drones hitting critical infrastructure. Ukraine is really struggling at the moment.

In parallele, the parliament doesn't manage to agree on mobilization. Unless there is a major shift in US support and Ukraine mobilization, the summer could be very difficult.

Bleeding Russia has been a win. The US security guarantee has taken a reputational hit, though. At the cost of a generation of young Ukrainian men.

Funny that Russell has done ok again.

The difference between drivers is negligible. It's 99.95% the car.

It seems that Hamilton isn't very good at giving useful feedback for his teams to fine-tune the car.

A minor quibble. Like failing to heed the warning about an imminent attack from the Yanks in the first place.
