Star Wars: Far Far Away From What You Want It To Be
Jace, Extat replied to SpaceChampion's topic in Entertainment
Oh gawd, I'd forgotten about Karpyshyn. I was thinking more of the post-RoTJ ones, though I won't pretend I didn't read the Darth Bane book... -
Watch, Watched, Watching: Anybody but Superman
Jace, Extat replied to Veltigar's topic in Entertainment
That's darling, I watched it on Friday night after work. I had a fit imaging Theron and Hardy sitting there, despising each other. -

One day I'm gonna reread the old EU. Warts and all, it was crafted by people who loved Star Wars. A type of artistic innocence I fear we've lost in our culture. -
NFL 2024: It's Draft Season You Sandbagging SOBs

Agreed, that's a catastrophic misallocation of resources. That said, I can't believe he's only 29! -

The Last Jedi is the only one of the sequels that I might ever watch again. It's visually engaging, at least. The story is pretty trash, but the Kylo-Rey fight against the red guards is pretty cool. -
Israel should have done more to get people into UN run aid areas, and weathered the infiltration of bad actors. This was made impossible for a variety of reasons, and I know several hundred thousand civillians have been directed out of Rafa in the last weeks. But Israel's lack of preperation for how to handle the civillian population of Gaza is a human tragedy.

Treatments for trans children and politics, world-wide
Jace, Extat replied to Ormond's topic in General Chatter
... Long live the King. -
No, no, no... Jordan is not Israel. Israel is more than an ally-able piece of geography. Israel has acting power. You don't trade away a relationship with a world actor. Irreplaceable. Much more useful than France or the Saudis. Are you asking, like what I'd do if I was in charge of Israel? What I'd advise? Oh come now darling, don't speak so sweetly about me; I'm like to swoon.

Gaza is and will be a ruin. The area will have to be occupied indefinitely by Israel, and all UN aid must be managed then dispensed by Israel. They will have to build and back a local government as rebuilding takes place, with say a 50 year plan to empower this government towards statehood. I mean it's not what I would do, but I'm a monster.

Executions! Iron maidens! And for whoever is left, put them to the question! They'll beat the curve with just a taste of The Rack! -
One war at a time my dear. Hamas in Gaza is being dealt with now, their ability to conduct another Oct. 7th attack is being destroyed. A sword removed from the hand of Iran. Once the southern and northern borders are secure, Gaza under military control, strikes on Iran's nuclear facilities can begin in earnest.

'Aight... I feel like this is implicit in the goal of eradicating Hamas- Israel will resume military control of Gaza. I suppose they could declare such intention now, but doesn't refraining from stating such as policy give other states the opportunity to step up and propose administration of Gaza? The U.N. itself, perhaps? Disagree, the policy expectation is clear: Remove Hamas control of Gaza as fast as possible as practically as possible. Acceptance of cost is clear: whatever it takes. The exit strategy is obvious. Elimination of Hamas' operational capacity in Gaza. ... I'll get to the second category at my leisure.

Kal, what the fuck are you trying to say here? Hamas, the organization -the structure of the thing- is IN GAZA. It will be eradicated as a functioning entity. Hamas' leadership being abroad is a continued problem, but Hamas' leadership being abroad with their organization intact is a much bigger problem and one that can be addressed by fighting Hamas where it is... in Gaza.
