Ukraine is a proxy war (for usa interests), israel is a genocidal ally (as it’s acting in its own interests). Both would fold without USA support, but I think they are somewhat different. Ukraine wouldn’t dare to shit on usa, or do something against usa word, and they perform their politics completely dependent on usa. Israel acts and behaves with much more impunity, and its alignment with usa interests is very meh

Why does french regime host olympics, a way of bringing attention to their country, while they have post-fascist party nearly winning elections, suppressing indigenous kanak movements, taking political prisoners, brutalizing protestors, and authoritarian president passing laws by fiat? real 1936 vibes

One may never know.

sami occupier says what?

is hochstein's unparalleled advice the reason?

More to the point, its extremely normal to have foreign military officers to be advisors, i'm sure they won't carry any bias whatsoever in their advice. In fact usa should hire more saudi and foreign legion officers to get more brilliant opinions how to kill civilians to get resources

How good was his advice to foreign affairs committee in the years 1994-2001, and how unbiased he is now

Hochstein was born in Israel, the child of American Jewish immigrants. A dual U.S.-Israel national, he served in the Israeli Defense Forces as a tank crewman prior to moving to Washington. He was a foreign policy adviser to Democratic Party members of the U.S. government House Foreign Affairs Committee from 1994 to January 2001

Really makes you think

i've posted about it 3 days ago, when sources were 3 crank sites. The contract doesn't have expiration date that i can find. 50 years has passed, that much is true, but now its allegedly ended (??). Where on earth they got idea the contract was for 50 years to a day, i have no idea.

soap allows to dissolve fats in small droplets of soap (micelles). Surface tension arises from affinity to the surface, like oil still doesn't like teflon pans, despite being hydrophobic. So no, you can't find one size fits all liquid. (Aside from supercritical fluids, but they require pressures - and sometimes are used in dry cleaning! so this might be your answer)
