You’re right it was probably higher

War from heresy

Gaza exports food and other products. Gazans regularly leave. The bombings are much more focused than that(edit: and are indeed disproportionate, since they were not enough to remove the threat). And the hate predates all of this.

My brain cell just exploded

They're not. They're calling for AUKUS to add new members. Sky just doesn't understand what fucking AUKUS is, which is just such a shocker to literally no one

Unfortunately no mechanism exists in NATO to put Turkey “on notice” for the bullshit it’s pulling

So basically Croatia won’t be asking for help in the event of Russian aggression? Cool, got it.

Yes we have, sort of. Finland was colonised and belonged to Sweden for 600 years, until we essentially lost it to russia. After the russian revolution Finland was independent.

Swedish influence was a big part of Finnish history and I’d like to think that our relationship has been very good at least since after the Finnish civil war and through Sweden coming to Finland’s aid during WW2.

In any case, if you want our troubled relationship that has been anything but nice - look west, to the bloody Danes!

Except he really hasn’t sown any discord between NATO allies. He just distanced Turkey from the rest of the alliance.

Never! Unthinkable! Maybe! Just a little! Absolutely!

Does the Mossad work in anyone else's interest other than Israel?

Russia is aware that they are not capable of taking On the entire world. Putin’s actions are never going to be normal in this world. Russia and Ukraine are paying dearly in lives and property.

Israel treats Gaza like an open air prison, preventing them from trading or using the sea for commerce. And if one idiot fires a scud missle over the wall Israel responds with disproportionate bombing raids that destroy entire neighborhoods.

It's not hard to see why people living in the Gaza strip hate Israel.

Classic Germany. Meanwhile the US, the UK and France are thinking about fighter jets.

"Britain has called for an overseeing body similar to NATO to ensure security in the Indo-Pacific."

And thus by uttering the magic words calmness had spread in the region

Did exiting Gaza and giving it over to the Palestinians in 2005, a full two years before the wall went up, help lower tensions?

The Israelis remember those two years. Constant explosions everywhere. On busses, in cafes, malls, and schools. They removed the settlers, withdrew the army, and gave the people of Gaza exactly what you're suggesting, but tensions increased, not the other way around.

The only way you believe tensions decrease is if you either don't remember 2005-2007, or if you somehow believe that an organization that doesn't recognize Israel and has a charter dedicated to freeing the land from the river to the sea is somehow going to change its MO because you feel like they should. Same goes for the Islamic jihad or the other small offshoots.

I doubt the people of Israel will ever fall for that again, much as we might want them to.

This is me being surprised they Sky's "journalists" lack any understanding of what AUKUS is 😐. It's not a Pacific NATO in the slightest bit. It's far more akin to a modern era Manhattan Project, where the members pool their money and brains for a cutting edge weapons system. UK is suggesting India and Japan join said R&D team. They're not suggesting a Pacific NATO, Sky dreamed that moronic line themselves
