Revisiting History: The Unlikely Campaign to Vilify Winston Churchill

This has nothing to do with carpet bombing and your claim which was : "He pioneered carpet bombing in the middle East before exporting it to Europe." Dishonest debating and deliberate misinformation spreading -

No it does not, again your claim............... "He pioneered carpet bombing in the middle East before exporting it to Europe." Facts: One of the first attempts at carpet bombing was at the Battle of El Mazuco during the Spanish Civil War in 1937,[10][11] against widely-dispersed infantry on rocky slopes, and the attacking Condor Legion learned that carpet bombing was not very effective in such terrain. In March 1938, the Bombing of Barcelona saw Italian and German airstrikes killing up to 1,300 people and wounding 2,000. It is considered the first carpet bombing of a city,[12][failed verification] and set a precedent for several such bombings in World War II. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Carpet_bombing Enough of your deliberate misinformation -

Your quote in no way claims that, that's you claiming it. My link provides facts not your opinions. -
I am more than aware of that but it has nothing to do with my reply: In addition the majority of wounded were young teen men and Hezbollah themselves. Of the 4,000 reported Hezbollah operatives injured, only a handful of civilians were reportedly harmed. That is an extraordinary feat in modern warfare and the textbook definition of a precision and proportionate attack. Most of the 37 people killed are believed to have been fighters.

Civilians working for a terrorist organization. Really, what does that make them, they should know better than work for a genocidle terrorist group. "pagers and hand-held devices, which were distributed specifically to Hezbollah operatives, were being used for the purposes of communicating, planning and conducting operations. As such, they immediately ceased to be considered "civilian objects" and became legitimate military targets."

New Poll with surprising results. 49% of Russians support withdrawal of troops from Ukraine, poll says Nearly 50% of Russian people support withdrawing troops from Ukraine and negotiating for peace, even without achieving the Kremlin's military objectives, according to a joint survey conducted by independent pollsters ExtremeScan and Chronicles. The figures represent a striking shift from the overwhelming support for the war indicated by past polls. A February survey from the Levada Center, an independent Russian polling organization, found that 77% of Russians supported the full-scale war in Ukraine. According to polls conducted by ExtremeScan and Chronicles in September 2024, 49% of Russians support the immediate withdrawal of troops from Ukraine and peace talks with Kyiv, an increase of nearly 10% from the three previous polls held since February 2023. When asked about Ukraine's incursion into Kursk Oblast, respondents said it was more important to oust Ukrainian troops from Russian territory than to seize more ground in eastern Ukraine. https://kyivindependent.com/49-of-russians-support-withdrawal-of-troops-from-ukraine-poll-says/

Ukraine may be given private dispensation by the UK and US to fire long-range Storm Shadow missiles into Russia without making it public until the first one is fired. Western diplomats are poised to sign off on the decision but could hold back from making an official announcement at the UN next week. The Times understands there is wariness about publicising the move in advance to alert Russia. https://www.thetimes.com/uk/defence/article/us-uk-storm-shadow-missiles-ukraine-russia-mqg02nhsc https://archive.ph/kOw5A

A war against terrorists, yes of course you don't want that. For the third time this week, Israel has scored a major scalp: the killing of Ibrahim Aqil, a senior Hezbollah commander, and leader of the group's elite Radwan force. https://news.sky.com/story/top-hezbollah-commander-killed-in-israeli-strike-on-beirut-sources-tell-reuters-13218490 This senior Hezbollah leader was responsible for countless attacks including the bombing of the U.S. embassy in Beirut that killed 63 people. Of course I realize all these targeted strikes at the terrorists must all be a little overbearing for you.

What a sick comment, nobodies forgetting the innocent hostages still being held and abused in Gaza by the Hamas terrorists, the ones they've not murdered are still going through hell each day. Al Jazeera would not share this I'm sure..........and I know you prefer to constantly blame Netanyahu. Israel offers to end war, let Sinwar leave if all hostages freed at once, Gaza disarmed Israel has put a proposal on the table that would end fighting in the Gaza Strip and give the head of Hamas safe passage out of the enclave in exchange for the immediate release of all hostages held in Gaza, the demilitarization of the Strip and the establishment of an alternative governing power there, Kan news reported Thursday. An Israeli official confirmed the outlines of the report to The Times of Israel and said Gal Hirsch, the government point man on the hostages, had presented the plan to American officials, who were expected to pass it on to unspecified Arab officials. Hirsch told families of hostages that the proposal had been presented last week in a meeting with US officials from the White House and State Department, Kan said. https://www.timesofisrael.com/israel-offers-to-end-war-let-sinwar-go-if-all-hostages-freed-at-once-gaza-disarmed/ Kirby: Sinwar continues to be main obstacle to reaching a hostage release-ceasefire deal Responding to a Wall Street Journal report which alleged that a hostage-ceasefire deal was unlikely before the end of US President Joe Biden’s term in January, Kirby acknowledges that mediators are “no closer to achieving that than we were even a week or so ago” but vows that “ain’t nobody giving up.” https://www.timesofisrael.com/liveblog_entry/kirby-sinwar-continues-to-be-main-obstacle-to-reaching-a-hostage-release-ceasefire-deal/ "Today I met once again with families of hostages kidnapped and held by Hamas and other Palestinian armed groups in Gaza. One was the brother of a hostage Hamas recently killed. I listened to their heart-breaking testimonies of grief, pain and uncertainty. The UN stands with these families. The hostages must be released immediately and unconditionally." https://x.com/antonioguterres/status/1837263431730171931

He pioneered carpet bombing in the middle East before exporting it to Europe. Not true, the award for pioneering carpet bombing goes to the Spanish Civil war in 1937, quickly followed by the Italians and Germans bombing Barcelona which was actually considered to be the very first carpet bombing of a city. That was then followed by the Japanese bombing of China's wartime capital Chongqing. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Carpet_bombing So who was it again the that exported it to Europe? -
Strengthening Ukraine’s Defense: The Path to Lasting Peace
Bkk Brian replied to Social Media's topic in World News
Taking quotes from Jens Stoltenberg head of NATO then taking them out of context and jumbling the order of them up is more than misleading and forms the basis of his whole flawed opinion piece. How about Sachs shows some evidence of why he's right? -
Israel Hamas War the Widening Middle East Conflict
Bkk Brian replied to Social Media's topic in The War in Israel
IDF says warplanes hit more than 100 loaded Hezbollah rocket launchers Israeli fighter jets in the last several hours struck over 100 Hezbollah rocket launchers in southern Lebanon that were primed for immediate attacks on Israel, the military says. The IDF says that in total, the launchers included around 1,000 launch barrels. The strikes began this afternoon and were carried out in several waves. “The IDF continues to damage and degrade the terror capabilities and military infrastructure of the Hezbollah terror organization,” the military adds. https://www.timesofisrael.com/liveblog_entry/idf-says-warplanes-hit-more-than-100-loaded-hezbollah-rocket-launchers/ -
Israel Hamas War the Widening Middle East Conflict
Bkk Brian replied to Social Media's topic in The War in Israel
Of course rejected by Hamas as if they ever wanted another ceasefire/hostage release deal after they broke the only one had early Dec. They've been rejecting them ever since and even with this latest from Israel even the apologists cannot defend it, oh wait, I bet they will make a few attempts.......... “A single-stage deal that includes all 101 hostages is the wish of all Israeli citizens and the families of the hostages. The proposal strengthens security in Israel and makes it possible to reach a comprehensive regional settlement,” the Hostages and Missing Families Forum said in a statement." "Proposal, discussed in Washington recently, also stipulates new regime for Strip; hostages’ relatives hail plan, but Hamas official swiftly rejects it as ‘ridiculous’" Israel offers to end war, let Sinwar leave if all hostages freed at once, Gaza disarmed Israel has put a proposal on the table that would end fighting in the Gaza Strip and give the head of Hamas safe passage out of the enclave in exchange for the immediate release of all hostages held in Gaza, the demilitarization of the Strip and the establishment of an alternative governing power there, Kan news reported Thursday.
