The story still stands. If it didn’t you wouldn’t even recognize Jesus’ name.

So “Yogi Adityanath, the hardline Hindu monk who is the chief minister of Uttar Pradesh” wants to enact racist policies in UP, but can’t seem to find his way to force men to stop raping/murdering women and children.

Hindu monk my ass.

The spoiled child of the middle east throwing a temper tantrum that has hurt people.

Now what will Biden do to reign in Bibi and his mercenaries?

2000 years ago he died for our sins on a cross. Why didn’t his story die with him? Because his death made him a martyr, and martyrs live forever.

The same will happen with Navalny and his ideology.

His sacrifice of his life means that his ideology and fight will live on in others who follow his footsteps.

How do you think Jesus became so well known?

The only thing necessary for the triumph of evil is that good men do nothing.

Navalny did something whether you approve of it or not.

There are three basic principles that continue to set UN peacekeeping operations apart as a tool for maintaining international peace and security.

These three principles are inter-related and mutually reinforcing:

-Consent of the parties
-Impartiality
-Non-use of force except in self-defence and defence of the mandate

… with troops obeying UN operational control

That says the UN controls the troops.

They are not an army, they are a peacekeeping force.

They are also under UN rules, not their own nation’s.

If the UN decides they can choose to stay or leave, that’s what happens.

That does not mean they work under military rules. They are under UN control, and the UN is a peacekeeping force. It is not a nation state military force.

The UN isn’t a military organization. It is a peacekeeping org and as such is not bound by the same operational rules as an army would be.

Because it’s their own life at stake and they should always have the choice.

Your lips are moving and you’re complaining.

But him knowing that and continuing to fight until his last breath is fucking amazing.

I’m pretty sure I couldn’t do the same.

I wonder if this is a warning shot over the IS militants’ bow to warn them off attacking Israel?

Then to be fair we should be backdating the fines for heavy polluters to when it first started, so the UK, Canada and the US pay our fair share of the cost.

There is a finite amount of H2O on earth, and climate change is altering weather patterns that used to be reliable. Increased evaporation in no way guarantees healthy ecosystems where humans can survive.

I didn’t say I hoped for it. Watching murder unfold is never something anyone should hope for.

I just offered a scenario where Israel crosses yet another line in the sand, as they have previously done over and over again, murdering journalists, UN workers, and NGO food/aid distributors.

The opposite side of that coin is what would happen if the IDF accidentally-on-purpose hits UNFIL with a missile or two.

The US would be caught between a rock and hard place, forcing it to choose the non-genocidal side.

So your point was that I conflated metrics but that had nothing to do with the OPs original post?
