The illegal occupation has been going for decades. Yes, there is a lot of individual political events.

But I don't see how a macro analysis can end any ways other than "shits happened during this colonization of Palestine; Israel, UK and US are to blame for most evil shit".

I can concede that the conflict can present "complex" at first glance due to some Palestinians taking arms and themselves doing some heinous acts.

But this is all downstream of an illegal occupation by Israel. This conflict really isn't that complex. End the illegal occupation, then you can reasonably expect violent resistance to die down and to talk your way through it.

I did reference their operations in the south china sea, though.

You can argue about creeping boat operations in its own sea,

Did China invade any of those countries? Are they at war with any of the other country?

Since you are referencing a specific incident, it would appear you are more familiar with it than me, and I will yield the opportunity to explain it.

My post is very clear. China has no history of oversea military operation. You can argue about creeping boat operations in its own sea, but there is no reasons for us to get in a military conflict with China. I follow up the point with an actual credible threat that is more worthy of discussion than a country is 1. distant & 2. that got a massive economy without getting into any wars.

You're not making any point here, just crying whataboutism.

Explain to me what is "whataboutism" here.

I don’t really give a fuck about someones imperialist feelings at that point.

Then why are you trying to defend NATO?

You’re only really opposed to an alliance hostile to you invading them if you plan to invade them

Do you understand the concept of encirclement?

[–] Kinperor@lemmy.ca -2 points 2 months ago (2 children)

Childishly inadequate comparison.

There's a world of difference between domestic abuse, and allowing an hostile alliance to encircle your country.

Furthermore, I recommend listening to the interview I linked above: Ukraine and Russia had a bilateral agreement together, that Ukraine broke. This is according to a french former monitor of the OSCE.

"I'm very concerned about my surgery, is the surgeon very talented?"

"Oh, he fucks"

"You mean that figuratively? As in, he's very good at what he does?"

"..."

La situation est plus fachante que les propos tres peu inflamatoire de la journaliste. Comme si cela n'alimentait pas la rhetorique des vrai anti-semite.

 

Hi woodworkers

I've recently picked up a few tools to get into artisanal woodwork, and I want to do 1 or 2 projects that entails hollowing out natural branches.

The "perfect" outcome would be something similar to bamboo shoot, which have a narrow edge and hollow center. I'm not really expecting to be able to do this by hand with millimetric accuracy, but it gives you an idea of what I'm aiming for.

I own a high-speed rotary tool that is "technically" able to carve wood, but the bits I own atm are more of a finish toolkit. I successfully used a sanding head to carve out some wood, but I don't think it's remotely optimal for projects any bigger than what I was working on.

So all this context leads to this question: What would be the optimal tool to efficiently hollow out a branch? I can't reliably use a drill, because there's no certainty that the branches I'll work with will be remotely straight, I'm guessing that a mill file could get me some mileage but it sounds like a last resort kind of tool.
