And I would support dropping that bomb again under the same circumstances. Or against any other target ordered by the President.
this is why western feminists don't even bring up the suffering these women go though in that country, because they don't have a fucking clue what to say or suggest about their plight, and can only target soft targets in their own western country.

What do you want western feminists to do? What
can they do?
They are foreign and have no influence over Syria. Not any foreigners, but western foreigners -- you know, the type that ISIL considers an enemy.
Have you stopped for a minute to think that ISIL may punish Syrian women as retribution for western feminists speaking about the plight of Syrian women?
It is Syrian women -- and men -- who must rise up against ISIL.

And they do, with Asad and Putin's assistance. It is NATO that is playing Hydra.

Just saw this now for some reason. I would support dropping that bomb on that city again. But why no other target? Just curious....................
Being hit by a bomb or incendiaries in London Blitz was no fun either. Like I point out ... I care about my enemy. Fortunately I don't also have to knock sense into my allies.
Why no other target? Almost all other Japanese cities had already been attacked by the US with bombs and incendiaries. A few cities were saved, for later demonstration reasons, but ones that weren't militarily important, or they would have to be attacked earlier. Brits preferred to incinerate Germans, Americans preferred to incinerate Japanese. The Germans had it coming. The Japanese had if coming from China et al ... and we were acting on their behalf. This creates a conundrum ... the Chinese didn't have the satisfaction of killing Japanese on the home islands, just at home in China. They still want to go kill Japanese.

That makes sense. And the Koreans aren't real happy with the Japanese, either.

Koreans have been kicked around by China and Japan for centuries ... mostly by China. The Japanese royal family has partial Korean blood ... they finally had to admit that just in the last few years.

The early first intervention of Japan in China was to defend the Paekche Korean kingdom against China ... but they arrived too late, and their navy was destroyed by China. Much later, Hideyoshi, the Shogun, tried to conquer Korea from China in 1592 - 1598 ... but he failed. Japan did finally manage to occupy Korea 1911-1945.
Mark Zukerberg the founder of Facebook said that ISIL can be defeated with love.
He should be on a plain to Raqqa and do some serious loving.
Post it on Facebook, Mark.

QuoteWhat do you want western feminists to do? What can they do?
Be silent and listen when people rightly call out a misogynistic culture, and with that hopefully gain some perspective and an understanding that they have completely lost their moorings as a liberal.

What are the options then? Ignore the problem and pretend it's not happening because its futile apparently? I dont like where this is going.
QuoteHave you stopped for a minute to think that ISIL may punish Syrian women as retribution for western feminists speaking about the plight of Syrian women?
I thought you said they have no influence, so how can their speaking out compound the problem?
I'm sorry, but I really dont like where this is going.

That's easy for you to say.
