@Knutson41 @Jiggser @KurtSchlichter Jesus Christ you’re dense. It was a reply to a comment made that NATO was purely a defensive alliance. Libya was clearly - obviously - not a defensive situation, no matter what body sanctioned it.

The Europeans are not dealing with “a man.” They are dealing with the United States of America. The United States needed the most innocuous kind of cooperation from them. They denied the United States that cooperation. The implied argument is that their obligations within our alliance depend on whether they like the guy we chose as our president. “Sure, we’re allies…if we approve of who you elected.” Nope. We are not going to forget, and we’re not going to forgive. I’m indifferent to their excuses or their rationalizations. The United States of America needed their help and not very much help. They turned us down. That changes everything. And they aren’t going to like how it changes everything.
Gerard Baker@gerardtbaker

The casuistry here is remarkable. This is the simple reality: Like most Americans, most Europeans think this war is a bad idea.Their governments are being asked to take a huge risk by a man who has proved unreliable, volatile and intemperate over and over. Who would do that?

It’s crucial that all of us in the West never forget how thin the veneer of civilization truly is Western civilization is built on the tenets of classical liberalism…but it’s precisely these values we live by that make us vulnerable to those who do not reciprocate our tolerance
Tim Soret@timsoret

As a European, I apologize to Americans for all the idiocy coming from our side. You save your pilots no matter the cost. You send humans to the moon. You fight authoritarianism head-on. It's truly inspiring. We're on the wrong side of the moral equation.

@QandO @Jiggser @KurtSchlichter It's an intervention on the initiative of the UN, which is the key detail, that OP also mentioned in his second comment. The goal was to protect civilians so the operation was also in its nature defensive. Do you recognize that this is different from the Iran war today?

@Knutson41 @Jiggser @KurtSchlichter NATO as an alliance chose to become a part of an obviously offensive plan to attack Libya. Obviously. That puts lie to the claim, made by the person I was addressing, that NATO is purely a "defensive" alliance.

@QandO @Jiggser @KurtSchlichter Could you try dealing with the fact that the purpose of the intervention was to enforce a UN (not NATO) resolution as opposed to the US illegally attacking Iran now. The NATO-led coalition was acting on behalf of the UN. You have yet to explain how these cases are equal

@Jiggser @Knutson41 @KurtSchlichter I think you need a refresher. NATO willingly chose (by vote) to get involved offensively in the Libyan affair. It's all over the NATO website. You may want to take a look. Again the claim addressed was 'NATO is purely "defensive" in nature'.

@QandO @Jiggser @KurtSchlichter There's no pretending. The military intervention in Libya was based on a UN mandate which isn't the case here. How do you even compare the two

@Jiggser @KurtSchlichter But what threat was Libya to NATO? You're into pure rationalization attempting to pretend somehow Libya was "authorized" for NATO but somehow Iran isn't? Silly.

@CryptoSuit21 @PKurzin @SaltyGoat17 Europe did not choose to fight Russia in the way that US and Israel decided to start a war with Iran. What part of aid to Ukraine has the US contributed since this administration? Russia supports Iran btw

@PKurzin @SaltyGoat17 I still think we need to stay in NATO. But as Europe said Iran is not “ our “ war. I don’t think US should waste any more money on Ukraine. Not “ our “ war. And we should never of spend so much money. Europe can deal with Russia. And we will sell them weapons

Europe screwed up with Iran. They thought they’d flex a little and it backfired. I’m betting we are no longer a member of NATO by the end of Trump’s term. And I am 100% COOL WITH THAT!!

As a European, I am not afraid that the USA will leave NATO. We already know that they do not have good intentions to Europe and that we, therefore, have to build our defence to be able to fight without the Americans. We are well on our way and it will happen a lot faster if the USA leaves NATO officially. Russia is too weak and small to be a long term threat to Europe. They simple can not match what we can produce. As long as we keep Ukraine from falling, Russia is also not a threat to us in the short term. So if the USA leaves NATO, it is simple for us: Keep Ukraine from falling at all costs and build up European defence and weapon production as fast as humanly possible. We can and we will do that and Europe will be absolutely fine and safe.

@bexxxq1 @pcdv8r And LCP was 3 separate regions before they were unified. CBLOL and LCS regions are essentially just LTA with 2 more spots

Look, I am all for criticising Riot when they fuck up (for instance the whole LTA experiment). But credit where credit is due. The decision to go back to LCS + CBLOL, and now to give the 2nd seed at Worlds (FINALLY after a decade) have been great. Seeds scale exponentially for region strength at Worlds. So this is a BIG deal. Even if ALL it does is give each team someone to debate meta ideas with and scrim before making the trip to NA for Worlds. That will make a massive difference.

i also recall several aspiring female pros appalled at his comments, shocked at the contrast with his help and encouragement behind the scenes for their careers to me, this is a discussion about mental illness in the public eye more than rampant bigotry, I suppose.

Knight's Path@Knights_Path

The world is not historical, but a unique and grounded fantasy setting inspired by Holy Roman Empire. For us, low fantasy means the world stays grounded and believable. There will be no elves or dwarves, no hordes of orcs threatening kingdoms or wizards casting fireballs. The core of the game remains firmly historical in tone, focused on a medieval human society shaped by feudal hierarchy, power, political intrigue, war, faith, and the everyday hardships and joys of life in the Middle Ages. Fantasy elements do exist, but they are rare and subtle. Creatures like the wyvern and the giant snail are inspired by medieval manuscripts and folklore and are treated as unusual, rare parts of the natural world rather than common sights. Magic, where it exists at all, is indirect and ambiguous. Long rituals, superstition, divination, curses, and effects that may or may not even be real magic, rather than anything flashy or obvious. If a truly magical item exists, it is treated as a divine artifact or a once in a lifetime miracle, not an everyday tool. Overall, fantasy is there to add atmosphere, mystery, and tension, and to let the player experience the medieval world through the eyes of medieval people, who often believed the world to be far more magical than we do today, while still keeping the world feel real.

@Knutson41 @1348ExVoto I believe it is possible to pull off such a story, if the writer knows what he/she does and will remain neutral (no racism, forced messaging, etc.). For that, everyone needs to be treated equally, but nowadays writers cant seem to do that. They can only take sides.

@Lifa_1990 @MinEffortLive @1348ExVoto In the end, make-up on a single NPC is a pretty insignificant part of a game while the 'issue' with the 1348 relates to the protagonist and story. I don't think they ever claimed to be historically accurate either way.

@MinEffortLive @1348ExVoto Eyeliner in medieval times?! Yeah no. A woman camouflaging as a man to be a knight... a) is more historically accurate than a woman with makeup. b) ... has a more interesting story to tell than the NPC lady on the left. Left looks more modern than right.

@1348ExVoto I'll accept a lesbian prota, if you got quality writing, your world is authentic and your messages are wise. Are men weak? Are black people great and white people losers (racism)? Are all your females intentionally 'stripped' of breasts and ass? If yes, the game will fail.
