Current events in wars

Starting a new thread to respond to political questions.

I think you’re a bit muddled here. Yes, I’m a US citizen. That does not imply I agree with every policy of my government any more than a citizen of any other country, such as Israel in particular. There have been massive protests in Israel against Netanyahu’s ridiculously disproportionate response to the attack last fall from Gaza which killed or kidnapped 1,200 or so Israelis. I believe they are the largest protests against the government in the history of Israel. I am firmly disappointed in the bipartisan practically unquestioning support of Israel which has to do with the large Jewish and presumed Zionist population that are high-propensity voters in US national elections for our legislature and presidency. I believe Netanyahu’s response is genocide and indefensible. I believe he’s doing it to stay in power and gain support as he was on the verge of being removed from office and criminally prosecuted for corruption when the war on Gaza started. I wouldn’t be at all surprised to hear he had a hand through infiltration of Palestinian organizations in encouraging the attacks for his benefit avoiding or delaying prosecution and to serve his far-right interest in exterminating all Palestinians, which to be fair, is mirrored by the Hamas interest in exterminating all Jews, particularly in Israel.

The reason I say you are muddled is I never advocated kicking Russia out of the NTP pool, in fact, I’ve been trying to help get the pool working in Russia, and that should have been plain to you if you’ve been paying attention to the thread rather than spouting off your favorite antiwar theme, which you’ve expressed earlier in the quoted thread.

Stop generalizing that every American supports everything the American goverment does. You must know better.

As horrible as Netanyahu’s war on Gaza is, claiming it is worse than Nazi Germany’s holocaust is hilariously or scarily wrong, depending on whether you really mean it. Nazis killed 6 million people, not only Jews, but also political opponents, Poles, “gypsies”/Romanians, people with disabilities both mental and physical, etc, but mostly Jews. The numbers I’ve seen for Gazans killed or wounded by Israel are under 100,000. How can you say Nazi Germany can’t come close to Israel with such disproportionate numbers involved?

Now I agree the US has been responsible for plenty of unforgivable overseas actions, both admitted and not (such as meddling in Central and South American elections). As I said, just because I’m American doesn’t mean I support everything my government has done or will do.

Not at all, as I said in the quote above, I want to tell those conducting unsanctioned private cyberwarfare against any warring nation to leave the cyberwar to the professionals, as they’re quite likely doing harm to the cause they think they’re advancing by acting alone, and because they are abusing innocent noncombatants compromised devices to carry out their attacks risking those noncombatants being cut off from their ISP due to their NTP DDoS.

You need to tone down with the caps. I’m not screaming at you. It’s just rude, because it comes across as shouting and because it is more difficult to read text that is capitalized as all the characters look more similar than lowercase.

To answer your question, what it has to do with time is NTP pool service is being interrupted in Russia, obviously.

Once again, I am questioning responding to you at all as the signal/noise ratio of your posts is so low. You speculate, you preach as if your opinion on everything is God’s word and anyone who disagrees is clearly misinformed and just needs more of you shouting your opinion. For example, take a look at your comments in the threads about the pool supporting IPv6 fully – many repetitive comments about how IPv6 is a failure and IPv4 is the only Internet that matters or ever will.

The best way to silence a troll is not to respond. Bas has proven over and over again that he is going to troll no matter what logic you bring to the table. Just ignore and move on with life and the great work you’re doing on NTP.

I’m going to close this thread to prevent the situation from escalating further. Please remain neutral.

As it should be on the internet.
