I had to check the date. It’s been 4 years since the end of the Beijing winter Olympic, also known as the start of Russia’s 3 day special military operation.
It’s also a few days into Ramadan, a holiday where Muslims fast while the sun is up. (It lasts approximately from fat Tuesday to Easter.)
So, you know, if you want to fuck up someone’s day, make ‘em work extra hard while hangry.
(Which is not necessarily true. IIRC, much of the religious understanding and forgiveness in Islam is about intent. They might be cool with breaking a fast when facing an existential threat. But it’s Iran, sooo…)
The reason there is less war and a generally more chill vibe in Shami countries (countries closer to the Mediterranean) is that they were out of reach of the Wahhabist regime of Saudi Arabia. I may be biased as a Palestinian, but in those countries most people don’t care who a person worships as long as they themselves don’t hurt others. You have mosques across the street from churches.
When the Sykes-picot agreement of Had illogical borders set by European nations
-Had Ahl Saud being the family that controls the literal Mecca of Islam Wahhabist, leading to the current wealth divide there by them seeing that they’re superior to people from eastern countries.
It can be a bit variable with Islam, but depending on what you follow there’s maybe an exemption from having to fast during Ramadan if your well-being is just generally at risk from doing so. There are also several groups that are exempted (Sick, Pregnant, too young, too old, etc), but don’t think any of them apply here.
Makes me think of those stupid assholes who sell ammo with pig lard in it. As if God would be mad that you touched pig because some guy shot you with it.
Olympics end today so it’s showtime for the military industrial complex.

And they would’ve taken Kiev too if it weren’t for those meddling kids!

Yeah they have a clause about even eating pork if it’s a matter of life and death. It’s one of those “God gets it” kind of fine print.
Jesus also has a whole thing where he heals someone during the Sabbath, some guy tries to be a smartass and he claps back.

That just seems like it would piss the other guy off more than anything.
That doesn’t even make sense. How do you make ammo with pig lard in it?
They greased the ammo with it. Another company made gun oil with lard in it.
Lmao, it would just burn off when you shoot the gun 😂
More like, Ramadan, meaning they’re ticked off because they’re hungry and go fire off a few IRAMs. Attacks always increased when they were fasting.
Circus is over
