Opponents will always point to it as a violation of the existing constitution and be right. Why is it so important to you that they don't follow their laws? Are you that desperate to come up with excuses to upset the current governmental structure of nation under seige?

I'm just gonna assume that at this point, you are a Russian stooge trying to subvert their enemy's government online.

Thank you for the context.

Don't let perfect be the enemy of good.

It's not weird. It's the foundation of their country.

Yo! Wtf don't you understand about no changes being allowed during wartime? It's not like the president is the aggressor here, perpetually keeping his country at war to avoid elections. It can only disenfranchice people to make changes to the government via a vote at this time.

Passing a new constitution during martial law would be sketchy as hell.

Somehow, people really think they can just look up the population of a country and imply that wishing for a swift end to a conflict is the same as wishing for the 100% eradication of a population. What the hell?

The whole middle east is "pretty fucking racist". To be honest, most of the world is unabashedly racist, but at least we get mad at each other in the west about it. It's something, at least, to have that little introspection.

Your question should be more targeted about a unique trait they possess that perhaps everyone of their neighbors doesn't also possess. It's our own ethnocentrism that causes us to judge them through our lense vs. their actual peers.

I think the whole thing is atrocious, but the double-edged sword of sovereignty is that we only get so much of a say in how two countries handle their business. If the rest of the world cut Isreal off right now, they would still handle this conflict the way they are right now.

Yeah, it didn't seem outrageous to me either, but that's the most recent information regarding their compensation I could find, so I just assume that's what they were referencing.

I feel like half these train guys are in it just to be "train guys" at this point. It's a living.

You could be Mike Pence for all I know. This kind of weird name calling sounds more like a Republican Congressman than not. I'm no longer convinced you aren't responsible for the deaths of millions in Iraq...
