Neoguri ramyun is good. Spicy, but not crazy spicy like a lot of the stuff from Buldak. My wife prefers it with a half bag of spice mix, I dump in the whole bag for myself. Top with some spring onions, spam or leftover roast chicken, shredded cheese and maybe some mushrooms, crack an egg in the middle. Nice as a treat, but we try not to make it a habit. It’s a lot of salt and additives.

Probably a bit of both

Buldak is pain, Lee curry is anguish. The latter is from Glico (Japanese). I shared a portion with my wife 15 years ago, and still remember. The horror… The horror…

That’s exactly what I mean. In good faith, those laws were passed over many decades, but they’re ignored on a daily basis. As I said; We’re on the same side

Ah, the “so what” in that sentence might have been misunderstood. What I meant by that is that attacking civilians or civilian areas is prohibited in international law, but those prohibitions are generally disregarded both by the leaders violating international laws and most of the other leaders around them - that’s the big “so what”. It’s unethical, it’s illegal, it’s evil, but leaders of nations will still do it, because they know that most of the other nations’ leaders will look the other way. That’s what I mean by international law going out the window.

Again I said that a mosque was attacked with kids in it and you claimed that it’s just the regime militants that was inside it

Hah! At what point did I say that? You claim to be for democracy and freedom, yet you tell anyone you believe are disagreeing with you to shut up and launch personal attacks against them laden with falsehood. A cornerstone of democracy is free speech and open discourse. If you can’t handle that, get off the stage.

I never justified anything, I simply said that the bastards doing such things don’t see consequences nowadays, which is to me an entirely valid statement. Instead of exploding in all directions and just coming across as another angry young man, how about trying to discuss the topic in a composed and adult manner?

Not that laws don’t exist. They’re just not enforced. Tunisians were incredibly fortunate to get through their revolution without further bloodshed, any other countries in the Arab spring were not. Have we seen any consequences from the international court towards any of the perpetrators of crimes against humanity in these conflicts? No. I’m on your side. Neither of us are supporting acts of terrorism. All I’m saying is that it will happen in these kinds of situations, and the world will do fuck all about it. Try not to see enemies when you’re in a discussion, I’m not your enemy

Never said I supported any of it. I only said that it will happen, regardless of what idealists like yourself think about it. I’ve had time enough to learn that extraordinary circumstances will bring the worst out in people on both sides, and any international laws can easily be bent by the right people in exchange for future support/resources/fealty. Any world leader gives exactly zero shits about someone else’s country until that country is either a threat to their own country or a potential massive boon. The age of rules-based order in the world has come to an end, and what we’re witnessing now are the super megapowers asserting themselves. It’s survival of the fittest now.

Wunderbaum! No…Wunderbar!

Sure, it’s prohibited. But so what? That rule is worth as much as the paper it was written on when there’s no way of enforcing that rule. Will Bashar Al-Assad ever see any consequences for dropping barrel bombs on protest crowds and residential blocks? Will Putin ever see any consequences for invading Ukraine and butchering civilians on a daily basis, or Netanyahu for his killing spree in Gaza?

International law goes out the window during a revolution - and nowadays in most other situations too.
