Sefton: sefton at cutjibnewsletter.com | Trump Announces "Historic Peace Agreement" Between Israel and the United Arab Emirates; Agreement Includes Full Normalization of RelationsThis puts a bullet in the head of the Arab embargo against Israel. Sure, the UAE and Saudi Arabia have been cooperating (a lot!) with Israel for years, but that was covert. An open secret, to be sure, but not acknowledged officially. With this peace agreement, the UAE officially recognizes Israel and promises to "fully normalize" all relations -- including economic relations. Including direct flights to Israel. Good news.Trump made a statement about it from the Oval Office at 11:30. Comments(Jump to bottom of comments)1

I put this on the last thread, but hooray for bilateralism. The "Comprehensive Middle East Peace Plan" that every president pursues is stupid. I increasingly thing that multilateralism itself is stupid. Why bother with it? Just make bilateral agreements as they make sense. We don't need the TPP. We can write trade accords with individual countries.
Screw multilateralism. Pursue bilateralism in as many places as you need to. If it works, the rest will follow suit. If it doesn't, you've minimized the harm. Posted by: Joe Mannix (Not a cop!) at August 13, 2020 12:00 PM (hYcqw) 16

Iran will go ballistic. Literally.
The Times of Israel had an interesting article - Saudi Arabia is looking at uranium enrichment to give themselves a nuclear weapons capacity to offset Iran. Israel is not happy with this, but has limited options - they don't want to upset their growing defacto alliance with Saudi Arabia, and public opposition would likely accomplish nothing anyway. In any case, Saudi Arabia financed most of Pakistan's nuclear weapons program - rumor has it that they are promised a share of the output, should they ever need it.

I increasingly thing that multilateralism itself is stupid. Why bother with it? Just make bilateral agreements as they make sense. We don't need the TPP. We can write trade accords with individual countries.

-President Barack Obama Posted by: blake - semi lurker in marginal standing at August 13, 2020 12:06 PM (WEBkv) ========= This is what his scholarly biographies will say for decades. Posted by: TheJamesMadison, back to random thoughts at August 13, 2020 12:07 PM (LvTSG) The great irony is that it's true, after a fashion. The big Iran Deal that Obama made scared the hell out of both the Israeli's and the Gulf States. They realized that they had to find a way to work together for their joint survival against Iran, and that layed the groundwork for everything happening today. To put this deal another way - both the UAE and the Saudi's have realized that, if it comes to war with Iran, Israel will be a far more reliable ally than the US will. US elections are far too risky.

There's an Indian restaurant in Blacksburg, Virginia, The India Garden, that makes fantastic naan in house.
It's one of my dad's favorites in town, and I always loved it when he took me. Posted by: TheJamesMadison, back to random thoughts at August 13, 2020 12:16 PM (LvTSG) I suppose if there's a positive side to the Indian population in Silicon Valley (well, day time population - they all live in the East Bay), it's the restaurants. I'm the token white guy at my company, they love watching me sweat my way through meals. I never, ever turn down a "let's meet for lunch" afternoon. Even the buffets are awesome.

given that they're almost certainly the ones who thought it would be a good idea to store ktons of explosive in a major metropolitan area.
I think the best theory is that Hezbollah blocked the sale or disposal of the ammonium nitrate for years, because they viewed it as a deniable strategic reserve in the event of war with Israel. Hey - it was in the middle of the Christian and Sunni areas of Beirut, so why did they care? Posted by: The ARC of History! at August 13, 2020 12:22 PM (I2/tG) 189

I had one of those. Was a business trip with one person from each of our major offices. Five people, five nights, one person per night picked dinner. Our Indian guy asked around and found what was the best Indian restaurant according to all of the Indian expats he talked to. We went. He asked us some questions on the way - like "do you like spicy food" and "how adventurous do you feel?" We all agreed that we liked spicy food and were not picky.
When we got to the restaurant, he collected all of the menus, had a lengthy conversation with the waiter, and told us to just wait. I have no idea what most of what I ate was, and had never had it before or since. But it was an astoundingly great meal. Posted by: Joe Mannix (Not a cop!) at August 13, 2020 12:17 PM (hYcqw) My son, an aeronautical engineer stationed in Heidelberg met us with his wife last summer in London for a 2 week UK tour. (London, Dublin, Edinburgh, Glasgow). What we found was that from a culinary standpoint the UK is still stuck in the last century. Think Haggis, Blood Sausage, White Pudding (aka FAT sausage). Their famous Beans with Breakfast was an opened can of Van Camp's Pork and Beans, served cold. Despite their proximity to France they learned NOTHING. They couldn't even get bacon right. Having said that, the ONE culinary experience throughout the UK that was a bright spot was the Indian Restaurants. Run by Indians, like Jewish Deli's, they cook their OWN food and allow the public to buy and experience. They were consistently AMAZING. Posted by: MrObvious at August 13, 2020 12:37 PM (k+h+d) 304

As I said upthread, treaties are great and important, but unless and until the average Emirati Muslim accepts it and deprograms himself from the Joo-hate, it's a pyrrhic victory in that sense.
Posted by: J.J. Sefton at August 13, 2020 12:37 PM (s2VJv) To be a bit more serious, I disagree. What the average person thinks in the UAE (or the KSA) doesn't mean shit, it never has, it never will. These aren't democracies, these are combination Monarchy-Oligarchy systems. Therefore a few men (and ONLY men) at the top control every important decision in those societies - it always has been that way, it always will be that way. It's the only thing that can give them any semblance of stability. On a personal level, Muslims will always hate Jews. That will never, ever change, and it's foolish to even think such a thing could ever happen. It's a fundamental part of Islam itself, and it always will be. So, what is the best that can be hoped for? What should a nation like Israel strive for? A realistic goal is that a Deal should be cut between Israel and the Arab Rulers for a military alliance against the REAL enemy, the one that is building missiles and trying to create nuclear weapons to aim at both of them. After that, it's just like living next to neighbors you don't really like; you don't go out to eat with each other, but you can have a deal to not start shooting at each other and to respect each others fencelines, and to not pay people to go take a dump on each other's front yards. I think Israel gets all of that and more out of this agreement. Posted by: Tom Servo at August 13, 2020 12:48 PM (Kpl3J) 379

In order to keep the hysteria going, we have shifted to tracking cases. We already admitted there would be millions of cases by the flatten the curve theory. ---------- The new thing I've seen around here is the positivity rate, the number of positive cases per people tested. It's running at about 15% and were told we have to get it down to five. The reason the rate is going up (or doesn't go down) is because fewer people are getting tested. Me? I don't intend to be tested. I'm not showing any symptoms, so why bother? In March, that's what we were told. Just another example of moving goal posts.

Remember all the "antisemitism" accusations against Trump?
*** The left seems to alternate between 1) Trump is an anti-semite! 2) Trump is a cock holster for Israel! Amusingly when they are point two they get a lot of white supremacists joining on the bandwagon. You can see this on ZeroHedge for example and it is hilarious.

Oh yeah, and the same day I got the 1967 Victory coin, I got a package for a private sale of some US-issued 1945 dimes from the occupied Philippines. The guy who I bought them from was a straight-up Nazi. Unlike most sellers, he took the time to handwrite his username on the package. I won't say his actual name but it was basically "AryanRace69." So that was weird. Posted by: Yudhishthira's Dice at August 13, 2020 12:56 PM (/nZod) 436

For the record, I have no problem with people believing in the power of rabbits feet, dreamcatchers, or any other totem.
I prefer science, but I understand the appeal of throwing virgins in volcanoes. Just stop the evangelism regarding how much luckier people would be if they'd only accept the rabbits foot as their spirit animal. Posted by: Charles Darwin - FAT / BACK 2020 at August 13, 2020 01:05 PM (/i8CN) 520
Also, my new AR doesn't have the lug for a brass deflector, so if my Deflector brake doesn't work, I guess I'll have to take to a gunsmith. My right cheek looks like I was doing black-face after 120 rounds. The brass kind of burns it too.
*unless they write with an extreme hook, which even as a leftie I think is odd looking. Posted by: Brave Sir Robin I shoot a rifle right handed. Why? Growing up there was only one or two that even made a left handed rifle. SAKO, I think. Hella expensive. I shoot pistol and revolver left handed. Yeah. Funky acrobatics to reload a revolver.

401 I would just like to say that I have appreciated Boulder Toilet Hobo's posts. I may not agree with him about certain things about Covid, but as far as Biblical scholarly stuff he's very interesting and well informed, and despite the Covid he agrees with many of the issues affecting conservatives.

I read that book on left-handers living shorter lives. His reasons were bullshit. His data was quite dodgy. His mechanisms were wrong. My wife and I are both left-handed, so we have skin in the game. There are other, bigger reasons people do not live longer. Like opioid addiction. Or living in a shit-hole country. Posted by: NaCly Dog at August 13, 2020 01:03 PM (u82oZ) ==== No doubt. Thanks for the clarification. However, it still won't stop me from throwing that out at my wife (a lefty) everyone once in a while. ;-) Posted by: Backup Slider at August 13, 2020 01:08 PM (amQo5) 531

Posted by: Miklos, reading leecture Cliff's Notes at August 13, 2020 01:03 PM (QzkSJ) Yeah, it's not like this sort of thing hasn't happened here before. So rather than give people the benefit of the doubt, when they spout bullshit, I'd rather just call it bullshit and move on. Chances are good this person won't be around much longer. So be it.

460 Tulsi is a batshit leftist like anyone with a D after their name.
Where she differs is that she doesn't appear to want us all dead, she thinks that the democratic process can be used to usher in her Leftist utopia. That's why they hate her. And why we should not love her. Posted by: blaster at August 13, 2020 12:58 PM (ZfRYq) Well, if she became the new face of the party and pulled most of it in her direction, that'd be a lot less people who want to kill us.

Lurking Lurker and his poll obsessions. I think he was probably an actual troll. But he may have just been some guy who went crazy. Either way, he flounced in a weird fashion. It was over some poll he was wrong about in an off-year race obscure enough that I can't even remember the name of the Republican who won. It was in some Southern state, I think.

Currently watching the noon newscast of my local NBC station WDIV Detroit. Not single word has been spoken regarding this huge breakthrough as of 12:10.
Posted by: Bill R. at August 13, 2020 12:12 PM (wzzJf) ----- I'm also in the Detroit area and I can assure you that when and if they say anything about this, it will be in the context of how Trump is undermining Whitmer, causing unrest and fear in Dearborn, and making the Middle East even more unstable.

489 Listening to left handers obsess about themselves makes me want to invent stuff they can't use.
======================= Why the hate, man? There's only one thing I can't use: a fountain pen. That's due to the fact lefties "push" their writing across the page*, and it would be one long smear. No biggie. Also, my new AR doesn't have the lug for a brass deflector, so if my Deflector brake doesn't work, I guess I'll have to take to a gunsmith. My right cheek looks like I was doing black-face after 120 rounds. The brass kind of burns it too. *unless they write with an extreme hook, which even as a leftie I think is odd looking. ========== There is a company, Moriarti Arms, that makes left handed ARs. https://moriartiarmaments.com/ Posted by: Bonecrusher at August 13, 2020 01:42 PM (JNTt1) 548
