But just look at this brief period following “every” when everything was less fucked and everyone sucked less! If only we could recapture that particular moment!
That’s exactly what it is. If you read an article about a little girl sexually assaulted because she is Jewish and your first thought is, “but there is also a genocide in Gaza!” then you have lost the plot.
I didn’t do that deep a dive but there are some skyscrapers like the Shard in London that are technically pyramids. So it depends on if you go by height and include those etc.

I don’t understand why Hamas would reject the deal that was essentially the same as one they agreed to in the past, that was deemed reasonable by Qatar, Egypt, and the UN. It doesn’t make sense.
That’s true. There is still hope that Hamas could walk back some of their demands. It just seemed like a done deal. Israel has yet to agree to the terms as well.

How can they drive back Russian forces if they can’t act against military targets behind enemy lines? Seems to be an unnecessary limitation as this point.
US and EU as far as I know. I guess it has to do with treaties and policies about proxy wars. If a country sends weapons to another country and tells that contrary to attack a third country, I think it’s considered an act of war from the country that sent the weapons. IANAL
Edit: especially considering that Russia has long since claimed that Ukraine is just a pawn of the West
The Biden administration had held targets inside Russia off limits to U.S.-supplied weapons. The fear had been that Russian President Vladimir Putin would then seek to widen the war to Ukraine’s neighbors. Or, an even more grim possibility: Russia unleashing tactical nuclear weapons in combat.
But Russian battlefield gains in recent weeks near Kharkiv, Ukraine’s second-largest city, seem to have changed the adminstration’s approach.
