4. Post titles should be the same as the article used as source.
Posts which titles don’t match the source won’t be removed, but the autoMod will notify you, and if your title misrepresents the original article, the post will be deleted. If the site changed their headline, the bot might still contact you, just ignore it, we won’t delete your post.

Yep.
It's just they (rightfully) feel like diplomacy won't work because there's an obvious mismatch in strength, and the international community has shown not to give a fuck for decades.
It's a slow genocide, or a fighting chance.
They literally have no other option than sitting there waiting to be killed. Who wouldn't want to fight back? Even if they know they can't win.
"we're outsized in military strength so we should pursue war over diplomacy" what?
How long do you think they should try diplomacy for before they realize that it's not working?
How long do you think they have tried it?
30 years or so.
The person I'm replying to seems to be missing a lot of historical context, which is why I'm asking the question and why I'm not going to answer yours without a bit of quid pro quo.
No, I don't.
I'm trying to interpret this as a response to my post, but it doesn't make sense. I don't want to assume incorrectly or misinterpret your response so I need you to clarify what you mean.
Hey, I'm sorry. I think the thread loaded buggy for me. I thought your reply was directly to me about my comment
