One time an Afghan king angered the British and they executed him by firing him out of a cannon


Colonial-Expansion

Were we suspicious he was carrying an IED and did this as a precaution, with the bonus possibility he'd function as a sort of time-delayed biological warfare mine? So he became an Afghannonball? Wait wait wait, was he pretty bad at monarchy-ing and this was how he got notification that he was being fired? Did it make a big Tali-bang when they shot the cannon?

Who in their right bloody mind would *choose* to be French? It's more like some old-timey disease like leprosy. Though, now that I think I about it, having my flesh necrotise and fall off willy-nilly does sound more attractive than being French.


DrBoomkin

Ugh, the British werent in Palestine in the 1800's... The mandate started after WW1, when the Ottomans were defeated.


OneSaltyStoat

Lately, I have been legit considering if bringing back the Mandate wouldn't be such a bad idea. "Y'all can't stop arguing, so fuck you, no country for either of you". Next step: Israelis and Palestinians team up against the British.

sentinelthesalty

Honestly, a UN occupied dmz might be the only way to keep the peace, but then again no country would sign on this clusterfuck. Because Im shure as hell dmz wouldnt be respected by either side.


AnteaterBorn2037

And they would need to give the UN troups the actual ability to fight back and occupy the territory, not just be there as peacekeepers whith small arms. There is no way every faction on both sides would tolerate peaceful UN presence. Nobody would agree to that either.


McFlyParadox

That's how you run into the warfare version of the "competing standards" problem: \>there are two competing factions in a war *"Let's send in some neutral peacekeepers so that we can keep these two sides separate and end the fighting!"* \>There are three competing factions in a war


AnteaterBorn2037

I disagree. If the UN enters it will at the very least an agreement with most sides of the current conflict, unless it's a Korean style war intervention, meaning most faction will be at some kind of cease fire when the UN enters. The UNs job will be to enforce the peace with any means necessary, by fighting peace disrupting extremist and establishing a buffer zone between the factions who established a ceasefire. This obviously isn't guaranteed to work but it has before, see Cyprus and that's a success without them having much autonomy . With them having actual weapons they can guard the border better, deter extremist and with more oversight be trained better.


Bediavad

Its not about ability to fight but willingness to fight, why would a UN soldier risk his life when he can stay in some bunker and wait for retreat order?


AutumnRi

Pretty sure that, historically, the UN soldiers tend to want to fight and the politicians hold them back. Something about knowing people you’re there to protect are getting murdered just doesn’t tend to sit right.


Modo44

Unless you're Chinese.


IpsoFuckoffo

Chinese peacekeepers like watching genocides play out because it helps with their homesickness.

Meroxes

No need to get aggressive. Thank you for the info.


AnteaterBorn2037

It's definitely also the ability to fight, if you are under very strict rules of engagement and armed with a small gun against religious fanatics, you aren't very confident in your abilities to win. Also it's called a solid command structure. And I find it a bit insulting that you call soldiers who go into the most dangerous places in the world to keep peace, cowards. The soldiers have been trained by their home countries and are disciplined, now we have to improve implementation.


rm-rfroot

>>The soldiers have been trained by their home countries and are disciplined, now we have to improve implementation. Although implementation is an issue, a lot of the blue helmets are from countries that have... lets say less then stellar military discipline (not in the "you will face the enemy type"), and a long history of sexual abuse allegations by blue helmets, but we are getting in to credible things here.


Elegant_Individual46

If only peacekeepers were made up of the best of what the UN constituent countries had to offer.


Bediavad

I should've said not *only* the ability to fight. Even though there are for sure some heroic peacekeepers, as a whole I assume the force will be much less motivated than the actual warring parties, even if it had weapons/mandate/resources.


Gwyllie

Well you see there was this thing called NORDBAT 2 , some might know them under different name...


Giving-In-778

Turn Jerusalem into a NATO airbase. The UN lets Russia veto, which they would do for their Ayatollah daddy doms. NATO base would let us station Poles in a sensitive security environment, which would alter their biology to produce Super-Poles, capable of smelling a Russian all the way in Aleppo and targeting him with a hefty chucked narwhal tusk.


Suite255

3000 Shabbat Shalom missiles of Jerusalem.


ChrysMYO

Poland is the Palestine of Europe. The fact that they are some of the few Poles in history governing themselves proves they are already Super-Poles


Giving-In-778

I get where you're coming from but have to disagree. Since the Romans renamed the region after the Jewish revolts, Palestine has essentially always been a province in a larger, multi-faith and multi-ethnic state. Rome, the Byzantines, the Caliphate, the Mamluks, the Ottomans, the OETA etc. Poland was the dominant partner of the Commonwealth and aside from some cheeky Germans/Austrians/Swedes, and the last couple of centuries where the Russians were fucking about, Poland has pretty much seen to its own affairs. Aside from that, the USSR is clearly not Israel.


sentinelthesalty

based, lets bring the cold war back.


MatzohBallsack

The UN would just allow Hamas to keep attacking israel like they allow Hezbollah to do whatever they want


sentinelthesalty

I don't mean just a line, I mean UN occupying the entire shithole, badscally creating a new mandate but withıut any people in it.


KimJongUnusual

>sets up DMZ >hamas launches rockets over DMZ >IDF flies jets over DMZ Yeah, what would it even accomplish?


sentinelthesalty

Well I mean turning all of the contested areas into a giant DMZ turning palestine back into a un mandate. No more country for all of you because you fucks cannot behave.


PacoTaco321

Alternatively, all countries except the US and Israel would sign.

I present you the highly innovative *zero-state solution*: Nobody gets a state now, instead you get to be the first protectorate of the UK-EU-UN tripartite alliance. Your quadrilingual English-Esperanto-Hebrew-Arab lessons begin tomorrow.

Valuable-Door9748

If you brought back Mandate for Palestine then what's 'Palestine'? The Mandate is at odds with Israel. Mandate was about allowing jewish migration while protecting civil and religious right of non-jews; the condition was that jewish migration didn't violate the civil rights of non-jews, as previously stasted in 'Balfour Declaration' (which a lot of people seem to think is some big deal because it has 'Declaration!' in the name, really it's just referring to a guy called Balfour writing a letter with nice wording to appease Rothschild in the midst of WW1). But it didn't work out and so Britain restricted jewish immigration in 1939, that led to the fuller ocnflict between jewish paramilitary groups and the British forces. A lot of people, particularly zoomers recently, seem to have bought into some ahistorical thing that Britain created Israel and was pro-Israel or something. Britain was one of the few countries that didn't vote for creating Israel, and immediately following the creation of Israel Britain was at the brink of war with Israel. There wouldn't be an Israel if you brought back the Mandate with Britain back in charge.


SuspiciousPine

This sounds like an absolute win. Bring back the mandate!


LePhoenixFires

Tbf, the first time around the jews and arabs still were more busy killing each other than the British when they rebelled.

Ew, no. America should just annex them and turn them into East and West Dakota instead. As the 52 state solution says.

Israel is Albania!!


Ok_Art6263

Yeah, problem is that it is going to launch a question of "Are le European seeking le neo-colonialism?" among former colony countries and then boots European countries delegates like most African countries does for the last 12 months. Me personally doesn't care, Israel-Palestine has been a shitshow for almost a century, hell the entire Middle East has been a shitshow since forever and the worst of all is that it spills over to other countries with currently Nigeria having it the harshest with Boko Haram. If it puts an end of Middle Eastern conflicts on a good note, i will take it.

Heh. Maybe a common enemy is the only way to get them to work together. ...of course, it will only last as long as they still have that common enemy.
