I mean she is very radical, in support of Israel.

Football is one of the most scripted sports ever. I mean just look at Polish league for example, le huge sponsor arrives, puts locally large sum of money into some really shit team in 3rd league which barely existed for last 80 years due to persistence of local schoolteachers and suddenly boom, in 2 seasons that club is winning country championship.

The only real sports remaining are those that do not have money in it.

Idk, Vance looks like fuhrer wannabe here but Harris and Walz are cheery and normal. Also footbal coach sounds much better than "second-in-command" (though i might be mistaken on both, i have a lingering suspicion Americans like fuhrer figures and lofty militarised title for civilian politicians).

Scissors rattle loudly

Then it would be true, but in the context it sounded like preamble to lesserevilism genocide (which that person is also doing completely openly so it's supported assumption).

ALL CAREER POLITICIANS ARE “GENOCIDERS” from what I have seen so far in my life on this planet.

That’s right.

Why are you even agreeing with him here? Last when i check overwhelming most of coutries, parties and politicians "on this planet" do not commit genocide.

Yes, it was upgrade of khopesh.

Well i'm not one of them.

It was probably inspired by Egyptian khopesh since it was used in Ethiopia even before the kingdom of Axum. Thing is, the blade is sharp on both sides. So you could either use its inner side as big sickle to reach around enemy shield and try for the weak spots like neck, face or armpits, or if the enemy didn't had a shield you could turn it to outer side and in this case you it was similar to Persian shamshir in being excellent weapon against unarmored opponents.

Two more interesting thing about it was 1: the designs varies greatly, most were shorter and wider, the curvature also varied; and 2: it apparently worked quite well considering it has been in use for possibly over 2500 years and some Ethiopian emperors even organised special elite units wielding it.

It do looks longer than it is because of proportions. It's very thin and the handle is pretty short compared to European blades because the blade is also very light so it don't need much counterweight.
