Мосул - Славянск

... many of them Sunnis who seemed less fearful of the beheadings and summary justice that the group is known for than of their own government and the barrage it might unleash in an effort to take the city back.

That many Sunnis would prefer to take their chances under a militant group so violent it was thrown out of Al Qaeda sharply illustrates how difficult it will be for the Iraqi government to reassert control. Any aggressive effort by Baghdad to retake the city could reinforce the Iraqi Army’s reputation as an occupying force, rather than a guarantor of security.

Many of those who fled said they were terrified of possible airstrikes and indiscriminate shelling that they have seen, in news reports, against insurgents in Sunni-dominated Anbar Province, which has been out of government control for more than six months. (NYT)

Это же описание является достаточно красноречивым приговором украинской АТО в Новороссии.

>>наоборот, я подтвержал мнение р. Йоханана от своего имени<< - that's yet worse arrogance, which I did suspect.

Ну, Вы же спросили, what is? :)

Как я уже сказал: народ .. не базировал веру на ... авторитете, но на собственном индивидуальном опыте. Как и дОлжно быть. Если хотите Рамбама: on authority of reason. Если хотите Раши: от первого лица. Если хотите brotherinlaw: согласно Диалогу.

That reference says: "we cannot tell it from choices whose potential validity is suggested by something else." But you evidently don't care. So the authority of reason, or God Himself, revealed for you (and, incidentally, for that Amora) the truth which the bulk of tradition unambiguously rejects. How boring. So long.

Perhaps some day you'll find time to account for the transition from (1) to (2, 3, 4). Meanwhile I'm still willing to discuss occasionally but incidental and superficial matters.

The accounting is not difficult. When entering a public discussion you choose to trust your written words to represent you. Others have no choice but to speak with your representatives, whatever each one is.
