I remember reading how in WW1 during christmas they'd stop fighting and hang out a bit. It was one of the most depressing things I learned up to that point in my life.

If you *really* want to be depressed about it, look up the ways that the participants were punished or what happened in 1915. Highlights include physical punishments, terrible reassignments, and Canadians shooting Germans who tried to give them Christmas gifts.

The Germans deserved it. War is dumb. Giving gifts to the enemy because it’s a religious holiday is even dumber.

Canadian here what we did was wrong and super screwed up, regardless I'm sure if we went to war we would do it again....we can't be trusted as enemies

I’m also Canadian and war didn’t have rules then, and doesn’t have rules now if you don’t accept international law. It’s morally fraught, but war is hell, and religion is the source of much evil.

F off mate. Making the world more miserable. And talking about enemies, for me, the colonizing Canadians and Brits are bigger enemy than WW1 Germans

"Pakistan on Wednesday announced a "temporary pause" in hostilities with Afghanistan ahead of the Eid al-Fitr feast marking the end of the Muslim holy month of Ramadan. The decision was made at the request of Saudi Arabia, Qatar and Turkey, said a senior Pakistani official. It came hours before Afghans held a mass funeral in Kabul for the victims of a Pakistani strike on a drug treatment centre."

"TEMPORARY PAUSE IN OPERATION GHAZAB LIL HAQ (18 Mar 26)
In view of the upcoming Islamic festival of Eid-ul-Fitr, upon its own initiative as well as on the request from the brotherly Islamic countries of the Kingdom of Saudi Arabia, the State of Qatar and the Republic of Turkiye, the Government of the Islamic Republic of Pakistan has decided to announce temporary pause amidst ongoing "Operation Ghazab-lil-Haq" against the terrorists and their support infrastructure in Afghanistan.
The pause shall be applicable from midnight 18/ 19 March 2026 to midnight 23/24 March 2026. Pakistan offers this gesture in good faith and in keeping with the Islamic norms. However, in case of any cross-border attack, drone attack or any terrorist incident inside Pakistan, "Operation Ghazab-lil-Haq" shall immediately resume with renewed intensity"

I’ve always found it intriguing that skipping lunch is called fasting. It sounds like a regular Tuesday.

6am breakfast and 7pm dinner, skipping lunch. You’ve never done that on a busy day at work?

I hope that this conflict ends and there be peace 🕊
There is already too much blood being shed around the world and the innocent people will always be affected and pay the price from conflicts like these 😢
