What should be done in Palestine?

The child killers should be hanged.

The entity should be disbanded.

The remaining settlers should go back where they came from.

  • Trump is the most incompetent administrator and propagandist to have ever held the figurehead.

    That doesn't mean "his" agenda is novel or even has anything to do with him.

    The agenda is giving finance capital control over all resources in the world, and has been obediently followed by every president since the fall of the USSR.

  • That's interesting because I usually have the opposite problem.

    The more complex characters are generally called "Traditional Chinese" in English if that helps

  • "read all these negative comments and then write an apology for me, chatbot"

  • Egypt's Mediterranean coast seems a little far for the Yemenis to me? But honestly I didn't consider them on my first pass at the question. My understanding is they hold almost all their neighbors responsible for the blockade and genocides.

  • The location being Egypt screams Zionist false flag to me?

    The Iranians would never widen the conflict like this without being specifically provoked by Egypt.

    I also think the Russians would not target anything in Egypt for similar reasons

    In theory you could imagine a scenario where Hezbollah did this with some sort of satellite-reachable naval drone but I think that's far-fetched for numerous reasons. That's probably who they will end up blaming anyway?

  • How the turns have tabled

  • Thankfully (in my opinion) they already lost WW3, aka the neoliberal collapse wars (a term I just coined)

  • You're exactly right. Nobody who knows anything about the war or military production takes this seriously at all. I believe the Germans have been licensed to produce PAC3s for over 6 years and haven't produced a single one. Also there isn't just one factory, there's a whole network of subcontractors (of course).

    And also like you said, even if they were foolish enough to try the Russians would just let them move in valuable equipment and then blow the whole thing up

  • I like the countries analogy

    Reddit is a one-world government that you have to obey otherwise you are exiled from all communication with anybody

    Here on the Fediverse it's a loose confederation of "sovereign states" (the individual servers). Instead of an Imperial Peace, there is constant conflict and negotiation about what speech should be allowed in what places.

    Reddit does not allow inter-factional conflict to develop, it just bans all the communities and users when it gets too hot.

  • Let's see how tough he's talking after meeting Bibi's pimpin hand in person

  • The Yemenis can have a little ferocious retaliation, as a treat

  • I think the only way to make sense of the oil markets is to view the "paper" value of oil as extremely suspect and being actively manipulated. Then you also have to know that the paper value is the only one that ever gets reported or talked about.

    There are two ways to get a better idea of what the actual physical price of oil is:

    • "dated Brent" as in this Ghalibaf tweet
    • "crack spreads" - which is ostensibly supposed to tell you how much refineries are charging to refine a barrel of oil, but it also implicitly shows you what they are actually paying for oil

    Both measures have consistently run $20-$50 ahead of the paper price this whole time

  • The Iranians always seem to have a withering English teacher-style roast at hand

  • I have a pet theory that he just scrolls the algorithmic feed like everyone else (except it's in his sandbox that he owns)

  • But surely the Adults In The Room would prevent imperial planners from committing all of their most valuable troops to a suicide mission, right guys?

  • It's their white whale, their catnip

    • it's an island so they think they can seize it with special forces (by far the most effective component of the imperial military)
    • they love to stick their grubby mitts into other people's oil
    • they are massively overestimating the amount of leverage it would give them. They think if they sieze the island they can literally get Iran to capitulate

    Q: what do you call American assault troops on Iranian Islands?

    A: POWs

  • This is, uh, more analysis than this deserves but

    I see those plumes as looking like they originate from the jet, just coming from the underbelly at an angle instead of out the tail end as you would normally expect

    I agree that those plumes would also be consistent with an incoming projectile except it's too close, the missile would be colliding with the jet in 3D space

  • I agree with everything you said but they also did it in a way that was so staggeringly incompetent that it tanked both the popularity and effectiveness of the project. Bill Clinton cut just as deep but didn't get the same backlash

  • I put a lot of weight in the theory that Trump is a compulsive gambler. Can't walk away from the table until he wins it all back

    Of course the warmongers and ghouls don't help either
