  • There’s a reason Israel doesn’t want to deploy their own soldiers in other countries…

    Bibi has less than 50% support, that’s why he keeps cancelling elections

    And the only people getting out of the IDF, was the far right extremists that overwhelmingly support Bibi.

    Which means the majority of the IDF, probably don’t support any of this shit, and may even be unwilling to even go to Iran.

    Conscripted soldiers aren’t the same as regular soldiers. And if even a couple start refusing, it can quickly lead to the majority of your military saying “fuck it” and drop their guns and just going home.

    Or even worse for Bibi, they can say “fuck it” and keep their guns and go to Bibis home.

    Anyone saying he has a type grip on Israel either fell for his propaganda or are intentionally spreading it.


  • It’s unclear from the document whether passage will incur a fee. Tehran has touted the strait as a potential revenue stream that could help rebuild the country after destruction caused by American and Israeli strikes. It is reportedly charging up to $2 million per vessel for passage.

    Last week, the Treasury Department’s Office of Foreign Assets Control added guidance to its Frequently Asked Questions page clarifying that such payments would not be authorized for US persons or entities.

    “Payments to the government of Iran or the Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps (IRGC), directly or indirectly, for safe passage through the Strait of Hormuz would not be authorized for US persons, including US financial institutions, or for US-owned or -controlled foreign entities,” it said.

    The “free” market…


  • I wonder if that’s why all the Iranian accounts suddenly stopped calling everyone “zionazis”?

    I won’t comment on how/why they got that memo a few days before the video, but it clearly wasn’t working and makes sense they’re pivoting.

    From a purely technical standpoint, it always made more sense for Iranian trolls to commiserate with Americans online; play it as “the only country that wants this is Israel” would be super effective.

    Insisting anyone who disagrees is a Zionist just makes the label mean nothing and makes people disregard anything else the propaganda is saying, even the true parts.

    All they were doing was diving people who were already against Israel and trump


  • In Hammamat al-Maleh, in the northern Jordan valley, settlers used bulldozers to raze four classrooms, school toilets and the two playground areas into a heap of twisted metal and crumpled plastic, scattered with ruined books.

    The French government, which contributed some of the funding to the school, has demanded compensation from the Israeli government for the destruction.

    The only way to stop “settlers” is for foreign governments to put boots on the ground in Gaza to physically stop them…

    Civillians try, but the “settlers” just kill them too. They’re often uneducated extremist immigrants who legitimately believe they deserve that land, and the only thing that will stop them is if they think they’ll be killed if they attack.

    Bibi has a long track record of sending the IDF to support them no matter what atrocities they commit. They clearly have no trouble attacking and murdering unarmed civilians. And even if Israel refunds the money for the school, obviously France thought the school was worth more than what they paid for it, or they wouldn’t have paid for it.

    Claiming the money back is just a way for France to highlight what Israel is doing, it’s the principle (as in opposition to genocide) not the money.


  • Adult bulls with large tusks are the target…

    So between five adult females, yeah…

    At least one has seen an elephant shot by a hunter.

    Pressure like this also erodes sexual dimorphism, tusk size shrinks and may eventually disappear.

    I know in stuff like white tail deer in America, there’s been a drastic reduction in antler “points” because the genetics for large racks are being removed from the gene pool.

    Rare exceptions are large private areas where the owner set a “max” limit so the biggest go on to reproduce. When they get visibly elderly, the landowner harvest them hismelf or his kids.

    They pull in massive antlers that just don’t exist outside of their land.




  • Don’t forget:

    The batshit crazy evangelicals not only need war in the middle east to bring about Armageddon, they need Israel to be a Jewish ethnostate that gets wiped off the map by all of its neighbors unifying against them.

    Their alliance with Israel was always temporary, and one day they’re just going to leave them out to dry, because they think immediately after Israel gets wiped out, they get raptured.

    I think if Vance does use the 25th in January, that’s when they’ll do the rug pull on Bibi. Especially since midterms are set to flush most of the Dems who support Israel. If republicans turn their back in lockstep in January as the new session starts…

    Then we could actually see the day the US gives zero aid or support to Israel.



  • It’s not a carefully choreographed puppet show…

    It’s like an art exhibit where any random person can walk up and yank on strings, often in opposite directions.

    You’re assigning order to chaos, the same reason every early civilization had a “lightning god”.

    Our brains want an explanation, so we invent them to explain chaos. Even when the explanation is clearly not matching up to reality.

    Reality is a lot worse than just trump doing whatever Putin asks.

    It’s less “puppet” and more multi-player QWOP where random people each have a single button.
