  • Isreal can without a doubt survive without the US. They might need to cut back military spending or reallocate money from elsewhere. I’m terms of arms they manufacturer domestically most of what is required, guns tanks missles. They are on the cutting edge in certain tech industries and can find people to sell to outside of the US. I’d bet China, russia would ditch Iran in a heartbeat to scoop up isreal.

    Pretending isreal will collapse is fantasy and pushing them away would be an major strategic blunder and cause less peace in the region.





  • The core issue with social media isnt the medium its the platforms and how they influence user behaviour.

    On the fediverse there does exist some of the same issues as Instagram etc but instead of the platform working to keep the user in this cycle of negative feedback and behaviour the fediverse gives the user the tools and even encourages the user to use in a healthier manner. Examples being settings to toggle inf scroll, content warning, keyword filtering, chronological feed, no ads, no UI Dark Patterns.





  • Hyper sonic missiles are interceptable. Drone interceptable. Cruise missle are interceptable.

    That being said the US is way to large to cover since the batteries have to be right on site for the best chance of interception and its way to risky to rely on interception. Also any golden dome can be overwhelmed with a mix of real and fakes like we see happening in Ukraine and Isreal. Diplomacy + a non retarded leader + international trade + mutually assured destruction should be enough to prevent war.



  • The ‘peace deal’ proposed is so bad on nearly every level and theyre only given 4 days to response and they’ve been threatened if they dont accept.

    “Hamas would be forced to disarm and turn over power to a group of apolitical technocrats, supervised by an international body led by Trump and former British Prime Minister Tony Blair.”

    Yeah just want people want controlling them, right wing technocrats…





  • Did they mention anywhere what borders? I’m guessing its going to be pre67 borders which is a complete non starter without significant diplomatic work from both sides and neither are even close to working something like that out.

    Maybe its current borders with land swaps for settlements in the west bank and Gaza to remain under occupation. I can’t see anywhere that they clarify what they are actually recognising as the Palestinian state so its ringing pretty dam hollow to me. Theyve also said they won’t accept hamas in power so I guess theyve managed to recognise something which no side agrees to which is so stupid.
