You better yield! I’m counting to 3!! One! Two! … Two and half! Two and three quarters…

In US universities, a lot of the student protesters against the genocide in Gaza were jews, they were called anti-semitic terrorists anyway. We’ve seen the same thing in France, where jews students protested but were still called anti-semitic, pro-Hamas, etc.

Going with the confusion is very exactly what Netanyahu and his accomplices want: people mad about what Israel is doing taking on jews, so that Israel supporters can label them all anti-semitic and immediately discard whatever they will say.

Look, how many young attractive women would agree to follow and prop Trump everywhere without feeling (legitimately) in danger?

Only an AI would!

Anyone claiming atheists have no moral value because they have no God should be kept under close monitoring. They’re saying out loud they have urges to kill, rape and rampage and only God prevents them from doing those!

I am not so sure about this. At the top, fundamentalist have convinced themselves that God can choose champions who are above all of his rules. They are chosen, they can do whatever the fuck they want. Rest of the people, of course, needs to abide to “God’s rules”.
At the bottom, it’s kept simple: anything and anyone they dislike is anti-christian (that can be stretched to no end).

Yeah but you also assume reason on the other side. That’s not granted. The joke now would be for the US to just walk away and Iran to re-open the strait EXCEPT for ships with a US interest (and probably Israel’s). “Retribution for the damages.”

So wait, now Israel leaders are saying that bombing children is bad when it’s to “defend yourself”?

This is so well played!

Now Iran can attempt an attack almost openly on the US soil and many will believe it was an inside job. Well, that’s what happens when you have 0 credibility at home due to your compulsive need to say BS all the time.

Why would Powell do that since the war is very close to the end?

I’m saying they could, and could have had these for a while, they may have a few ones that they were sending just to check if the US would detect them, they may have some on the go as a permanent operation, just like a patrol. I would say that’s unlikely, because the risk of getting caught was probably perceived as bigger than the benefit of having a strike opportunity. But as several others said before: sea traffic is barely checked.

And another option is they already have some drones hidden on US soils and dormant agents ready to launch them.

When you say it can’t happen, you understand that Russia does it in Europe regularly, right? Once in a while, they will even send drones flying above cities, airports, military bases, etc. just to see if they trigger any kind of response.

Some Russian drones fly over Europe from time to time, to test the defences and/or gather intel. They launch from vessels that look civilians, sail under a third party flag, and transport legit goods to further confuse investigations.

Ukraine did a remarkable strike deep inside Russia by having their attack drones carried in a truck driven by a Russian driver who had no clue what he was carrying.

So the drones may have been dispatched some time ago and could very well be on US soil waiting to be activated, or they could be transported on any vessel around.

And even then, can’t the US military detect them and blow them up? Or have cheap drones patrolling ahead of ships to trigger them?

No. Not that he wouldn’t want to, but he would have fucked it up already.

When Russia invaded Ukraine, a lot of Russians bought the “special operation to de-nazify Ukraine” narrative. Some still do today.

When the US invaded Iraq, a lot of Americans thought it was to free Iraqis and destroy WMD.

It took the end of WWII for a lot of Germans to realize what was happening in the concentration camps.

Israel is not a special place with people fundamentally different from the rest of the world. People are pretty much the same everywhere, and propaganda works everywhere.

Manly men following toxic masculinity stars are suddenly worried they could be drafted and sent to Iran?

I thought this was their once-in-a-lifetime opportunity to go prove themselves as manly war heroes…

It’s a pro-active anticipated defence that is not a special operation and has definitely no relation to the non-war that is not happening.

Also: I’m glad I can FINALLY deploy the carrier and get some shit blown up!

Let’s be real: had he stayed in the US, he would be at risk of being deported.

It’s not just being on the top. Their wealth guarantees they’ll live in a different cast to the end of their lives.

At this stage, it’s a compulsive need for hoarding more and controlling everyone else, as they strongly believe their wealth entitles them to do so.

This is an oligarchy regime.

It’s understandable to be pissed at Israel for what they do to Palestine, Iran, Lebanon, but just like the critics of this very dick move: killing civilians is not going to solve anything. It just creates more resentment and hate.

No technical rational explanation will ever get to them.

Most are there because they want to belong to a community, and because they like the idea of being right where everyone else is wrong, so that they’re the important ones for once.

That’s how you get to them: feed their need to belong, and their need to find enough self-esteem some other way.
