China is leading the way to a world where the UN is an international institution, rather than a court where the US serves as judge, jury, and executioner.

Sorry for the unclear hyperbole, considering turning the entire place into a firestorm was entirely possible if unfeasible, so there is no reason to read it as hyperbole. I understood what you + others meant about nuking the region in the end.

Yes and plenty of them fled to the US etc too and were a plague on Latin America. Same would happen with the IDF. Same will happen with the Azov guys (alrdy has a bit in Syria).

In the broader context of the US downsizing its worldwide ambitions to smaller goals like establishing Israel, El Salvador, Ecuador, Somalia, the end is in sight within a lifetime. I’m not saying anything will be easy. The overarching point is that Israel cannot operate independently of US and European support without becoming a fundamentally different kind of state. There is no alternative to NATO with global military logistics and financial power, based in all of these entangled geopolitical interests. Some countries have more normal hobbies than that, and knowing none of them have a chance to reestablish that system makes mutual development the only path which makes sense. You can try to be like Modi or Erdogan but man is it fucking embarrassing. The old subimperialists will probably be the smaller antagonists of the Long Chinese Millenium for sure. I just think we are creaking along towards Chinese space station future, they’re not going to nuke Gaza, people should get ready to win IMO

It is everyone’s responsibility to win as hard as possible. Every iota of extra winning multiplies into thousands of lifetimes worth of improvements for others. We are basically primordial bugs who don’t know their travails are delaying the development of the squirrel which has a lot more fun stuff going on, dreaming about nuts, acquiring and losing nuts. The preoccupation with nuts delaying the ultimate activity of being on computer. Who knows what awaits us

You can lead a horse to water…

This whole discussion feels kind of distant from the reality of Israeli settlers losing the will to live after like two apartment buildings’ windows broke even when they got to massacre thousands of Iranian civilians to soothe themselves. The end is in sight. I mean, people treated the Palestinian resistance as a lost cause for two years.

You know now that the coast is clear, I will admit that this article is a month old, it was a sleepy mistake. I thought I had snagged a PressTV source for a <24hr old Middle East Spectator (very unreliable Telegram/Twitter) post quoting a Yemeni official saying that Yemen would be a “sword” in Colombia’s hands.

I don’t know if I might be jumping the gun here, but the language portends deeper collaboration between Yemen and Latam, which could certainly use anti-ship missiles. Maybe Yemeni fighters could actually come to the region? They probably have too much going on already!

Well that’s a fun (by which I mean the worst possible thing to imagine) hypothetical and much more interesting than being literally asked on a supposedly Marxist website “why would the US support Israel past the initial stage of colonization there’s no reason therefore it is all mossad blackmail” which was more my focus w OP. If there is a way out of this nuclear scenario it lies in cutting off the economic base of the Israeli occupation that being US & Europe etc.

I mean what are you trying to tell me that there is just no way out of this other than nuking Israel and anything else is irresponsible? That’s where your train of thought is taking me tbqhbbqf

Probably one of the 40% of my posts on instances you guys are not federated with where I bash my head against a wall to keep my english skills intact don’t worry abt it this comm is my new fidget spinner

I don’t see why that would be in the best interest of the US even in the case it had to back down from unlimited military commitment. I mean the goal is keep the gulf states in line and keep the other states in pieces

I remember people were very confident that nukes would act as this kind of silver bullet and prevent the Ukraine conflict yet here we are over 3 years later and there have been NATO mercs on Russian territory without nukes flying. It’s just too early to convey this kind of immunity on Israel in thought experiments abt the Samson option

It’s 3am and im starting up a little joint operation out hrre myself 😎

Not if it becomes unviable for the US to support it. The US could be the one denuclearizing it. It is currently quite viable for the US to support its goals in MENA and Latam, at the cost of long-term goals, so it will prop up Israel through any amount of damage. They still hold Palestine hostage against Iran and Hezbollah. There is unfortunately much more juice that can be squeezed out of Israel, neocolonially. With Africa we are just getting started I think. Long-term it’s a stupid pivot, but many people will die

No thx

You really think someone would do that? Just go on the internet and tell lies?

Would not be surprised considering the scandals I heard about with other car clickers. Then again demanding backdoors into stuff can directly lead to those scandals who knows which came first

They were gonna spend it all on SODA!!!

Most of these mental backflips are not worth noting. I will remind you that despite giving Mozilla plenty of walking-around data, they took Pocket away anyways, which was the simplest way to share articles to a Kobo and likely other ereaders. I will have my revenge, Mozilla

Yep! I am hopelessly addicted to RSS. On a daily basis I probably use a thousand feeds minimum in some capacity
