Image is Israeli interceptors trying and failing to intercept missiles over their cities.


Israel just carried out a widespread bombing of Iran, which has killed a number of senior officials inside Iran (though it seems the leadership is more-or-less intact) as well as a number of civilians. Important facilities have been targeted, but the amount of damage is unknown so far (note that many important Iranian facilities are deep underground, making them both hard to damage but also hard to determine if they are damaged from just satellite imagery, so reports of damage will be he-said-she-said).

It appears the attack took Iran by surprise, given that a residential block was targeted that contained some senior officials - if one saw an attack coming, one would imagine they'd be in bunkers. Nonetheless, like the rest of the Resistance Axis, I suspect that Iran has adapted their military structures to be resistant to decapitation strikes by ensuring that replacement figures are ready to take the place of killed officials.

Iran has delivered a massive missile barrage in response to Israeli aggression, even though Israel is continuing to bomb Iran. Iran is now aware of the location of many important Israeli sites, including secret nuclear sites, due to their recent intelligence haul, giving them a distinct edge.

Israel-Palestine Conflict

If you have evidence of Israeli crimes and atrocities that you wish to preserve, there is a thread here in which to do so.

Sources on the fighting in Palestine against Israel. In general, CW for footage of battles, explosions, dead people, and so on:

UNRWA reports on Israel's destruction and siege of Gaza and the West Bank.

English-language Palestinian Marxist-Leninist twitter account. Alt here.
English-language twitter account that collates news.
Arab-language twitter account with videos and images of fighting.
English-language (with some Arab retweets) Twitter account based in Lebanon. - Telegram is @IbnRiad.
English-language Palestinian Twitter account which reports on news from the Resistance Axis. - Telegram is @EyesOnSouth.
English-language Twitter account in the same group as the previous two. - Telegram here.

English-language PalestineResist telegram channel.
More telegram channels here for those interested.

Russia-Ukraine Conflict

Examples of Ukrainian Nazis and fascists
Examples of racism/euro-centrism during the Russia-Ukraine conflict

Sources:

Defense Politics Asia's youtube channel and their map. Their youtube channel has substantially diminished in quality but the map is still useful.
Moon of Alabama, which tends to have interesting analysis. Avoid the comment section.
Understanding War and the Saker: reactionary sources that have occasional insights on the war.
Alexander Mercouris, who does daily videos on the conflict. While he is a reactionary and surrounds himself with likeminded people, his daily update videos are relatively brainworm-free and good if you don't want to follow Russian telegram channels to get news. He also co-hosts The Duran, which is more explicitly conservative, racist, sexist, transphobic, anti-communist, etc when guests are invited on, but is just about tolerable when it's just the two of them if you want a little more analysis.
Simplicius, who publishes on Substack. Like others, his political analysis should be soundly ignored, but his knowledge of weaponry and military strategy is generally quite good.
On the ground: Patrick Lancaster, an independent and very good journalist reporting in the warzone on the separatists' side.

Unedited videos of Russian/Ukrainian press conferences and speeches.

Pro-Russian Telegram Channels:

Again, CW for anti-LGBT and racist, sexist, etc speech, as well as combat footage.

https://t.me/aleksandr_skif ~ DPR's former Defense Minister and Colonel in the DPR's forces. Russian language.
https://t.me/Slavyangrad ~ A few different pro-Russian people gather frequent content for this channel (~100 posts per day), some socialist, but all socially reactionary. If you can only tolerate using one Russian telegram channel, I would recommend this one.
https://t.me/s/levigodman ~ Does daily update posts.
https://t.me/patricklancasternewstoday ~ Patrick Lancaster's telegram channel.
https://t.me/gonzowarr ~ A big Russian commentator.
https://t.me/rybar ~ One of, if not the, biggest Russian telegram channels focussing on the war out there. Actually quite balanced, maybe even pessimistic about Russia. Produces interesting and useful maps.
https://t.me/epoddubny ~ Russian language.
https://t.me/boris_rozhin ~ Russian language.
https://t.me/mod_russia_en ~ Russian Ministry of Defense. Does daily, if rather bland updates on the number of Ukrainians killed, etc. The figures appear to be approximately accurate; if you want, reduce all numbers by 25% as a 'propaganda tax', if you don't believe them. Does not cover everything, for obvious reasons, and virtually never details Russian losses.
https://t.me/UkraineHumanRightsAbuses ~ Pro-Russian, documents abuses that Ukraine commits.

Pro-Ukraine Telegram Channels:

Almost every Western media outlet.
https://discord.gg/projectowl ~ Pro-Ukrainian OSINT Discord.
https://t.me/ice_inii ~ Alleged Ukrainian account with a rather cynical take on the entire thing.

I'm genuinely wondering if Israel will survive this war.

[-] [email protected] 5 points 10 minutes ago

It will most likely, it’ll be a slow and then sudden decline, just like apartheid South Africa

[-] [email protected] 2 points 4 minutes ago* (last edited 3 minutes ago)

That's what I meant. Iran is probably not going to do a ground invasion and completely annex the country. But the fact that a good portion of Israelis are able to leave the country, combined with the fact that no one's going to want to move in while it's being bombarded by missiles makes me think Israel is going to lose its most valuable resource, people.

[-] [email protected] 2 points 2 minutes ago

depends on what happens with the nukes

If they use nukes against Iran, either Iran (or Pakistan apparently) will nuke them back which they cannot survive, or they will be complete international pariahs alienated from the rest of the planet besides the US. The rest of the world doesn't care much about genocide but they do care about an unstable rogue state nuking other nations and making whole continents unlivable if they go too far.

Seems their air defences are toast, Iraqi pmu drones are hitting them right now.

Once their ariforce is also gone then local militias can move in

That last video is revealing. A liberal woman with her hair uncovered is more hardline than the government, demanding more hardline actions.

Iran seems to be uniting under pressure instead of fracturing. The traitors will be sussed out soon enough and then the people will stand strong.

The nytimes live feed right now is so infuriating because they are telling on themselves so thoroughly how there was NO in depth discussion of the humanization of the individual experiences of the human carnage and destruction of Palestinian lives as it was happening.

The live thread is a detailed discussion of every Israeli that gets hurt and dies it’s so fucking obvious that they value their lives and what happens to them more than anyone else it’s so disgusting how obvious it is that this shit pales in comparison to what happened to the Palestinians and they just never cared it’s so gross.

Let’s feel sorry for these people instead sure; tell us their occupations and stories and their pictures. It’s not like you could have done that with anyone else huh? It’s just all sob stories about the colonizers their lives are valued more and we all know it! Just come out and say it then!! Sorry I’m just so mad about this these people are cowards and they could have put journalists in Gaza before this happened and they would have been killed and you could have shown a light on that but you didn’t because your institution is a wretched zionist propaganda outlet.

Fuck you nytimes!!! Eat shit!!!!!

If I didn't want Iran bombing me I would simply not start a war with them.

I don't-bomb Iran every day, it's so fucking easy, literally easier than bombing them!

In non-Iran/zionist entity conflict news, early voting stats are in for the first day of the mayoral primary here in NYC and they are incredibly promising for the openly Democratic socialist candidate, Zohran Mamdani. Voter totals on day one are double those of the last election cycle, despite today’s miserable rainy weather. High voter turnout and enthusiasm are extremely important factors if Mamdani wants to win. At many election precincts today (including my own), the Mamdani campaign canvassers were the only ones present, handing out campaign material and ranked choice voting instructions in multiple languages. There’s still plenty of time left for voting, but if day 1 is any indication, the Zohran campaign is in a very strong position to pull off the massive upset against disgraced ex-governor Andrew Cuomo.

[-] [email protected] 23 points 2 hours ago

Critical time for someone who won't bend the city backwards for Is Not Real to pull this kind of upset that's fun shit right there.

Iran Successfully Attacks Israel's Most Important Scientific Center

🔹 This video shows an Iranian missile hitting the Weizmann Institute in Tel Aviv

🔹 The attack appears to be a response to the assassination of Iranian nuclear scientists

🔹 The Weizmann Institute is considered one of Israel's most important scientific centers and several people are still trapped there

Looks very much like a direct hit to the main building to me.

Trump saying he wants to be like Kim Jong Un

He just like me fr

[-] [email protected] 31 points 2 hours ago

It's funny how Trump's love towards Kim is totally unrequited. Kim called him a Dotard and thinks the current administration is fascist (waow).

[-] [email protected] 31 points 2 hours ago

I love that the American misrepresentation of what role the Kim family plays in North Korean politics has completely buffaloed Trump into thinking that Americans will ever be able to "Sit up and listen." We don't have anything close to a culture of respect for others that is required for such a thing to happen. Hell, Trump directly contributed to that culture of disrespect multiple times with his comments on Obama (not that Obama doesn't deserve massive amounts of criticism and disrespect).
