Zionism is 100% anti-semitic. There was a paper linked here earlier about the connections between zionism and nazism and the first fact stated and discussed was that they share common ground in the belief that jews are a people apart from the rest of humanity. Yes, both the nazis and zionists believe/d that jews cannot/could not assimilate into other societies/cultures and therefore needed to be separated into their own society.

Pretty good. But Pakistan has nukes. This will probably be a bunch of back and forths before some Pakistani officials die in unfortunate car accidents but not much beyond that

I'd love to see what kind of mental gymnastics the libs will use to vault over this one

Love me some "strongly condemning". They don't even dare say they condemn the IOF responsible. Just the end result.

Conservatives are often pretty accurate in terms of their analysis on why capitalism isn't going their way. But their conclusions are always "we just need more capitalism" or "we need to go back to 1980". They aren't questioning the overall economic system they're just throwing a fit because they're also being affected by the decay of capitalism and then direct that anger at the current capitalist leaders. In other words, it's reactionary rhetoric analyzing the symptoms but failing to address the root cause.

I mean, we all knew the UN was a farce to begin with but anytime a nuclear power gets involved in a conflict the possible use of nuclear weapons becomes an instant reality. When Russia first invaded Ukraine there were talks of tactical nukes being used almost instantly.

Western leadership has demonstrated itself to be devoid of all humanity and completely deranged and separated from reality. I have no doubt they have been lobbying people at the UN and getting all giddy amongst themselves at the prospect of the US nuking Iran but that doesn't necessarily mean that nukes are actually going to be used.

Hopefully this guy just heard zionists talking amongst themselves or something.

That being said...if there was ever any regime who was most likely to use nukes, it's the one in the white house right now.

Lol US really throwing the zionists to the wolves here if they're letting Ansar Allah attack the entity as long as they don't attack the Americans directly

This is also an interesting look at how being an early adopter of something can screw you over at a later point - the US has remained insistent on crewed aircraft as the main way to achieve interdiction, hence the investment in stealth technology in order to allow planes to keep being able to carry out this role despite advancements in anti-air capabilities (although aside from the early adopter aspect, I feel like there's also a role being played by the plain stupid fascist machismo of "Tom Cruise flying a plane directly into enemy territory is based, shooting missiles from hidden-away trucks is cowardly and gay"). Conversely, countries that simply didn't have the resources to build up such a large air-force were forced to explore alternative approaches, which might turn out to be the better ones in the long run.

I think this is also partly due to the MIC. The likes of Lockheed Martin, Boeing etc make a shit ton of money on their aircraft and even more on "updating" said aircraft. They also have big lobbies. It isn't in their interest to see a shift away from their prime money makers. Thus, the contradiction between capital interest and material interest of the empire becomes sharper. This can be said of the entire western military establishment. Which is just bloated and rotten. Based on enormous contracts that won't even be filled for years and years because the actual capacity to manufacture and maintain these weapons and systems just isn't there.

Just look at Ukraine. The people saying these things and swearing allegiance to the empire aren't the ones that will be sacrificed on the altar of capital. They'll be in their gated communities in Miami or the Bahamas telling the people to fight the good fight from their beachfront balconies.

Israel is the ultimate American imperial project so yes, the imperial military will be used to attempt to protect its holdings.

Surely carpet bombing an entire country will force them to surrender, it's worked everywhere else they've done it, right? ....right?!

I know it's just the distance but these missiles always look like they're so slow at night
