damn.
may god bless his soul and the people of Lebanon.
Imagine if any country did a targeted missile first strike on Biden like this. First off it would be the most based action in history but more importantly the entire white world would pull together to absolutely flatten that country and all neighboring countries.
The West is a land of infinite and incomprehensible hypocrisy
I am learning that so much of the support that the USA has from other white countries is based on white supremacy. The USA is the white world’s strongest warrior, and they will cheer on the US murdering brown people even when they don’t have any skin in the game themselves because of this.
The US does most of Europe’s dirty work since the end of WWII. Europeans are the main benefactors of America’s wars in the Middle East. Iraq, for example, had very little of its oil being carted away to the US during the 2003 war. Most of the oil being stolen was sent off to Britain, France, and Germany. Heroin in Afghanistan was making its way to the States, but significant amounts were being funneled into Europe.
The Imperial Core is aware of this, even if that awareness only exists subconsciously.
White supremacy and patriarchy are like the two largest forces that turn the gears of “Western” culture.
This isn’t to say that other cultures don’t have their own issues with that sort of stuff, but when you are politically and economically dominant, it’s gross to have those social forces at your core.
I want to be so clear that Lebanon has every right under both international law and morality to flatten every city in “Israel”
Israel is so fucked as a country. There is literally zero way it can survive long term.
It has trapped itself in a geopolitical nightmare that I can’t imagine many nations have either been through or survived. The most powerful empire in human history, the US of Ass, got absolutely decimated in Afghanistan and Iraq against an insurgent force that kind of sorta didn’t even fucking care about its occupiers.
Israelis literally live in a hostile zone, trying to expand territory by subjugating well entrenched neighbors. This genocide needs to be done on an unforseen scale and with impossible efficiency. They are fucked and it looks like they’ll take the entire world down with them
It would be ridiculous if it wasn’t so sad. Like something out of some dumb action thriller.
Rogue state intentionally killing tens of thousands of civilians, journalists, aid workers.
Uncritical support to all who oppose them.
Like something out of some dumb action thriller.
While I’m still not sure how to do it in good taste and I know it would be impossible to make in the west, I’ve had this idea rattling around in my hear for the last half a year about a regular dumb guy action movie but the protagonist is like a Palestinian Rambo
Israel has the unfortunate advantage of being one large US military base. And instead of being just generally murderous occupiers like Americans in the Afghanistan and Iraq wars, Israel’s approach is simply to kill everybody and turtle outwards.
I hope it’s unsustainable, but while they have relatively few losses in manpower and the West provides it with effectively unlimited support, I’m not so sure.
Sorry to be cynical but the US didn’t exactly get its ass handed to it. They lacked the political will to subjugate Afghanistan and Iraq, which would not be the case if they considered it necessary to their survival. And they annihilated the conventional forces of both countries in an incredibly short time. Israel is crossing all kinds of red lines while everyone seems to assume the momentum will somehow change. I don’t think we should imagine that the amount of violence they would need to impose to achieve their ends makes those ends impossible.
Iran is also stating that a senior general of theirs was killed in the strike.
