What? I read the news mega well and haven’t seen it. Can you link a comment? I don’t immediately disbelieve you, but have seen nothing personally of the sort. Things like “well I hope the people who love him are right about him, but it’s doubtful” has been more the vibe.
If you watch anything, watch Dunkey’s gaming difficulty videos. I don’t watch a lot of youtube, but those are genuinely great videos. I think back on some lines often, actually, when talking to friends about games and my favorites from the 90’s/2000’s.
But people who like him are cringe often, yeah.
Why do you hope it falls into another civil war? I hope it does somehow magically end up like the left-coms are imagining, and the coalition stays, becomes anti-Israeli, and defends Golan Heights.
But I’m fairly sure that won’t happen. The coming civil war will be devastating to the people and the region
Was talking about this with my partner yesterday. This being a woman would mean that she did even better at concealing herself. Would be interesting for sure.
Probably more likely it is a man, but imagining the person throwing the hoody back, letting long curls out, flipping the jacket inside out, then just walking right back past the scene is pretty funny
Ah yes, classic “this guy wore a cool hat in 1990” news of 2024.
I joke but it’s really good news, I enjoyed watching a few minutes of that.
If Hezbollah didn’t think this would happen and didn’t plan for this exact outcome and another five steps in advance past this point when they signed the “ceasefire”, this war’s already over because whoever’s in the top command will probably forget how to breathe air and keel over.>
Yeah, it doesn’t really take Marxism to realize this at all, but it’s nice to take the easy points when you can. (Just kidding, it’s liberalism, read Cesaire’s Tell No Lies, Claim no Easy Victories and self crit if you believed me)
I have full trust that someone in the resistance understands this and sees it as a strategic step in some way. Let’s hope that that analysis is good, because I must admit that I’m not understanding the path to victory at the moment. Options I see before us (question marks indicate that I’m confused) -Getting the Lebanese Army to join in the fight because now Hezbollah is clearly not at fault (?) and this leads to victory because they’re the army of a recognized state (?) -Getting sympathy from other states (?) and getting assistance from the currently traitorous states (?) -creating space for a front line further into lebanon during the ceasefire, hoping that Israel invades deeper, and destroying the army deeper into Lebanon (seems best option to me, but teh extent of Israeli bombing might be an unexpected hindrance)
I’m just spitballing though.
And here we go with blaming the resistance for the bombing days after Israel already broke the ceasefire, as predicted by many in the News Megathread. The immortal science takes another easy point

Definitely. It’s why it seems so chaotic the past few days when maps are displayed. Loose fighters a front line do not make
You know this got me thinking… I’m not super familiar with star Wars, haven’t seen any since I was pretty young, but I remember thinking the Death Star was like HUGE, with like the population of a large city living in its labyrinth.
If that’s so, the movie really should’ve shown the “average innocent” Death Star person on break just drinking at the local sector bar, getting surprised and the. blasted unceremoniously by some rebel. They probably had like whole shopping centers that could’ve been cool to show the banality of that evil. Would’ve really pushed home the “empire is evil” idea.
Or not because then it’s less useful propaganda. But I would’ve liked it at least
I would guess there is also a threshold for size for such shapes, because the soil formations start to become a dominant factor of such crater shapes at some point. But whether that point is at like 0.5kg or at 100kg I have no clue.
Cool fact about the NASA dude though
Not really, it’s just that this info is then translated incorrectly into “they have captured everything behind them” for example, when it could just be loose fighters moving forward but not establishing any occupation behind them.
That’s just an example, but the sources are all talking in points and moments, and then articles and analysts keep translating that to fronts and establishments. It’s not entirely incorrect, but the dynamics are just way off if the analysts are wrong. The fog of war isn’t just lies, it’s also these sorts of translations of facts to “bigger” facts. Lots is lost
Then why 40??? Because 45 was winning and you are almost there? Was 45 used to indicate advantage then??
What was the purpose of this then? Seems to me like an ok strategy if the goal of the Zionist entity is to retreat, save face in retreat, and continue terror of bombing without needing boots on the ground. That won’t win them anything in the long run, but it’s what the Zionist entity often does.
Documenting Zionist soldier deletions. Just a list of “RIPiss” moments
You would actually recommend it??? I thought it was just a toy-selling grift. It has positive aspects?
Didn’t the Charizard-looking one at some point just turn into a big scary skeleton too?
Just looked it up, skull graymon did exist. The whole phenomenon feels like a fever dream, where I vaguely heard of this and saw random episodes in my youth, but had no fuckin clue what was happening. Every time it comes up in conversation online, I remember some weird shit about it, look it up, and am always surprised that it really was real.
Damn I thought this was about football/soccer and every phrase got more and more confusing. Took “timeouts” for me to remember that American football works like that and that makes your confusing comment just normal and sensible.
They get Chinese-made commodities, technology, and infrastructure projects. It’s absolutely a win-win for everyone involved but its long term effect is making the US leverage over countries weaker.
The US can of course can attempt to make this illegal by sanctioning the use of the dollar in this way, but that speeds up the loss of use of the dollar because its reliability will faulter
DM me a link. I’ve seen none of this. Will update this comment and my other once I see it.
So there definitely was at least a thread stating that people should allow syrians to be happy about the end of a poorly-run and torture-happy government. I will nuance with the fact that this seems more in the grouping of “well Assad legitimately deserved this shit, and so people should be allowed to be happy about that part (but the other consequences are going to overrule that).” With the last part being implicit. Not a position I agree with, because I want to believe people can understand such consequences and see the whole picture, but I get it from someone close to the situation.
