Operation Lebensraum has commenced
I think Isreal is lashing out with the terrorist attacks and assassinations in hope that Hezbollah will sue for a cease and they won't have to do the ground invasion. I really worry about the nuclear option when Isreal is on the edge of collapse. I could see UN occupation and demilitarization of the entity. US refuses it's participation in genocide and will not fund reconstruction. China takes on reconstruction in an expanding belt and road initiative.
Wasn't Hezbollahs strategy to get the Israel to invade where they could engage them in their territory(assume the US would be less likely to get involved)? We're not even past the bombardment phase. I can't tell as there's not good information about how diminished their capabilities are. Certainly not looking good with the whole leadership being taken out but also Isreal doesn't seem to want a ground invasion either. The resistance is in a pickle here. Israel's objective seems to be the regional war that the Axis is trying to avoid but risks being picked apart if they can't act together
Idk the right format for posting now but here goes AlJazeera: What next https://aje.io/mycvl0?update=3208412

This was the one I was referring to back in the march
Yea was just looking at an article in sputnik saying it was doubtful.

Apparently it wasn't just pagers and walkie talkies but also laptops and car radios and had been planned for up to 15 years.
Can see incoming orders world wide with the same requirements. This could be a real turning point in the new cold war and decoupling of globalization era trade
Norm Finkelstein has made that comparison too, in the past,, like a few years ago I think, also Masha Gessen more recently since the flood
Hexbear is canceled
They're like both 100% of the population (and architecture tbh) is hamas and also hamas does not have the support of the people
Yes. It's obviously an arbitrary line that based on an individual's analysis. I personally try not to call others names, nor do I like to be called them. There will be disagreements, misinterpreted takes, bad faith etc. I'm probably in the minority here but I would not ban "doomerism" (nor do i make personal value judgments about people based on their take's of the damned "News" of all things) but I do try to discourage despair it if it doesn't make sense. Also, there is that point where we're simply fucked, and I hope I can admit it if/when it happens.
Yes. Gabriel Rockhill has a good theory on this that's pretty new. Imperialism is the primary contradiction and basically all left fractures stem from that precursor
The bloomer vs doomer is a little comical and you're right, in that being unrealistically optimistic is stupid and dangerous. That's not exactly what's playing out here. The US is waning in influence in the ME and globally. Iran has become a almost totally self sufficient regional power. The entity discredits itself daily celebratingremoved, torture, murder and terrorism. While it's western patrons pile on ideological contradictions (as we're allegedly againstremoved, torture, murderand terrorism). The long term trends are not in the imperials favor as I see it. They are trying to pick a fight on their terms. A tactical victory today can also be a strategic defeat tomorrow. Imagine a producing economy in the global south utilizing this electronic terrorist attack because the imperial core imports everything, would expose such a national security risk we would have to abandon neo colonialism and do the old school occupation colonialism.
I would go against banning anything that isn't already against the rules. Some comments happen in years. In other weeks comments happen where words occur. In other words days happen where comments annoy someone but it's all in good spirit
Doomerism is just the another manifestation of Western Marxism's built in anticommunism.
