Brogeoisie posted:It is open and shut but Bellingcat is funded by NED, which is a known CIA front organization that exists solely to sound less scary. Read Rogue State by Willam Blum for some cliffnotes on this. Can you talk a little bit more about the national endowment for democracy? Wikipedia of course has an article about them that I could just read but I'm beginning not to trust them. I respect Robert Evans, I find his podcast very engaging and I am skeptical that he is a CIA agent like people are claiming that he is. Merely working for bellingcat is hardly proof. If he is a CIA agent he has made me more left-wing and not less so he's probably not very good at his job.

They've already stated the goals: completely eliminate Hamas and pacify Gaza totally. Anything less is politically unacceptable and the amount of doubling and tripling down on that is only going to increase. Meanwhile, Hamas sent frogmen into an Israeli military base today and it's pretty clear neutralizing them is not within the empire's military capabilities short of Doing A Genocide. And obviously the imperial apparatus is a totally immoral killing machine so not doing a genocide is way less politically palatable than making terms with Hamas at this moment.

Morbus posted:These sound similar to injuries that were reported during cast lead and other IOF bombings. They are probably from bombs that use either inert or reactive metal powders to increase lethality in the near-field and increase the blast impulse at the expense of fragmentation. White phosphorus rounds are commonly used to illuminate areas, although deliberate use against human targets is strictly prohibited.

It's dark but I don't know if a genocide would be enough to get rid of Hamas, the Israelis could wipe the civilians of Gaza out completely, and the Hamas would likely still be in operation. They obviously still have tunnels open into Egypt and are getting some supplies; it isn't enough for 2 million people but probably enough for the 35,000 soldiers they have. They don't need "just" a genocide; they need the Israelis to engage in a ruin by ruin battle for the entity of the strip, this has to go on despite the huge Ls Israel has already taken. They have to turn the entire place over completely. Not only would they get a black mark in front of humanity by killing 2 million people, they it wouldn't give them any strategic leverage. They can't use their nukes either, and bunker busters aren't accurate enough for what they hope to accomplish. Ardennes has issued a correction as of 07:25 on Oct 25, 2023 |

Yes I found this one interesting. Maybe because other countries have exotic stuff like reindeer, the IDF one was very disappointing to me. It was like someone went to a Dollar General and bought anything that was shelf stable. The other, video of his that I found interesting was when he went to the hospital after eating the PLA one and he later stated that his research shows that many in China complain about the food safety of their rations. I think the only other fresh one that he got sick from was Ukrainian.

Honestly I'm surprised Israel hasn't got spare naval targeting lasers in place specifically to flash gaza and blind anyone they can see. Though I suppose dropping phosphor is a lot more practical and it stops snipers from shooting out your toy.

Zoeb posted:Can you talk a little bit more about the national endowment for democracy? China's consulate in Malaysia has a really good fact sheet on NED. http://penang.china-consulate.gov.cn/eng/zt_19/zgwj/202205/t20220511_10684485.htm Some quotes: quote:As early as in 1991, the founder of NED Alan Weinstein put it bluntly in an interview with the Washington Post that a lot of what they were doing was what the CIA had done 25 years ago. NED was therefore known globally as the “second CIA”. One way to think of it is to see that the NED tends to fuel Pro-Democracy, anti-government and anti-authoritarian (anarchist) movements and sentiments. One reason being that those ones are easy to manipulate or ignore. When people listen to Robert Evans talk poo poo about Lukashenko or Putin or Xi or Castro, or about some American billionaire or politician, it either serves their interests or makes no difference to them. People getting mad at individuals and having this vague sense of anger and frustration without being organised or disciplined suits the NED just fine. This is doubly true if you see that Evans praises failed anarchist revolutions, and never praises a successful revolution like USSR, China, Vietnam, Cuba, Laos, or the DPRK.

Evans isn't bad for like, general news and poo poo so long as you just tune him out whenever he talks about anything releated to historical communism. It Could Happen Here's stuff on Stop Cop City down in Atlanta is pretty good. Its pop, vaugely left radio. I don't think Evans is a CIA dude, I think hes just a dumb anarchist who likes military geekery so much that he was happy to work with OSINT freaks like Brown Moses. Anyways DTI, you do not have to hand it to Jackson 'one of like 4 actually existing Nazbols' Hinkle and Gaza will win. All power to the PFLP and the DFLP. Palestine will be Bibi's grave
