yeah, the us would absolutely never attack its own colony, the only question is whether it would abandon it

like, i'm not going to hand it to bin laden, he was wrong, making the us even more psycho and fascist didn't help, it just made the us kill a bunch of iraqis for no reason and reign more hell on poor afghanistan, but the key to understanding WHY it happened has been consistently buried across the years, including to this very day with its deletion today

Before 9/11 America was gearing up to concentrate on China, 20 years of wars in the Muslim world have distracted it sufficiently for China to have a real shot at ending its hegemony. Despite the success of this tactic I do not have the heart to endorse it.

god i have so many thoughts about this, but ultimately it's incredible that the spell obl put over america by conducting 9/11 is being broken for some people by reading his words

The illusion these people are seeing through did not begin this century, Americans have long been a jingoistic people blind to the great evil their country does.

galagazombie posted:

There are a billion better ways you could accelerate Americas decline via armed resistance alone, and OBL chose none of them.

OBL was just some rich dude who attacked America at the height of its power and probably did more towards dethroning it than anyone. I doubt the entire Saudi state could have done any better. Credit where it is due.
However if you would care to share some of these strategies I will be sure to pass them on to groups with much more military muscle such as the heroic Hezbollah.

Turkey is playing this ridiculous loving game of spinning plates, where they support Azerbaijan against Armenia, and Ukraine against Russia, but retains huge trade ties with Russia, and bombs Syrian Kurdistan, but also supports Islamist militias against Assad, and now also gives thoughts and prayers to Palestine against Israel.

Bizarre regional power poo poo.

I think the point of that post was that because NATO wants Turkey for strategic location reasons, that Turkey wouldn't get dealt with in any way by US+allies for loving on Israel.

Now I personally disagree with that analysis, but I don't think the point of that post was based on a misunderstanding of how Article 5 works.

so would emergency dissolution be on the table or would NATO be stuck going through with this as an organization?

A lot of people have the wrong idea about what article 5 actually means.

Invoking article 5 means NATO will write a strongly worded letter. That's it.

Today:
The Israel Defense Forces announces that two soldiers were killed fighting on Wednesday in the northern Gaza Strip, bringing the death toll in the ground offensive against Hamas to 50.

Cpt. Asaf Master, 22, from Kibbutz Bahan in central Israel, a platoon commander in the 401st Brigade’s 601 Battalion (part of the Combat Engineering Corps).


Cpt. Kfir Itzhak Franco, 22, from Jerusalem, a platoon commander in the 401st Brigade’s 52nd Battalion.

Yesterday:

The Israel Defense Forces announces that two soldiers were killed yesterday fighting in the northern Gaza Strip, bringing the death toll in the ground offensive against Hamas to 48.

They are:

This is weird. They're doing the special beret receival ceremony for a bunch of paratroopers inside Gaza. They're supposed to do this at the end of their training.

Either this is some bullshit they did for show, or they're bringing in guys who haven't properly finished their training yet, slapping a new beret on them, and sending them into battle.

“Erase Gaza from the face of the earth. Let the Gazan monsters rush to the southern border and flee into Egypt, or die. And let them die badly. Gaza should be wiped off the map, and fire and brimstone on the heads of the Nazis in Judea and Samaria. Jewish wrath to shake the earth around the world. We need a cruel, vengeful IDF here. Anything less is immoral

I am so tempted when I see stuff like this to ask just who that Third Temple™ they want is meant to be dedicated to, since all the archaeological evidence we have points to this sort of thing being way more in line with Chemosh/Kamōš/כְּמוֹשׁ worship than with Yahweh, even in His way more violent storm god days, but I'm not sure these idiots would even be informed enough to know what I'm talking about
