The idea that Egypt moved air defenses & armored forces etc etc & pulled back the counter insurgency troops of the interior ministry should’ve made it obvious who their plans are targeted against. They have multiple FOBS on the border with flattened land (so obviously not refugee camps). Being a Doomer makes you stupid, if Israel attacks rafah then Egypt will declare war, it’s Ramadan so I won’t toxx or bet anything but you guys can mock me until the end of time.

Holy gently caress, it has nothing to do with being a doomer.
Egypt literally controls the Rafah crossing. Whatever aid can or cannot get in, and whoever can, or cannot get out is enforced by Egypt. Because of Egypt's treaty with Israel, Israel has to approve stuff there, but ultimately it is controlled by Egypt.

The idea that Egypt is going to go from enforcing Israel's will in the Rafah crossing (contributing to the starvation of the population) to actually invading Israel is ridiculous, and this isn't doomerism, it is basic pattern recognition. Whatever troops are being built up there are to prevent the fighting to spill over to Egypt, not to attack Israel.

Obviously the point of these red cows is to eventually sacrifice one and rebuild the temple and so on, I was just saying the image doesn't list a date or explicit plans to do it soon.

The image might not but their website says they cannot acquire the cows until they are old enough to be sacrificed. Apparently the correct day is April 10. Now maybe they are just going to hang on to these 5 cows but probably they will try and sacrifice one.

So whats the significance of the red cow?

I think it's originally for a purification ritual so you can do something like approach the holiest of holys. According to the cow guys only 9 cows have been done before for this. This one though is required to rebuild the temple, which used to be where Al Aqsa mosque is now. Al Aqsa is one of Islam's holiest sites.

I'll be devils advocate: someone in the Egyptian military knows letting Rafah get genocided is probably a way to get Colonels couped

I was watching one of his videos like a month ago and thinking something similar when it clicked. You (and I) would never get his job by the very fact that you had this thought. You (and probably everyone in this thread) wouldn’t even get the job that led to another job that led to a job of being considered for Miller’s position. The ladders that these kinds of people gleefully climb are designed to remove people with any form of conscience like 5 rungs below this ghoul. The people doing his kind of work will happily smile through a literal genocide because by this point there is nothing on earth that would trouble them. It’s like how through selective breeding you can turn a wolf into a chihuahua.

Not only do I suspect you're correct but I think the same is true of being in a position of power in congress. To climb over enough backs to have that kind of power precludes having any sort of conscience at all, which is why you see the politics surrounding Gaza that you do. None of them give a gently caress.
