the concept of launching an operation with a new kind of airborne troop then immediately posting a promo video across the internet is pretty nuts

The fact that they could keep this under wraps with so much participation while also building media packages is pretty nuts

It's a long weekend, but with the exception of my cousin who was assigned to MFO and had to deal with Israelis, and people who have worked in UNTSO Lebanon, where Israel deliberately targeted the observers in 2006, it's going to be the same as in the rest of the Anglosphere. IWI takes everyone out to the ranges to shoot Tavors at a glossy event every year even though they have no intention of selling them to Canada and we have no intention to buy them.

It's going to be terrorists this, terrorists that, Israel will inevitably be victorious etc etc. I wasn't around for the Lebanon War, but if you go back and read anything on it, everyone assumed it was going to be a slam dunk.

Military intelligence: Russia gives Hamas weapons captured in Ukraine to discredit Kyiv

quote:

Russia has transferred Western-made weapons captured in Ukraine to the extremist organization Hamas fighting against Israel in an effort to discredit Kyiv, Ukraine's military intelligence (HUR) reported on Oct. 9.

Moscow plans to falsely accuse the Ukrainian military of selling weaponry provided by the U.S. and EU to Hamas, according to HUR.

"As part of the Kremlin's disinformation campaign, these fakes should form the basis of a number of 'revealing articles' and 'investigations' in Western media," the HUR wrote.

According to the intelligence agency, Russian special services plan to use Ruslan Syrovyi, a senior lieutenant from the Ukrainian Border Service who has committed treason and fled to Moscow, as a "source" for this campaign.

"Another provocation by the enemy aims to discredit the Armed Forces of Ukraine and make Western partners cease military aid to our country," HUR said.


now I'm wondering if Ukraine really did sell them weapons

is it just me or is there wildly more awareness of how loving lovely the media and governments are with the pro-israel narrative compared to even a few years ago?

I think the similar terribleness over Ukraine and the realization that a lot of those narratives were horseshit when it was obvious thing we're going wrong may have helped

and/or Trump sowing distrust in the media had a thick loving silver lining

this is their way of covering up the scale of the disaster inflicted on the IDF, they wont admit to all of it ar once but on a trickle to make it seem smaller

also if your narrative is "they targeted civilians" but immediate release of names show 1100/1300 deaths being IDF it would start to fall apart

What do we define as "lose" here? Unofficial official Israeli policies are... something.

In short: Israel's nuclear policy is to ensure the destruction of the world if Israel is "lost".

Or, at least to phone up the US president and say that is what is going to happen if you don't start loading up every cargo plane you have right now.

The irony is not lost on me that the whole reason Samson was captured in the first place is that he wouldn't stop slaughtering Philistines

no actual comparison of numbers or anything like that, just a direct conflation of the hamas attack with the holocaust and then a technically-true-but-hugely-misleading statement about palestinians dying

Yeah it's one of those "someone has to bear witness" things. As gross as it is, operating 100% on hearsay is bad and evidence of crimes (or in this case, lack of crimes) must be reviewed somehow

Biden saying he's confident Israel will protect innocent lives is loving incredible. What does he think happens to 2 million people under a total siege?

He also said we can back two separate wars and defended it with something like "we're the United States, come on" when anyone paying attention knows both Israel and US dug into their armor lies for Ukraine, then had to start giving Ukraine old unused cluster munitions instead, then complained how Russia was out producing them 7 to 1 on artillery.

He's just doing statesman poo poo. Behind the scenes, the US probably can't back a war past a certain point and the state department is making GBS threads themselves over this spiraling into a regional thing that will overwhelm our capacity

It second up before I. The U/R thread and of course the US will lose WWIII thread, but I think the US doesn't have quite the war fighting capability we pretend to thanks to neoliberal rot and grift
