@criitz@reddthat.com @worldnews@lemmy.ml I’m gonna start by debunking the myth that Israel is invulnerable because they have nuclear weapons. Since they have so many conventional precision weapons pointed at Israel, without nuclear weapons Lebanon, Yemen, and Iran are still able to take out strategic targets: missile launchers, AA weapons, radar, runways, facilities in important bases, etc. In addition to this, they can use the strategy even against protected locations like these powerplants striking them with barrages that first use a bunch of cheap projectiles like drones to break the air defense then get a bunch of conventional strikes through depriving Israel of electricity. They can also do this to other facilities like water treatment, forcing military logistics to shift to providing food and water for civilians. note that none of this has the domestic and international consequences of using nuclear weapons. Now something to know about Israel is that they’re not able to do without these amenities and they require extremely high morale to be willing to fight since they live in a giant strip mall.

@FuckyWucky@hexbear.net Which would imply the only data they have is on non-combatants. I would bet you that their “information about October 7” was based on rumors, not the smartphones of resistance fighters somehow (lol)

@Hurvitz@hexbear.net Well if they saw this they would likely be busy googling “solomon islands” but I imagine instances federated with Lemmy/Hexbear/Lemmygrad should have a relatively anticolonial crowd. Lemmy.world people (mostly the same
group of mods btw) would likely say this is good to challenge China’s corrupt authoritarian policing in the region

i would simply not be emotionally invested in the powerlessness and ineffectuality of the resistance to the point i start uncritically consuming western media at the moment it is least likely to tell the truth

all the reports are saying

are you kidding me dude? oh wait this is dot world. makes sense, this could be a reddit comment it sucks that much.
did you hear about Yemen laying waste to Eilat or expanding their blockade into the Indian Ocean?? probably not.
just got finished talking with an Israeli arguing they are both “made invincible by the IDF” and “harmed” by fear of “Iranian joke rockets”. air defense isn’t magic, the good systems we have just spam $2M rockets over and over at $2000 drones

Now Israel gets a greenlight for its genocide

they already have it

the USA comes to the rescue to finish the job

they’re already there

@ElGosso@hexbear.net This argument is completely devoid of any understanding of how US imperialism created this war, or the self-determination by citizens in Donetsk and Luhansk to leave a state that came to be run by NATO-backed torturers filled with historical fantasies of racism makes Russia look fairly reluctant to participate in it.

the only thing keeping your average Ukrainian from living in a war zone is western arms shipments, and tbh that’s the only argument that I find really resonates with me

Why would this argument resonate with anyone? Are you basing your understanding of Ukraine off post-2022 discourse? You think those concert-bombing wheeled artillery pieces are protecting civilians? You should take a look at SBU headquarters, Patriot batteries can’t even do anything against their new weapons. They’re certainly not for destroying apartment complexes or community centers.

The USA has fomented far right parties in Ukraine since WWII but what Nuland and friends have done since 2014 is truly despicable. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=bmaakY-PIAc

Immature and shortsighted

Your opportunities in industries which collect international monopoly rents (easy “email jobs” or high-paying industry with benefits) will rapidly diminish as Africa is lifted out of poverty by Chinese internationalism, scooping out the lower end of the US value chain, leaving your children with nothing but working at McDonalds or revolution, 90% of the USA is already in this situation. None of this is true of Chinese people. They are not embarrassed of their success. You’ll never be able to articulate serious arguments against what China has done on the world stage without regurgitating things you barely remember from Wired, but this is just jingoistic slurring. You didn’t even try to form a coherent thought.
Aren’t you embarrassed to try pass off your humiliation as criticism?
