Realistically Iran doesn’t want a war right now. I think they’re quite okay with not getting a kill. They made their statement without really forcing Israel’s hand too much.
Although some warhawks are already masturbating to a fantasy of Israel retaliating.
Yeah, people have to remember that Iran not only announced a response but actually announced when they launched their drones that would take 9 hours to arrive so Israel has some time to prepare. This was show of force, probably for the domestic audience.
I mean, genocide is not a single event. Even a massacre is not necessarily genocide by itself. It’s a systemic, large scale process. If we’re going to the scale of genocide, it won’t be about one or two events, but a multitude of events at which point it’s getting hard to put the blame on a rogue person or on accidents.
That aside, it’s of course something that the IDF went from “we are a modern, precise army, the best of the crop” to “no, we can’t be at fault, we have no control over ourselves, everyone just does what they want”.
Given the soldiers that killed unarmed hostages against the order of their field commander they’re not even doing that.
Still using Discord and YouTube fully and reading some things on Reddit and Twitter. Not posting ob the latter two anymore though.
No, no, let him cook, the water is money and Spotify holding it back.
Silence, Marsian scum, we finally got you.
I think we had the basics covered early. Too early maybe. I remember holding a presentation in grade school about AIDS, but that was half made by my grandma and I barely understood what I was reading from my papers.
Thank you. So, you can calmly finish your current task and even get a whiff of sleep and a meal to be fit for the deployment. Or do people tend to sleep/dooze in the deployment area?
With the US having soldiers in the area in closer areas and the situation being very volatile, one would think that the soldiers aren’t coming from the US.
These who received the orders were already on 96-hour prepare-to-deploy status, which has now been shortened to 24 hours.
So, how do I imagine this. Does this mean everything already packed up and ready to go, with everyone relieved from any regular duty, ready to put on boots and walk to the planes at any moment?
Let me euphemize this for you properly.
“We are posting soldiers there to keep the peace. Also we’re creating a zone of 10 kilometers where no Palestinians can live to keep Israelis safe. Also we’re settling Israelis into the zone. Oh, now the Palestinians are close again. Now they need to move another 10 kilometers to keep Israelis safe. Also, we’re settling Israelis into the zone. Oh, …”
Not to mention the old, the sick and the disabled. On top of that the numerous injured from the bombings.
Also, large crowds fleeing in panic are not exactly save in themselves. And don’t even start with people with disabilities.
After 24 hours Israel will slaughter who is left and pretend like everyone who isn’t Hamas had time to leave. This smells like a thin concession so Israel can pretend like they follow international laws for whatever comes next.
To whom it may concern
To put it simply: socialism is a specific political theory and social welfare is government assistance for basic needs (what basic means can vary from country to country, of course. There isn’t a country in Europe these days that is socialist. Now, socialism as a movement and as a political theory had influence on the European welfare states, but that doesn’t make them socialism.
The misconception in America stems probably from people like Bernie Sanders that call themselves socialists and praise the social welfare systems of Europe, somewhere this merging in the minds of many Americans as synonyms instead of two distinct things.
Do nothing and blame Germany
You can really tell when people are from America when they don’t know the difference between socialism and social welfare.
I have an even bigger problem. I have no reference within my company, I am the one who knows the most about programming, which is why praise is inherently hollow because it comes from people who couldn’t make a proper judgement on that.
It’s like me praising someone playing the piano. Like, I can tell if I like it, but this goes basically only to the point of recognize if someone just plays very badly or not.
So Israel did the same thing as Iran, an attack that signals strength but isn’t really a serious attack, but Iran actually ended the current issue here. I wonder if that’s a level of finger too, that Israel couldn’t stop without having the last word, but Iran actually could.
Both countries don’t really want direct war with each other at this point, and Israel specifically has its hands full with Gaza and Hisbollah right now, its allies urging it to tone down the carnage and they have to snarl at an Iran that isn’t even willing to fight against the US wishes. I can only take from this that Netanyahu that war will end and he has to take his hat.
