i didn’t know they still made dudes who supported the shogun

on doing more reading, B2s very rarely are deployed outside Missouri and will often fly with several in flight refuels from there around the world, so in this case it was actually more normal unless they reactivate the bases in england or diego garcia that have hosted them before. i severely underestimated how tightly controlled they are.

Australia was already an active participant in the ‘prosperity guardian’ operation against yemen. it just isn’t a big deal for them since most of their trade is in the pacific

then they wouldn’t bomb them at all lol. i think this just indicates a rash and poorly planned operation because someone demanded bombing yemen in this way without giving any time to put the bombers in a better place beforehand. or that the rest of the air fleet closer to the theater are committed to watching/attacking Iran so they used pacific assets

literally Maine in the continental US is as close to Sana’a as Darwin is, this is insane

wait what? why in the hell would the strike have come from fucking australia? it would have been closer to fly out of Europe

hold the fuck up that is like ai-trash levels of fucked up gun design. its like they drew a tommy gun and halfway through realized the yankees used those, not the japanese

it even looks like the pistol grip of the tommy gun was turned into a questionable pistol holster while the triggerhand was moved backward. honestly like did they have a anti-yankee-gangster poster done up in the 20s or 30s that they traced for this? absolutely absurd

they were probably mostly talking about ISIS but since there are a thousand lil groups ‘sunni’ could be a tempting designation (as the broad majority). i’m sure the CIA and Mossad have gotten shia groups to work with them tho

According to certain Islamic street debater

this kind of makes me think this is a bit, but any observer should know that sunni/shia–besides being a uselessly reductive way of interpreting the world–has NO bearing on the issue of zionism. the ‘sunni’ states now defending ‘israel’ used to be its primary opponents. Iran before the revolution was supportive of israel. Ansarallah in yemen are ‘shia’ but they do not recognize the same religious authorities or doctrine as twelver Iran.

as it has always been, the composition of resistance and alliance is a material and political phenomenon, not springing from ancient religious rifts and conflicts

libs still do treat “hypocrisy” like it is magic, even though they have extensive experience in making ridiculous excuses for every time dems are ‘forced’ to act against their stated goals.

does it ever occur to them that a trump supporter simply brushes such information aside as “deep state” or (liberal favorite) “the courts” making him do it

you read a headline like that you think ‘hideous frat hazing ritual’ not something so repugnant the perpetrators were ejected from the frat and the town made buttons about it

how the fuck was the NRA vetting the guy and didn’t find out everyone from Ann Arbor would know him as Cat-Killer Doug

very cute of the ferghana valley to have 24 different aquifers in it. what the fuck

The infinity-debt-bubble is going to burst

2007 / 08 / 09 look IDENTICAL to what is currently happening

i’m getting the sense you don’t know what you’re talking about

bucking old people im an opposite pedo

can’t stop thinking about this fucking shit

EXTREME spooky season opinion:

Shock Treatment is superior to Rocky Horror in nearly every way and it didn’t achieve similar popularity because of its clarity of antifascist purpose.

yankees couldn’t handle their culture being associated so clearly with nazism

french presssssse with the darkest roast, extra steeped because i forget about it

one constellation of monetary policies projecting a seeming success does not mean everything the US has been doing is/was in service of the same policy, or that they’ve been successful. the US hasn’t disentangled from Ukraine even if the “objective has been largely achieved”, the materiel they expended on that has not been restored. the manufacturing deficiencies it exposed have not been addressed. Iran is the best equipped adversary they’re attempting to challenge since ww2… maybe Vietnam in the later years of the conflict was close–point is they’re not prepared. the US dollar being ‘strong’ doesn’t put missiles in the field.

The war in Ukraine threw a wrench into their long term plan

how could the US-directed proxy war to break Russia be an unexpected hiccup in the long-term plan? surely if the people operating this are rational and aware, they’d be coordinating between their theatres. if we’re going to assume a unity of action between israel and the US, we need to consider if the US is acting in a coherent and reasonable way to further their goals–would it be an unexpected analysis to posit they aren’t either? the US has plans, has ideology, but mostly contradictory and uncoordinated. US plans global military hegemony—US neoliberal ideology demands no industrial capacity to maintain it. US plans to attack Iran—US also plans to attack Russia and China, but has no idea which first, which priority, how much to commit. they’re listless and in the meantime exhausting their arsenal on the holding actions, inexorably decreasing their abilities to pursue any/all 3.

Iran has positioned both of its direct interventions as replies to egregious provocations from israel. they would not have happened if there was any restraint on the zionists’ part. the gains from their assassinations and terrorism do not match the damage and deeper commitment Iran has been forced into. and they’re literally gearing up to do it again, apparently while running low on their air defenses. wasting resources bombing Syria. escalating in Lebanon before they can decrease commitments in Gaza or the West Bank.

how is this a “master plan”? this is a suicide pact relying on god or the united states to sweep in and fix everything for them. even if provoking US entry is the core pillar they’re genuinely pursuing to the exclusion of fascist delusion that they can win 10 fronts at once: that is still irrational. the US has proven repeatedly it cannot wipe away entrenched resistance! they’ve also lost in Lebanon, and lost in Iraq!

there’s 100 ways they could have been more methodical and less clumsy if they were actually operating with a keen awareness of a ‘window of opportunity’, there’s only a fascist anxiety absent real analysis or realistic prescriptions for victory. the nazis being somewhat aware that their capacity to do barbarossa was declining with time never reached the inescapably obvious conclusion it could not succeed, nor did it help them plan it appropriately—the push for the caucauasian oil fields only being granted priority after the campaign was underway
