  • For some reason evil people like him and Hitler have astounding amounts of luck when it comes to assassination attempts, so I'm not going to get my hopes up

  • Trump single handedly resolves shia-sunni schism (/s)

  • On the one hand it bugs me that you never play as a soviet sniper in sniper elite (despite the fact that the soviets were the most prolific snipers in the war), but on the other hand i appreciate that their tradition is to have a level where you kill Hitler

  • This has been a problem since Dresden. I don't blame the allies in the war against Germany for doing that, both because defeating the Nazis was that pressing and also because strategic bombing was a new tool that needed to be tested.

    But I definitely do blame it after the strategic bombing survey came back and basically said it didn't work.

    I don't think Israel is going off of this though, i think they're actually trying to do what they did to Syria to Iran and just have the country explode and lose all of its military capabilities so they de facto have authority over it.

    Edit:although it doesn't explain why they kill civilians. Genuinely just hitler tactics with that

  • Considering the current necessity of the two aircraft carriers, i think if the attacks decrease we might be able to tell if they've been mission-killed

  • I watched this video recently talking about how children/teens become "unresponsive" to certain parents as a coping mechanism, where instead of rebelling and trying to argue they just shut down and try to avoid any interaction with the parent.

    I wonder if a lot of the world population feels like that today, where they know that the current governments won't change so instead they just shut down fron everything and try to interact with it as little as possible.

    I'll link in here but forwarning, the narration is very irritating. I'm not sure what it reminds me of, but whatever it is it's annoying as all hell

  • On the one hand, Iran has been the target of the US ever since they kicked out their Comprador Shah, on the other it's very clear the American Bourgeoisie greatest fear is china, and basically every strategy they gave factors china in some way. And it makes sense, even if they aren't worried about a proletarian revolution (which they are), defeating china would be the imperialist's greatest victory since the fall of the USSR, possibly even greater given the shear manpower of the country. The likelihood of that is low, however

  • Don't worry, they'll be home by Christmas

  • Why are the US's/Israeli military constantly doing decapitation strikes now? Maybe its survivorship bias (literally) or I'm just misinformed, but I feel like even 10-20 years ago the leader would be the last thing to go, rather than the first (or in some case, only. As in the kidnapping of Maduro)

  • Thx, I did forget to add the 2nd part of my comment which was going to ask about the opposite so I'll ask it here. Is there anything Iran can do to "finalize" this? Destroying US bases is a start but I feel like a good possibility is that we end up to the same position as the end of the 6 day war again, cause it's not like Iran can just invade Israel or something.

    Edit: sorry, 12 day war

  • "Im not addicted to killing children" mfs when they go 5 minutes without killing children

  • Beyond airstrikes, if Iran manages to withstand/deplete us/Israel air attacks, would it be possible for them to engage in a conventional ground war?

    Edit:also how's Pakistan and Afghanistan going?

    I know there's important things going on right now, but if someone could spare a minute to help me

  • Can it be deduced whether the admin is going to focus on Iran solely or are they going to try to do multiple operations at the same time against Cuba, Venezuala, etc?

  • I know Israel is a settler colonialist state that sucks and that Israelis have objective material reasons to support the state's aggression but...you would think Israeli's would tire of war no? I mean, at least America is usually halfway across the world whenever it bombs someone, meanwhile Israel is getting hit with cruise missiles yearly at this point

  • I'm not normally a spiritual person, but I had a nightmare that woke me up and a compulsion to check the news.

    I guess we'll see what happens...

  • I'll watch this later so I'm sorry if its mentioned in the video, but why do people join the minor parties like the RCKMT or the public interest party and such, as opposed to the CPC?

  • What is it with a lot of "gifted kids" being neurodivergent? A large chunk of people i knew who I went to these types of schools with have some sort of mental disorder. I have...something [can't figure it out. I'll go see a psychiatrist at some point. I'm wagering bpd or ocd], another is diagnosed bipolar, another is diagnosed ocd, another has been in a mental institution multiple times, etc. It wasn't everyone obviously but I've seen it in other spaces too. I just don't get why it's the case. [Obviously I know there's the flipside where a lot of neurodivergent people did bad in school too. Its not a superpower]

    Edit: Whats wrong with what I said?

  • Idk...something about taking more time (even the extra semester I'm taking already) makes me feel like a failure. [Edit: to my family. We come from a poorer background and I'll be the first person to graduate college since my grandma (who herself is an exception). Ergo I feel spoiled or entitled asking for another year]

    I'll think about it. Obviously I don't have to decide everything now, and I can try taking one semester of 16 credits and see how I feel.

    I think it's more like I just know it's physically possible. Like, i know there's people who have gotten their degree in even less than 4 years. If they can do that why can't I do this?
