  • US says it will support new Syrian leaders who protect women and renounce terrorism

    Jump

  • What if they denounce Israel and it genocide, or perhaps it's unilateral attacks on their country without declaration of war, or their occupation of Syrian territory? I think we know how things are going to go for Syria.

  • Canada should become 51st state

    Jump

  • This is genuinely the only reasonable sovereignnty guarantee in the current geopolitical climate. We haven't had a nuclear deterrent since the 80s, time to reaquire it. That's just dreaming though, Canada simply lacks decisive leadership under any part, at least that's the evidence of the last 30 years or so.

  • Trump Says There Will Be ‘Hell to Pay’ Unless Hostages in Gaza Are Released

    Jump

  • Oh my god, they wouldn't consider genocide would they?!

  • Trump said to lift all military restrictions on Israel on 1st day in office according to reports

    Jump

  • Wait, the ~14,000 dead children complied with American restrictions? The damaging or destruction of over 80% of all structures in Gaza was within restrictions? Interesting. It's honestly going to be tough for the victims of genocide to tell the difference. It actually may benefit Israel's victims since America is likely to massively lose influence in the world with the clown car pulling into Washington. Many nations who likely want to push back against the genocide are under huge American pressure to stay silent and complicit, hopefully as America loses influence that could change.

    Not saying that will occur, just an opinion.

  • Democrats Will Win Again Once the Economy Tanks

    Jump

  • Having elected a fascist autocrat, who already prepared the way by having the supreme court declare him above the law. Living in the country with the most militarized police, a nation with a massive capability to spy on it's own citizens, citizens who have little critical thinking capability to begin with. A society where social media creates the reality those poorly educated citizens live in, and social media is owned by oligarchs who benefit from a system where pleasing one narcissistic leader gives them power over regulators and increases their wealth more rapidly. I think people are a little optimistic to believe we can't call the next election today.

  • Will Trump Pressure Ukraine to Cut a Deal?

    Jump

  • You have to frame everything in terms that apply to trump. His goal is to be in a room with Putin, being praised for dealing with the Ukraine problem. He wants to be acknowledged by another dictator and strong man, that's it. He'll definitely pressure both Ukraine and their European supporters to accept Russian conquest of Ukrainian territory so he can get a ceasefire. It's not because he hates Ukraine, he probably doesn't care about them at all, it's just the pursuit of affirmation for himself. It's up to Europe, and hopefully RoK, to push forward and give democracy a win to raise everyone's morale.

  • Punish Democrats or Stop Trump? Arab Americans are agonizing over their votes.

    Jump

  • The issue is, it is already apocalyptic. It's genocide, the extermination of a population. It's going to be worse for Americans (and the world in general) if Trump is elected, but what if that world watched your family and friends die horribly, or helped kill them? As a Canadian I sure hope people can choke down the bile and keep fascism out of the white house, but we shouldn't act like there aren't groups of people who might think we all deserve whatever we get, regardless of it affecting them as well.

  • Hezbollah drone hits aviation factory in northern Israel

    Jump

  • An important detail is that advanced western weapons are restricted to operations near our within the recognized borders if Ukraine. The arsenals, refineries, factories, and other strategic targets inside actual Russian territory have been hit with Ukrainian weapons. Most are relatively low payload drones, with some targets being serviced by Neptune land attack variants, which is definitely more advanced than anything in the Iranian arsenal for example. But I think the point stands that relatively cheap and simple systems have provided outsized results in the Ukrainian conflict.

    The reason there are warning signs for Israel is because of the sheer economy of drone bombing. When Iran launched over a hundred drones, and only three hit, the media had a chuckle. I'm sure the IDF and the American planners supporting them looked very nervously at the estimated 2.4 billion USD worth of ordinance deployed during the defence. Why do you think Ukraine and Russia are building cheap drones to kill other cheap drones. It'll be interesting to watch.

  • Hezbollah drone hits aviation factory in northern Israel

    Jump

  • It will be interesting to see if Israel has a similar experience to Russia. They attacked with a massive advantage and were able to carry out operations with the home front secure, for awhile. Now Ukraine has developed a robust strategic strike capability that is causing serious military and economic damage. Israel may face a similar situation, even with the US willing to participate directly on their behalf.

  • Israeli girl on Palestinian people: "I just think we need to kill them. Every one of them."

    Jump

  • Opinion polls throughout the current genocide have seen Israeli public opinion around 80% in support of the campaign. I think it's obvious that not all Israelis and certainly not all Jewish people support genocide, the views expressed in the video are not uncommon and carry no negative social connotations in Israel though. That is the environment required for genocide.

  • US warns Israel to boost humanitarian aid into Gaza or risk losing weapons funding

    Jump

  • Don't worry though, American forces will be on the ground with patriot batteries to support the genocide, we just have to say this for the annoying anti-genocide people.

  • Since I don't see much football stuff on Lemmy, this is Mohammed Salah, an Egyptian footballer and premier league royalty. YNWA

  • Germany will send more weapons to Israel soon, Scholz says

    Jump

  • This is a lot like a gang initiating new members by having them commit a crime. You won't squeal on the crew if you're a criminal too. Maybe the 30s and 40s aren't so bad since Israel is mirroring the process since 48.

  • Israel could bomb Iran’s oil. Energy markets are noting it but not panicking.

    Jump

  • It should be ok, oil infrastructure is usually pretty far from schools and hospitals, Israels preferred targets.

  • Israelis receive threatening texts after Lebanon blasts

    Jump

  • How shocking that this broad act of terrorism by the Israelis would prompt threats of terrorism in response. Nobody could have anticipated that.

  • I got SWAT'ed and handcuffed live while Linux development streaming!

  • As others mentioned, this isn't America. Also, fraudulent calls to emergency services is a criminal offense, people who do this are usually charged and fined, or even given jail time. It's not like it's accepted or mainstream behavior, people just do stupid things and when combined with stupid cops it has led to tragic outcomes. In this video they seem to show up, which they HAVE to do, place the occupant in precautionary detainment, verify there is no crime underway, and release him. They would probably then take a statement, then the next thing would be to get a warrant for the call records and charge the dipshit that started the incident.

  • I guess I won't run this for my group

  • Also, if it's anything like Pathfinder there is a vast resource of free monsters and rules that allow anyone to quickly assemble campaign materials themselves. Alternately there are third party adventures as well, though many are also behind paywalls on Patreon and other funding sites to, you know, compensate creators for doing the work.

  • Why were Democrats afraid to hear a Palestinian?

    Jump

  • I think this is pretty accurate. It would also be understandable if the US wantt a very active partner in the very obvious crimes against humanity. The overall colonial land appropriation that Israel is built on, and the general apartheid system Palestinians are subjected to is one thing. The emergency transfer of munitions which will be used to commit war crimes within days is way more acute. It's tough to watch.
