Their airspace was going to be closed eventually. What ultimately matters is that the Israelis are feeling a fraction of the terror that they've inflicted on others and they can't take it. These aren't the original settlers that were violent true believers put there by the British, deeply scarred holocaust survivors, or WW2 vets who saw brutal fighting and lost part of themselves.

We've seen the videos of modern Israelis being genocidal cringe lords who are only really comfortable when they have overwhelming dominance. I don't know how sustainable the zionist project is at this point but we can see a lot of it buckling. Ultimately, Israel has been getting everything that they wanted and it's destroying everything that they've built.

Can't believe Iran is denying their right to return.

That said, the US government is not interested in seeing this conflict between Israel and Iran escalate.

It's supposed to be a policy of controlled chaos in the middle east, and an actual direct war between Israel and Iran probably isn't what they had in mind. I don't really know where the US wants to go from here, but I doubt direct military intervention from the US could last too long before they get a black eye.

On another note, this whole thing is really making it feel like Iran could have ended all this a long time ago by responding this way the first time around.

Important to remember that this is Operation True Promise 3. We are in a much different position from the previous two because Israel has had a pretty good winning streak of weakening the axis of resistance. During previous rounds of Israeli violence Hezbollah was a real threat and Syria was an area the resistance could operate in on Israel's border. Israel has been getting what they wanted and their hubris (and the material conditions) brought them here to where they thought they could get away with direct attacks and escalate to this point.

What if we're all just as annoying as possible to the company auctioning it until they give it to us?

Also, we all know someone's handler is just going to hand over a credit card so that they can buy the site. The question is, who actually gets it? It'll probably be some annoying radlib performative bs about tankies that was well worth the $69,420 that was spent on it.

I see major political change of any kind as 5 years away at minimum. No organization inside or outside of government really wants major change. At most they want to twist a few nobs and dials on the machines to increase the pain at a faster or slower rate.

Americans are pretty far from the level of suffering that will produce violent revolutionary conditions. We barely have any solid reform movements since everything gets coopted by either political party and defanged. There are no independent centers of power and many people are too alienated or disconnected to create a movement.

I'd like to think something has to happen soon with how the financiers are sucking the life out of the country's and world's economy but all of the carefully crafted systems of control seem ascendant. Even with both political parties being filled with incompetent losers they can still bumble their way through maintaining the system.

This is a country where cops can kill people in broad daylight and get away with it when it's on video. The American psyche has to change but I feel like it will only get worse with the conditions.
