Iran, harden your heart and bleed your Khyber crystals.

Allow me to lib out for a second here and make two linked observations here:

1 - The last "legal" war started by the US was in 1942, meaning that's the last time a sitting US president had Congress approval for a formal declaration of war. Everything else since then has been illegal, not that it matters in the slightly.

2 - Despite point 1, the US still has veto power at the UN Security Council, meaning that they can unilaterally decide to go into just about any conflict, bring any of its allies and cronies into the fray, and shield themselves and their accomplices from any kind of UN sanction over illegal military actions. A country which has launched countless illegal wars in the past seventy years gets to pick who gets reprimanded by the managers of the global "rules-based order".

I know this is not new to anyone here, of course, but I just wanted to take this lib moment to truly appreciate how deeply fucked up all of this truly is. The world is the US's playground, and until the day comes in which a brutal reckoning is visited upon the US and its allies, there can be no semblance of security at a global geopolitical level.

If the Great Satan looks at you and decides you're gonna get got, then you're on your own. Therefore, and I want to believe my lib moment ends here, the first order of business for BRICS going forward is that, if you don't have any nukes yet... it's time to get them.

paging our resident military hardware nerds, what do you think?

Trump saying that Iran's nuclear sites have been "obliterated"

doubt

Also, that's a pretty tall order, to simply say something that can very easily be debunked such as that. Unless the preliminary info from Iran is totally bogus, this seems like a weird way to put it.

US opening with six GBU-57 MOPs and thirty BGM-109 Tomahawks, a military maneuver known in West Point academy lingo as "the US will never have free healthcare"

Simplicius regards Israel to be on what is essentially a genocidal ponzi scheme - you start a conflict, it goes badly, and so to distract from it you start a new conflict, which goes badly, and to distract from that you start a new conflict, which goes badly, and so on. This strange strategy matches the rhetoric of some Zionists which apparently want to go for Qatar, Pakistan, and/or Turkey "after Iran".

Isn't this kind of like what South Africa did close to the end of the apartheid regime? It definitely doesn't bode well for pissrael, and what I think is darkly funny about this is that, the way I see it, this is all actually on Biden. He was the first US president who didn't rein pissrael in when they started to get too genocidal for their own good. If it had been any other president they would've known better than to let the genocidal dog off its leash. Ironically, letting them roam free might have been what led the entity to its own demise, inshallah.

currently recovering from the worst flu I've ever had in my entire life, shit fucking sucks

I'm still on betamethasone, a corticosteroid, and as usual it's driving me a bit loopy... does anybody here also get this effect from corticosteroids? I feel a kind of depersonalization, like I'm detached from my perception, and everything becomes just a bit confusing, it's super fucking weird and it happens every single time I take this kind of drug

I recently saw a person who's very much on our side, another member of the LGBT (Let's Go Bomb Tel Aviv) movement, and he was talking about how bombing the Dimona plant would actually be a very bad idea for everyone, not just for pissrael. It's an outdated facility where isn'treal does a lot of uranium enrichment and exploding it might lead to the equivalent of dropping like half a dozen dirty bombs, which would contaminate not only Israel, but a huge region around the plant.

Is there any truth to that?

I'm sure most of you know pretty much all the information in Ben Norton's latest video, but I'm really impressed by how clearly he lays out all the historical circumstances leading to this current clusterfuck.
