Imagine if any country did a targeted missile first strike on Biden like this. First off it would be the most based action in history but more importantly the entire white world would pull together to absolutely flatten that country and all neighboring countries.

The West is a land of infinite and incomprehensible hypocrisy

[–] [email protected] 44 points 1 month ago

Really wishing China, Iran, and Russia would band together and flatten said country exactly like you suggest

I am learning that so much of the support that the USA has from other white countries is based on white supremacy. The USA is the white world’s strongest warrior, and they will cheer on the US murdering brown people even when they don’t have any skin in the game themselves because of this.

Klanadians kkkanada are a very good example of this, such lapdogs when it comes to US imperialist violence.

[–] [email protected] 13 points 1 month ago

The US does most of Europe's dirty work since the end of WWII. Europeans are the main benefactors of America's wars in the Middle East. Iraq, for example, had very little of its oil being carted away to the US during the 2003 war. Most of the oil being stolen was sent off to Britain, France, and Germany. Heroin in Afghanistan was making its way to the States, but significant amounts were being funneled into Europe.

The Imperial Core is aware of this, even if that awareness only exists subconsciously.

White supremacy and patriarchy are like the two largest forces that turn the gears of "Western" culture.

This isn't to say that other cultures don't have their own issues with that sort of stuff, but when you are politically and economically dominant, it's gross to have those social forces at your core.

Bothering to target Biden seems like a waste of a good missile, he's out by November and will probably be dead in a year or so.

[–] [email protected] 103 points 1 month ago (1 children)

I want to be so clear that Lebanon has every right under both international law and morality to flatten every city in “Israel”

[–] [email protected] 65 points 1 month ago

lebanon can say the word and we will be behind them 100%

Israel is so fucked as a country. There is literally zero way it can survive long term.

It has trapped itself in a geopolitical nightmare that I can’t imagine many nations have either been through or survived. The most powerful empire in human history, the US of Ass, got absolutely decimated in Afghanistan and Iraq against an insurgent force that kind of sorta didn’t even fucking care about its occupiers.

Israelis literally live in a hostile zone, trying to expand territory by subjugating well entrenched neighbors. This genocide needs to be done on an unforseen scale and with impossible efficiency. They are fucked and it looks like they’ll take the entire world down with them

[–] [email protected] 72 points 1 month ago (3 children)

It would be ridiculous if it wasn’t so sad. Like something out of some dumb action thriller.

Rogue state intentionally killing tens of thousands of civilians, journalists, aid workers.

Uncritical support to all who oppose them.

Kamikaze nation will destroy the world

[–] [email protected] 18 points 1 month ago

The only thing that can stop a rogue state on a rampage is another rogue state. We should give DPRK peacekeepers full authority to demilitarize "Israel".

Like something out of some dumb action thriller.

While I'm still not sure how to do it in good taste and I know it would be impossible to make in the west, I've had this idea rattling around in my hear for the last half a year about a regular dumb guy action movie but the protagonist is like a Palestinian Rambo

[–] [email protected] 11 points 1 month ago

Did you catch Captain Miller (2024)? Modern day version of that in Palestine would be awesome.

Stealing the billions of dollars of US military equipment and using it against the Zionists.

Israel has the unfortunate advantage of being one large US military base. And instead of being just generally murderous occupiers like Americans in the Afghanistan and Iraq wars, Israel's approach is simply to kill everybody and turtle outwards.

I hope it's unsustainable, but while they have relatively few losses in manpower and the West provides it with effectively unlimited support, I'm not so sure.

[–] [email protected] 24 points 1 month ago

I truly think it can with the backing of the usa, it doesn't need to sustain itself. It has an eternal IV drip because of the usa, unless it's severed I don't think it can outright die before taking as many people with them as possible

[–] [email protected] 16 points 1 month ago* (last edited 1 month ago)

Sorry to be cynical but the US didn’t exactly get its ass handed to it. They lacked the political will to subjugate Afghanistan and Iraq, which would not be the case if they considered it necessary to their survival. And they annihilated the conventional forces of both countries in an incredibly short time. Israel is crossing all kinds of red lines while everyone seems to assume the momentum will somehow change. I don’t think we should imagine that the amount of violence they would need to impose to achieve their ends makes those ends impossible.

Iran is also stating that a senior general of theirs was killed in the strike.

[–] [email protected] 48 points 1 month ago (1 children)

[–] [email protected] 9 points 1 month ago

I Can not imagine Iran acting .. the Axis of resistance totally lost the Plot by now ,first thing they announced was that "Khomeinei , is in a save location"

And Passiv "new Leaders will be fond" , I could even imagine given the cheer Size of the Humiliations (Embassies , Honoured Guest , Allied Leaders , Your President? , a Guard General every 4 Weeks , That the New Iranian Goverment might be assisting , or at least tolerating the elimination of their internal opposition and conservative powerstructures.

Death to the zionist entity isntrael

[–] [email protected] 44 points 1 month ago

Wow, I'm sure this will make things a lot more stable, and soften Hezbollah's commitment to destroying Israel!

Well, i guess israel can call off the ground invasion now, right? This means they dont need to bomb lebanon anymore right?

[–] [email protected] 17 points 1 month ago* (last edited 1 month ago)

Infinite suffering for every Israeli, inshallah

As the popular "talat rayeh al hamra" (The Red Banner is Raised) says

"العين بالعين والرأس بالرأس"

And, like that, the Abu Ali Brigades took down Zeevi for Mustafa

By this example, someone should knock off one Benny, for the shahid Nasrallah

Yemen gave it a shot o7

I say keep their leaders alive, it helps with the propaganda, the settlers will realize that their leaders are living comfortably and safely in their mansions while the foot soldiers and settlers die

[–] [email protected] 19 points 1 month ago

bibi knows that lebanon gets to sit at the big boy democracy table right?

[–] [email protected] 12 points 1 month ago

iran and china plz nuke israel and the US

[–] [email protected] 11 points 1 month ago* (last edited 1 month ago)

This is ultimately US imperialism at work. Washington (via its fascist Kiev puppet dictatorship) tried the same assassination "strategy" vs numerous Donetsk and Lugansk people's republics leaders (not to mention the West's assassinations of an almost infinitely long list of other national liberation leaders over the past 75+ years). At the end of the day, you can not assassinate a liberation movement just by killing leadership figures. When a critical historical reason for such movements exist, new leaders will always replace the old. The Western imperialists' plan will inevitably fail.

That being said, Iran should definitely develop nuclear weapons, which is the only real, hard power way to counter fascist Tel Aviv and Washington's arsenals. All the other "military imbalance" issues are trivial by comparison.
