We would only use them for peaceful means like nuking hurricanes

“This is completely the opposite of what she is supposed to say”

Yeah that can happen sometimes on benzos

It's a long time since I read it, but I think the idea is to suggest dehumanization and artificiality in people who totally subsume themselves to political identity. Which I think is how Orwell basically saw supporters of Stalin, as mindless political fanatics

Id assumed they would strike on Oct 7th

It seems like Israel or it’s proxies might have tried to bomb a Russian weapons shipment in Syria. But geopolitically speaking, what would Russia have to gain from giving security guarantees to Iran that worth the risk to them of a world war?

Every time Israel commits another war crime Iran should drop a missile on Tel Aviv. Reports they have been using white phosphorus in Lebanon now

Yeah I’ve gotta come down off this news high, I feel like a child glued to images of the world trade centre collapsing

If anyones looking into a new ereader I’d suggest you look at Onyx Boox, a Chinese company who e-readers run Android so you don’t need to jailbreak them or even use calibre/have access to a laptop, you can just download all pdfs or ebook files straight to the reader off the internet

No doubt there must be several times more wounded than killed as well. Saw someone on Twitter reporting 60+ wounded but not sure of its accuracy

They must have known when and where the meeting was taking place. They dropped so many bombs because they were in a concrete bunker underground - I read a similar thing happened in 2006 when they knew where Nasrallah was and bombed him but there bombs weren’t able to penetrate through. I guess the technology has gotten better since then?
One thing I’m sure of was that the US was involved despite their denials. The bombs were American and two US spy planes were over the area at the time

Is Israel unhinged enough to retaliate with direct strikes on Iran? It would make zero strategic sense. My guess is they will probably let out their fury on Lebanon and try to maintain the narrative that the Iranian strikes were a failure that don’t need a response. But I also keep underestimating Israel’s bloodthirsty recklessness so I’m not really sure.
