if they doompost persistently is how

Ban persistent doom posters, shit is thicker here than on reddit. Get a grip people.

I recently watched an interview with someone who said that Israel long ago lost any sense of strategic or tactical action, when they assassinate someone from Hamas or shell Lebanon it’s not to further any goal or defeat their enemies. They are purely acting out of spite, retribution, and making themselves feel better, and this has been the status quo in IDF leadership long before October 7th. I’m wracking my brain but I can’t remember who said it, maybe Ali Abunimah.

Even the oil and gas industry has a role to play, according to Miller. The Agriculture Commissioner thinks the state should consider using brackish water for fracking instead of fresh water.

It sounds to me like Sid Miller wants to inject salt into Texas’ water table

Economic collapse alone might not. Beyond the state of Israel, if there were a unified response by all the resistance factions the US/NATO would certainly come to Israel’s defense and a greater regional war would be the result. The resistance must keep their responses below the threshold of western intervention and slowly bleed the entity dry, damaging their economy is just one part of that. You can’t have a nation if the people who run your government (the actual bureaucrats) fuck off back to Europe and the nations you rely on for necessary imports refuse to do business with you. The US can’t keep the entire nation afloat if the nation stops being functional.

Regarding caasualties, Israel absolutely can’t sustain losses like this for another year. Their hospitals are full of casualties, something like one in four casualties are amputees. Much like Ukraine, the combination of people fleeing the conflict to Europe and the US and the massive toll on their active duty military sets them up for extremely hard times.

If Iran can make Israel exist in a state of constant military readiness (at least, as “ready” as any IOF school shooter can be) it will be damaging to their morale and after a while they won’t even be particularly “ready” because they’ve been on high alert for months. Keeping the retaliation hanging over Israel’s head also puts pressure on the settlers with constant fear of the Iranian response. The longer they draw it out, the worse it is for Israel.

One of the points that stuck with me is that Israel has to pay reservists the equivalent of their normal salary at their jobs when they’re on active duty. Being forced to have a huge number of reservists on active duty is draining their military budget badly.

Israel’s economy is in shambles, its people fleeing in large numbers back to their homes in Europe and USA, its military force in tatters and its troops in hospitals or the ground. The resistance knows what they’re about, don’t succumb to doomerism.

I think him not realizing it was backwards is less important. The problem is someone under his command who is supposed to know what they’re doing assembled that and gave it to him, and nobody present told their commanding officer he looked dumb because they either didn’t care, feared his response or actively hate him.

I agree with you, particularly that there won’t be any effective solutions in America. It reminds me of that anarchist in Florida who bought the lib hysteria about Jan 6th and started posted on/after Jan 6th that Floridians should go to the state capitol with arms to protect it from the jan 6er maga people. That dude got hit with charges and a sentence months or even a year before any of the actual Jan 6 dumbasses, and all he did was post about protecting the capitol.

I’d be interested to hear if you have any success!

I often think about a conversation I had with a liberal who was basically asking me to convince them that China isn’t an evil gommulist world security threat. I was contrasting China’s foreign policy and economic actions against the west’s and how the IMF just straight up does debt peonage and cripples nations, while China offers deals and doesn’t use threats and military pressure to force acquiescence. After explaining that China’s tactic towards Africa and the rest of the developing nations is to try to help them develop themselves into successful, rich economies so that they can engage in mutually beneficial trade with China, and China even forgives some loans to those nations as a result of that longterm interest, he gave me a knowing look and smugly said “Ohhhh, I see what they’re doing, heh heh.”

He still thinks China’s evil, he just now thinks they’re evil because they’re using dastardly good, helpful tactics instead of starting wars, coups, and genocides. Fucking liberals.
