Welcome to c/news! Please read the Hexbear Code of Conduct and remember... we're all comrades here.
Rules:
-- PLEASE KEEP POST TITLES INFORMATIVE --
-- Overly editorialized titles, particularly if they link to opinion pieces, may get your post removed. --
-- All posts must include a link to their source. Screenshots are fine IF you include the link in the post body. --
-- If you are citing a twitter post as news please include not just the twitter.com in your links but also nitter.net (or another Nitter instance). There is also a Firefox extension that can redirect Twitter links to a Nitter instance: https://addons.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/addon/libredirect/ or archive them as you would any other reactionary source using e.g. https://archive.today . Twitter screenshots still need to be sourced or they will be removed --
-- Mass tagging comm moderators across multiple posts like a broken markov chain bot will result in a comm ban--
-- Repeated consecutive posting of reactionary sources, fake news, misleading / outdated news, false alarms over ghoul deaths, and/or shitposts will result in a comm ban.--
-- Neglecting to use content warnings or NSFW when dealing with disturbing content will be removed until in compliance. Users who are consecutively reported due to failing to use content warnings or NSFW tags when commenting on or posting disturbing content will result in the user being banned. --
-- Using April 1st as an excuse to post fake headlines, like the resurrection of Kissinger while he is still fortunately dead, will result in the poster being thrown in the gamer gulag and be sentenced to play and beat trashy mobile games like 'Raid: Shadow Legends' in order to be rehabilitated back into general society. --

MODERATORS
They're at a key strategic position that allows the US to project power into several important targets. Doesn't help that they have nukes so the US can't risk leaving them to fend for themselves without committing omnicide.
I guess maybe I've been spoiled by my media choices, I've come to expect my antagonists to be three-dimensional and not straight-up sociopathic.
You hear about the crying drones thing? That was the reality breaker for me. I don't believe in any kind of elemental evil, but I do now see that sufficient depravity can reach more or less the same depths.
I hadn't heard of this. https://uk.news.yahoo.com/reports-israeli-drones-luring-people-093920198.html
Every time I think Israel couldn't get any worse, there's always more.
If I was a lich king who had to charge the demon portal with pure evil for my abyssal army to come invade the earth, I MIGHT think about doing the baby crying drone thing.
Yeah: Iran, Iraq, and Syria. They just decided to project that force at 3 countries simultaneously. And if it doesn't work out for them, that's going to be the end of their usefulness.
Not just those, though. The west took a huge L in the Suez crisis, but Israel is a way to still have some control over Egypt (which is more or less a puppet state atm). Israel also sits at an important position for projecting power to Afghanistan (lol) and, to a lesser extent, East Asia. South Korea and Japan are much more relevant for East Asia, but Israel still functions as a hub connecting the east and west.
