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
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
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".
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
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.
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
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.
