G*rmany sees an ongoing genocide and wants to participate out of habit.
Interesting, I thought Iran had a limited yet real stock of operational hypersonic missiles and they were being used to strike "israel", but now that you tell me this I know better. I ask this because that "terminal phase" on the missiles is absolutely insane, maybe it's normal but to me, someone who is definitely not well versed in modern tech, screams "hypersonic missile".
Why the gliding part though? Is it because gliders have a much smaller "signal" and can't be detected and intercepted as easily?
Man I really need a "Ballistic Missiles and their differences explained for dummies" rn
Are those iranian hypersonic missiles?
I think the US will step in to provide relief to the "israelis". They only require the political will, the military assets are all in place.
First reported casualty of the "israeli" attack on Tehran: A child. A fucking child.
May the punishment be severe for the zionists. We are not safe nor free as long as they walk the earth.

So former argentinian president Cristina Fernández de Kirchner is now under arrest.
Supreme Court upholds Cristina Kirchner’s 6-year jail term and ban from public office
The ruling means Argentina’s former president has exhausted her appeals and her sentence will take effect.
Argentina’s Supreme Court has upheld former President Cristina Fernández de Kirchner’s conviction in the “Vialidad” corruption case, for which she was sentenced to six years in prison and a lifelong ban on holding public office. The three Supreme Court Justices confirmed their unanimous verdict on Tuesday afternoon just after 5:00 p.m.
The ruling means 72-year-old Kirchner has exhausted her appeals and her sentence can take effect. Last week, she announced her candidacy to be a local legislator in Buenos Aires province, but today’s definitive sentence bars her from running.

In the “Vialidad” case, she was convicted of funneling 51 public works contracts in Santa Cruz province to a company belonging to her friend Lázaro Báez, in a process deemed fraudulent by Argentina’s judiciary.
The Supreme Court also upheld a verdict absolving her of charges of criminal association. The prosecution had asked for the additional charge to be incorporated, which would have resulted in a longer prison sentence. Kirchner addressed her supporters minutes outside the Justicialista Party headquarters after the verdict was announced.
“To the salary restrictions that Javier Milei’s government has imposed, the Judicial Party has added restrictions to the popular vote,” she said, comparing the ruling to the currency controls recently removed by the government.
She told the crowd that jailing her would not solve Argentina’s problems.
“They can imprison me, but pensions still won’t be enough and won’t reach the end of the month. They can imprison me, but medicines are more and more expensive and unaffordable, not just for pensioners but for everyone. They can imprison me, but parents will still believe their children have the right to eat four meals a day.”
President Javier Milei celebrated the ruling, writing “Justice. The end.” on X. He denied rumors that he had cut a deal with Kirchner to guarantee her impunity, calling it a smear by “corrupt journalists, accomplices of lying politicians.” He replaced each S with a $ sign.
Peronism rallies around CFK
Former President Alberto Fernández supported Kirchner, who was his Vice President. The two fell out while in office. “In a state under the rule of law, the opposition is not persecuted, but judged according to the law,” he wrote on X. “Something that has not happened with [Kirchner].” Sergio Massa, who served as economy minister under Fernández and chief of staff under Kirchner, said the case was “riddled with irregularities” and asked the Supreme Court to accept the extraordinary appeal filed by Kirchner’s defense.
People gathered outside the headquarters of the Peronist party in Buenos Aires on Tuesday, following similar congregations on Monday. Those attending were a mixture of Peronist organizations, trade unions, and members of the public. “If I have to stay, I’ll stay. If I have to camp here, I’ll camp. I’m going to hold out here, even if I am the last one standing,” Susana Barros told the Herald, her voice drowned by the sound of snare drums. “The government set out to destroy her,” added Barros, who works at a cooperative that cleans Buenos Aires’ most contaminated river.
Senator José Mayans told the press that Kirchner is “not scared.” “She is very calm, she knows what Argentine politics is like. Perón was imprisoned, Lula was too. I think the Argentine people will react to this lie carried out by the Milei administration,” he added. In anticipation of the Supreme Court’s verdict, crowds of people blocked four highways into Buenos Aires City — the Panamericana, Acceso Oeste, the La Plata-Buenos Aires highway, and the Ricchieri. At the time of writing, the blockade continues. Meanwhile, security forces fenced off the Supreme Court building.
Questions over the ruling
The ruling means CFK’s candidacy to be a lawmaker in Buenos Aires province is already over, just over a week after announcing her bid for election. Her supporters have described the case as political persecution. They view the conviction as a means of banning a key opposition leader and the head of Peronism.
Constitutional lawyer Andrés Gil Domínguez called the ruling a “constitutional scandal,” as the Court used Article 280 of the Code of Civil and Commercial Procedure, which allows it to reject recourses without the need for arguments. He added that the Inter-American Court of Human Rights told the Argentine State that the article is “incompatible” with the human right to a well-founded judgment.
Gil Domínguez also said that Kirchner was sentenced without the court irrefutably demonstrating her responsibility. “She was convicted with circumstantial evidence, or indirect evidence of low intensity,” he told the Herald, adding that there is “very little proof” connecting Kirchner to the crime of defrauding the state.
“The existing evidence that links her with this scheme is that she was President and sent budget bills to Congress, which Congress approved, to send public works to Santa Cruz,” he explained. He said that, since the Court upheld the conviction, it is “setting a very low standard regarding the protection of the presumption of innocence, and within that logic, Javier Milei should be called to testify for the $LIBRA case because there is direct evidence there.”
However, he said that the ruling does not mean Argentine courts will start using that standard from now on. “It seems to me that when the accused belong to Peronism, the time of justice is hurried, and the standards are relaxed. When those who have to be accountable before justice are non-Peronist, the cases are closed, the guarantees are extended and much stronger.”
I don't care about the corruption charges, wether they are true or not I couldn't care less. Corruption is a perk within Capitalism, it's just part of the system. However, this is 100% a move to block the main opposition figure from running at any election. Cristina, despite her age, still holds tremendous political popularity, and this move might even backfire against milei's government. It even made the Trots ally with the Peronists, at least for a while lol... We'll see.
Also the supreme court's judges were picked by the opposition to Cristina lmao. It's obvious.
Meanwhile, FIFA and UEFA member "israel" killed a fuckton of FIFA-registered palestinian players in Gaza, dismantling a FIFA-regulated tournament in the process as well. You can sit comfortably waiting for them to take action against the zionist entity.
death to "israel"
I hate all zionists, but I have a particular spot for the bulldozer drivers. These aren't just your normal soldier who loots houses and takes selfies in ruined buildings. The bulldozer driver is the one responsible for destroying homes and running over people in very conscious acts, you have to be a special piece of shit to demolish houses with your vehicle, one by one. On the other hand, the military use of bulldozers is quite unique to "israel", even thought pretty much all armies use them. "israel" uses them very close to ongoing combat, usually armies employ them after areas have been cleared of enemies, but their bulldozers seem to follow frontline troops to begin destruction immediately, no time wasted there. I think this shows how much "israel" just loves destroying stuff, how their incursion into Gaza is simply to destroy it.
Remember that video of a bulldozer going through a refugee camp, running over and destroying people's tents, a bulldozer that you can't see but you can still hear destroying stuff, but then it comes face to face with a Qassam fighter that fires a very accurate RPG shot into the cabin? That is one of the most powerful videos by the Resistance that emerged from Gaza. Instant Justice I would say. These bulldozers are an integral part of "israel's" plan for Gaza, and seeing it get destroyed as it's doing it's work is amazing. The bulldozer works for the genocidal cause, the Qassam fighter puts a swift end to it, it's extremely symbolic. Here's the video for those who didn't watch it
And yes, this is related to that fucking piece of shit bulldozer driver who had PTSD and then suicided because he couldn't bear with it. Hope many more zionists follow him tbh.
Death to "israel".
My University held a student's assembly today and decided: The University is now taken and partially managed by it's students until Wednesday, when the action will be temporarily suspended because we will hold a protest. However, if the Argentinian Congress fails to overturn milei's veto on education funding, a new assembly will be celebrated to decide on the next action. An indefinite occupation of the premises is not out of the question. We joined our efforts with the Faculty of Psychology of the University of Buenos Aires and other institutions that have carried out similar actions. This can become a big snowball very quickly.
Wherever this ends, it's valuable experience. Even if we don't achieve political victories, let it be known that we can work together and we can act in solidarity with one another. That's a big win, because we can find the ways to transform the material reality in capitalism, and that is, to me, the way to bring it down.
I've seen it, the videos coming out of Gaza of the huge crater made by the US-made bomb dropped on a refugee camp by the zionist genocidal entity. This, coupled with the very recent video of a palestinian emergency worker carrying the lifeless body of a young girl amid the rubble, whose head is completely cracked open and is later seen being filled with pieces of cloth just to give it some proper form for a proper humane burial... It's over, it's completely over. If the continued stream of horrific information that comes out from Gaza doesn't turn you into a radical anti-Zionist and anti-Genocide person, you're dead to me and to everyone else. There is no more room for doubters, either you're against this genocide or you fully embrace it and celebrate it. Large portions of the western world fall into the latter. Let us not forget about the decadent comprador regimes and royals who plague the Arab World, those like Egypt, Jordan, Saudi Arabia... whose lack of response directly aids the genocidal effort of "Israel".
There is no more discussion to be had, it cannot get any clearer than this, it is impossible. "Israel" has done everything they can to show the world their genocidal intentions, they're very open and shameless about it. Whoever doubts, at this stage, is supportive of genocide.
Yes they launched an attack against Haifa and possibly Eilat as well (althrough that could have been Yemen), their goal was to hit Haifa's oil refineries (seems to have been a success, media censorship in "israel" is very strong).
Yemen was also struck by "Israel", damage assesment is ongoing. Iran was also hit during the day as well.
