Just think about how much good could happen all at once if the other party was real opposition. Join an org and build some actual opposition.

didn't make sense that they don't stop coming and they don't stop coming and t

I presume at some point they do stop coming. At least for this instance of the universe.

Given that the Nobel POS Prize has devolved into a tool of imperialism, they should have just given it to him. He only wanted because Obama got one.

[-] Le_Wokisme@hexbear.net 23 points 3 weeks ago

"has devolved" is an understatement and a half. goes back to kissinger at least.

Real week where decades happen shaping up here.

[-] Johnny_Arson@hexbear.net 52 points 3 weeks ago

Yeah this shit is fucking wild. We had the kidnapping of Maduro to kick off the new year, two broad daylight executions of civilians not even participating in any protest by fascist goons everyone more or less recognizes as foreign (as in not even from their state) occupying force whom the police are essentially letting terrorize people with impunity, potential new front about to open up in the Middle East, another tanker this time flying the Russian Federation flag, and to cap it off there have been 10 mass shootings already this year.

[-] Ultrathor@hexbear.net 34 points 3 weeks ago

Don't forget announcing air strikes on Mexico, a web site for historical revisionism of recent events. Richest man in the world just making child abuse material now.

[-] Johnny_Arson@hexbear.net 30 points 3 weeks ago* (last edited 3 weeks ago)

announcing air strikes on Mexico

lmao WHAT?! This I had not heard about what the actual fuck. The US Mexico border is the largest most porous land border on earth what the fuck are they thinking?

[-] piccolo@hexbear.net 16 points 3 weeks ago

"fighting cartels"

[-] oliveoil@hexbear.net 32 points 3 weeks ago

How many weeks where decades happen have we had since 2020?

We need a name for this measure of time. Leninchronos?

Already approaching 2 Leninchronos 8 days into January.

Didn’t the Russians evacuate their staff from Israel this week too

[-] BanMeFromPosting@hexbear.net 14 points 3 weeks ago

That was only reported by Ukrainian and Israeli newspapers

[-] CloutAtlas@hexbear.net 14 points 3 weeks ago

A Russian government flagged plane left Tel Aviv on those plane tracking apps, it's not entirely baseless but I think other sources would report on it if it's a full evacuation.

[-] oliveoil@hexbear.net 47 points 3 weeks ago* (last edited 3 weeks ago)

Facts:

  1. US embassy staff in Israel are being withdrawn
  2. US embassy staff in Lebanon are being withdrawn
  3. Israel's forces in the West Bank are withdrawing

The implication is that Iranian backed forces will send boots on the ground to Israel.

Or maybe Israel will send boots into Lebanon.

Insane.

lathe-of-heaven

Israel being emboldened by America’s recent aggression in the Western hemisphere, decides to attempt simultaneous attacks and/ or decapitation strikes on Iran, Lebanon, Yemen, and Syria all at once. This ends up dragging Israel into a multi-front war with Iran, Hezbollah, Ansarallah, and maybeee HTS all at once.

Saudi Arabia, angered at Israel’s interference in Yemen, especially after the UAE recently used Somaliland (which Israel diplomatically recognized last month) to smuggle a UAE-backed STC leader into the UAE to avoid peace talks with the Saudis, decides to let the Iranian missiles and drones fly over Saudi airspace unimpeded.

Israel gets utterly overwhelmed and asks the US to intervene. America tries doing some precision airstrikes ala Iran 2025, but Iran cannot afford another “peace agreement” that results in a return to status quo when there’s currently mass protests/ colour revolution happening within their borders too. America continues airstrikes and decides to hit a nuclear facility partially run by Russians. Putin calls Trump and warns him to back off or he will retaliate ten fold in Ukraine. Trump agrees because Putin is a “nice, but tough guy” and he likes tough guys. Also, he is already too busy starting conflicts in the Western hemisphere.

Now there is no off ramp and the entire ME region has become an Arab-Iran vs. Israel conflict. Israel eventually faces internal revolt which forces the government leadership to flee the country, resulting in total chain of command collapse which the Palestinian resistance takes full advantage of to liberate the remaining occupied territories.

Can I get some informed (or even sort of informed) detailed guesses about what might happen in the next few days? I don't know a thing about what's up. I can guess that Iran is involved but that's all I got.

[-] ColombianLenin@hexbear.net 48 points 3 weeks ago

Good news: Israel is about to get deleted from the map.

Bad news: A lot of Iranians and other people in West Asia are also going to suffer.

[-] nfreak@lemmy.ml 44 points 3 weeks ago

Here's hoping for the best outcome

[-] DaMummy@hexbear.net 38 points 3 weeks ago

It's a good sign that all out war between Israel & Iran is breaking out, way worse than the last one.

[-] Mardoniush@hexbear.net 31 points 3 weeks ago* (last edited 3 weeks ago)

Well, either Iran is going to collapse and you're gonna get regional civil war as Iran lets its proxies off the chain and launches everything it has, and Israel attempts to take stuff in the chaos.

Or, they've already realised that Iran has controlled the protests and their colour revolution has failed, and here comes the blowback.

Or, Israel has decided to unilaterally march to the Euphrates taking advantage of the current international chaos.

[-] oliveoil@hexbear.net 22 points 3 weeks ago

March to Euphrates and fight Iraq on the ground???

That would definetly be a sight to see.

Welcome to c/news! We aim to foster a book-club type environment for discussion and critical analysis of the news. Our policy objectives are:

We ask community members to appreciate the uncertainty inherent in critical analysis of current events, the need to constantly learn, and take part in the community with humility. None of us are the One True Leftist, not even you, the reader.

Newcomm and Newsmega Rules:

The Hexbear Code of Conduct and Terms of Service apply here.

  1. Link titles: Please use informative link titles. Overly editorialized titles, particularly if they link to opinion pieces, may get your post removed.

  2. Content warnings: Posts on the newscomm and top-level replies on the newsmega should use content warnings appropriately. Please be thoughtful about wording and triggers when describing awful things in post titles.

  3. Fake news: No fake news posts ever, including April 1st. Deliberate fake news posting is a bannable offense. If you mistakenly post fake news the mod team may ask you to delete/modify the post or we may delete it ourselves.

  4. Link sources: 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 the Xcancel.com (or another Nitter instance) or at least strip out identifier information from the twitter link. There is also a Firefox extension that can redirect Twitter links to a Nitter instance, such as Libredirect or archive them as you would any other reactionary source.

  5. Archive sites: We highly encourage use of non-paywalled archive sites (i.e. archive.is, web.archive.org, ghostarchive.org) so that links are widely accessible to the community and so that reactionary sources don’t derive data/ad revenue from Hexbear users. If you see a link without an archive link, please archive it yourself and add it to the thread, ask the OP to fix it, or report to mods. Including text of articles in threads is welcome.

  6. Low effort material: Avoid memes/jokes/shitposts in newscomm posts and top-level replies to the newsmega. This kind of content is OK in post replies and in newsmega sub-threads. We encourage the community to balance their contribution of low effort material with effort posts, links to real news/analysis, and meaningful engagement with material posted in the community.

  7. American politics: Discussion and effort posts on the (potential) material impacts of American electoral politics is welcome, but the never-ending circus of American Politics© Brought to You by Mountain Dew™ is not welcome. This refers to polling, pundit reactions, electoral horse races, rumors of who might run, etc.

  8. Electoralism: Please try to avoid struggle sessions about the value of voting/taking part in the electoral system in the West. c/electoralism is right over there.

  9. AI Slop: Don't post AI generated content. Posts about AI race/chip wars/data centers are fine.
