There are already fiber optic lines connecting India and Europe through Suez, Bibi. What are you talking about?

And how tf will you get a rail line through the ocean?

Also I want to murder everyone cheering and clapping for Bibi

Waffle House closes Tallahassee-area locations as Hurricane Helene approaches Florida

Waffle House Index

The Waffle House Index is a metric named after the ubiquitous Southern US restaurant chain Waffle House known for its 24-hour, 365-day service. Since this restaurant always remains open, it has given rise to an informal but useful metric to determine the severity of a storm and the likely scale of assistance required for disaster recovery. It was coined by former administrator Craig Fugate of the Federal Emergency Management Agency (FEMA). The metric is unofficially used by FEMA to inform disaster response.

....

In 2022, because of the expected severity of Hurricane Ian, 35 Waffle Houses closed in Florida prior to the storm's arrival, an extremely rare event. Hurricane Ian eventually made landfall as a Category 4 hurricane with winds of 150 miles per hour (240 km/h), peaking out over the Atlantic Ocean as a Category 5 hurricane.

Reupload because the first upload was only 48 seconds for some reason. Anyway it's a pretty hype video, more interesting than the 15th rocket trail in the sky video anyway.

Sirens and warnings going off in a lot of areas of Israel, expecting a lot more strikes.

“If Zelenski were smart, he would advocate diplomacy, not a military solution,” Says President Lula da Silva.

The statement came after the Ukrainian accused Brazil and China of helping Putin achieve his goals in the conflict.

He was referring to a plan to end the war announced by Brasilia and Beijing in May, after a meeting between Wang Yi, the Chinese foreign minister, and Celso Amorim, Lula's adviser on international affairs. “What he [Zelenski] is failing to do is make peace. We're not proposing to make peace for them, we're pointing out to them that only peace will ensure that Ukraine survives as a sovereign country, and that Russia survives,” said Lula during a press conference at the UN in New York.

“They don't have to accept China and Brazil's proposal because there is no proposal. There's a thesis that it's important to start talking.” “If he were smart, he [Zelenski] would say that the solution is diplomatic, not military. This depends on the ability to sit down and talk, to listen to the other side. And trying to reach an agreement so that the Ukrainian people can have peace in their lives. That's it.”

Zionists are complaining that they can no longer be Nazis in South African universities, namely in Cape Town - Haaretz (paywalled btw, )

In related matters, South Africa has also apparently more-or-less resolved its loadshedding woes by achieving nuclear fusion from Zionist tears.

Milei accuses UN of imposing ‘socialist’ and ‘collectivist’ agenda

In his first speech at the UN’s general assembly, the president said Argentina would abandon its long-standing neutrality regarding world conflicts

In his first speech at the United Nations headquarters, Argentine President Javier Milei accused the international organization of promoting a “socialist” and “collectivist” agenda, and said the country would abandon its long tradition of neutrality regarding world conflicts.

“The woke agenda’s collectivism and moral posturing have collided with reality and no longer have credible solutions to offer to the world’s real problems,” the president said during the UN’s 79th General Assembly.

In a speech replete with religious references, Milei said that the UN had “became a multi-tentacled leviathan, which seeks to decide not only what each nation-state should do, but also how all the world’s citizens should live.”

Milei also said the UN’s 2030 Agenda for Sustainable Development, a 17-point goal declaration adopted by all member countries that includes goals such as tackling climate change and achieving zero hunger, is “a socialist supranational government program.”

The president also criticized the UN’s Pact for the Future, which Argentina distanced itself from on Monday, and aims for member countries to commit to action on issues including peace, poverty, climate change, and gender equality.

“We invite all nations of the free world to join us, not only in dissenting from this pact but in creating a new agenda for this noble institution: the agenda of freedom,” he said.

Milei listed alleged “mistakes and contradictions” the UN had committed, such as voting against Israel, which he called “the only country in the Middle East that upholds liberal democracy.” He also said the 2020 COVID-19 pandemic lockdowns worldwide were a “crime against humanity” and said that the UN “allowed the Human Rights Council to support bloody dictatorships such as Cuba and Venezuela without the slightest reproach.”

Since taking office, Milei has aligned himself with Israel and the United States, as well as international far-right political organizations such as the Spanish Foro Madrid and the U.S.’s Conservative Political Action Conference.

("Israel" and the "United States" are also far right political organizations)

Milei also accused the UN of promoting a “toxic relationship between global governance policies and international lending agencies” and of “requiring the most impoverished countries to commit resources they do not have to programs they do not need.”

Argentina took a US$44 billion loan from the IMF in 2018, during Mauricio Macri’s government, and currently has an economic program agreed with the international lender to pay back the debt. Argentine media had previously reported that Milei was planning to meet with IMF authorities during his trip to the U.S., but the meeting did not come to fruition.

“From this day on, you should know that the Argentine Republic will abandon the historical position of neutrality that characterized us and will be at the forefront of the struggle in defense of freedom,” he said. Argentina has maintained a long tradition of neutrality regarding world conflicts, dating back to before World War II.

Okay then, I support Russian and Chinese surgical strikes to decapitate and demilitarize the anarcho capitalist entity that is "Argentina". 100% this motherfucker will announce he'll be sending troops to Lebanon to fight for "Israel". What is he even going to do, send all of our three tanks and one serviceable destroyer from the 80s?

“May God bless the Argentines and all the citizens of the world, and may the forces of heaven be with us,” he said, before ending his speech with his usual guttural roar of “long live freedom, dammit!”

cringe

Milei arrived in the U.S. on Saturday night. During his trip, he rang the Wall Street opening bell and spoke with investors. He also met with X owner Elon Musk for the third time. After the meeting, Musk posted on X that his “companies are actively looking for ways to invest in and support Argentina.”

Later on Tuesday, Milei will meet with Ecuadorian President Daniel Noboa and the head of the European Commission, Ursula von der Leyen. The president is expected to return to Argentina on Wednesday morning.

hope a ballistic missile falls where they meet.

I don't know where to post this, but I thought I'd share on my friend's behalf as the situation gets desperate by the minute.

If you can, please help by donating to her aunt's family who are stranded in the northern part of Lebanon, who couldn't take a whole lot with them, who barely escaped in time: https://zrzutka.pl/shpjea#.

And if you can't, please share this with someone who can. If this is the wrong place to post this, please point me to the right direction. Thank you.

لَا إِلَٰهَ إِلَّا ٱللَّٰهُ

My biggest takeaway from Blowback season 5 so far is Norodom Sihanouk kinda rules, and I cannot believe I'm saying that about a monarch.

Anyone know what to expect with the possible International Longshoremen's Association strike?

Some articles:

Reuters: US Labor department reaches out to employer group amid possible port strike

NYT: A Looming East Coast Port Strike Could Shake the Economy

In a rerun of their fearmongering over the railroad strike two years ago, the NYT is emphasizing that this could ruin Christmas:

Chris Butler, the chief executive of the National Tree Company, which sells artificial Christmas trees and other decorations, said his company had brought in goods early and made greater use of West Coast ports. But he estimated that 15 percent of his goods would still be stranded by a port strike.

Jacobin: East Coast Longshore Workers May Soon Strike

Pezeshkian just did an interview with CNN and said: Hezbullah can't stand against Israel on its own.

It even became headline in Iranian media let alone Zionist, see it for yourself. The problem is the message that it sends to poor Lebanese. 😑

On a scale of 1 to 10 how likely do you think war is?

I've been barely following the conflict. I just woke up and when I checked the news about Lebanon - I saw the news that Nasrallah had been killed. On this "live updates" page - the list of recent events on this page certainly made feel war is immanent - Lebanon live updates: Hezbollah confirms that leader Hassan Nasrallah killed in Israeli airstrike

How significant is this from the list? Emphasis mine.

• Iran, Hezbollah's powerful ally has condemned the strike, calling it a "blatant war crime," that crosses its red lines. Iran announced today that it will begin sending troops to Lebanon.

Can't take it anymore god I'm losing my mind... again. Making another deranged post where I'm rambling on about stuff I can't even thinkabout no more.

Been losing my mind all fucking day ever since the news and all the fucking zionist freaks hooting and celebrating.

I just want to see every zionist punished and physically torn apart. Every smug piece of shit experiencing all the worst pains you can imagine.

I'd toss away whatever fucking morals I have left, drag my own name through the mud, condemn myself to hell if it means I get a chance to punish all of these genocidal monsters wearing human skin. I'd commit every war crime you can think of under the sun, and hell, I'd even invent new war crimes just for them. I'd bring back every fucking medieval torture method just to punish them.

I haven't been able to enjoy anything today. And there are people who are happy anyone who supports the resistance feels like this.

I can't keep it together. Try as I might I just end up relapsing into complete rage-filled despair again, over and over and over. Because the worst people in the world have all the power, and always seem to get everything they want. Always getting vindicated. Always always always.

Why can't there be a literally invincible and untouchable force or state or whatever that has the power to just threaten and crush all imperialist and genocidal freaks overnight with no repercussions? Instead we have a seemingly invincible and untouchable state in the form of the US that just does whatever it wants with no repercussions, such as aiding and supporting genocide.

If Israel wins and succeeds in their genocide, I don't see how I don't just devolve into full misanthropy.

EDIT oh god i feel slihgtly dizzy

101st Airborne in Cyprus

Sirens going off east of Tel Aviv, a full 120 kilometers from the Lebanon border. The furthest Hezbollah has struck so far in this war. There are also videos of settlers in the West Bank fleeing from Hezbollah strikes nearby.

Haifa is being bombarded by repeated waves of missiles, targetting Ramat David air base and military/industrial infrastructure. Warehouses for the Northern division were also struck.

I still don’t really buy the whole “Israel is trying to pull the US into a war” line. I think the US knows perfectly well where this goes, and has for a very long time, and are making their own calculations about what the best moments are to apply what sort of pressure or action. Like I just refuse to believe the entire US military and state apparatus is like “fuck are we getting pulled into something here? What do we do?” The end goal is rooting out any uncontrolled opposition to global capitalist order, methodically and systematically. Overcoming contradictions, or redirecting them into new usable/controllable forms. Of course by the very nature of fire you can only control it for so long. I think for the US that process is much different and longer than any of us understand though. But the US clearly has aims for Iran and China as it does for Russia. And I don’t buy the ruling class would allow itself to “get dragged” into something it didn’t want or wasn’t actively trying to use. Lying to Iran is a great example of this

It wouldn’t be a Netanyahu speech to the UN without Windows 95 ass visual aids.
