The American reaction in the second frame should've been: cool, here's more weapons.

I was out of the loop

For real though, Biden + his foreign policy and military advisors are gonna win a mental gymnastics competition with this shit

[-] TankovayaDiviziya@lemmy.world 36 points 2 weeks ago

Biden be like: "Come here, anything for you haBiBi"

Biden is a simp to Netanyahu.

[-] dragonfucker@lemmy.nz 7 points 2 weeks ago

Drag hears that Biden even does Netanyahu's laundry

Making fun of the IDF on Reddit? That's a paddlin'.

[-] nuke@sh.itjust.works 39 points 2 weeks ago* (last edited 2 weeks ago)

How is this making fun of the IDF? Seems to me the topic is the Biden administration's arbitrary restrictions on Ukraine.

[-] KillingTimeItself@lemmy.dbzer0.com 33 points 2 weeks ago

to be clear, ukraine went ahead and did this anyway. And then the US lifted restrictions on this kind of stuff (idk if it was completely, but they did do it)

It's not really arbitrary, it's just geopolitics being geopolitics, ukraine and the rest of europe showed that russia would bluff, and we're supporting them more now.

I guess it should make sense coming from a partially republican legislature that doesn't even believe in the ukraine war to begin with.

[-] Valmond@lemmy.world 7 points 2 weeks ago

It's about atacms strikes deep (+100km) inside russia, what according to you did they do "anyways"?

The trick to a good proxy war is that everyone involved has to participate via proxy. Russia broke the rules and now we all have to walk on eggshells.

[-] MisterFrog@lemmy.world 16 points 2 weeks ago

No, according to the poster, this post was removed from r/NCD (on Reddit).

FUCK YOU RUSSIA

[-] ghen@sh.itjust.works 28 points 2 weeks ago

Lmao fuck these wars are complicated but there is one simple fact we can agree on

[-] peopleproblems@lemmy.world 12 points 2 weeks ago

Ah yes Ukraine and Israel are both American proxy wars and not totally different conflicts with different politics run by independent countries

[-] TrousersMcPants@lemmy.world 76 points 2 weeks ago

We sure are supporting Israel a lot for it to not be a proxy war though...

[-] leftytighty@slrpnk.net 55 points 2 weeks ago

it's not a proxy war they're just using American money and weapons and some American citizen soldiers

[-] Sundial@lemm.ee 17 points 2 weeks ago

And America is using that to exert their influence on that region in the world. Sure sounds like a proxy. Just because Israel has more power in American politics compared to Ukraine doesn't mean they aren't a proxy.

[-] petersr@lemmy.world 5 points 2 weeks ago
[-] CanadaPlus@lemmy.sdf.org 13 points 2 weeks ago* (last edited 2 weeks ago)

I mean, the difference being that the US has a say in how one in conducted, and a very justified interest in it's outcome, while the other is in the Middle East.

Why they are running a proxy war that's out of control and doesn't help anything is a good question, and one that can only have stupid answers.

I mean…. They’re two totally different conflicts with different politics run by independent countries…. That are also proxy wars being funded by the US and China.

[-] psud@aussie.zone 5 points 2 weeks ago

I wonder how Russia feels as the proxy in the fight rather than the supplier of a proxy in the fight

They did what?

Also, the auto fill results when you type in "Israel bombs" are interesting.

Everyone! Dont you see! Isreal is trying to divert Russian troops from Ukraine. This is a win!!!

[-] Linkerbaan@lemmy.world 10 points 2 weeks ago

If this pulls Russia out of Ukraine to attack israel that would make me so happy

[-] ICastFist@programming.dev 14 points 2 weeks ago

I hope that's just a joke, it's not like Israel needs more enemies

[-] roguetrick@lemmy.world 19 points 2 weeks ago* (last edited 2 weeks ago)

Russia supports Iran while the US supports the paragons of Israel and Saudi Arabia. Kind of like the US was leaning Pakistan while Russia leans India. Now China finds more value with Pakistan than we do though (which will eventually make us do something stupid to "support our interests").

[-] sugar_in_your_tea@sh.itjust.works 11 points 2 weeks ago

Yeah, I still don't understand the Pakistan thing. Pakistan:

  • harbored Osama bin Laden
  • has pretty uninteresting economic output
  • has serious beef with their much larger neighbor India, and are somewhat friendly with Iran and China

Whereas India:

  • has a ton of people
  • already has pretty extensive economic ties to the US, which could be strengthened, and is a ripe alternative to China for production
  • has tensions w/ China, so we have mutual enemies
  • is highly unlikely to harbor any of our enemies

Yet we keep them at arm's length.

I could say the same for Israel and Saudi Arabia. Why are we so intent on picking the worst possible countries in a given region? The only explanation is that we want war...

[-] PugJesus@lemmy.world 8 points 2 weeks ago

Sunk-cost fallacy stemming from Cold War-era choices.

I think they've gone beyond somewhat friendly with China. They've got PLA troops in Pakistan now doing anti terrorism work. The chances of the Chinese establishing a naval base in Pakistan is far from remote at this point, though I think it would be a back channel red line from the Americans regarding further military funding.

netanyahu needs Israel to have more enemies so that he can maintain a stranglehold on power indefinitely. basic fascism

[-] jaybone@lemmy.world 5 points 2 weeks ago

Is Israel bombing Russian airbases now?

[-] ristoril_zip@lemmy.zip 4 points 2 weeks ago

Is this a permission versus forgiveness example?

Of course, now that Ukraine asked for permission and NATO (not just the US) said "no," if they deliberately attack that's extremely bad.

A community for your defence shitposting needs

Rules

1. Be niceDo not make personal attacks against each other, call for violence against anyone, or intentionally antagonize people in the comment sections.

2. Explain incorrect defense articles and takes

If you want to post a non-credible take, it must be from a "credible" source (news article, politician, or military leader) and must have a comment laying out exactly why it's non-credible. Low-hanging fruit such as random Twitter and YouTube comments belong in the Matrix chat.

3. Content must be relevant

Posts must be about military hardware or international security/defense. This is not the page to fawn over Youtube personalities, simp over political leaders, or discuss other areas of international policy.

4. No racism / hatespeech

No slurs. No advocating for the killing of people or insulting them based on physical, religious, or ideological traits.

5. No politics

We don't care if you're Republican, Democrat, Socialist, Stalinist, Baathist, or some other hot mess. Leave it at the door. This applies to comments as well.

6. No seriousposting

We don't want your uncut war footage, fundraisers, credible news articles, or other such things. The world is already serious enough as it is.

7. No classified material

Classified ‘western’ information is off limits regardless of how "open source" and "easy to find" it is.

8. Source artwork

If you use somebody's art in your post or as your post, the OP must provide a direct link to the art's source in the comment section, or a good reason why this was not possible (such as the artist deleting their account). The source should be a place that the artist themselves uploaded the art. A booru is not a source. A watermark is not a source.

9. No low-effort posts

No egregiously low effort posts. E.g. screenshots, recent reposts, simple reaction & template memes, and images with the punchline in the title. Put these in weekly Matrix chat instead.

10. Don't get us banned

No brigading or harassing other communities. Do not post memes with a "haha people that I hate died… haha" punchline or violating the sh.itjust.works rules (below). This includes content illegal in Canada.

11. No misinformation

NCD exists to make fun of misinformation, not to spread it. Make outlandish claims, but if your take doesn’t show signs of satire or exaggeration it will be removed. Misleading content may result in a ban. Regardless of source, don’t post obvious propaganda or fake news. Double-check facts and don't be an idiot.
