By the time the west has gone through its collapse phase, and begun to try something new socially and economically, it's going to be so far be behind.

Even from a purely nationalist chauvinist angle, neoliberalism has been an unmitigated disaster.

The one that hit a bunker penetrated easily and definitely obliterated the planes inside. I'd say maximum there's room for 3 planes at a push in that hanger.

There are several near hits on other bunkers, so clearly at least maybe 10 or 20 percent of the missile salvo was dedicated to the F-35s.

This is from before the attack. Looks like the IDF just run some nasty oily planes.

Just checked, these are the tankers, they're super old narrow engined 707's. Very oily leaky designs, plus half a century of usage.

Yeah if I was Iran I'd want those tankers dead. Mostly because the F-35 can't reach Iran without refueling.

They didn't hit the Russian base its self, but rather an Iranian compound nearby.

The portion of the base that holds the F-35's is a few hundred meters north of the current released satellite images. All we've seen so far is the tanker/air recon section of the base that keeps large planes out on the tarmac. Those "blast" marks from heated or oiled tarmac from four engined planes.

This conduct reaffirms the respect for the law that has prevailed in the actions of the Bolivarian Republic of Venezuela in the international community.

This fake government in exile and their westoid backers have no regard for law or democracy.

The Venezuelan government really isn't afraid of these Guaidó plays. That or they are stupid.

Wow, when your 8 day trip turns into an 8 month trip.

Visceral dislike is how I'd describe it too.

In order to lie the way they do, they need to know the truth, and yet materially gain from lying. They are demonic manifestations of evil untruth. They are not capable of redemption, their entire existence is manipulation for gain. I will never advocate for mercy for the stenographers.

I've noticed this a little too - being atomised works both ways, you can forget that a huge number of people actually are just awful and malicious, not just indifferent.

For whom? You underestimate the radicalization of Gaza over the past few years.

currently trying to genocide

This piqued my interest, since a lot of the Uyghur genocide narrative collapsed years ago to the point that even the journalists that were reporting it began walking it back.

Taking a look at who is currently reporting on "Uyghur genocide" in 2023, and it's all organisations like Voice of America, Radio Free Asia, United States Institute of Peace - basically (literal) US government propaganda agencies reporting on the US congress proceedings.
