It could be that there was no crash in Washington and they just delayed the announcement of a hornet shoot down months ago. It could partly be why they've swapped up to F-35 and B-2 bombing.

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.

He says a lot of stupid stuff, but surely this would be playing right into Hezbollahs hands?

Perhaps this is just to quiet down the displaced northern settlers for a while.

More like 50x larger. and better armed.

Give it 5 years. By the next general election there will be two types of voters - mask off fascists, and confused libs with shattered world views.

I think over the next decade, more countries will move to create their own Great Firewall type architecture to reduce foreign influence and ensure trade protectionism.

You can't reeducate someone who's keenly aware of the real horror of the situation, and instead takes money to cover it up.

Okay but the problem is that maiming people and destroying their homes is wrong, and that Israel has a disproportionate amount of power in order to do so on a far larger scale.

The people of Palestine are seemingly stronger willed than you.

To where? What about the ones who are born in Israel and grew up there? What is it that you actually expect to happen to Israeli civilians, and why do you believe that historical injustice is an excuse to inflict more harm?

Our opinions on that don't matter.

America invented them and used them in Vietnam. The Soviets copied them.

They're extremely simple soft body plastic with liquid explosives. Squishing them and increasing the pressure of the liquid inside sets them off. Enough explosive to take most of your foot off.

There's no reason to be afraid of people engaging with your opinion.

There's no "brigading", it's simply a large instance of people who can see active threads, that's all. They can't downvote you, so are accustomed to responding to things thoughtfully and in earnest. There's no reason to be afraid of them unless you literally want to see zero opposing views, or, unless you'd like to call them "tankies" or "bots" but can't cope with similar treatment in kind.

Moon of Alabama is conservative yes, but their analysis also comes from the same starting point as ours; that we are interested in figuring out what is actually going on rather than the narrative the stenographers that call themselves journalists would like us to follow.

It's the same reason you'll see articles from Forbes, Business Insider and such here. They're publications that will incidentally report elements of inconvenient truth since their business isn't purely about fabricating reality.

No one here goes to MoA for the comments section.
