“I’m gonna let Israelis suffer losses for a bit to remind Bibi who’s really in charge here”

Yeah, I’ve been thinking about Marx’s words somewhere on the introduction to Grundrisse, along the lines of “you can’t expect to pillage/dominate a nation of shareholders the same way you pillage/dominate a nation of farmers”, arguing that dominating a nation is dominating their production: if you’re dealing with an agricultural nation, you focus on their land; but if you’re dealing with an industrial nation, you have to focus on their workers (ability, knowledge, fitness to work), tools and finance mechanisms.

This is going to morph into another endless attrition conflict, isn’t it? WWIII is shaping up to be the ultimate showdown of industrial capacity vs industrial capacity.

I guess endless conflicts that burn through a lot of equipment as quickly as possible to open up space for more buying is the logical endpoint of a for-profit military force. The good news is that Marxism is the framework to pull this kind of beast by it’s leash.

For no reason, but is Venezuela planning on getting nukes soon?

I can’t look at any reddit comment without considering there’s a very high chance it’s a chatbot fishing for reactions

This feels like an ad for ED pills

On the flip side, thats a bunch of interceptors less.

What is the possible missile to interceptor ratio they have available right now? How fast can they both replenish what they’re using?

LMAO I hope this is true

Some of the missile+interceptions videos are very interesting, if you abstract whats happening in them. It looks like a constellation moving down, with some of the stars flicking off one by one

If I were a bloodthirsty warhawk of a nation, I would simply not depend on half a dozen building complexes

Welp, here we go. The world is about to suffer one of the consequences of oil dependency.

I wonder if the Xi Jinping tweet is related to this specific type of escalation

Hopefully every business rooted in that land fails spectacularly without workers or buyers🙏

I am reminded of that picture of a man placing food for cats among the ruins of gaza

I wasn’t expecting such blatant gaslighting not even 24h after Iran got attacked

Realistically, what would be the way towards ending Israel right now? I imagine a boots on the ground approach is wishful thinking, US and the EU would risk their own heads before letting that happen.

So, wrecking their economy beyond repair? Destroying ports, roads, airports, power plants, infrastructure…? Making Israel poisonous for investments?

Also, do you think this is the endgame here for Iran and their allies? The political-economic sphere in west Asia is so complex to me that I have no idea what would even be in the interest of each player

On pride month, no less!

Of course it’s right in the middle of a populated city
