The Israelis are known to deliberately target the press. Just like in Gaza.

You're not winning an argument against a wall dawg. Save yourself some pain.

Jiv turkey / Subbrief (ex Navy sonnst specialists) did a interesting take on the strait situation.

Aaron knows his stuff and is typically a ra-ra pro-America / military guy. It's pretty sobering to hear him so concerned about the strategy for the economic aspect of the war.

Still think this is all a distraction/excuse to usher in programmable digital currency that has been being piloted and worked on for years already.

Similar to how covid was a lucky excuse to pump trillions into the financial sector to keep the whole system from collapsing.

International law is a concept created exclusively to defend terrorists.

So banning chemical and biological weapons helps defend terrorists?

Some people really just say anything on the internet

Add them to the dozens of journalists Israel has murdered lately

it's weird that in these backwards nations their press covers themselves extremely favorably but in the west our press covers ourselves extremely negatively.

When an Iranian official this week laid out a list of demands to end the war started by the United States and Israel, he added an item that hadn't been on Tehran's list before: recognition of Iran's sovereignty over the Strait of Hormuz.

If the Arabs don't get involved in the game now, every single one of those small ultrarich countries will be essentially a vassal to Iran.

I think you're correct about it being a calculated distraction, but it's to distract from the Epstein files.

Sitting and former presidents, European and Middle Eastern royalty, current and past prime ministers, multiple global intelligence agencies, many Fortune 500 CEO's; all of these were implicated by the sloppily redacted Epstein files. The unredacted files must contain information that is significantly worse -- more names, more criminality, videos, pics, audio, the whole menu.

A conveniently timed war is a nifty little distraction that seems to be working. For now.

It's also possible Trump is exactly like Putin and he wants to win a Big War before the end of his life and gets told there is this easy Big War to win over the Big Enemy whose oppressed peoples will welcome his armies with cheers and flowers.
And it may not be going as well as planned but he just needs to fight a little harder and it will all be won in two weeks.

Assad was really worried about international law. Terrorists do not care about compliance, this isn't the nba enforcing rules.

Images Purportedly Show E-3 Sentry Totally Destroyed From Iranian Strike

A loss of an E-3 would be a major blow for the dwindling fleet of increasingly rickety airframes and would point to other capability and defensive gaps.

It'd call that plane to be severely degraded from optimal functionality.

It could make sense for them to make threats to try to bring Iran to the table but the longer this goes on the more they risk their current economies failing.

Equating Trump to Putin is a retarded stretch though I get folks with a far ideological bent gravitate to it. Trump ultimately wants a country to not have nuclear weapons. Putin thinks Russia's territory should be restored to its 1900 level.

"Journalists". More like terrorist sympathizers.

Didn't know Israel is allowed to murder journalists for alleged thought crimes. Interesting

The bitch was a Hezbollah propagandist complete with the uniform. Why do you keep going to bat for terrorist groups?

 

[Romulus]

I think what I'm most impressed by from a tactical military standpoint is Iran knew they were coming weeks in advance and still couldn't do anything.

Begging other countries to help them save their warships by docking in their ports is the most embarrassing shit I've ever heard.

I'm not supporting the war really, just never seen such a country reduced to their only response being random missile vollies at civilians.

Not a single US plane or ship lost to Iran vs hundreds lost on their side.

They'll tell you it's all bullshit too and never improve their strategy. Probably think they "won" on every front.

It's true in this case. There's a photograph of her in Hezbollah and no one seems to dispute her alignment, they only make the claim it's also a political party. Keep representing the terrorists even in the face of facts. I see who you are.

They're not even trying to claim she was a combatant. Just literally a journalist.

 

[vindafarna]

Honestly, most of these so-called journalists are idiots. Typical that terrorist sympathizers took the risk of knowingly being human shields.

They think they'd be immune to combat by embedding themselves with armed combatants, either side-by-side or a distance. Once a firefight is on, or are an area is announced for bombardment, they will never be innocent bystanders.

I sympathize with the IDF, as they have to put up with such lunatics as their adversaries.

Can someone explain this?

from what I've been able to figure out so far, this leak isn't new, a documentary came out in 2024 with info from the leak.

Tucker Carlson just interviewed the guy that produced it and was on the receiving end of the 1000 hours of interrogation videos: Alex Gibney. That's why the tweet acts like this is breaking news.

A lot of what popped up on google was just about the documentary and the interview, and the latter doesn't have any outright indictments it's mostly speculation.

So I asked chatgpt for the facts and it says:

The suitcases of cash being delivered into Gaza = True
About 30~ mil a month = True

The footage and reporting on it being banned: True

Netanyahu continued to do so even AFTER being warned that the money was most likely being funneled into hamas.

It is reported Netanyahu said in a closed door meeting in 2019 "Anyone who wants to thwart the establishment of a Palestinian state has to support bolstering Hamas…"

He denies it of course, but is also seen saying in the videos that he does that and other espionage bs constantly to divide his enemies.

So no definitive proof in the sense of a video of Netanyahu clearly admitting to it, but yah know…

Who said they were journous? Media always tries to portray themselves as victims and such yet with know with UNRWA situation that they were complicit.

If media reported everything fairly, people would understand that USA and Israel essentially obliterated the relatively modern militarized country within a couple of weeks. Yes it could be just 15th army in the world. But the fact that Iran literally saw all the build up and failed to prepare - it is an amazing military success. The cleanup will take time and only because IRGC nutjobs decided to go with a bang, last stand under the applause from seditious western media.

The journous have some kind of god complex or something. Not just in military outlets, but literally everywhere - from gaming journalism to political one. There is some holier than thou attitude, while they are basically just glorified bloggers.
