Ben Givir and his armed fellowship of settlers apparently.

Israel has been a fairly large supporter of Ukraine in terms of equipment and ammunition and such.

Can I ask where you read this? That seems blatantly untrue.

Isreal's lack of overt support to Ukraine has been a ongoing issiue from early on of the 2022 invasion. Western nations were also asking Isreal to help and they still refused.

Also, if you assume war materials are finite resources... Israel is going to be less likely to share if they have an active war on their own home turf.

Well the Isrealis are almost out of certain types of ammo and needed the Americans to drop them literal tons to keep the fighting going.

The Americans are the ones supplying both Ukraine and Isreal, Isreal had the chance to help supply Ukraine before but that chance is out the window now.

I mean, correct me if I'm wrong, but I feel like Ford's future is going to be a struggle.

They completely killed making any cars smaller then Trucks or SUV's in North America and I really hope it comes back to fuck them.

I'm not crying that they won't make Ford Focuses anymore or whatever, but pretty much only people left to buy affordable, small cars from anymore is the Japanese and Koreans.

Good riddance to Ford. They long outlived their usefulness.

A Ford TV ad slams competitors for accepting bailout funds, even though the company’s CEO lobbied for the bill. The company — the only one of the Big Three not to receive a bailout — feared a collapse of GM and Chrysler at the time would have hurt suppliers and, in turn, Ford itself. Ford Chief Executive Officer Alan R. Mulally also asked Congress for a “credit line” of up to $9 billion in case the economy worsened. In other words, Ford was for government bailouts before it was against them.

And ford took more money from Biden's green energy plan. Ford is definitely guilty as fuck as slurping up government surplus and firing workers the second they stop making them a profit.

Genuinely asking, how is that any better? And really, if you were trying to stop fragmentation from killing other people in a room wouldn't your actual core do a better job of that then your legs?

The first of his name,the leading seaman, the destroyer of moonies, Saint Blunderbuss I. Long may his name reign. Long may he live.

IDF killed a Reuters reporter earlier today with Helicopter. They've blown up the Al Jazeera offices during previous wars and shot Shireen Abu Akleh dead while she was clearly marked as press.

This is no mistake. There is a pattern of suppressing and killing journalists who don't report the story in their favor.

Now those are some wise fuckin words.

Jealous. You're gonna have a great lineup ready when the next pandemic drops. 🔥🔥🔥

There is no way an evacuation is happening. They will use all these weapons on an area in which civilians cannot escape.

There is no total military control after the 7th. Rockets are still being fired. This is the definition of out of control.

Urban fighting is pure nightmare fuel for all parties.

It'd probably be safer for the civilians, to open up refugee camps outside of the contested area, allow inspected movement,

That was never really on the table in Palestine. And especially less so now that there's 1200 dead Isreali's. They are not crossing into any lands held by the IDF without becoming prisoners.

The Egyptians have also refused to keep the border crossing open so fleeing to Egypt isn't an option either.

The pogroms have already started in response. There's nothing or noone that can stop this fight now. Sometimes the gears of history turn and crush those beneath it. And this time we're helping crush people beneath those gears. Its all fucked.

Even if the Isreali's completely level Gaza they will then have to fight a Stalingrad-esque campaign of fighting militants and remaining commandos in the remains of the city. Not to mention whatever tunnels survived the raids.

No matter how you cut it, thousands will die on their side if they push. They don't really seem to have a choice to back down now, but even if somehow they keep their casualties limited in Gaza, now the entire northern front has opened up with Hezb and other milita entering the frey. Its really a trap you can't win.

Yeah. To be honest most liberal and social democrat governments are playing right into the hands of the right wing too.

Too afraid to crack down on the far right, but still too conservative to commit to large public spending on housing and sustainable infrastructure. Or in Germany's case, nuclear energy.

I have hope for those organzing outside of electoralism, those organzing within it in the West are in for another rude wake up call soon. They keep ignoring them.

Westerners are not more tolerant or intolerant then any other people on earth, we generally just have higher standards of living as a result of economic and military hegemony. As that continues to decline for more and more previously " wealthy " people the fascist radiclization will get worse in the West.

We need new ways of living and bold ideas. The far right nor neoliberals can offer that to people. Liberals will tolerate dissidents but they will never take meaningful action on the issiues of class, the military industrial complex or encomcis for the most part. It needs to change from the outside in.

If you read the wiki it details that police and soldiers took part in the abuse alike. Of course this doesn't happen with every U.N. deployment, but the bad blood and amnesty towards peacekeepers will not be easily forgotten by the locals.

The courts are probably saving everyone some trouble here.

They had warnings an attack was coming. They probably thought it would be pretty insignificant though rather then a proper offensive.

Theres some other good discussion of this already in this thread, to reiterate what others have said, its not unthinkable to belive that the government may have ignored those who warned of this, assuming they could politicize a minor attack, only to be caught completely off gaurd when a complex, multi pronged offensive appeared.

There's a big difference between 9/11 and the WTC parking lot bombings. When warned of terror attacks in early 2000's, America was probably thinking of the former rather then latter.

Netanyahu said:" Those Who Attacked Israel Will Remember Israel’s Military Response For ‘Generations’ "

We are going to see some horrific war crimes in the weeks to come. And all of our countries are backing them up. Whole thing is fucked.

The mental gymnastics conservatives are going to do when Florida is finally submerged will be powerful enough to power all remaining homesteads in the United States.

Depends on how you see it. Last time U.N. peacekeepers were in Haiti it was a complete disaster. They were caught running child sex trafficking rings.

It was in fact, so prolific there is an entire wiki dedicated to it.

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Sexual_abuse_by_UN_peacekeepers

On the other hand, without some sort of outside intervention or help the status quo in Haiti will remain. I don't really think any of it is " good " so to speak but I struggle to imagine another U.N. mission will bring about fruitful results for anyone involved.

Bolton is an idiot.

Ok, and he still represents the warhawk/neocon type of thought in Washington.

How stupid you think he is doesn't really change how Trump already had his mind made up on leaving NATO. I'm no fan of NATO, I think it will collapse eventually. Trump just further cracked an already strained relationship.

I’m right. I’m just not far right and we have few politicians who are. Most of them have little to no power anyways.

Seems like Gaetz just got your speak of house pruned didn't he?

Its not like you have to be particularly far right to support Russia/ oppose arming Ukraine. " centrists " and Warhawks aside there isint too many vocal right wing voices supporting Ukraine.

Putin also didn’t realize how bad his army was and how effective the javelin is or how hard the Ukrainians would fight.

That situation would have been very different if Trump was in charge of the U.S.A when Russia rolled across the border.

He would have cut a deal with Russia at the expense of Ukranian territory like he did in Syria cutting a deal with Turkey.

The Russian's nearly captured Mykolaiv. Had the Ukranian's not received continued stinger and Jav support + other early equipment the situation could have been different. I don't like playing the alternative history game but I disagree with your assessment of Trump fully.

He would not have played his cards like the Biden admin did.

Trump just wanted everyone to spend more on the military. He wasn’t a threat to nato.

https://www.washingtonpost.com/politics/2022/03/04/bolton-says-trump-might-have-pulled-us-out-nato-if-he-had-been-reelected/

I’ve pondered when Putin goes away (he will at someone as we all do) will the next guy be worse or better.

The good go young. Putin will probably live to 100 like the bastard Kissinger if he's not killed or removed from presidency.

Anyways I would not recommend the assumption that the American right will not try and pull out of NATO. Being anti NATO is now a cornerstone for far right populist's in the West.

And of course, Russia cannot do all that much to NATO in its current from, but Putin was betting on the U.S. weakening NATO so he could take the baltics and force NATO into an institutional crisis. He just got unlucky that Trump fucked up so badly he couldn't get a second term, even with trying to steal the election.
