"Hybrid regime" is just a fancy name for oligarchy, and the argument that Ukrainian state cherishes the lives of its military aged men is a bit silly. Democratic states and authoritarian states are equally as capable of using human lives as currency when they view a war as existential. They weigh that against demographic and economic concerns. That's all.

Only because they have fewer men. Have you seen the draft gangpress measures? People are being sent to be cannon fodder, under-equipped and underprepared.

Biden and his Democrat predecessors made Palestine the test case for how to ratchet up international law violations. In 2024 after a year of genocide we had Bill Clinton still spouting Biblical gibberish to defend Israel. That they're handing off to a kakistocrat who talks bombastic nonsense about annexing Greenland, the Panama Canal and Canada shouldn't distract from Democrats' committment to the uniparty Death to Arabs consensus.

A gerontocracy as well as a kakistocracy. What's the point of all that global power if this is what it amounts to?

Billionaires literally buy the US Judiciary now. Us in the Middle East watching your kakistocracy make life or death decisions for us... we need nukes or something man. The next 4 years are so fucked.

In truth they wish they can start shooting Americans in America if they dare criticize their unholy little alter ego.

Very funny how the article keeps mentioning "spyware vendors" generally when it's basically just the Israeli ones involved.

I like Eric Adams. Every recent NY mayor is a crooked cretin but he is at least comically, hilariously crooked.

Could you explain what you mean?

Terrorism straight up just means "violence but offensive to the particular sensitivities of the elite." Always has. Go back to the Paris Commune and it's the same shit.

US said to ask Israel to cover tracks better so as not to implicate US in the extermination of Arab babies

It doesn't make sense to universalize that moment into some kind of lesson about liberalism and fascism though. And the USSR only joined the war when attacked after havjng conspired to split Poland with fascist Germany.

That's not true, they 'gave Hitler a slap on the wrist' because just 20 years earlier they lived through a war that killed 11 million people and were psychologically unprepared for another one. And the liberal order wasn't attacked by fascists at the outset really, Poland wasn't part of it. In fact there wasn't really a liberal order at all. It was ultimaty a matter of balance of power.

Again, I have no clue what you're talking about. I'm not going to live in a hut in the woods and neither are you.

They have been since the USS Liberty incident.

Uh... the liberal powers sided with Joseph Stalin to beat Mussolini and Hitler in the biggest war involving liberals, communists and fascists?

Do you think you're being insightful or something? That's not even true, states sometimes compel and coerce firms for that information even when it may harm the profit incentive through reputational damage.

This cartoon is pretty outdated now that it's a Jewish state and its liberal internationalist backers who are committing the extermination of a people and annexation of their lands.

Almost like it has less to do with security and more to do with securitization of economic competition.

I have no clue why you're posting an X user called "Syrian girl" next to an image of a guy who was reacting to civilians burning to death in a tent in front of him.
