The video evidence is already out. Plus basically every European knows what an ultra is, and will look at the number of injured and comment “wow, that is lower then normal”
This is just ultras who got their asses kicked and are trying to claim victim status.
This is the funniest cope I’ve ever seen for ‘my countries ultras tried to start shit with non-football hooligans and got their asses kicked.’
Fighting people who aren’t women and children without total air superiority isn’t that easy, is it?
Not in the West Bank.
… How many villages in southern Lebanon has the IDF captured, again?
Let me guess, you think declaring victory and running away in 2006 meant they won, right?
Man, you should talk to Emperor Gowron. You guys share some ideas.
Edit: and no, cutting edge weapons systems on the Iranian/Russian side have not been used. The west would literally salivate at the opportunity to get some real world data on the S500.
Also, the purpose of American weapons systems is not to be the best. The purpose is to be an expensive and effective way to funnel middle class money to the stock holders of Boeing and Raytheon. Good military systems are as effective as they need to be while being cheap enough to manufacture in large numbers. An anti missle defense system that costs 2 million per missile intercepted when the missiles themselves cost 10 - 100k is an absolute failure, even if it intercepts everything it targets.
Frankly, the country with the most impressive drone program in the world is Yemen.
No, it isn’t.
The only gymnastics someone is doing here is trying to tie a stupid domestic politician to a much greater foreign policy evil THAT HE HAD NOTHING TO DO WITH. He also didn’t have anything to do with the Armenian genocide, and bringing him up in that context would be as relevant as bringing him up in this context.
Again, this isn’t hard to understand.
…
RFK Jr. Is a crazy fuck. He also isn’t relevant to this topic at all.
Bringing him up in this context is literally providing cover to the people responsible for this moral failure, and tying it to someone who, while bad and crazy, has no particular relationship to this topic.
This isn’t hard to understand.
I think you meant CIA, as mentioned by others.
The OP literally posted only two other posts and they’re both about the lies Israel published about the ‘command center’ underneath Al-Shifa.
Russia makes more money from the sanctions being in place from their oil sales then without the sanctions.
That is the definition of failing.
P.S. Russian oil has full reach of the market because countries that should abide by the sanctions aren’t.
So inferior that the Israel strike that was supposed to accomplish SEAD turned and fled when target locked by an unknown anti air defense system?
Most (including US) current generation weapons systems have been untested. There is a reason and a strategy for all weapons producing countries doing the same thing. Using current generation systems where their effectiveness can be studied by the enemy is giving the enemy free information.
In other words, using qualifiers like inferior or superior for literally untested weapons(and yes, weapons are untested until used against an enemy) Is purely a faith/propaganda thing.
Good job not addressing the main important point of the post you’re responding to, namely the absolute reliability of the Gaza Health Ministries numbers.
You try and throw uncertainty about the death toll by linking the Health Ministry to …Hezbollah… to try and discredit the numbers. The numbers that basically EVERYONE at this point (except for people who are biased to the point of any unwillingness to believe, you know, fucking reality) accepts as rock solid.
Actually address that point. It’s the basis for all of your comments in this thread. The foundation, if you will.
Someone that confuses two entirely different governments, with two different armies , and two different fucking religions knows nothing about the region and doesn’t deserves words in any replies.
Correcting hezbollah/hamas after the fact still indicates your awareness or knowledge of the situation, regardless of any “I don’t know what I was thinking” you add in an edit.
Just a reminder that Voice of America is literally a paid for propaganda outlet of the US.
Given what I’ve seen you moderate in news on Lemmy.world, I wouldn’t be so quick to accuse others of letting their biases impact how they treat things that go against their world view.
Their Oct 1 attacks were in response to the assassination of Nasrallah, in combination with a response to the assassination of a visiting diplomat in Tehran from a separate attack from Israel.
Iran agreed not to respond to the assassination because the US promised that if Iran didn’t respond, the US would secure a peace deal for Gaza.
The fact that they delivered and the US didn’t is well known to the Persian people, even if it isn’t here. And, the lack of response was considered internally there as encouraging Israeli aggression.
The whole ‘nothing is more important than the US election’ is far less accurate than you think it is.
Iran has it’s own internal politics and factions it needs to appease.
This is true of most countries too.
The US invasion of Iraq had far more to do with internal politics than it did with any actions of Saddam.
The current elected leader of Iran was actually the concillatory to the west candidate, elected when tensions were not quite as high.
Now that tensions are high, he has to prove he’s not too weak to his own constituency, as the Persian people come together under what they consider to be an unjust attack.
Again, this is true in general for most countries. Foreign policy is driven far more by domestic politics then most people consider.
This analysis ignores the internal motivations for foreign policy.
This is almost getting the point of Arrandts ‘banality of evil’ comment.
Most human evils are done by ordinary humans.
There is nothing specially evil about Nazis.
Fascist governments are made up of ordinary people.
