Let's fuse ourselves to genociding rapists. That's awesome!
It's worth checking out TrueAnon's (it's a podcast) first two of a three-part series on Israel extracting sperm from dead soldiers for post-death insemination. (The third one is still pending.) It's a weird culture.
Fuck israel.
Is trump going to bring the IDF to help with election fraud or whatever bullshit he will manifest to justify it?
After Iran, who is the next target?
Well finishing up Lebanon first. Then Syria, Jordan, and eventually Egypt.
The US has been doing a lot of denouncing Cuba recently.
I mean, if you're a right-wing US president looking for an easy and ideologically acceptable target, Venezuala and Cuba are right there. The fact Trump did a detour through menacing Canada and Greenland first just shows how dumb he is.
There can't be many examples in history of an empire being cucked by it's own client state, but here we are.
Herod did that to the first couple of Roman emperors until Vespasian clocked on what was going on
Thank you, now I know what I'm going to be reading about for the next several hours.
I give you two hours before you're reading about sharks or moss
Or the history of the letter Q
The US is officially in the cuck chair
Dumbest nation on this dumb ass fucking planet. What a fucking disgrace.
This is what happens with unchecked individual wealth.
The Medes were the pre-eminent indo-iranian group for a bunch of the iron age.
They were integral to the grand alliance that finally brought down the Assyrian Empire, after similar alliances had formed and been defeated. The Median Empire took over huge chunks of the defeated empire and their name was so well known that even in the Persian Wars, the Greeks referred to joining the Persian Empire as Medizing.
Speaking of, one of the subordinate tribes in the Median Empire's coalition was a minor regional player that today we call the Persians...
god i hate religious people
They're only the greatest source or war and murder in human history. What's not to like?
It all makes sense if you take into account that Epstein was a Mossad agent.
Mossad and the CIA were already joined at the crotch going back to their foundings.
Why do I get the feeling that at some point in the future we are going to have a world war against the fascist US and Israel.
We are at war with Iran, we could already be in a world war.
There is no war in Ba Sing Se, it's just a series of special military operations with names like "Project Freedom" /s

Because that's how it's played out every single time throughout history and that's exactly how it will play out now. The longer we wait, the more blood will spill.
The American far right making sure America's little settler outpost in the middle east can continue to do genocide unimpeded by domestic opposition.
Well they fucked their arab allies in the region. They lost their bases hosted by those allies. This means the Americans can't rely on the pre-existing material base or the goodwill of the arabs. What they got left in the region is Israel. Perhaps they think they no longer need the arabs to project power.
America First 🇺🇸
America First Patriots means giving TRILLIONS of US Taxpayer Dollars to the Israeli Military!
I thought you guys didn't vote for Kamala because she wouldn't give up helping Israel... Well done!
Blame ordinary folks instead of pushing primaries to remove the genocidal maniacs in charge, that will solve it!
"In democracy, the people get the government they deserve."
Americans are fucking morons. They deserve this government.
...yeah, but the rest of the world deserves a better neighbor.
No blame just praise! Keep it up!
Section 224 of the NDAA calls for expanded US–Israeli coordination in the areas of defense tech, including AI, quantum, autonomous systems, directed energy, cyber, and biotech.
Cool. We're all getting in on the same set of contractor scams.
Previously the US government was only going to be scammed by US companies. In this plan, they'll also be scammed by Israeli companies, which if my mall kiosk experience is accurate, are already extremely proficient at scamming.
Does anyone know why Israel has so much power? They are too small to be a world threat and don’t have the resources to really demand much. It has to be some greaseball back room shit. But what do they have?
Imagine for a moment that the purpose of Epstein's sex trafficking was to get compromising video and other evidence to use for blackmailing powerful leaders and such for Israeli intelligence.
I don't claim to know for sure that is true, but I feel like a great many things make more sense if it is.
They're America's unsinkable aircraft carrier next to the gas station
Nah, Israel does JACK SHIT for the US militarily speaking. It's one way relationship. No bases or Israeli assets have ever been available to the US.
They provided NOTHING during the Gulf War other than being a wedge and diplomatic liability. The US had to send a bunch of assets into the empty Iraqi desert (thus weakening main front) just to hunt SCUDs taking pot shots at Israel.
They are the most ungrateful pieces of shits. And they openly respond with THREATS whenever America shows even the slightest hesitation on giving them anything and everything they want (Not long ago Pollard on was on an Israeli TV show bragging about threatening the US with the same nuclear weapons he helped create!)
And just recently Trump inquired about Israel contributing troops or support (because the US military is a joke now) FOR A WAR THEY ASKED THE US TO START and they said "lol no." And that dumb pedophile just keeps licking their assholes.
And also being slavish Israeli enablers has had massive detrimental to US relationship with Arab allies (who the real power brokers in the region) and has made itself a target by proxy.
This just scratches the surface of how shitty Israel is to the US.
The attacked the USS Liberty as well, for example.
Israel should be declared persona non grata, and ceremoniously kicked off our fucking welfare the second a Democrat takes office. I'm tired of funding these ungrateful deadbeat, genocidal assholes.
Ukraine right now is at the forefront of modern warfare innovation. Despite being small and embattled, larger countries are coming to Ukraine to learn what they are doing with the latest drone tech. For Ukraine, this is a real, everyday, life or death battle and they have been thrust to the cutting edge of what’s possible by this. They are also very smart and making the most of it.
Meanwhile the US is fat and slow and sheltered, invested in the warfare of decades past. So the US has a lot to gain from watching closely what’s going on or even having a formal security partnership with Ukraine to learn first hand.
If the US goes a whole generation without major military conflict, it will literally forget how to do it and lose its edge. It will have no battle hardened commanders and all its tactics will be decades old. I believe this is one reason the US starts so many conflicts. Its whole empire is built on its military might and that sword needs to stay sharp.
What does this have to do with Israel?
Well, I want to avoid direct comparisons between Ukraine and Israel, because one is an innocent nation that’s been brutally invaded and the other is an aggressive religious ethnostate carved out of other people’s lands and maintained through force, brutality and espionage.
But let’s just say that Israel, too, is very active in warfare, counter terrorism, and espionage. Remember their scheme with the exploding pagers? When’s the last time the US pulled off something like that?
The US wants to learn from Israel. Like Ukraine, Israel is full of smart people who are living it every day and pushing the boundaries. You don’t get into top condition without real experience and pressure, exercise. Israel has that in a way the US does not.
This is one factor. There are many others including the wackadoodle religion stuff. But this is one factor I did not see mentioned yet.
They have been involved in bribery of world leaders for decades, they have a PAC that is deeply embedded in US politics, and they have invested heavily in intelligence collection (HUMINT and SIGINT), including gathering and creating compromising information about key individuals.
Israel has one of the strongest intelligence agencies in the world. Does Pegasus ring a bell? Actually, they may even see what you have typed on your smartphone in Lemmy.
As far everything you post on Lemmy is public. No need for spyware.
May be my words were not clear enough: THEY SEE what you do with and in your smartphone, public or private - does not matter. Otherwise just watch a doc on YouTube or PeerTube about Pegasus or read in the web. This is serious stuff and nothing to make fun about, because it violates your private sphere.
Every day worse than the last.
A community for discussing events around the World
Rule 1: posts have the following requirements:
Rule 2: Do not copy the entire article into your post. The key points in 1-2 paragraphs is allowed (even encouraged!), but large segments of articles posted in the body will result in the post being removed. If you have to stop and think "Is this fair use?", it probably isn't. Archive links, especially the ones created on link submission, are absolutely allowed but those that avoid paywalls are not.
Rule 3: Opinions articles, or Articles based on misinformation/propaganda may be removed.
Rule 4: Posts or comments that are homophobic, transphobic, racist, sexist, anti-religious, or ableist will be removed. “Ironic” prejudice is just prejudiced.
Posts and comments must abide by the lemmy.world terms of service UPDATED AS OF OCTOBER 19 2025
Rule 5: Keep it civil. It's OK to say the subject of an article is behaving like a (pejorative, pejorative). It's NOT OK to say another USER is (pejorative). Strong language is fine, just not directed at other members. Engage in good-faith and with respect! This includes accusing another user of being a bot or paid actor. Trolling is uncivil and is grounds for removal and/or a community ban.
Similarly, if you see posts along these lines, do not engage. Report them, block them, and live a happier life than they do. We see too many slapfights that boil down to "Mom! He's bugging me!" and "I'm not touching you!" Going forward, slapfights will result in removed comments and temp bans to cool off.
Rule 6: Memes, spam, other low effort posting, reposts, misinformation, advocating violence, off-topic, trolling, offensive, regarding the moderators or meta in content may be removed at any time.
Rule 7: We didn't USED to need a rule about how many posts one could make in a day, then someone posted NINETEEN articles in a single day. Not comments, FULL ARTICLES. If you're posting more than say, 10 or so, consider going outside and touching grass. We reserve the right to limit over-posting so a single user does not dominate the front page.
We ask that the users report any comment or post that violate the rules, to use critical thinking when reading, posting or commenting. Users that post off-topic spam, advocate violence, have multiple comments or posts removed, weaponize reports or violate the code of conduct will be banned.
All posts and comments will be reviewed on a case-by-case basis. This means that some content that violates the rules may be allowed, while other content that does not violate the rules may be removed. The moderators retain the right to remove any content and ban users.
