๐ถ๐ฆโ๐ฝ๐บ๐ธUS out!: Qatar clamors
๐บThis video circulating on social networks shows a demonstration by Qatari citizens against the presence of US military bases in their country.
So the question is how long until he decides its nessicary
Are we keeping this thread going? I think we decided to close it today. Israel is still making threats, bombing Lebanon, activating sleepers, using drones, etc. It's devolved into low-level warfare for the moment that could flare up again at any time.
It's a situation I think we should keep an eye on. I know I will be watching this closely. So I guess it's a question of keeping everything going on consolidated, or spreading them out to different posts/communities.
What are our thoughts?
I think retiring this thread would be ok. we'll need a new one soon enough.
I want to say lets keep it open, but this is based on nothing really, as you sait its cooled off a fair bit and dispite attempts there has been no proper escalation
Seriously, fuck this guy. He should be shot for conspiring to instigate this war.
Never forget the sole purpose of the UN is to wash the blood off of Amerikkka's hands.
โ ๐ฑ๐ง/๐ฎ๐ฑ NEW: Since the 12-day war between Iran and Israel ended, Israel has ramped up its attacks and ceasefire violations in southern Lebanon, with this morningโs strikes in Nabatieh, targeting residential areas, being among the heaviest in recent times
The attacks have killed at least one woman and injured 11 other civilians.
The Lebanese President and Prime Minister have failed to condemn the attacks or issue a statement.
@Middle_East_Spectator
Is there anyone more servile then the puppet rulers of Lebanon
There are more than a dozen of these guys around the world.
Refusing to oppose or defend yourself against zionazis, then condemning your own indigenous resistance forces that liberated your country's occupations. Definitely in the top 5 most pathetic governments.
โ ๐ฎ๐ฑ/๐ฎ๐ท NEW: A poll conducted by the Israel Democracy Institute between June 15 and 17 reveals that the majority of Jews in Israel believe Iranian civilian lives hold no value in the context of the Israeli aggression against Iran
When asked to what extent Israel should take the 'sufferings of the Iranian civilian population' into account, almost three-quarters of Jewish Israelis (73%) said 'not at all or to a fairly small extent.'
Similar polls have been conducted in the past regarding military operations in Gaza and Lebanon, with the majority of Israelis supporting genocide and ethnic cleansing, and a significant portion believing that 'Amalek should be erased' and that 'all inhabitants of an enemy city should be killed, including women and children.'
@Middle_East_Spectator
I sometimes struggle to comprehend what will need to be done once the Zionist Ethnostate collapses. The level of genocidal acceptance of the population is so high that I seriously don't know what a De-Zionism process would actually entail.
I want to cope and say that these polls are just the regime's handy work to display unity (considering the level of information control that Israel is known for) but I've yet to see anything that subverts the data.
Yemenis once again hold a million-man march in the capital Sanaโa, congratulating the Iranian victory over the Israeli enemy.
In a country of 40M people. If it was actually a million people, that would be amazing and put the No Kings turn out to shame
There as another incredible one from last week: https://tankie.tube/w/o2vshB12EBz8eF4B39zAui
No Kings put itself to shame. Typical amerikkkan liberal flag-waving US military worshippers pretending to protest with zero guiding ideology or demands.
The date on this one is interesting
What a big piece of shit.
What an embarrassment for the entire field of nuclear science.
I feel like my skin is crawling knowing we are in any way associated.
The Mossad has apparently set up a "medical center" for Iranians affected by the war to contact Israeli doctors for remote medical treatment, with the Mossad spokesman calling it a "new stage in Israel's struggle" that can "bypass Tehran's official propaganda"
I have no idea how you could even pretend to spin this as anything other than a recruitment tool for Mossad agents. Iranian hospitals are operating, Iranian doctors are educated, there is no one using this other than people willing to fall into the most obvious snare imaginable.
The Mossad would only set up medical services for Iranians if 1. It needs far more agents for a future war, and 2. It is preparing for a future war where Iran's medical system is to be further targeted on the scale Gaza's and Lebanon's was.

Iran is going to retaliate right? RIGHT?
also this is just attacking civilians, how are they going to pretend this is somehow valid.
Any lack of retaliation will be seen as a green light for more attacks and even the yanks are likely to join in. Any retaliation will also result in more attacks but at least this way Iran can reduce the colonists capabilities which they will inevitably have to do.
The question is, will waiting to attack favour Iran or the imperialists?
If Iran can get new military gear (like from China,) but only during the "truce", reorganize and root out traitors then waiting a while may be the best move, but they don't have forever for that.
Right now?
Has the VAJA activated its sleeper agents?
Based on videos taken in Jordan, @sam_lair was able to identify all of Israel's missile defense sites, determine the interceptor type based on their burn-time and then estimate the number of interceptors fired. A tour-de-force. armscontrolwonk.com/archive/โฆ

๐บ๐ธThe US Congress has rejected an attempt to begin impeachment proceedings against Trump, The Hill reports.
The initiative was opposed by 344 members of Congress โ all Republicans and 128 Democrats. Only 79 Democrats supported the idea of โโremoving Trump from the presidency.
The impeachment effort was initiated by Democrats and is related to the US strikes on Iran.
โ I thought Mamdani was supposedly based, but unfortunately he is an ultra-liberal and pro 'queer'
I do not care anymore if he wins or loses, except that it will be funny to see the U.S. establishment seethe.
He does not represent Islam or Muslims, he's just another liberal apparently using Islam and his ethnicity to appeal to voters.
By @Middle_East_Spectator
Crazy that all it takes to go from "based" to "ultra-liberal" is sticking up for queer folks. Never mind the de-fund the imperial storm troopers message.
Yeah, I saw that post from Middle East Spectator. Very sad to see that post. Now, that makes me wonder if conservative muslim are usually like that(assuming the authors behind Middle East Spectator are muslim as well)?
If they are, then they seem to act very similarly to conservative christians in the Latin America. I haven't investigated anything about muslims in terms of their reaction to queer folks.
A lot of Muslims you'll see online, particularly on social media and on these political topics, are only in it for sectarian reasons, they are whipped up into such a frenzy by mostly comprador outlets like Al Jazeera and Middle East eye, that they genuinely would condemn pro Palestinian forces if given some stupid religious reason, as they did with the Syrian Arab republic, and as they very well may with Mamdani.
I think it's more a result of American cultural hegemony than religious conservatism. The anti-LGBTQIA+ culture that dominated most of the 20th century spread around the globe and especially to places where US imperialism had a strong foothold. Now de-colonial and anti-imperialist movements reject this cultural hegemony as it becomes more inclusive of these groups. They're rejecting an undoing of this chauvinism without recognizing that it was this same cultural hegemony that created it in the first place.

As if people still believed in the Yankees

This has to be because Iran is starting to pull out of the NNPT right?
and because Iran royally fucked up isisrael.
If you allow me to speculate, it could be one explanation to this.
Life is no fun if we dont allow speculation
