Welcome to c/news! Please read the Hexbear Code of Conduct and remember... we're all comrades here.

Rules:

-- PLEASE KEEP POST TITLES INFORMATIVE --

-- Overly editorialized titles, particularly if they link to opinion pieces, may get your post removed. --

-- All posts must include a link to their source. Screenshots are fine IF you include the link in the post body. --

-- If you are citing a twitter post as news please include not just the twitter.com in your links but also nitter.net (or another Nitter instance). There is also a Firefox extension that can redirect Twitter links to a Nitter instance: https://addons.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/addon/libredirect/ or archive them as you would any other reactionary source using e.g. https://archive.today . Twitter screenshots still need to be sourced or they will be removed --

-- Mass tagging comm moderators across multiple posts like a broken markov chain bot will result in a comm ban--

-- Repeated consecutive posting of reactionary sources, fake news, misleading / outdated news, false alarms over ghoul deaths, and/or shitposts will result in a comm ban.--

-- Neglecting to use content warnings or NSFW when dealing with disturbing content will be removed until in compliance. Users who are consecutively reported due to failing to use content warnings or NSFW tags when commenting on or posting disturbing content will result in the user being banned. --

-- Using April 1st as an excuse to post fake headlines, like the resurrection of Kissinger while he is still fortunately dead, will result in the poster being thrown in the gamer gulag and be sentenced to play and beat trashy mobile games like 'Raid: Shadow Legends' in order to be rehabilitated back into general society. --

Lots of news agencies pulling out the term 'limited ground incursion' I really wonder who falls for this shit

[–] CascadeOfLight@hexbear.net 89 points 1 month ago (2 children)

Their laughable propagandistic 'special military operation'

Our accurate and reasonable 'limited ground incursion'

Truly an incredible parody we have been given

smuglord Oho you really fall for the russian propaganda of it being a "special military operation"? You hapless fool, I am not so easily deceived.

so-true OMG slay limited ground incursion to defend yourself in another nation that you've bombed to defend yourself.

[–] Cammy@hexbear.net 56 points 1 month ago (1 children)

'Lesser evil' is unironically considered good in mainstream media, so I assume a lot of people are falling for this shit.

[–] GrouchyGrouse@hexbear.net 36 points 1 month ago (1 children)

It's funny how often they cheer for "lesser evil" like it still isn't evil. Pretty sure Sophie wasn't celebrating her Choice, motherfuckers.

[–] Cammy@hexbear.net 29 points 1 month ago

It's exactly what it says on the tin. It's evil. They know it's evil, but they throw up their hands and say, "it is what it is" and engage in evil. The evil has become so banal that it is a matter of course to practice it.

The best way to de-escalate a situation that could blow up into a regional war is... uh... Assassinating the leader of one of the main belligerents and then doing a ground invasion. Yes.

[–] Crucible@hexbear.net 56 points 1 month ago (1 children)

Their form of going to the table over Gaza involved assassinating one of the negotiators so this isn't out of character for their insane thought processes

Fuck it, fedposting

I want to see so many NATO officials and Zionists swinging from lampposts that you can use them as wind farms

There is no end to this, they will not rest until everything is dead and not a single Zionist will change their mind because doing that already means admitting things you can never be forgiven for

[–] refolde@hexbear.net 37 points 1 month ago

I'm gonna add my own fedposting fedpost in here

I want to see them all crucified and eyes taped open so they're forced to watch decolonization happen right before them.

Oh and also build a bonfire near where they're crucified and only light it during the spring or summer.

There are reports of large numbers of troops and tanks moving to the border, so it seems like they are really going to do it.

On paper, Hezbollah still has everything they need to defeat such an invasion. Either the Israeli leadership is fully detached from reality, or they have more cards up their sleeve.

Also, from what I've heard, it sounds like Israel will invade through Syria in an attempt to bypass defenses in Lebanon. But both Hezbollah and Syria have probably been preparing for that for a while now.

Opening up a second front, the fascist love that.

How's the situation in Syria? I don't think they would appreciate Israel troops on their land

[–] thelastaxolotl@hexbear.net 39 points 1 month ago* (last edited 1 month ago)

It may force a response from Assad that could end in an attept to liberate Golan heights, the syrian army is currently 130k strong who are experienced thanks to the civil war

A ground invasion against Syria will fix the Gazan and Lebanese fronts!

[–] Lussy@hexbear.net 26 points 1 month ago

Either the Israeli leadership is fully detached from reality

They are fully detached from reality. They have effectively opened up three fronts in the past month.

Let’s just assume full scale occupation is successful on all fronts, they’ve just welcomed a half dozen legitimate insurgencies that they have no chance of overcomingn in the long run. Zero. They are fucked.

i hope every IOF nazi walks over a landmine, an IED, i hope they all get shot, i hope they all get captured and put into prison and made to assemble bombs for hezbollah to drop on the zionist entity

[–] REgon@hexbear.net 41 points 1 month ago (1 children)

Personally I hope they all step on a rake and then when they've gone "uuuurgh" and step away from the rake they step on another rake then they go "uuuurgh" and step on another rake and then they go "uuurgh" and step into a deep hole full of rakes.

After Iran's massive fuckup I'm no longer confident on predicting how this will go.

Fully prepared to read about how Israel just rolled in with zero opposition because Anthony Blinken promised each member of the resistance $3.50 if they just didn't do anything.

I really hope that Mike Davis’s prediction of a small scale nuclear conflict breaking out in regional wars was off the mark.

Could I get a reality check for this? Does it mean anything? What exactly is a Nour missile?

Hezbollah fires 'Nour missile' into northern Israel

Hezbollah said in a statement that it fired a “Nour missile” at Israel, which sources familiar with the Lebanese militant group told Reuters is a ballistic missile. The missile hit the village of Kafr Giladi in northern Israel, the statement said, adding that it had fired it in response to “Israeli violations of cities, villages, and civilians.” It was the first time they have used the missile, the statement said.

President Joe Biden called for a cease-fire “right now” when asked whether he was comfortable with Israeli plans to invade Lebanon. “I’m more aware than you might know and I’m comfortable with them stopping,” he told reporters at the White House.

While giving them billions in more bombs and arms to fuel their war. Just die-motherfucker already.
