Gonna be heartwarming to see the DFNS, Assad, and Hezbollah marching in the same victory column

In these turbulent times the country needs a leader who will desecrate the tomb of a Sumerian warlock and then mail all his hair and nail clippings to a vengeful voodoo bog witch.

ASSAD CURSE TAKE MY ENERGY!

Does Israel think that it can 1-tag every Muslim country in the world on its own or does it think it can just mainline for the Euphrates putting children's heads on pikes along the way and when it gets bogged down the US will unconditionally bail them out?

I keep wondering about this. I feel strongly we shouldn’t be like idealist libs and just assume our enemies are irrational and incompetent (like they do with Putin or Xi); that they are guided by desires for conquest and not by material incentives.

I do not think we should assume the Israeli military command is irrational. I mean, their approach in Lebanon (bomb civilians, don’t expose your actual soldiers too much because they will get domed) while incredibly evil, is in a sense rational. BUT… I have a hard time squaring a lot of their actions within the bounds of rationality.

If I had to guess, I would say that their strategy of threats and being hyper-aggressive has never really hurt them in the past, so why stop now they figure. The US will never stop sending Israel bombs, at least not until the US literally just runs out. While that is a reality on the horizon it’s still a ways away. I think their strategy is to just bomb anyone who they feel like and don’t actually use soldiers or tanks much. Bomb someone enough who can’t hit you back and eventually they give up, is I guess the strategy.

I've seen an interesting analysis about the Zionist entity's actions.

Its essential presupposition is that the Zionist entity has no real independent foreign policy and is an extension of the US. Whatever infighting between Biden and Netanyahu is just kayfabe. The Zionist entity is completely reliant on US military aid, including relying on US bombers piloted by US pilots to bomb Gazans and Lebanese, which means the Zionist entity has no bargaining power and has to do what the US wants it to do.

The analysis is essentially that the US wants the Zionist entity to murder-suicide the entire West Asian region. The US wants the Zionist entity to escalate to the point of nuking Tehran, which will lead to an Iranian response that would reduce Tel Aviv and the oil refineries in the collaborating Gulf states to rubble. The entire West Asian region will be destroyed as a political and economic entity.

And why does the US want the Zionist entity to murder-suicide the entire West Asian region? Because the day of the petrodollar which is the basis of US financial power is coming to an end, and as the Gulf states are exploring other options like joining BRICS and being integrated through the BRI, the US wants to deny China the oil and hamper its economic growth. Their analysis is that the US has enough domestic reserves to make it through while China will be economically set back because China doesn't have enough reserves at its disposal. It's also the motivation behind China filling their entire country with solar farms and trying to get an economically viable fusion reactor.

The fact the murder-suicide will lead to a humanitarian crisis never before seen is also a plus because there will be a massive refugee crisis that will further destabilize Europe, which will further push Europe towards ever greater vassalage with the US.

It's a very ghoulish analysis, but it honestly tracks pretty well with how the US has handled Ukraine. The US baited Ukraine and Russia to start hostilities and blew up the pipeline to force the EU to be economically reliant on the US. The EU is basically never going to recover from this war, and the pissed off Banderites are excellent fodder for Gladios 2.0. The war in Ukraine will lead to braindrain as Europe's best and brightest leave for the US, which is good timing since many Chinese scientists and engineers are repatriating back to China due to Sinophobia.

I wonder if Israel is engaging in a bit of Madman theory. Trying to come across as unhinged that no one wants to really confront them for fear they'll do something massively insane. Of course engaging with the Madman theory always necessitates actually doing evil and insane things... sooo...

Israel is in its death throes much like South Africa or Nazi Germany. The unlimited money for military equipment from Amerikkka is the only lifeline they have right now.

Just like previous fascist regimes, the leadership is reliant on endless wars of escalation to defeat their enemy in one final glorious battle, but every time they just spawn a bunch of new enemies that will lead to more escalation.

Unless Israelis topple the regime itself, this is going to burn more and more money, steel, and blood until it becomes truly unsustainable for the Zionist project.

What's the lathe/whhrrr bit about?

[–] Awoo@hexbear.net 61 points 1 week ago (2 children)

Reference to the Ursula K book, around these parts it's been memed that people here cause the future to happen by controlling the lathe of heaven. The sound effect part is just brrrrrrrr.

In this case, it's being mixed with the Assad meme which is the "who must go" meme or "assad curse", everyone that ever says Assad must go has been outlived by Assad's rule. In short, Netanyahu saying this about Assad is like latheing his own end.

[–] ThermonuclearEgg@hexbear.net 26 points 1 week ago

It would be funny if the Assad curse just continued beyond belief.

For instance, we achieve global communism in 2100 when Assad, still in power and in great physical condition, becomes communist

DJT isn't dead yet, either, but neither are in power anymore, and we can dream

Lathe of heaven, it is essentially about someone who can alter reality with their thoughts.

Well, with their dreams, which they don't have control of, and are manipulated by their shrink until they dream of a reality where they do not have this power

We joke about how the worst possible ideas get manifested, as if plucked straight out of the air the moment we speak of it.

Everyone is (rightfully) discussing the curse, but do they expect Russia to just let this happen? After years of helping Assad I seriously doubt that they'll simply sit by
