  • I mean India missed some Israeli made glide bombs on Pakistan probably because they don’t have proper access to military GPS or their INS info had deviated, so all 3 bombs hit like 100 yards left of their intended target.

    I do find it sort of difficult to believe Iran’s INS technology could be that poor even for ballistic missiles, so I guess it’s possible, especially since both times they made it clear they never attacked US targets nor publicized destruction of some high value assets. Though I feel like Mossad would have figured this out since they seem to have so many informants.

    Still it kind of would have been cool to see Israel more exposed to aerial attack with some destroyed aircraft since they otherwise have complete air superiority in the region.







  • The USA us probably confident, Israel just needs it as a existential threat.

    Stuxnet and their targeted assassinations of Iran’s scientists seem to have made their efforts unfeasible for the foreseeable future. They have the enrichment cylinders, but they can’t keep both the infrastructure and research safe from constant attacks, which makes progress very difficult since it is very expensive both materially and in knowledge. They likely can’t break past 20% enrichment which is useless for a bomb.

    For reference the technology was supposedly smuggled/provided by Pakistan, and they did it covertly in about 6-9 years, which also apparently upset Mossad because they thought Pakistan would get involved in the middle east.




  • Every attempt to invade/attack/degrade Israel failed in this same assumption.

    I’m gonna be honest and say that no country in the region deserves to even liberate the Palestinians except Palestinians themselves, and even then Hamas made the same mistake. None of their allies are trustworthy or truly care about the Palestinian cause, they simply want the resources or geopolitical influence for their own.

    • KSA and the oil states started out as classic colonial British backed anti ottoman factions, almost like the insane warlords in Afghanistan that ran the government for 20 years. They are nothing but shitty feudal dynasties that are currently propped up by US economic interests and oil money.

    • Egypt is a failed army state that thought that simply being in the military automatically makes you better and guaranteed for success (surprise it was all corruption).

    • Jordan actually put up a small fight with its rather limited resources until its King was assassinated and replaced by a shill.

    • Lebanon was and still is just a proxy war between Israel, Iran, and Syria.

    • Syria is a knockoff military dictatorship enthnostate embroiled in war crimes.

    • Iraq is another failed army state that thought it could actually take on the USA, despite also failing to do anything with Israel or Iran.

    • Iran is a backfired attempt by the US to control every country in the middle east, so now its an insane religious dictatorship.

    Every Arab-Israeli war to date is filled with nepotism and failure. Egypt alone fought multiple “wars” in an attempt to regain the territory lost in the 6 day “war” which basically a curb-stomp by the IDF, even after Jordan warned Egypt of the impending attack.






  • I’m honestly surprised it took this long before Teflon and PFAS in general became a more public issue.

    Especially after project farm showed how easy it is to scratch the coating material. I think only like 2 pans actually held up somewhat in hardness.

    Not objective by any measure, but I don’t think ingesting dissolved iron is as bad as dissolved Teflon.


  • This is sort of a recent Pakistani joke, but they’ve been calling ISI (Military Security Org) the admin of pornhub because they’ve been threatening politicians and judges with hidden/planted camera videos placed in bedrooms.

    So now the Army’s (and by extension Pakistan) #1 export is porn.

    It would be funnier if they didn’t immediately follow up with torture and death/forced disappearances if you refused to budge on calling out corruption.


  • 1920s max bruh, this is a colonial issue, especially since it was initially set off by Britain.

    There’s plenty of documented media of Palestine existing rather normally as a loose collection of cities around the area. Lots of photographs and written logs of people who visited. Population was mostly Muslim and then Christian.

    Before Britain, it was simply under control of the Ottoman empire.

    It all set off when Britian made it a colony and set off a nationalization movement with the Balfour Declaration. It doesn’t matter that it was historically fought over by several civilizations, it’s just that GB didn’t want to deal with Jews either, and decide shipping them off to a colony was a good idea, since it worked well with Australia.
