The current situation doesn’t seem remotely existential for Israel though. Iran can fling missiles but as we know that alone won’t end a regime.

Well you’re half right at least.

This is absolutely untrue.

I’m being China-specific. All the Tibetans and Uyghurs and other Chinese minority people I’ve known learn Chinese because it gives them opportunities that they otherwise would not have. Don’t know about other countries so I won’t comment.

What’s an L about this? Everyone should be taught the dominant language of the nation they live in. Frankly everyone wants to learn the language because life without it is objectively more limited and difficult, so this won’t even really change much.

feedback loop of escalations per MAD

Who’s gonna escalate? Assuming Israel only used them in the Middle East, and I see no reason why they’d attack further afield, why would Russia or China involve themselves? Maybe Pakistan could, what are Israeli-Pakistani relations like?

How many old people died while they were bolted inside their homes during COVID?

Far fewer than died outside of their homes in the rest of the world.

China actually cared about their people’s lives honestly, all the west cared about were their economies.

Apparently these are normal storage levels for this time of year, and most British gas comes from its own natural supplies or Norway.

The war might be disruptive but this situation is far from existential for Britain.

The best example of planetary wide anarchist community is the Fremen in Dune.

Loving that the best example of anarchism is neither anarchist nor real.

All American news outlets are American supremacists whether they’re under the direct control of the regime or not. None are trustworthy.

So they really were just trying to repeat Venezuela in killing the leader and then hoping the successor is more compliant to demands?

Even if it is true, it’d never have happened if the US and Israel weren’t bombing Iran. They’re directly responsible regardless.

I don’t agree with the idea that this is all a distraction

Amerikans just love war

nations swore to stand with Iran

Who does that include?

the radar system was worth around $1.1 billion.

what is that, like 0.2% of the US annual military budget?

Jody isn’t a conqueror, they’re a consensual lover.

deaths of US soldiers

Have there been any?

They treated with the Nazis precisely because it postponed the threat.

And as freagle said, they tried to fight the Nazis first but couldn’t do so without western cooperation, which was refused. Delaying until ready to fight alone was the second best option.

Weren’t there reports that the US wanted Israel to start shooting first? Any reason to think they haven’t endorsed this attack?

What are you talking about?
