As a fan of spawning unimaginable horrors of man's twisted minds to be employed in the furtherance of defending democracy against authoritarians and theocratic fascists, I approve of whatever the hell this thing is.

Providing it's us using them. If it's Russia, China, or Iran making them then clearly they're a crime against humanity and we must invade immediately to prevent this evil from being unleashed upon the world.

Tankies will go nuts with glee finally seeing their antisemitism affirmed.

That's one Israeli national acting unlawfully and being tried in a US court. I don't think that's representative of the Israeli government.

Fondly remembering when Russia came out in support of Hamas and that Israeli dude went nuts in a live TV interview shouting that when they were done with Hamas in Gaza they would come for Russia too.

I've been eagerly awaiting since then for the day when we see Merkavas and Abrams tanks roaming the Ukrainian battlefield side by side as brothers hunting Russian orcs.

Sometimes I find the gleeful acceptance of Hamas's monstrous rule and apologia for their heinous crimes we see online almost too much to bear.

I am glad this woman has finally been rescued from what must have been hell for her. I hope in time more and more people in Gaza get the opportunity to be freed from Hamas's cruel grip on power.

I dunno, they seem to be thriving in certain Lemmy communities.

Here we go again.

It was actually a mildly heartwarming incident last time around. Seeing the whole region collaborate to defend Israel against the Iranian attack inspired some hope that maybe things weren't quite so bad over there and that broad support for resisting Iran's axis of influence in the region was achievable.

It'll be interesting to see how it turns out this time around. British and American defensive support can of course be counted on, but I wonder if Israel's actions in liquidating Hamas, Hezbollah, and PFLP members will have soured their neighbours on resisting Iran.

Regardless, fingers crossed that their attack fails.

I'm not sure there is one anymore.

Dwarfed though it is by the heartbreaking tragedy being inflicted on Ukraine, it's tragic too to see Putin's militaristic propaganda embed itself so completely, even among the country's youth.

I doubt even a full mobilisation would cause sufficient unrest to end the war now, nor would an even higher rate of Russian casualties cause Putin to cease his tyrannical conquest.

Her level of delusion is remarkable.

It's not just self-delusion, which is frighteningly common among our political class (and at which she also excels), but a thoroughly complete delusion about the entire universe around her.

I'm not sure I can name an equivalent from the left. The sort of folks who might be so completely wrong about everything are consigned to the minor socialist and communist parties, never making it close to the mainstream — though perhaps some echoes of an equivalent delusion are present among the new crop of independent MPs.

I'm actually growing fond of seeing it. Not her, of course, but of her place in our political discourse. Her conduct on election night was hilarious, and her flirtations with American politics in particular since have been wild. I'd rather she go away entirely, but in a perverse way I'm glad she's providing such entertainment.

Very kind of Walz to host a one-on-one seminar on how to be a normal human person for Vance's benefit.

I tragically can't stay up for this one but I'm hoping to see clips of some excellent, "They're eating the dogs," discourse tomorrow.
