Realistically Iran doesn’t want a war right now. I think they’re quite okay with not getting a kill. They made their statement without really forcing Israel’s hand too much.
Although some warhawks are already masturbating to a fantasy of Israel retaliating.
Yeah, people have to remember that Iran not only announced a response but actually announced when they launched their drones that would take 9 hours to arrive so Israel has some time to prepare. This was show of force, probably for the domestic audience.
Heck, if you want, you can pay with hard cash by mailing it with your payment token to their office. It’s pretty great when it comes to choice of privacy.
I mean, genocide is not a single event. Even a massacre is not necessarily genocide by itself. It’s a systemic, large scale process. If we’re going to the scale of genocide, it won’t be about one or two events, but a multitude of events at which point it’s getting hard to put the blame on a rogue person or on accidents.
That aside, it’s of course something that the IDF went from “we are a modern, precise army, the best of the crop” to “no, we can’t be at fault, we have no control over ourselves, everyone just does what they want”.
Yeah, Mullvad was searched and they shrugged and said “well, go ahead” and could then proudly publish that the Swedish authorities could take zero info from there: https://mullvad.net/en/blog/update-the-swedish-authorities-answered-our-protocol-request
Don’t worry, he is well and much happier with Gary.
Don’t you think he look tired?
And even that wasn’t enough to destroy all of his public image. Dude could’ve stopped there, some people would’ve disliked him, but as far as the general public is concerned, it didn’t happen or he had a singular brain fart. But he kept fucking up to the point where even the general public is aware what a hack he is. Twitter is of course the pinnacle of his ego.
The biggest irony is that this is what libertarians like Musk say they want: for the state to keep out and have the market regulate. Well, the market is regulating and suddenly he cries about daddy government not intervening.
It used to be different, at least in his effect. Musk managed to create a public persona that for some reason stood for success. That’s how he hyped up e.g. Tesla. It’s a double-edged sword though. Just as a good name can elevate projects, a bad name can tear them down and Musks hype has taken quite the damage in the public eye and his persona turned from a strong asset into a liability.
Still using Discord and YouTube fully and reading some things on Reddit and Twitter. Not posting ob the latter two anymore though.
No, no, let him cook, the water is money and Spotify holding it back.
Imagine other stereotype foreigners for every taste.
The short worded German.
The Frenchman who burns the boss’ car to send the message.
Now imaging when the American isn’t telling the king off, he just dances and falls on his butt a lot.
It 's wild to think that some people might VPN to the EU for basic rights.
This is what solidarity looks like.
Boy, I wonder which Linux distro OP uses
But for real, I think she needs an editor. For all the problematic content the Harry Potter books still worked to the end as a story. Everything past that completely flew off any rails and I have the feeling there is nobody anymore who tells her “no, that doesn’t make any sense you should rewrite this”.
So Israel did the same thing as Iran, an attack that signals strength but isn’t really a serious attack, but Iran actually ended the current issue here. I wonder if that’s a level of finger too, that Israel couldn’t stop without having the last word, but Iran actually could.
Both countries don’t really want direct war with each other at this point, and Israel specifically has its hands full with Gaza and Hisbollah right now, its allies urging it to tone down the carnage and they have to snarl at an Iran that isn’t even willing to fight against the US wishes. I can only take from this that Netanyahu that war will end and he has to take his hat.
