We are not here to play moral game

It’s nice to get updates on events as they happen this way

I like megathreads because they improve conversation on a topic

FIFA peace prize in shambles, board of peace blown to pieces.

Its part of the plan to rig the elections in November for sure

Yeah, giving a prognosis on the duration of a war is usually not the best idea.

Sincerely, a Russian. We've been stuck in our oh so glorious three day war for over four years now.

The American way

As someone who doesn't enjoy megathreads, is it just because people don't want to see multiple articles in their feed? I've seen megathreads

• get abused by mods (mass deletion of anything even loosely related),
• user engagement is buried (100 comments in 10 different articles is better than just 500 comments in a megathread to me),
• and it's harder to see updates/new happenings without constantly checking back in for edits.

Mod megathread's also seems like an overreach of moderator's role. They are now in the driver seat of a pinned, mega popular post and it goes to their head (I've been in communities before where they just start blanketing megathreads for anything that's gaining traction and squash even legitimate posts). They now also have added workload onto themselves by having to curate even further what gets posted at their discretion (and competing with their own post).

Good in theory, bad in practice. Most people won't see new info/comments, and will just read the most upvote ones, which in megathreads end up being weeks, or months old. So they just end up at silencing dissent and a way for mods to control the narrative.

Back in my army days, every chopper that went down, whether in a warzone or not, was deemed an "accident" or "mechanical failure". Once two choppers went down and we were told they just crashed against each other, lol. I don't believe these "accidents" anymore, maybe 1 out of 10 cases but this is just a lie to keep morale up, I'm positive.

FWIW Russia shot themselves, so it’s not quite the same.

If the US had shot its own jets down … that’d be funny.

its a distraction from the epstein files, he timed the moment he was asked to "depose in front of congress". Israel needs the distraction too from his own internal problems.

Who benefits from Trump’s war in Iran? The answer is disturbingly clear.

Who wants Iran bombed off the map, for their own reasons? Who are their rivals and enemies? Perennially, the Gulf Arab states, countries like Saudi Arabia, the United Arab Emirates and Qatar.

You know, Qatar. The country that just gave Donald Trump a really, really nice $400 milion-dollar plane, a gilded flying palace for his own use both during his presidency and after?

And you remember the United Arab Emirates, recently structuring a totally pointless crypto financial transaction so that $2 billion of it was stuffed into the Trump family’s otherwise worthless brand-new crypto financial firm?

And you remember the Saudis who stuffed $2 billion into the pockets of Trump’s son-in-law Jared Kushner just as Trump’s first term in office came to a close? Enough people were alarmed about that they actually bothered to come up with an excuse for what made it OK. They said, don’t worry, Jared will never again work for the U.S. government; he’s never coming back to Washington, so we’ll never have to worry about having someone involved in U.S. policy who has also been given billions of dollars by Saudi Arabia.

Well, who was leading the negotiations on behalf of the United States with Iran before we just started this war with them? I mean, Secretary of State Marco Rubio was in St. Kitts and Nevis. It wasn’t him. It was Jared Kushner, who was recently paid billions of dollars by Iran’s chief rival, sitting alongside Trump’s tiny real estate friend, Steve Witkoff, whose son recently sought to improve his family fortunes by going to Qatar to seek money from its sovereign wealth fund.

Some guy who regularly shits his pants raped kids with a guy that worked for mossad. He and/or mossad had that guy murdered a couple years ago. People started asking too many uncomfortable questions recently so this was the best course of action.

Trump is desperate to keep the Epstein files out of the spot light so he is doing anything to keep attention elsewhere. As soon as the Winter Olympics stopped distracting people, the orange pedophile launch the USA into war.

On the other part, Netanyahu needs to keep Israel in war so his own corruption trials do not catch up to him... with Palestine ~~raised~~ razed to the ground, Iran is the next target

Breaking the nuclear taboo on a country that's exhausted its ability to fight back seems like it would be buried somewhere in the Project 2025 fine print.
