No, as much as I'd love to see it, they're far too cowardly and obsessed with appearing respectable to actually do anything.

What can they do about it? The US blew up Nordstream and the Germans didn't even complain.

Honestly, the cry bully fascism of the Israelis it's just infuriating at this point. How can anyone say that with a straight face.

Gallant was calling Palestinians "human animals" within a week of Oct 7th and bombed every hospital in Gaza, so this isn't a big shift in rhetoric or policy. Still, the Israeli government seems to be falling into more internal squabbling, which shows that the resistance is having some effect at least.

I'm probably being a huge edgelord for saying this, but I honestly feel that Americans who vote either democrat or republican don't deserve quiet. All of them saw the genocide that both parties are supporting and thought, at best, "this is bad, but it doesn't affect me enough to care." or "more dead kids please!" at worst.

I just can imagine being with someone that arrogant, how could you even stand talking to someone like that?

The only thing I can think it could be some kind of culture clash Israeli have with... every other culture, somehow? Maybe all these action that make Sinwar look noble and heroic to most people look like something only a chump or loser would do to Israelis or something. That or Israelis have dehumanised Palestinians to the point where they don't think they have any real agency and assume everyone else sees Palestinians that way.

I really don't get how Americans can be so smug about wars that they lose. This time they can't even boast about their K/D ratio (mostly Civilians) like it's Call of Duty, so that have to just make up treat brained racist nonsense like this.

It fits pretty well In that they'll just show a photo of the event and imply something really bad happened afterwards, but when you see the video and most people just seem to ignore her. Kind of like how the video of Tank Mans show the tanks try to drive around him.

That's true for basically every western politician.

Is there any evidence for DPRK troops fighting for the Russians, or even in Russia at all?

This is probably copium, but it reminds me of the Strategic Hamlet Program, which failed to isolate Vietnamese peasant from the Viet Cong. If anything, it ended up making them more sympathetic to North Vietnam.
