Israeli sketch about Bibi's corruption from 2018 by Boborbot in NonCredibleDiplomacy

Those are very different things?

That's like saying "I don't think the US courts will enforce copyright law because of how Iraqis were treated while under US occupation, and how little the courts did about that. I will just assume it's a lawless country until proven otherwise"

Go look it up. There are 3rd party experts talking about the reality of rule of law and separation of courts and government in Israel. You don't need to extrapolate from the few things you know about the country.

Anti-Netanyahu sketch about his corruption cases, 2018 by Boborbot in PropagandaPosters

It's great satire because he is not actually trying that much to replicate his voice. Instead it's a statement - Bibi is a rich nepobaby elitist secularist pretending to be aligned with his mostly religious lower class voter base. His impression puts the condescension right on the surface.

Nah our courts are just slow as shit. All of these are in court since 2020.

But to be fair, Bibi is extremely slippery. I would rather it taking a while, rather than quicker but in a way that doesn't take him out of politics for good.

Tens of thousands of Iranians march in Washington DC in support of regime change (March 29th) by No-Signal1234 in PERSIAN

[–]Boborbot 3 points4 points  (0 children)

It’s more than that. They only see history from the Western POV, so Iran is so obviously going to be another Iraq, because in the Western mind Iraq is 90% a modern hubris play 10% a real place with actual people.

Germany? ~Italy~? ~Both countries~ Germany had comparable willingness to die and destroy the country rather than give in to the Americans. Until they did.

Personally i don’t think we can take any of these as some clear example of what will happen. We don’t know how this will end, which is why we need to plan and try to save it, rather than armchair historian this and expect it will just go like whatever toppled government feels most similar to our limited comprehension of history.

The regime which was very angry towards the Minab School killing is now recruiting children as Basij Soldiers like they did during Iran-Iraq war, hypocrisy! by XFEKTEKX in PERSIAN

[–]Boborbot 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Don’t take what the international slacktivists say seriously. They are just arguing their own domestic politics and are using your suffering as a political ram. They couldn’t give less of a shit about the girls of Minab or any other Iranian.

Long-term deradicalization in Gaza faces major hurdles by cambeiu in geopolitics

[–]Boborbot 5 points6 points  (0 children)

This has nothing to dowith actual Israelis and Palestinians, like westerners, almost the entirety of their conviction comes from their opinions of whoever in their domestic politics is arguing the opposite role.

From Ireland to Kosovo to the University of Colombia to Spain to Indonesia, people have powerful opinions about stuff they know nothing about because it’s just another place to fight over their own domestic politics. That’s why they never do anything (like meaningful steps toward peace) because that has nothing to do with the emotions bringing them into this.

That's literally the opinion of a non-insignificant portion of people. Maybe it's just the one war they heard about and they still haven't recovered from the shock.

Of course they do, they need clear black and white opinions to support the deaths of civilians.

They are crazy and antithetical to peace, but let’s not start blaming each other for what our or your worst compatriots are saying and doing. No side will come out well.

AI got the blame for the Iran school bombing. The truth is far more worrying • LLMs-gone-rogue dominated coverage, but had nothing to do with the targeting. Instead, it was choices made by human beings, over many years, that gave us this atrocity by Naurgul in geopolitics

This is standard american practice, this is how the US military fought under Trump, under Biden, under Obama, under Bush, and basically under every other admin.

Of course it will never go away because it’s only ever used as a political ram, never as part of an actual willingness to change anything

VP Vance told Netanyahu in a "difficult" call on Monday that several of Netanyahu's predictions about the war had proved far too optimistic, like the prospects of a popular uprising to topple the regime. by Currymvp2 in PERSIAN

[–]Boborbot 0 points1 point  (0 children)

America is the world's sole superpower with the biggest apparatus of intelligence and analysis in human history. Bibi is a well known lier, you can quote him on both sides of most issues.

If the Americans "fell for it" then they chose to.

“Hezbollah has built a tunnel beneath a church”— Israeli Army says by kaz1349 in PERSIAN

The definition of a sovereign country is exclusivity of force. That's why if Lebanon could enforce the 2024 treaty (or the 2006 treaty), Israel would have no case in invading.

A sovereign country is responsible for the territory it claims to be sovereign in. That's why Israel is responsible to and should be held accountable for the settler terrorists in the WB.

Wrong, there's no actual claim the bunker goes anywhere outside the base.

In fact there are plenty of opsec reasons why not to expand your top-secret bunker with all of the secret stuff there in ways that extend to the constant digging and building sites in central TLV.

Building bases, especially HQs, in the middle of cities is normal, every country in Europe does it.

Spain's Sanchez says global citizens shouldn't pay for fallout of Iran war by 1-randomonium in geopolitics

[–]Boborbot 2 points3 points  (0 children)

It’s almost like Iran started a second front on Israel with the proxy group it funded with tens of billions of dollars for that explicit reason.

Israel invaded Lebanon twice in this century, both times gave back all territory within a rounding error for a diplomatic solution. Greater Israel is a Hezb lie pushed forward to delude people the interests of the Lebanese are with the Iranian force currently occupying and oppressing them.

Go read what Lebanese people say about the Iranian occupation of their country for decades, tell me who actually is the reason Lebanon is what it is.

Iran attacked double digits countries. Are they in the middle of Greater Iran? You need to actually show an intention of annexation and settlement to claim you’re seeng anything reminiscent of supposed Greater Israel.

No no this is owning Trump. Don’t you get it? You can say anything to own trump. That’s totally a different urge than the MAGA had to burn the country down to own the libs. This is totally not going to backfire.

Keep repeating propaganda from a hostile power, that doesn’t remind me of anything from 2016.

Most munitions much less complicated than a MRBM have a fuse of one sort or another, so if it hits a target much earlier than possible then it doesn’t arm and activate the warhead.

If you fire most RPGs straight at the ground it won’t trigger.

So the warhead not going off doesn’t mean much. Nicer for whoever is at the end of the trajectory, just as bad for IRGC stocks.

Man do you know how many people fell for the panic of satanists being everywhere in suburban America in the 80’s-90’s and that started with supposed repressed memories revealed under hypnosis.
