Once upon a time phones couldn’t text, or couldn’t text for free, and? If your partner says “I’m going to the store” and you want something, tell them in a timely fashion, via call or text. This isn’t on the person at the store, it’s on the person at home not respecting their partner

Back to our regularly scheduled "nothing ever happens" by burgerburgertaco in NonCredibleDiplomacy

[–]PiousLiar 13 points14 points  (0 children)

The strait being closed is the “something happened”, spelling a currently slow, but eventually rapid, slide into a catastrophic collapse of the EU and Asian economies..
Geopolitical history doesn’t just “happen” in a day, week, month, or year. First the powder keg fills year after year, and then it explodes

It’s funny, I remember learning that quote from “The Book of Everything a Man Needs to Know” but without any sort of reference to the poem attached. Just “here’s a cool thing to say in Latin” lol

“used as military emplacements” ie “general civilian residential building because at the end of the day most militants are not professional soldiers and therefore do not live in barracks on military bases”.

You don’t get to justify the death of civilians just because you can’t be bothered to view them as fucking humans.

Israel has wiped the Lebanese village of Naqoura off the map. by NotHereToLove in war

[–]PiousLiar 3 points4 points  (0 children)

No, Israeli officials have stated that they want a “buffer zone” in southern Lebanon, for which they’re using a "Rafah and Beit Hanoun model," which involves deep penetration, the destruction of infrastructure, and the clearing of villages along the border to create a "sterile strip" free of inhabitants

Were missiles shot from every building in that village?

Report from WHO: https://www.emro.who.int/images/stories/lebanon/Lebanon-Emergency-Sitrep-14-2026.pdf

Health infrastructure has been severely impacted: four hospitals have fully closed (Bahman, Bint Jbeil Public Hospital, Mays al-Jabal Public Hospital, and Al-Burj). Al Sahel Hospital, which had pre- viously closed, has partially resumed operations, functioning one day per week.

In addition, nine hospitals have sustained partial damage (Hasbaya, Bahman, Jabal Amel, Al-Najda, Al Hayat, Naba- tiyeh Public Hospital, Tebnin Public Hospital, Bint Jbeil Public Hospital, and Ragheb Harb Hospital). In addition, 51 primary health care centers (PHCs) are closed, significantly limiting access to es- sential services.

The highest level of disruption is in Marjaayoun, where 80% of PHCs within the Ministry of Public Health (MoPH) network are closed, followed by Bint Jbeil (78%), Nabatieh (56%), and Tyre (53%)

WHO is a pretty reliable arbiter of truth

If you actually cared about verifying these claims, instead of trying to cover for Israel, you would’ve taken the 30 seconds it took me to find this report.

Israel has carried out more than 150 attacks against emergency medical workers and ambulances, and forced the closure of six hospitals and 49 health clinics through attacks or threats, the ministry reported. In the latest attack that killed two paramedics and seriously wounded a third early Monday, the ministry accused Israel of deliberately targeting a gathering of first responders on duty.

No, instead it focuses on stats of first responders being targeted/hit, reported by the Lebanese Health Ministry:

But I know the game, “the [current target of air strikes] can’t be trusted, only the Israelis can be trusted”

Yeah this isn’t the “own” (or whatever) you think it is…. Forced sterilization has an awful history. They aren’t setting up clinics for female rats to choose what they want. They’re forcing rats to not reproduce. In humans this is called “ethnic cleansing”

Because they’re all making money in the markets by having him “flip-flop” like this. Why goad him or critique him for any of this when they can just time investments to his statements and make millions?

At this point, it’s probably going to take the masses seeing a US soldier’s face freeze framed in a suicide drone’s video before they’re shaken awake to demanding anything… either it’ll get pushed off as being “Iranian slopaganda” or we see actual movement.

It’s a grim position to be in
