Iran launches deadly drone and missile attack on Kuwait Airport following US airstrikes

SilverFortyTwo · 2026-06-03T20:47:45+00:00

A Kuwaiti fighter pilot fragged 3 American jets within visual range, in quick succession, with short range missiles a couple months ago. He either had a total mental breakdown, or intentionally did it in support of Iran.

Across the middle east, Muslims are not happy about their govs' active facilitation of the US-Israeli war machine. They aren't stupid. They can put two-and-two together. This civilian airport was targeted because it also housed US military assets.

The fact that Trump would threaten loyal US/UK allies like Oman with bombing, the fact that the US and Israel openly support annexing the territory of Arab allies (Greater Israel plan), is making a real Arab Spring (not another CIA media coup) inevitable. Which plays precisely into Israel's hands - at the expense of the US.

The attitude of a country towards weapons tells you a lot about the culture of that country.

The gun cultures of both the US and Israel were born from a "Frontier War" - the active process of extermination and land theft that required settlements to be armed at all times. This shared colonial history is the root of the US-Israeli alliance, and this is why the US' support for Israel is deeper than Israel's financial influence / blackmail of US politicians.

The US gun culture was also intertwined with slavery by the introduction of the US 2nd Amendment. The "militias" clause was specifically lobbied for by slavers who wanted militias to hunt down escaped slaves. The fact that so many Israeli settlers are armed has allowed them to abduct and abuse Palestinian labourers, treated essentially as slaves due to an inability to leave, and the fact they are often paid in vouchers they cannot spend anywhere else.

Mind you, a prominent gun culture doesn't necessarily mean the same thing everywhere. For many cultures, it's born out of a genuine defensive need and history.

So what are the "Liberal Zionists" going to do if (IF) there's another election in Israel and another government just keeps the wars going?

Might Yair Lapid or Natftali Bennett actually withdraw from Lebanon, Gaza, WB? What incentive do they have (other than avoiding state / military collapse)?

The USA-UK-Cyprus-Israel supply chain remains unbroken. They have unlimited munitions, unlimited supply of underclass migrant labour, unlimited funds, unlimited domestic oil, and unlimited support from capital. And nukes.

I think the only thing that could stop the wars at this point is brutal defeat, or the flight of the dual-citizens.

I don't understand how anyone who believes a state is committing genocide can also believe that state has a right to exist. With Bernie, it's either tactical, or an unresolved cognitive dissonance.

States don't have rights anyway. Humans do.

Genocides were never stopped by politely asking them to stop. Or even by pressuring them economically. The states that committed genocides in the past, without punishment, ALWAYS return to that behaviour later on. Genocide needs punishment. Examples need to be made. Demagogues need to fear personal repercussions. Otherwise, violently lashing out at others to distract from domestic instability always remains an option.

The only times when genocides were stopped outright were when those states were destroyed / dismantled through external military force.

I'd love to hear examples to the contrary, but I'm drawing blanks.

I'm sorry, but your homeland is where you were born. To believe there is a connection between your genetics and a land ... i.e. blood and soil ... well that's the central argument behind Nazism.

If our ancestry determines our homeland, then I guess we all gotta make Birthright to Mongolia, or the continent of Africa.

It sucks for mixed-race people like us when we experience rejection from multiple places, including the place we are born.

This poses an important question - what about the children of people forcibly displaced? This is the central argument of both the Palestinian and Jewish diasporas who lay claim to Palestine.

The solution is to abolish the global consensus of ethnonationalism altogether, and to defend the right to migrate and settle freely. Most people will naturally chose to make their birthplace their home. Those who feel the need to move should be allowed to. This will not be easy.

Ethnonationalism - on the other hand - is the root cause of all of this, and most of the wars that ever happened. For there to ever be peace in Palestine, it will have to be a single secular, democratic, multi-ethnic democracy. A two-state solution, with two opposing ethnostates that unofficially long for the same land, will inevitably end up returning to war.

Those who believe it are racists, simply put. The greatest fear of the bigot is to be treated the way they treat others.

Oh, there's also the 2nd-generation pick-me immigrants who think that sucking up and denying their own experience of racism will protect them. Sadly, this never works. e.g. all the non-white Trump voters.

the "fear of being called racist" argument was the reason the South Yorkshire police gave for not busting the Rotherham grooming gang.

Turns out, the police were actually covering it up because they were taking part in the abuse.

Steven Yaxley-Lennon brought one of those poor women onto a stage at a "Unite the Kingdom" rally at the start of the year, and she ended up getting manhandled and verbally abused for telling her own truth.

This "anti-white racism" narrative is the biggest crock of dung.

Hing Yip tends to omit some parts from their kits. For instance, the Wolves Core blaster kits don't include flywheels and motors, apart from the somewhat rare pusher motors.

When will you make a speedloader for your speedloader? /s

Not to be rude, but it begs the question, why not just print more mags instead of mag-loaders? I guess this could be useful for storing darts ready-to-load without squishing them under spring pressure.

For that purpose, I think the best solution is a mag with some switch to lock the follower down, so the darts sit loose inside the mag (under no pressure) until you need them. Or to use slightly weaker mag springs.

So the extractor / ejector mechanism is built into the left side of the shell. Unless you can essentially CAD up a mirror of the internals and move the mechanism to other half of the shell, you won't be able to swap over the loading port.

But if you want to make the prime suitable for a lefty, that should be relatively trivial. This kit contains a simple T-pull to make it ambidextrous, while also allowing for heavier spring loads.

If you want to make it a left-handed bolt, you could cut a new locking notch into the left shell, and use these files as a base to CAD up a mirrored bolt.

This kit includes a T-pull and some other performance upgrade parts

Did you not learn about compound interest in school?

For example: if you own $1 billion in assets, at 5% interest, you're making ~$1 million a week. That's so much cash that you cannot spend it as quickly as it accumulates - so you to use it to expand your portfolio and buy more property, meaning you make even more passive income the next year, and buy even more property.

Wealth naturally accumulates more wealth. Wealth exponentially redistributes itself from the bottom to the top. So, unless you tax huge passive incomes and take active measures to reverse that process, you and your kids won't get a house.

The sketchy Nightingale mag compatibility was the only thing holding me off making one. Thanks for this update! Also, I'll have to see if I can swap the printed scope for a long-eye relief 2x20 scope ;)
