What kind of headline is that?
Did he also deny beating his wife and kicking puppies?
Nowhere in the article does it say who is alleging the guy was a Hamas leader in Lebanon.

While that is the excuse he will use, the justification comes after, he’s going to slaughter thousands of civilians either way.
A settler-colony founded on ethnic cleansing claiming to be the victim, rich.
How else do you stop psychopaths who just leveled 6 apartment towers in the heart of Beirut if not with violence?
be critical of information coming in
The atomic unit of propaganda isn’t lies, it’s emphasis. Most propaganda doesn’t take the form of false information, but true facts spun in a certain way to build/reinforce a specific worldview in the viewer.
Tencent owns 11% of Reddit. Reddit is primarily a US propaganda operation.
Tiktok is wholly owned by a Chinese company, but unlike the rest of the world, the US version is hosted and managed entirely within the US, this (along with hiring a bunch of spooks and killing controversial things in the algo like BLM) was done in response to the Trump administration trying to come up with excuses to ban it.
I don’t see why China catching CIA agents would concern Americans. Most Americans are not CIA agents inside China.
Between 1970 and 1990, the USSR built, launched, and crewed 7 space stations. Without Moscow holding them back, over the last 34 years, Ukraine (and Russia for that matter) have put up a total of zero.
In 2020, 50%+ of Ukrainians 70+, that is, most Ukrainians old enough to remember the USSR as an adult, regretted the dissolution. In 2000, it was ~90%.
The USSR wasn’t a utopia by any means, but it was far better than what came after.
In what way is it disingenuous to frame Canada sending thousands of soldiers to a foreign nation to carry out a war as an invasion?
Canada did invade Afghanistan though?
The point was that it’s silly to try to divide up and assign individual responsibility for the achievements of the USSR 30-100+ years ago when those achievements were only possible because Ukraine and Russia were part of a greater whole.
If you’re talking about the whole “human wave” thing in WWII, the ex-Nazis made that up for their memoirs.
Ironically, there actual cases of human-wave like attacks in WWII, notably banzai charges by Japan and MacArthur’s Walking Fire.
A good number of people did until early 2022. It looked a lot better on paper.
Did it? I remember a ton of propaganda about Putin and Russia going back to the Obama era, but then they’d show off stuff the USSR had developed to fight a war in Germany/Ukraine against late 1900s American equipment and tactics.
Whereas China was showing off their modern fighters, tank and ship production, and an entire branch of the military dedicated to missiles, and greater numbers than any other military, all designed to fight their next war; defending against/driving the US out of it’s back yard.
it’s a pretty bold claim to say that EVERY nation with a military has tried to invade
It’s only the slightest exaggeration..
Between 1915 and 1920, they were invaded by: United Kingdom, France, US, Japan, Italy, Poland, Czechoslovakia, Greece, Serbia, Romania, China, Estonia, Latvia, Lithuania, The Ottoman Empire, and I’m sure I missed a few more.

All of those happened before the modern safeguards were adopted by the US.
Which modern safeguards are you talking about? There’s been ~32 official broken arrow incidents between 1950 and 1980, and multiple safeguards were tried during that period. Modern 2 point detonation safety goes back to the early 60s
We just don’t know for sure if the Soviet leftovers Russia has were upgraded to the same atandards.
We do know the soviets had their own share of accidents. I wasn’t able to find any info on soviet nuclear weapon design safety mechanisms, but I feel like we’d have seen at least one nuclear blast if they didn’t have them.
It’s copium to acknowledge that Ukraine and Russia were part of the same country 58 years ago, and that modern Russia and Ukraine are able to achieve far less than the USSR was? This is evidenced by both countries primarily fighting with 30+ year old weapons.
I guess basic historical literacy is tankie shit now.
Please don’t shoot yourself if 5-10 planes just happen to fly parallel
The USSR couldn’t have achieved a fraction of what it did without all its SSRs working together.
Hell it probably wouldn’t have survived getting invaded by every country with a military after WWI without both Russia and Ukraine.
Most nukes are designed such that they only create a nuclear blast when detonated electronically.
We’ve had nukes fall out of airplanes and explode, or nuclear-tipped missiles explode in the silo, without a nuclear blast.
Last I knew, Rojava was working the the Syrian government. They’re quite aware that if they had their own state, Turkey would invade and genocide them. Not that Turkey hasn’t been bombing them in Syrian territory anyway.
