Have a nice day and feel free to continue our conversation if you return. As you can tell I enjoy arguing. It’s a good brain teaser for us.

If you only care about the imperialists and their compradors when they’re fucking you over personally at home and not when they’re funding 6 different factions in Syria against Assad, you’re just shooting yourself in the foot, that’s very shortsighted. Syria’s Evil Regime has actually fought for Palestine and Lebanon, and Hezbollah has fought for Syria. We can talk about getting rid of the Baathists and the Houthis after the imperialists are gone.

Until then, this is idealism to me. Imperialism is not a tool to depose “dictators”, that leaves shattered states like Libya and Sudan.

If you simply enjoy talking to Syrian refugees to use them as ammunition online, well, of course you want to destroy the Syrian state. That will give you loads of new refugees to talk to!

This modern definition of authoritarianism is purely used as a tool by imperialists. All this talk of repression creating ISIS is a fig leaf over the necklace of ears collecting specops projects that trained and directed them.

One of my best online friends is Egyptian, by the way. He talks about Israel’s geopolitical role keeping Arab countries deindustrialized.

He talks about what worms many Egyptians are about Israel. He talks about those who aren’t often change their tune after being tortured. I talk to him almost every day. So don’t feel written off because you’re Egyptian. Just because they’ve really done a number on Egypt. Samir Amin talks a lot about how its emergence was stymied by imperialists. You live in a comprador state half beaten to death, and you gloat over how many refugees there are from Syria, a country illegally occupied by US coalition. Pig. Pig!

Egypt would have been my choice if I only got one guess. You really don’t know why?

Whoa whoa whoa slow your roll Bad Guy aren’t you idly sitting through Holocaust 2 while they actively dismantle the power structure of the same people who oppress you at home? Where is the gratitude?

Your slop will continue to flow and your snout WILL descend!

Iran and Russia have never done anything like what Israel is doing, this ridiculous comparison mainly exists in the minds of Western commentators who earn their keep by agreeing with Washington. Not to mention they are nations with thousands of years of history and will not be going anywhere when Uncle Sam’s money dries up.

This entire project you picked up of comparing Israel to Russia has done nothing to help Ukrainians or Palestinians. It has simply muddied the waters further. No, Israel was not “provoked”, Palestine was provoked. And yes, Russia and Iran were provoked by the same US alliance.

What about India, where Hindutva has been ethnically cleansing Muslims this entire time? No it’s just parroting the rogues gallery of Washington. There is no detail, only your useless addition to the WAPO oped comments section.

You have nothing of value to contribute to the discussion other than saying “gee I wish that I was still on Reddit where I wouldn’t see Iranian or Russian news”. Even by the rules of “Reddit style” imageboards like this you should be ashamed of begging me to pretend I’m on reddit.

Guess what buddy I already knew you would grumble seeing my posts and I don’t care what you think because there are millions of utterly worthless replacements for you.

You are on a link aggregator website begging for more of the same Associated Press/AFP news sources, opeds from Zionist newspapers like The Atlantic and The New York Times. Even on its face, you’re a very bland and uninteresting person with no thoughts which aren’t interchangeable with every other mopey tech worker on reddit. But demanding more government censored sources on a free platform is downright insidious and you should be ashamed of yourself.

“you’re not catching irony” is not a normal US speech pattern. Are you perhaps an agent of the Saudi government? They are quite influential.

Zionism is terrorism, you are just too cowardly to openly state your belief in terrorism. You wish for a kindlier, gentler terrorism.

Standpoint epistemology is not an argument, babe.

Out of curiosity, Turkey, Jordan, Egypt? Saudi Arabia, even? Do go on.

Fighting decolonial movements with terrorism has never worked.

Using the media to label the Houthis terrorists is simply a justification to murder Yemeni people en masse.

You’re a loser and you could learn a lot from the people of Yemen.

I post actual information, all you can do is squeal for more slop in your trough like a good little hog. You are nothing like me. 🤠

Using “hearts and minds” here is just too good. You do realize my OP post demonstrates the actual hearts and minds strategy of the US military? Terrorism combined with corrupt anthropology. Look up what happened to the “Human Terrain Project” researchers - I hope it happens to you!

Redditors just pathologically spout idioms even when it just deepens their appearance of idiocy.

I’m not here to cater to your editorial tastes or tut tut about online etiquette. You’re wasting your time just like you always do online.

I don’t really feel like enaging newsbot9000 over here in the entire checkered record of the YPG, but it actually extends far beyond allying with US war criminals and utilizing their assets, triangulating with Zionists, and letting the US (illegally) harvest Syrian oil. That’s just the cliff notes. But it’s a lot closer to reality than your synopsis

It’s 2024 and you’re cheering on US backed “moderate rebels” which are as much of a plague on the Syrian population as Turkey and ISIS. Grow up. The OPCW melted down over the inability to prove that Assad gassed his own civilians just because he hates them so much (a likely story). The symptoms in the footage don’t even match sarin, the mouth foaming is more characteristic of chlorine. The smear mirrors numerous other US attempts to fabricate cassus belli against a peripheral country in West Asia or Africa.

Your sweet little based Kurdish militias’ permission won’t factor into the removal of US bases from that territory. That is currently being conducted by the Axis of Resistance.

To return to the remarkably simply question which preceded your gibbering recitation of the Washington-approved narrative, I define illegal as in flagrant violation of international law, not what is legal in the minds of Redditors who like to fantasize about going and LARPing as a war criminal before getting interviewed by Rolling Stone.

They target a lot of radar and air defense installations and the like, but they will absolutely choose to go in for an IDF soldier with a drone (where a lot of the undeniable casualties come from). In one of the recent reports on IDF operations, they claimed one dead when it seemed pretty implausible, I always take the denials with an offset and a multiplier. The targets are the military assets. When Israel claims that F-35s being destroyed didn’t matter because nobody died in them they are deliberately ignoring this.

Great timing for me

If you want the posts to fit an editorial framework you agree with, I would be more than happy to direct you to an RSS feed application so that you can subscribe to what you like without being burdened with my posts. Just let me know what your platform is. I know Reddit has severely damaged your mind and I’m glad to help.

You did know you can go find the news yourself instead of critiquing other people’s posting like a Piss Sommelier?

The US intelligence racket is already as fully involved with Mexico as it possibly can be under the present resource strain.
