We have trackable proof of market shifts, I’m not sure what you mean here. The RF’s economic conditions aren’t wonderland, but the war-time economy and increased focus on domestic production means the sanctions backfired a bit, and pushed Russia towards China instead. This is reflected in the market shift.

Or, you can block Lemmy.ml from your side using your blocklist, the majority of dbzer0 users seem to be okay with Lemmy.ml and thus want to stay federated. Lemmy.ml has no reason to defed either.

What kind of instance do you want, exactly?

It’s simple, the US Empire is causing this issue. They perpetually fund Israel as a genocidal settler-colony that projects power in the Middle East so the Petro-Dollar is secure. When the world trades in dollars, the US Empire profits massively.

Oops, all platitudes!

No, it just tends to have a pro-western bias.

The bright side is that Israel is on track to lose, regardless of US intent.

Are you saying NATO is for or against World Peace? The Global North loves NATO for solidifying Imperialist power, the Global South hates NATO because the Global South is the target of said Imperialism, and NATO solidifies that system of global exploitation.

The American bourgeoisie loves NATO, which is why this will likely never happen.

The dissolution of NATO would be fantastic for the Global South to no longer have a military alliance of Imperialists lording over the world, but I doubt Trump would actually follow through with that. This is a nothingburger, the collapse of NATO will not come from twitter drama.

Communists must be punished for overthrowing the fascist slaver regime that brought immense profits to the Imperialists, of course!

Captain AnCap continues to be a clown.

Usually how this goes.

Citing Times of Israel? Really? Lmao

He was in full combat regalia.

No, I am saying this isn’t going to control the narrative.

They will remain fighting for their homeland, they aren’t going to stop striking Israel.

Don’t see how it changes the conditions on the ground in Palestine, however.

Israel made a mistake releasing the footage. This entire time they have been claiming he was a coward hiding in a bunker, while he is on camera staring down the drone coming to confirm his death, wearing full battle regalia, defiantly throwing scrap metal at the drone while missing a hand. Regardless of your opinion of Sinwar, this is an objective optical failure that will play against Israel.

Israel thinks on video game logic, if you beat the big bad boss everyone gives up, but that’s not what has happened. Sinwar is now more popular in death than he was in life among Palestinians, who actually believed him to be hiding, and not fighting on the frontlines as a 61 year old man.

Anyone who thinks this is the start of a ceasefire has seriously misjudged the material conditions of Palestine.

Idiots think war is just like a Nintendo game where you kill the enemy leader and everyone gives up, lmao. No wonder Israel can’t seem to have any success in Lebanon.

I wasn’t making a moral judgement of Sinwar, but contextualizing the Palestinian view of him. Palestinians sided with Hamas and Sinwar because of Israel’s genocide against Palestine, Sinwar wasn’t some great and powerful manipulator able to trick an entire population. Again, I am not making a moral justification for Sinwar, I am explaining why this isn’t leading to a ceasefire.

Secondly, are you denying that Israel is committing genocide?

Third, Sinwar absolutely has positive views among Palestinians. The majority of Palestinians support fighting Israel, and the footage of him perishing on the front lines, in full combat garb, defiantly throwing scrap metal at the drone confirming his soon to be death, has fully disproven the idea that he was a coward hiding in a bunker this whole time. He is more popular now than ever before.

I don’t believe the IDF will win, actually. The entire strategy of the Resistance is more to bleed Israel to death with a thousand cuts than it is to storm Israel and take Tel Aviv. They want Israel to be unable to defend itself and have everyone leave Palestinian land, and to do so they make it incredibly expensive, rockets that cost thousands against defense rockets that cost tens of millions. That’s how asymetric warfare works. That’s why they use tunnels, so Israel’s bombs struggle to reach them and can’t invade properly.
