The by-law technically isnt a prohibition on dem-cents but does mean you can be kicked at any time if you are. Weirdly phrased but its meant to prevent some dem cent org from hijacking the org.
But regardless. The author is mad that these so called vocal minorities picked an issue that was extremely popular with the new base.
It could trigger a global conflagration and explode the entire pro-American alliance structure that the United States has built in the region since Henry Kissinger engineered the end of the Yom Kippur War in 1973.
Camp David peace treaty, the Oslo peace accords, the Abraham Accords
Like Israel gives a shit about those.
the senior U.S. official told me, Israeli military leaders are actually more hawkish than the prime minister now. They are red with rage...
Yeah because they got humiliated on 10/7 by paragliders.
This article is basically pointing at the cliff the west hurtling towards and explaining why they can't stop.
It was an extremely "normie" friendly SciFi show that got a cult following because it ended too soon. It was in the vein of Lexx and Farscape but not a horny isekai.
Good lord that's one shiny new aircraft carrier. The biggest and newest in the world. Its got lasers and allegedly "anti-supersonic missile systems".
I think, ideally, you have a wide range of vessels...
Sounds expensive. Why not just make one ship that can fill all roles and keep manufacturing costs down? Like the F-35.
The thing is people dont know what style of surface fleet is going to be useful for actually securing the seas. We only know subs are still good as is. I suspect many very small, missile armed boats.
What like a cruise missile that spins out smaller missiles to intercept incoming missiles while the main warhead continues on target????
As neat as this sounds, its likely that surface fleets will be far less relevant in a modern symmetric war. Missiles will turn any large surface vessel into a coffin. Same with fighter jets. Any WWII style mass of heavy vehicles are now just missile targets. Except subs.
Missiles: cheap missiles, nuclear missiles, smart missiles, orbital missiles, anti-air missiles, anti-tank missiles, anti-missile missiles. And when you think about it, combat drones are like reusable missiles. Unless they're suicide drones, then they're piloted missiles.
Die young or live long enough to see yourself be called a boomer.
Watching aljezeera on IPTV stream. Current status, Hamas has released two american hostages as a sign of good faith for negotiations. US has not responded yet but has delayed normal updates so they're probably thinking about their response.
Oldest church in Palestine was bombed.
Another hospital has claimed they have been given an evacuation order from Israel. So look out for another hospital bombing.
Almost exclusively tech bro liberals. Skews more euro than american so the smugness is impenetrable.
Hold the fucking phone. Since fucking when was Sarah Silverman in the DSA?
