@Esoteric_Though @PeterTwinklage No, because if by brutal you mean genocide, then you have betrayed Christian principles and have become evil and demonic. Jesus Christ would have never done anything he's done.

@Esoteric_Though @rcsongoku @reddit_lies Even if you're right, If crappy Iranian Air defenses can target and hit the F-35. Then unless Russian Air Defenses are worse than the Iranian ones, they also can target and hit the F-35

American war machines are so mystically powerful that when the sand people merely damage one aircraft it is heralded as their crowning achievement.
Gandalv@Microinteracti1

The F-35 was supposed to be unkillable. That was the whole point. Lockheed Martin spent thirty years and four hundred billion dollars, the most expensive weapons programme in human history, building an aircraft that the enemy simply could not see. Not on radar. Not on infrared. Not on anything. The F-35 was not just a fighter jet. It was a theological statement. America’s way of saying: we have moved beyond the reach of your missiles, your sensors, and your prayers. Iran apparently didn’t get the memo. Somewhere over Iranian airspace on March 19, 2026, an IRST system, infrared search and track, the kind of sensor your grandmother could probably explain, looked up, found the F-35, and locked on. Not because Iranian engineers are geniuses. Because the F-35, it turns out, is extremely hot. All that engine. All that thrust. All that carefully sculpted stealth geometry, and the bloody thing glows like a kettle. The heat signature data Iran now holds is not just embarrassing. It is a gift that keeps giving. To Moscow. To Beijing. To every procurement ministry on the planet that has been quietly wondering whether to spend the money on systems designed to kill this aircraft. The answer, as of this week, is yes. And here is the bit that should really worry the Pentagon. You can patch software. You can redesign coatings. You cannot reprogramme a pilot’s brain. Every F-35 driver who takes off from here on knows, actually knows, that someone down there might be able to see them. That changes everything about how they fly. Caution replaces aggression. Hesitation replaces instinct. Four hundred billion dollars. And in the end, it was done in by a heat sensor. Tremendous. Gandalv / @Microinteracti1

@MGMunner @PeterTwinklage Because that’s how the quote goes, and he’s obvious an avid reader of Durrant because he’s quoted him before. Durant himself was an atheist but loved Jesus and said he tried every day to live as Jesus said. He just had a hard time actually believing in god.

@Esoteric_Though @PeterTwinklage I understand all that, but does HE believe Genghis Khan triumphs over Jesus? If not then why even mention it?

JUST IN: HOUTHIS OFFICIALLY JOIN THE IRAN WAR He said they’ll target U.S. ships in the Red Sea: “This war is the war of the entire Ummah. The U.S alongside Israel, attack Iran, aiming to leave the region under Israeli control.”

You think he’s saying that because you don’t understand the context of what he’s quoting. Which to be fair politicians shouldn’t quote philosophers because they’re confusing. Durrants lessons in history teaches that men like genghis khan end up winning even though they are evil. Basically “evil triumphs when good men stand by and do nothing” is what Durant is saying, and he uses this poetic saying about the universe, Jesus Christ and Genghis Khan. Netenyahu even says “unfortunately” in his speech. Unfortunately it’s not good enough to just be on the right side, you have to also be stronger than your enemies and willing to beat them.

@Esoteric_Though @PeterTwinklage Then why is he insinuating that Genghis Khan has the upper hand on Jesus just because jesus is eternally good and Genghis is evil?

You know what, I give up, you’ve convinced me. The democratic constituency is too poor and or stupid to have copies of their birth certificate or IDs with their current legal name on it. They require government assistance in order to have adult records. Fellow conservatives- next time these children demand free IDs and birth certificates, just agree and say you’ll vote to approve it. They’re self deprecating enough by describing themselves this way, no need to rub it in any further or demand any adult behavior on their part.

Under the SAVE Act, you cannot use your driver's license to register to vote. Republicans want you to buy a passport instead. If you can afford one. This is a modern-day poll tax.

@AGHamilton29 A long time ago I saw Tucker Carlson say a couple smart things and thought he may end up being a compelling figure. Nope he’s just a brainless mouthpiece spewing the conspiracy slop that a particular demographic want to hear parroted.

Missed this… Tucker says “you saw the Israelis blow up Qatar’s natural gas fields today” It was an Islamic Republic missile attack. This is the 3rd or 4th time in a week where Tucker falsely blames Israel for an IRGC attack on a gulf state.

Yup, you know why? Because both Russia and Ukraine have a ton of really good air defense systems. Neither side can use air power and are stuck in trenches because the air defenses of both sides are too good and drone recon means that anyone who tries to advance gets clobbered by artillery and drones. That's why Russia is hitting Kiev with long-range missiles instead of carpet bombs, and why Ukraine isn't using F-16s to drop bombs on the Kremlin. Iran had the oppertunity to buy Russian AD but decided to build their own, and their own has sucked, but if their own sucky AD can score a hit on F-35, then a higher quality Russian one can as well

David Reaboi, Late Republic Nonsense
So last night I finally sat down and read the Protocols of the Elders of Zion. As you likely know, it is supposed to be meeting minutes of a secret cabal of evil, world-conquering and powerful Jews. But it is actually merely an infamous late 19th Century forgery created by the Tsarist authorities in Russia (and yes, they’ve been doing information warfare by villainizing Jews since back then). It’s been popular since then, and translated into every language. In the US, Henry Ford was obsessed with it, and suggested it to his employees. It’s long been one of the most popular books in Arabic, of course. In Germany, we know what they did with it. But reading through it last night, I was struck by two things, both related: (1) how much online discourse is merely just copypasta Protocols, down to memes like “Goyim are Cattle” and the limitless, cartoonish alleged bloodlust of Jews and Israelis. And (2) how obviously, ridiculously fake it is. Protocols is not even an IQ test—if you have any blood pumping to your brain, you should not be fooled by it. Even so, that millions of people have allowed their mental faculties to be put to one side like this is a vivid example of what a totalizing mind virus Jew-hatred is. *This is the cover of a 1934 American printing. And needless to say, “possession of these documents in Soviet Russia” was NOT punishable by “immediate death.” But these guys knew—long before the social media age—that you can just make shit up.

Here is a fictional story: The year is 2027. China has launched a war against the United States. In the first week, the president, his vice president, many members of Congress, all heads of the security agencies (CIA, FBI, NSA) and their teams, the national security cabinet, the Secretary of Defense, the National Security Advisor, and a number of senior White House officials were killed. The White House and the Pentagon were destroyed, and the CIA and FBI headquarters were rendered unusable. In addition, the United States’ air defense capabilities were completely destroyed, and Chinese aircraft are flying freely over Washington, D.C., New York, Los Angeles, and every other U.S. city, bombing targets without any resistance. In the second week, the destruction of the U.S. Navy and Air Force was completed. Many replacements for the officials eliminated in the first week were also killed in the second week. At this point, it is unclear who the President of the United States is. There are rumors that Barron Trump, Donald’s son, is the president, but it is not clear whether he is alive or able to function. Weapons production systems, factories, fuel infrastructure, manufacturing, and transportation are being gradually destroyed by the Chinese Air Force. The remaining U.S. military capability is now focused on launching missiles toward China, as well as toward Mexico and Canada. The U.S. has also managed to temporarily shut down the Panama Canal. The missile strikes on China are forcing civilians into shelters several times a day. Over the course of two weeks, about fifty Chinese civilians have been killed and property damage has occurred, compared to tens of thousands of Americans. In a Chinese television studio in Beijing, commentators are sitting and arguing that the war is futile and cannot be won this way: “It cannot be that Chinese citizens are going into shelters while the United States has still not surrendered. We eliminated Donald, and now Barron has appeared, and who knows who will come next. It is better to reach an agreement with the Americans, reopen the Panama Canal, and reduce losses.” “A fictional story,” they tell you. P.S. I saw this in a group, don’t know the author, but I liked it.

No it’s WORSE than that. The original post by disclose.tv had over a minute of context, shared with the misleading headline. People were TOO STUPID to listen and understand what he was saying and just believed disclose.tvs take. We live in a world where people can listen to a man say something nuanced, and an idiot can say “HE SAID JESUS SUCKS” and everyone just believes the idiot. It is blowing my mind how gullible people are.

People upset about Netanyahu quoting Will Durant is the reason why politicians should speak at a 5th grade reading level instead of quoting famous philosophers.

@AIKOISSEY @abbythelibb_ @koshercockney Because that’s not what he said. Go look up Lessons in History by will durant and read the quote about genghis khan and Jesus Christ. You may need cliffnotes to help. FWIW Durant said that was inspired by Jesus and aspired every day to live as a good Christian should.

It’s not even a dishonest clip job. The clip provides all the context you need to understand that Disclose is misleading people. People are just too stupid to understand what he’s saying. I guess this is why politicians should speak at a 5th grade level and not quote famous philosophers

@brianoflondon I’m terribly embarrassed by my fellow Christians and Americans for their inability to comprehend such an obvious statement. I’m floored at how stupid everyone is.
