Vance 501

Don't worry, the Major Combat Operation isn't anything like the Special Military Operation. 4 weeks tops, in and out, lets go.

@FortySacks This guy shows up if you fall asleep on the Skytrain

Vancouverites, explain yourselves

@footballguy82 Do you wash other types of meat too? Beef , pork, etc.

Taking the chicken straight from the pack into the frying pan is nasty. I don't trust anyone who doesn't wash their chicken. I don't care how good the finished product looks.🤢

@cirnosad Note that us USS Ford caught fire and turned around, never passing the Bab al-Mandab

@cirnosad I was thinking they would only enter the war once an aircraft carrier tries to pass Yemen. It's the best chance they would get.

After those strikes on Iranian steel infrastructure and the nuclear infrastructure, I think Yemen may enter the war.

In most countries, someone wearing this enormous "nuclear suicide vest" would be instantly spotted. But in America, they are able to seamlessly blend in with the general population.

@JefferyPetts As a consequence, they believe these values are simply "good people" values, and so believe that all immigrants, 3rd worlders etc will quickly adopt them

@JefferyPetts The fish doesn't know what water is. Personally, it took me a long time to understand that liberal values are derived from Christianity rather than simply emerging from reason.

It will always be crazy for me to see liberals bash Christianity when Christianity was responsible for developing the very principles that they distort to maintain power. You'd think they'd idolize Faith in Jesus Christ, but nope

@bobatesomemayo It's irrelevant because china's not going away even if you "win". They have scientific and economic reasons for what they do so they will keep on trucking, effectively making them the eternal rival

To make spaceflight a nationalism thing *again* is the most idiotic thing possible. Apollo was killed because of this. We beat the Soviets. The American legislator then saw 0 reason to keep Apollo— we beat the Soviets, right? We gave up half a decade of progress for a flag.

@AridoAmSubstack I used to think golf courses and lawns were to blame, but I found 75% of your water is used for agriculture and I think most of that is for alfalfa.

You know what climate change doesn't cause? Avocado Farms, Almond Farms, Casino Fountains, Suburban Waterparks, AI Data Centers, Industrial Dairies with fans to keep cattle cool. Yet all waste absurd amounts of water that are used in the southwest. borderlore.org/its-gonna-be-o…

I believe in climate change and it's clear snowpack is low. But the issue with water isn't as much climate change and snowpack. Even in such environments, with the right methods; most can get by because they did historically. What's hurting these rivers is absurd abuse.

@RWApodcast At least the brown one has the discipline to stay in the bunker.

The two types of Iranian officials

@freetshirt_250 @TheReclamare There are at least 2 St. Michaels. Here's the BC one: thetyee.ca/News/2015/02/1…

St Michael's Indian Residential School

@Logo_Daedalus Frank Herbert predicted this.

The real NEETs are American soldiers getting paid scammer wages in a social democratic subsidized housing blocs where they mostly jack off & play video games in between bouts of pointlessly torturing each other. Truly the most bizarre thing about our society is that the Military is just America’s form of theocracy— reddit “big science” theocracy wherein UFO demons provide magick weapons to epic bacon thor punisher guys. It’s military base hooters as theocracy— a society of “rugged mystics” new age tattoos wife swapping homoeroticism & hoo rah. Everything about the military is so relentlessly gay in the literal & schoolyard bullying sense. Just look at the casualties in the Iran war; discord moderators & reddit power users. Furry technocracy. Pervert empire.

@catholiccom @fidesindefensio Maybe they are sympathetic to Islam because Muslims are the ones protecting the Christians of the holy land? x.com/TamaraINassar/…

TikToker asks "Which religion feels best to you?" HUNDREDS of commenters (including Christians!) say "Islam!" Do they...know what Islam teaches? 👇 @fidesindefensio

@OthmanMekhloufi We don't follow the "principles of liberal civilization" we follow the king's law and the Royal Proclamation of 1763.

Indigenous tribes are quasi-state entities that wield the power of government but with none of the accountability or legitimacy. Why would we want them to govern anything? The principles of liberal civilization demand that tribal “governments” be abolished. Indigenous tribes merit no sovereign governance for the same reason we don’t allow Apple or Amazon to buy city-sized land plots to unilaterally govern themselves. Indigenous communities are welcome to incorporate a Society or utilize contracts to exercise their freedom of association within their own neighborhoods, the same way Strata or HOAs do. The idea they should govern these as their own quasi-sovereign states within Canada, though, is insanity.

@antizionist1967 @cirnosad "lawful stupid

@cirnosad Why Iranians and Iraqis never learn. Iran on the path to negotiate again so with the same people bombing it and that stabbed it twice in the back.

US is planning a massive bombardment of Iraq after the Iraqi resistance accepted a multiple day ceasefire (always the trick the US uses) to "evacuate" the greenzone.

@DocGreenGeorgia @RealCalebMaupin @BrianJBerletic Are you sure those are loans and not gifts? I don't think Israel pays back any of it.

@RealCalebMaupin Um, no Caleb. I hate Ben Norton, but @BrianJBerletic says something similar and he's not a leftist. Since when does the borrower have more power than the lender? US pays for everything in Israel, it's a satellite of the empire.

The “Israel is just a scapegoat” line pushed by Ben Norton and others is crypto Zionism. If the KKK lynched a Black man they wouldn’t say “he’s just a scapegoat, racism is caused by capitalism” If a man raped a woman they wouldn’t say “He’s just a scapegoat, sexism is caused by capitalism” They jump at every opportunity to call Red State Americans, Christians, etc “racist” “fascist” etc. But for some reason, while Israel commits the most heinous crimes and pushes America into an unpopular war… “They know not what they do! Israel is just a tool of US imperialism!” Give me a break. This is pure racism & crypto Zionism. They think white American workers are evil, and gleefully celebrate their hardships, while making excuses & trying to ease the blame on Zionism. I’m sick of this. I dealt with this BS for years in @workersworld

@ChainNarratives @ripplebrain It triggered a panic among the whites who thought white rule would continue.

@vancouveroid @ripplebrain How though? Because people started to leave quicker through the attacked airport? Just curious

Already posted this in another thread but here's a very interesting Ynet article describing how Ben Gurion is still in a state of (severely disrupted) operation despite regular drone, rocket, and missile attacks on it from Iran and Hezbollah. Here are the changes they've made: - 80 aircraft were immediately evacuated from the airport at the start of hostilities - Ynet's tour began with an immediate descent into a shelter within the airport due to a real air alert, which happens multiple times a day - Specialized vehicles constantly clear the runways of debris - Check-in and screening for passengers has been moved to locations in close proximity to air raid shelters - Only one cafe and one duty shop is open, all other shops and restaurants in the airport are closed - Only one commercial concourse is open - Commercial aircraft only stay at Ben Gurion for the minimum window required to land, pick up passengers, and depart - Each time there's an air alert, any plane preparing for takeoff returns to the terminal so the passengers can run to a shelter. If there's not enough time, the passengers evacuate the plane through emergency exits and lie flat on the runway while covering their heads until the alert is over - Only 2,300 people (including staff) are allowed in the airport at any given time, so evacuating all of them to shelters is possible - Only 100 passengers are allowed on a plane - Only two flights are allowed per hour - ATC is fully integrated with the IAF to allow US and Israeli military planes to conduct operations, which take priority, - Planes regularly have to circle the airport or turn back entirely due to air alerts - No foreign airlines are operating out of the airport - New bomb shelters are being continuously added in the hopes of expanding capacity for passengers ynetnews.com/travel/article…

Hold the election, declare the Carneyreich, force through NEP2, and send any dissenters to the gulag.

@JimmyThomist Could they take Kharg exclusively with via air assault?

Opening the Straits of Hormuz (at least partially so warships can pass through) is an implied task for taking Kharg Island. After that’s completed they might take Kharg. You can tell who understands military planning based on whether they find this immediately obvious.
