  • honestly I think the world was just a very different place back when they had their most successful operations. The US had a massive technological advantage over the often very unstable former colonies and war-torn countries rebuilding after the war, borders were looser, electronic surveillance not really an option for many third-world countries. Like, back then, a CIA hit squad could just bring a bunch of guns on a commercial flight, sexually harass the stewardesses, get drunk and pop a few quaaludes, assassinate an African head of state and be back on base by lunch. Can’t do that anymore, because of woke. trump-kaneki

    anyway







  • A problem that remains unsolvable because of everyone’s refusal to abandon their own ideological biases. very-intelligent

    If only people could become less polarized they would be perfect little centrists like me, not a single ideology rattling around my skull. No biases here, no siree.

    So the region just devolves into two groups slaughtering each other

    It’s just tribalism and religion, no need to look at who colonized who, land ownership is just vibes after all (except when it’s ordained by God or the British), a six year old Gazan kid who gets pasted onto a wall by a 500 pound bomb is just as bad as the guy dropping said bomb howdy-skull


  • It also had a very clear objective that was limited in scope (capture PoW and hostages to trade for Palestinians currently held in rape/torture-camps where they get surgery without anesthetics and often aren’t even charged with anything) so not a futile attempt at vengeance or terrorism, but a guerilla/military action against an armed occupying force aimed in the service of liberation. Fully justified under international law

    compare that to the IDF’s response which is collective punishment, genocidal actions, carpet-bombing entire neighborhoods, killing hostages, torturing doctors, murdering aid-workers and journalists and ramping up general settler violence in the West Bank and other places.

    It’s abundantly clear who the worst actor is here.
