Nobody wins in a nuclear war.

This would be the United Nations Convention on the Law of the Sea (UNCLOS). It’s interesting that the US is among the nations that have never ratified the treaty.

Also, Denmark has a long 500+ year history of charging ships to transit in and out of the Baltic Sea, so this really isn’t a new concept (Sound Tolls).

All foreign ships passing through the strait, whether en route to or from Denmark or not, had to stop in Helsingør and pay a toll to the Danish Crown. If a ship refused to stop, cannons in both Helsingør and Helsingborg could open fire and sink it.

Sorry, I guess I didn’t see your comment as a real argument; at least, not about Ryan Grim. You just mentioned a few other newsworthy people you don’t like (not that I agree with those individual assessments), whom Ryan had interactions with, and then tried to pin those individual’s attributes on him. Personally, I believe its good when journalists cover newsworthy people and events, especially when these topics are being intentionally ignored by mainstream media like the Mossad-Epstein connections in this OP.

Also, one of your criticisms was that he shared a post. I honestly had a real-world chuckle at that. Should we downvote or ban anyone on Lemmy for posting a Trump tweet, for platforming a fascist?

Overall, I’ve been very impressed with Ryan. He’s doing real on-the-ground journalism, such as his recent trip to Cuba to document the human-rights abuses resulting from the US blockade. Also, he’s covering a lot of Israeli atrocities that mainstream media won’t touch, and sharing Iranian perspectives during the illegal US-Iran war. I would be a lot less informed about geopolitical issues without Ryan’s journalism, and I’m thankful for his work.

No. Ryan Grim is doing some amazing work.

Israel has a long history of funding terrorism as well. In the 1950s, Zionists secretly performed terrorist attacks on Jewish synagogues and communities around the middle east. This was done in an effort to make them feel unsafe in Arab countries to promote migrations to the newly-formed country of Israel. Before this, Jewish people largely lived at peace alongside Muslims, as they were traditionally considered “People of the Book” due to their shared Abrahamic-religious background.

Furthermore, Netanyahu’s government has a history of funding Hamas to prevent the more moderate Palestinian Authority from representing Palestinians. Up until Oct. 7, Netanyahu was funneling 35 million dollars a month to Hamas through Qatar, with over 1 billion dollars transferred in total. He would do anything to prevent a two-state solution, and was also desperate for a distraction from his 10-year long corruption investigation.

This isn’t military attacking military. The US and Israel are bombing schools, universities, water desalination plants, power plants, police stations, and other civilian targets, along with those who attempt to negotiate. This is terrorism, and there is no justification for it.

Maybe it’s normal to arrest those involved in friendly-fire incidents on criminal charges, but this author doesn’t think so.

The military authorities in Kuwait have arrested the Kuwaiti Air Force Pilot, named the “Ghost of Kuwait” on charges of ‘criminal negligence’ here Tuesday

The charges and the arrest points at deliberate act on part of the KAF combat pilot.

The Epstein Memorial Ballroom is being built over an underground datacenter.

They don’t seem to be denying fragmentation/massive deformation. In fact, the crux of their comment relies on that fragmentation.

That massive deformation of the bullet comes from massive force, that didn’t happen to kirk’s neck.

The point is that, with the amount of force in applied to fragment this bullet, we do not see a similar amount of force applied to Charlie’s neck. There was no large exit wound, and the projectile did not appear to impact his spine.

Honestly, this comedian covers so many more obsurd issues with this case than I could think of. Shoutout to some other Lemmizen who introduced me to this video about a month back in another post.

I found it interesting that after Joe Kent resigned from being Director of the National Counterterrorism Center, he went on the record to say that the FBI prevented them from investigating any foreign links to the Kirk assassination.

Edit: also, if anyone hasn’t seen this comedy bit on the assassination, it’s worth a watch.

More likely Israel.

I don’t believe that’s accurate. The radar systems act as a mesh network, and if it’s patchy en route, it becomes harder to acquire a possible interception solution. This is especially the case when some of the longest range systems (such as THAAD) are out of commission. Then you need to rely on shorter range systems, such as Patriot missiles, with a shorter and lower intercept range. The article goes over this, and explains how the different systems act as multiple layers of air defense.

A loss of long-range radar and interception ability won’t look like a gaping hole with missiles flowing through. Instead, there will be more last-second attempts to shoot incoming missiles down, with a lower success rate than the long-range alternatives.

It says:

Iran wipes out US-Israeli radars & sensors, changing course of war

…and yes, Iran wiped out two $1-billion THAAD raday systems (we only managed to make 8 since 2008), and many more smaller radars. We also just lost an E-3 sentry (for the first time as a combat loss, and we only had 16).

There’s plenty of significant evidence to support the headline, and it’s reasonable to come to the conclusion that these radar losses are contributing to the decrease in missle interceptions.

We’ve known for almost a month that two THAAD radars have been hit and that another was being pulled out of South Korea to act as a replacement. There’s also been drone footage of Iranian drones hitting radar installations.

I don’t see anything in the quoted text that contradicts the headline. Radar installations have been damaged, and these gaps may be a contributing factor to the reduction in interceptions.

This article has satellite images with before/after sliders of the two THAAD strikes.

I believe the illegal settlements in the Palestinian West Bank, Gaza, and the Syrian Golan Heights would be evidence to the contrary. There’s also the whole Greater Israel vision that Bibi openly supports.

That doesn’t seem to be the message. Instead, it’s that the NYT (along with the rest of mainstream/establishment media) self-censures criticism of Israel, by using more neutral terms.

Yeah, this kind of moderation is not a good look. We can downvote Blue-Maga opinions on our own.

I just searched for some more info on this and was definitely surprised by the design. That’s pretty neat. 😆

Boats sounds neat.
