They're going to try to push the whole population over into Egypt, squeeze them like toothpaste. Put that extra million Palestinians into the southern half of the strip with no food or water and force the Egyptians to deal with it. I think this is why US Diplomats are scrambling to talk Egypt into helping the Israelis. Big indication to me that the plan is full cleansing. I don't know if they actually want to keep Gaza or if they're just planning on pushing people out so they can get rid of Hamas, maybe they haven't even thought that far ahead. First they'll have to defeat Hamas in the rubble, which will not be an easy task. I think this will last longer than intended, and the scale of brutality and humanitarian crisis will overwhelm any publicity boost Israel received by playing victim. The strain on the diplomatic situation in the Middle East will be intense, and the longer the crisis lasts the higher the odds of weak links breaking and the situation spiraling out of control. If things don't break their way, a depleted IDF fighting in Gaza might have to face down multiple Arab armies. This is a huge historic gamble being made in a situation in which the resistance has taken the initiative. Does this happen if Netanyahu's government is stable? Will his government survive thousands of dead Israeli soldiers and a worsening international climate? When you think about how this is starting to play out Hamas's move makes more sense, even if it relies on developments outside of their own control.

Don't worry. The F-35 has a very short range. I'm not sure it could even make it to Cuba from SC.
I got shadowbanned from /r/worldnews. It's kind of crazy how right-wing that place is getting. I don't think it's the libs turning fash either. I just think anyone who isn't a bloodthirsty imperialist has at this point said something to contradict the propaganda and has been shadowbanned.
There's a conspiracy angle on the Malaysian Air 370 that it was the US stealing or eliminating a team of Chinese engineers involved in chip design. Flew it to Diego Garcia and then dumped the plane.
If it's true that they're still a bit behind the cutting edge in lithography technology, then China is going to blow past the rest of the world in advanced semiconductors in the next 2-3 years. Wringing that kind of performance out of less precise lithography techniques means their chips will be better than western chips once they achieve parity in lithography technology, which will probably happen in the next 2-3 years. Before the end of the decade China is going to be decisively more technologically advanced than the US. It's fucking over.
A heirarchical cult of gay nerds full of social incompetents with a shit-load of money. A completely amoral and shameless man could fuck his way right to the top.
So Israel will squeeze them into the southern part of the strip to starve and die of thirst while the Egyptians push them back on the other side. I don't think that situation can last and the Israelis will expect the Egyptians to back down and let refugees across the border. It puts the Egyptians in an impossible situation.
