That said Ive been bouncing off tankies recently.

Today a tankie decided our book was fake because of a mistake in my bluesky bio link, because he has all the smarts of a tankie, which does mean an inflated sense of his own intelligence combined with arrogance. Then again I’m also an idiot because I did add a comma to a hyperlink, because I’m practically a boomer and I guzzle the blood the oppressed legions of the poor, as they scream whatabout.

Order your copy of our book!

Russians aren’t stupid

That was about this article: The ​Ukrainian Air Force Discovers Advanced russian Drone with 4G Modem and Kyivstar SIM Card

And here’s a video:

Your average Russia is a lot smarter than your average tankie.

River to sea

I’ve stated that ‘from river to sea’ is an unacceptable genocidal phrase.

I’ve even engaged with idiots who say its not in the Hamas Charter.

It is.

Palestine, which extends from the River Jordan in the east to the Mediterranean in the west and from Ras al-Naqurah in the north to Umm al-Rashrash in the south, is an integral territorial unit. It is the land and the home of the Palestinian people. The expulsion and banishment of the Palestinian people from their land and the establishment of the Zionist entity therein do not annul the right of the Palestinian people to their entire land and do not entrench any rights therein for the usurping Zionist entity.

…

Palestine is an Arab Islamic land.

…

Hamas believes that no part of the land of Palestine shall be compromised or conceded, irrespective of the causes, the circumstances and the pressures and no matter how long the occupation lasts. Hamas rejects any alternative to the full and complete liberation of Palestine, from the river to the sea.

…

A real state of Palestine is a state that has been liberated. There is no alternative to a fully sovereign Palestinian State on the entire national Palestinian soil, with Jerusalem as its capital.

Here’s the 1988 charter as well:

The Islamic Resistance Movement believes that the land of Palestine is an Islamic Waqf consecrated for future Moslem generations until Judgement Day. It, or any part of it, should not be squandered: it, or any part of it, should not be given up. Neither a single Arab country nor all Arab countries, neither any king or president, nor all the kings and presidents, neither any organization nor all of them, be they Palestinian or Arab, possess the right to do that. Palestine is an Islamic Waqf land consecrated for Moslem generations until Judgement Day. This being so, who could claim to have the right to represent Moslem generations till Judgement Day?

That said, here is an interview with somebody who knows a lot more on the subject.

Oh and don’t think my pointing out that the phrase is deeply disturbing, whoever says it, doesn’t mean I think its okay to bomb hospitals or use indiscriminate military force (and I have words for Dr Beorn’s words on ‘proportionality’). I have criticised Netanyahu thoroughly.

Fallout approves of this game

At least for now I can approve of the history and politics and bayoneting Bolsheviks. And if that offends you:

Even though choo choos are meh.

That said Phil’s views on politics are closer to Trotsky than we could like to admit but:

(Comrades, I rode the red train of socialism to the independence stop but I got off there. You can ride on to the end station, if you can, but call me Sir from hereon).

Not a good book series

I like sci-fi and I like some of Hamilton’s books but this series is just terrible. And it has a deus ex because all his books have them.
