Rules:

Similarly, if you see posts along these lines, do not engage. Report them, block them, and live a happier life than they do. We see too many slapfights that boil down to "Mom! He's bugging me!" and "I'm not touching you!" Going forward, slapfights will result in removed comments and temp bans to cool off.

We ask that the users report any comment or post that violate the rules, to use critical thinking when reading, posting or commenting. Users that post off-topic spam, advocate violence, have multiple comments or posts removed, weaponize reports or violate the code of conduct will be banned.

All posts and comments will be reviewed on a case-by-case basis. This means that some content that violates the rules may be allowed, while other content that does not violate the rules may be removed. The moderators retain the right to remove any content and ban users.

“It’s a good organization, it’s well-meaning, but it's not well-equipped,” Barrack told The National in an interview. “Because who are they going to fight? We’re gonna arm them so they can fight Israel? I don’t think so. So, you’re arming them so they can fight their own people. Hezbollah.”

What this really means is that the next Israeli genocide will be against the people of south Lebanon, and the Trump junta will support it.

The Israelis are still pissed off that, when Ariel Sharon sent the IDF into south Lebanoon, they got their asses handed to them and were forced to withdraw, because Hizbollah had massive popular support. Since then, Natanyahu has had Nasrallah murdered, but Hizbollah is still there and still supported by its community.

So refreshing to hear the American regime being honest, that vassal state militaries are only allowed to fight America's enemies or oppress their own populations.
