Tuesday is a relatively rare day for me to post a meme stack. I think this has to do with my Catholic upbringing where all of us poor public school children whose parents were of that disposition were forced to attend CCD classes after school every Tuesday. Being a child of course this automatically made Tuesday the least fun day of the week for me, what with the extra religious school after school and all.
That said I’ve been trying to triangulate a lot of war analysis by looking at both sides. I assume that the first casualty in war is truth and it has been, of course. That said my feeling is that the US and Israel is losing badly on every front.
I pray for peace and the closest I could come to supporting one side over the other is in a situation where I think a decisive victory might actually end all of the pointless killing. I’m not rooting for nuclear annihilation here for anyone. Since the US Empire seems hellbent on killing indefinitely to keep defense contractors share prices high I’d like to see this end sooner rather than later.
Something odd is going on in Haifa. At first I read about this container ship supposedly hit by a Hezbollah missile. I had a few confirmations that there had been a fire which was under investigation on a Turkish vessel. I read an Israeli report about this where you could clearly hear the sirens going off in the video. The author inadvertantly mentioned 100,000 displaced settlers in the North?
The doctrine of full spectrum domination is a very tenuous one, least of all if Israel loses its standing as the most moral army. Of course they are surrounded by primarily Muslim majority nations. If Hezbollah has really been poking holes in the Iron Dome it will become evident quickly. Apartheid might be forced to a tactical retreat.
Of course there was the rescuing of four hostages, but the 274 killed as collateral damage is causing some blowback. There’s also this:
I don’t know if this number is accurate but it sounds highly plausible to me. Hamas is claiming three Israeli hostages were killed in the fighting that rescued four. I don’t think it happens like it does in the movies where everyone automatically knows who the good guys and who the bad guys are. I’d say the negotiating table is a better place at this point. Then again it always was.

It’s not like they’re trying to cause chaos or anything
I am suspiscious of Trump getting propped up but what choice do we have? I suspect the real decisions are well out of our control.
My war analysis is that it is time to give peace a chance. It seems the western side is outmaneuvered, outgunned, out manned and outarmed. Of course if the war machine stops the economy might go with it. This debt can only expand even if realistically deflationary conditions.
We’re somewhere in this picture anyways. Still alive and well. I pray that is the same for all of you…
That ass was really cute.
Nice photo of you and Ka!
