Does anyone have that quote where Hitler thought no one would retaliate?
This seems to be a repeating pattern in right wing thought: they do a lot of paranoia that the browns are going to get revenge on white people, but every time chuds do shit and their victims retaliate they’re shocked.
Down with cis was literally meme’d because transphobes panicked that some trans people wanted to return their bullshit to sender. Like the most horrific thing you can do to a fascist is hold up the mirror.

This one?
"The Nazis entered this war under the rather childish delusion that they were going to bomb everybody else and nobody was going to bomb them. At Rotterdam, London, Warsaw, and half a hundred other places, they put that rather naive theory into operation.
They sowed the wind and now they are going to reap the whirlwind. "
--Sir Arthur "Bomber" Harris
Air Marshal and Commander in Chief for the RAF
Yes that one, it explains so much about reactionary psychology.
Down with cis was literally meme’d because transphobes panicked that some trans people wanted to return their bullshit to sender.
Might have some parallel to that German noble who tried that recent coup, and the QAnon/Jan 6 silliness? So much masturbatory daydreaming over the inevitability of some amorphous Cause claiming the throne of heaven that there's no brainspace left to seriously consider that there might be suffering involved for their actual person.
It might be considered "good" for getting your stormtroopers to charge across open ground (if only once per stormtrooper), but possibly not the best for resilient leadership.
Maybe opening war on ALL the fronts at once was not the brightest strategic move. Hoping it was a fatal error.
War is supposed to be the "last argument of kings" and something you pursue when all other avenues have been exhausted.
Pretty sure it's not supposed to be the thing you jump to immediately and in all directions at once. Like if fucking Napoleon couldn't do it what chance does Israel have? He was fucking Napoleon! And he still failed!
Zionist exceptionalism puts U.S, exceptionalism to shame. They sincerely believe the entire world belongs to them and they are not far off, most of the governments already do belong to them.
I thought they were one of the greatest military forces on earth, why would they be apprehensive about fighting an adversary that has more in their arsenal than AKs without dust covers?
I should get a Kalashnikov
Holy shit. It's impressive how much damage Iran can do just standing there... menacingly. Missles notwithstanding.
I'm very skeptical that no one died, but I will support Israel in claiming that no one died and that nothing was damaged because that is for once keeping the door open for deescalation (through actual deescalation this time). I don't think Israel will actually take the path of deescalation, but until they actually respond I will happily let them claim that "Bro, it didn't even hurt man!" and that no one was hurt and nothing was damaged. I don't think that there are massive casualties or anything, because these are all military targets that were deliberately struck at night to minimize deaths, but I have seen the footage and those did not look to me like "No one was hurt" explosions.
God willing, they may have done some really serious damage to Israel's air force.
"A soldier was killed" is it really only one death in Lebanon so far?
They've admitted to at least 8 deaths, they have lost at least 5 tanks (lmao tropey system is literally useless) and there seem to be reports as high as 80 killed or wounded.
Edit:
Israeli Channel 13: Israeli Army directs its forces operating in South Lebanon to avoid kidnapping by Hezbollah's Radwan Forces.
"Hey everybody. Just a quick clarification about army policy: do NOT get caught."
"OK, thanks for that. Important safety tip."
Lmao at the edit, what fantastic strategic planning. How didn't I think of that? "Don't get caught"
Nine confirmed so far by Israel. Other sources are reporting double digits, no way to know exactly
One yesterday, another seven today

During the ambush, Hezbollah reportedly attacked the IDF soldiers with anti-tank missiles and forces on the ground.
The IDF announced the names of an additional seven soldiers who fell in battle in southern Lebanon Wednesday afternoon, as well as those who were wounded in the operations.

I sense a new wave of promotions.

Contradictory feelings are when you are happy when you get to murder other people but sad when your people get murdered

Meanwhile the resident bedbug of the NYT is openly calling for escalation against Iran. If he wants it so badly, he should enlist and be sent to the front.
