    Man. This is awful.

    Don’t forget about ukraine, though. Russians are literally stealing kids, and have legit torture chambers for civilians.

    Dons tinfoil hat The whole Hamas attack makes me think that it is a ploy to take focus off the Ukrainian war, given the backing by Iran, a close ally of Russia. It also serves mutlipe objectives of the perpetrating countries

      Dons tinfoil hat

      Along as we have that on…

      … I’ve been reading all about all this detailed intelligence that Hamas had on the inner workings of the Israeli military around Gaza. Like, they knew exactly which unmarked installations were military. And they knew that if they took out the cell towers, it would cripple their communication at the border…

      … which is the kind of key operational information that Israel would only share with its very close, key allies…

      … the closest and key-est of which was run by someone who is under indictment for mishandling classified intel, and quite possibly selling some of it…

      There’s no way Donald Trump willingly sold Israel’s secrets to Hamas – I don’t think he’s even that dumb – but it is plausible that he sold them to the Russians, and then they mysteriously “leaked” to Hamas, somehow. Or maybe he sold them to the Saudis, who don’t really like Hamas but maybe there is a Hamas sympathizer there who took the documents.

      And an even worse thought is that he didn’t sell them at all, but willingly gave them to Putin out of friendship, or showed them to some random at Mar-A-Lago who happened to be a Hamas spy with cameras in his eyeglasses.

      It reads like bad fan fiction, but so much of modern US politics does these days.

        still in tinfoil hat mode…

        but it is plausible that he sold them to the Russians

        More that he bragged about the info to somebody in Russia who was helping him out with his campaign, and that somebody went to Putin saying “you’ll never believe what that idiot showed me.” And then Russia thought “hey, that’ll distract from all the other shit we do!” Ukraine included, but that’s really not the end of it.

        For what it’s worth, they’ve been planning the attack for a long time. And Iran was also a big supporter.

      It has been suggested that Trump showed off Iron Dome info to Russian nationals. Not much evidence of that, but it would explain a lot.
