So, the #US #Israeli Holy Epstein War continues apace. Israel has demanded that 400,000 Lebanese flee their homes and head to #Tripoli, then they bombed Tripoli. So, that’s fun. #Israel has also bombed 13 hospitals and medical facilities in #Iran and #Lebanon, according to the #WHO, which just announced they have to cease operations because of the bombing.

Last summer, during the 12-day war, the U.S. expended roughly a quarter of its #THAAD missiles in defending Israel from the Iranian barrage. Each THAAD missile costs more than $12.8 million, and American defense contractors produce only 96 a year. Iran has been producing Shahed-136 suicide drones at a rate of about 5,000 to 6,000 a month, at a cost as low as $50,000 each. We launch 2-4 thaad for every drone.

We’re running out of ammo in four days. We started a war without bullets.

Stable geniuses, the #Epstein class.

Let’s talk about what it means that the #US has sent virtually all of its #THAAD interceptor missiles and #Patriot missiles to the Middle East.

Besides obvious short term issues, like once #Iran gets the US to use all its interceptors, then what? But the bigger issue is #China and #Russia and possibly North #Korea.

China wants #Taiwan. We need rare earth metals to make our sophisticated weapons. Guess who owns the territory where most rare earth stuff comes from? China. Guess who’s not fond of the US currently and has no reason to advance US weapons development?

China is preparing military to invade Taiwan. They have doubled inventory of ballistic-missile launchers and almost tripled the number of missiles available since 2020.

We have spent down our defenses to strike an unnecessary military target and leave our allies unprotected.

Insane or treason, take your pick.

Far-right #Israeli Finance Minister Bezalel #Smotrich has warned that all of the southern suburbs of #Beirut, #Lebanon, home to hundreds of thousands of the city’s poorest residents, will face devastation similar to #Gaza after the Israeli military issued forced displacement orders for the entire area.

“Very soon, Dahiyeh will resemble Khan Younis,” Smotrich said, referring to a southern Gaza city that has been heavily damaged during Israel’s genocidal war on the enclave.

The #zionists and the #ChristoFascists want #Armageddon. I told you, I’ve been telling you since the #Intifada, Gaza was a munitions and repression testing ground.

My biggest fear is that we are intentionally depleting our defensive weapons, so they can claim a nuclear strike is the only option. I do not say this lightly, but we are on the brink of destruction and if we don’t rein these rightwingers in, they will kill us all.

#Israel is using the #Epstein #HolyWar to invade #Lebanon.

#Israeli chief of staff Eyal #Zamir discussed Lebanon during his televised press conference, saying he had ordered troops to expand the area under Israeli control in the country’s south, as the country’s ongoing operation against Lebanese group #Hezbollah intensified.

“We are striking with force, on the front line and deeper in Lebanon. I instructed Israeli army forces to move forward and deepen the line of control along the border, while establishing positions at key points in southern Lebanon,” said Zamir.

This war is cover for Israeli expansion.

@MissConstrue I happen to have written a song called Nuclear Power Will Kill Us All, but I didn't think it would be partially intentional
