Danny is sharp as always. Even if he remains an incorrigible imperialist, I appreciate his clear-eyed analysis.
'One of the fundamental challenges in dealing with the Houthis is that whenever military pressure against them increases, they respond by escalating further rather than backing down.'
At least the British imperialists understood anthropology. They learned over time that agnatic descent groups, once they have been organized into a fighting resistance, simply cannot be subdued. They gave up entirely on trying to subdue them. Instead, they recruited them and bribed them to leave the Empire in peace. See my https://t.co/0RgkW67MBw
The Saudis, in their defense, did not see the diffusion of precision-strike any more than the Americans. Now they are learning a bitter lesson. The world of one-sided imperial violence is over.
This is now the cost of imposing your will on Yemen. Deal with it. If you do not like how this is going, you are not going to like what is coming. Houthi capabilities will increase over time. They are in a period of high intensity learning. As they get more skilled and sophisticated, they will become more resilient and their strike capabilities will become more survivable.
Sue for peace. Or be prepared to pay the new price.

What’s interesting about polls that show Israeli society is callously, overwhelmingly pro-genocide is that no US liberal zionist politician or pundit is EVER asked about this central fact. Ever. It’s just never talked about in US discourse because it’s grossly inconvenient.
Caroline Lucas has called for Green Party member Lubna Speitan—who has had 56 relatives killed in Gaza genocide—to be suspended
Speitan’s crime? Naming the ideology which killed her family
Lucas is getting loads of airtime because she is doing the establishment’s work for them. Extremely ugly spectacle
Asked about the US strike on a school in Minab, Iran that killed 123 children, Palantir CTO Shyam Sankar blames "human error" rather than Palantir's AI. He then complains that "Targeting is kind of this very salacious word."
BREAKING: A KC Star investigation couldn’t find a single other medical provider in Kansas who charged 18% interest on medical debt - even Marshall’s own lawyer admits Marshall personally set that rate and was probably the only one to do so in the state!
@NewDealHawk2 Funnily enough in his book he basically said the U.S. had to align with the entirety of the rest of Eurasia as much as possible to contain China; instead while in office a totally incoherent policy of fighting with everyone has been pursued

A hilltop settler admits they burn Palestinian homes and Yinon Magal abruptly ends the interview.
It began with Magal trying to link an attack to the young man’s outpost, only for him to clarify that it wasn’t as close as Magal suggested. But things got even more uncomfortable when he complained that hilltop youth are punished for burning Palestinian homes, comparing their treatment to that of anti-government protesters who burn cars.
When asked if burning a house was acceptable, he never answered. Magal quickly took back the microphone and ended the exchange.
Clear demonstration of how the demand that Palestinians “recognize Israel as a Jewish state” is not about making peace with it but about submitting to their betters:
China is not just building new power plants at breakneck pace but also grid infrastructure: ultra-high voltage lines, battery storage, pumped storage.
In May, China announced it would invest $700 billion in grid infrastructure through 2030.

WOW. At the start of the video, two guys wearing civilian clothes and no visible badges run up to a car with guns drawn. One man begins smashing the butt of his gun into the driver’s side window one second later, and the driver appears to panic and hit the gas.
Looks really bad.
Internal emails shows the Biden state department was referring to what happened to me as “kidnapping” by IDF - and even then they didn’t say a single thing publicly.
Deters: "I have paid you $300,000 over the years. ... I need results."
Guilfoyle: "Stop papering all these things. It’s really dangerous. Just call me on Signal. ... if you write an email or a text about, l’m gonna kill you cause I love you but you’re so out of control"
The ICE agent seen brandishing an AR-15 at the scene of yesterday’s shooting in NYC’s Marble Hill has an auspicious record of lying, excessive force & getting caught by judges. He also goes by “Shooter Cuni” on social media, & posts the exact same gun he had on him today
A smart person suggested to me the other day that one of the long term goals of tech capital is to destroy public services to create a funding and opportunity loop for their own private enterprise replacements and I just can't unsee it.
In Palestine, you’ll just be hanging with some guys and one of them will casually mention that hours earlier, his son was zip-tied, blindfolded, and beaten by soldiers right where you’re sitting, then abducted into jail unknown.
