    All the U.S allies in the region sure noticed that American military commanders have been choosing not to intercept some missiles.

    At this point a list of snot-nose-playground-bully expressions for when things don’t go to plan might be merited. So far I can think of: -I don’t care about that anyway -I never said I wanted that -That’s against the rules -Just wait until my dad gets here (they’re resupplying from europe and beyond) -I’m gonna kill you for that (nihil repetitur) -Slurs

    Can anyone add to that?

      I don’t know how you formulate it, but pretending to have won a fight that you lost definitely fits this mold. Oh, I actually do know one part of it: You’re lucky that I was holding back, I totally could clobber you if I wanted to (the Israel classic)

    The Pentagon issues a press release “Our proud war fighters are letting some Iranian projectiles through our impenetrable defenses…”

    Within seconds the fastest Pentagon press core reporter is furiously rewriting the release to be an article. As more seconds pass - more reporters enter the brainless contest to be be first to publish.

    A new way of explaining why the interceptors don’t work I guess. no need to fire them if it doesn’t do anything anyway.

      Isn’t it just that interceptors use a fuckton of munitions to achieve the intercept. They weren’t prepared for this kind of sustained attack and are running low on ammo.

        Depends what they are intercepting. The new stuff Iran has is simply outmaneuvering the interceptors.

        It actually is smart to not intercept those missiles and keep your missiles around for stuff that is slow enough to get caught.

Welcome to c/news! We aim to foster a book-club type environment for discussion and critical analysis of the news. Our policy objectives are:

  • To learn about and discuss meaningful news, analysis and perspectives from around the world, with a focus on news outside the Anglosphere and beyond what is normally seen in corporate media (e.g. anti-imperialist, anti-Zionist, Marxist, Indigenous, LGBTQ, people of colour).

  • To encourage community members to contribute commentary and for others to thoughtfully engage with this material.

  • To support healthy and good faith discussion as comrades, sharpening our analytical skills and helping one another better understand geopolitics.

We ask community members to appreciate the uncertainty inherent in critical analysis of current events, the need to constantly learn, and take part in the community with humility. None of us are the One True Leftist, not even you, the reader.

Newcomm and Newsmega Rules:

The Hexbear Code of Conduct and Terms of Service apply here.

  1. Link titles: Please use informative link titles. Overly editorialized titles, particularly if they link to opinion pieces, may get your post removed.

  2. Content warnings: Posts on the newscomm and top-level replies on the newsmega should use content warnings appropriately. Please be thoughtful about wording and triggers when describing awful things in post titles.

  3. Fake news: No fake news posts ever, including April 1st. Deliberate fake news posting is a bannable offense. If you mistakenly post fake news the mod team may ask you to delete/modify the post or we may delete it ourselves.

  4. Link sources: All posts must include a link to their source. Screenshots are fine IF you include the link in the post body. If you are citing a Twitter post as news, please include the Xcancel.com (or another Nitter instance) or at least strip out identifier information from the twitter link. There is also a Firefox extension that can redirect Twitter links to a Nitter instance, such as Libredirect or archive them as you would any other reactionary source.

  5. Archive sites: We highly encourage use of non-paywalled archive sites (i.e. archive.is, web.archive.org, ghostarchive.org) so that links are widely accessible to the community and so that reactionary sources don’t derive data/ad revenue from Hexbear users. If you see a link without an archive link, please archive it yourself and add it to the thread, ask the OP to fix it, or report to mods. Including text of articles in threads is welcome.

  6. Low effort material: Avoid memes/jokes/shitposts in newscomm posts and top-level replies to the newsmega. This kind of content is OK in post replies and in newsmega sub-threads. We encourage the community to balance their contribution of low effort material with effort posts, links to real news/analysis, and meaningful engagement with material posted in the community.

  7. American politics: Discussion and effort posts on the (potential) material impacts of American electoral politics is welcome, but the never-ending circus of American Politics© Brought to You by Mountain Dew™ is not welcome. This refers to polling, pundit reactions, electoral horse races, rumors of who might run, etc.

  8. Electoralism: Please try to avoid struggle sessions about the value of voting/taking part in the electoral system in the West. c/electoralism is right over there.

  9. AI Slop: Don’t post AI generated content. Posts about AI race/chip wars/data centers are fine.
