  1. I was under the impression that the jamming was targeted and transient. Also reports of more women showing up on the front lines
  2. Some more official sounding plans for post war Gaza Wonder how much of that multinational task force is agreed to or if it's mostly just wish casting. Would the Arab nations be Jordan, Egypt, Saudi? Maybe UAE and/or Qatar?
  3. Iran may be trying to de-escalate now
  4. If he wanted blue collar (along with blue shirt, blue pants, blue field, etc) Boise is definitely the right place
  5. Yeah it was getting pretty obvious Especially given that this is Israel's style
  6. Hadn't heard about this Baltic Jammer before.
  7. You're getting the cause and effect backwards. He wouldn't have been ready if we made the championship game but if he'd been ready we'd have made the championship game.
  8. The economist has an interview with Zelensky https://www.economist.com/europe/2024/01/01/a-new-years-interview-with-volodymr-zelensky https://threadreaderapp.com/thread/1742290564857368834.html
  9. Sounds like they got another leader too and the Hezbollah speech is reportedly back on.
  10. Good thread looking at some basic mistakes made in a recent politico article https://threadreaderapp.com/thread/1741086084166029408.html
  11. Isn't this why France and the other EU countries dropped out of the US led prosperity guardian operation?
  12. Speaking of content, sushihorn is back with some good analysis and discussion of the playoff game @immamac, is this the kind of stuff you're looking to promote and advertise on twitter?
  13. There's a lot of people seeing old images, sometimes from filming actual movies and sometimes from the Syrian civil war and spreading them around as new to this conflict https://www.bbc.com/news/world-middle-east-67760523
  14. It's an Epic Store exclusive (probably for a few more years) but Alan Wake 2 is on sale Deluxe Edition - $55.99 Standard Edition - $39.99
  15. What I'm hearing from senior Israeli officials about the war: 1. This phase of the war, Phase 2, which includes taking operational control of Gazan towns and neighborhoods (yet not achieving full control enemy clearance), will end soon. They are hopeful about specific achievements in Khan Younes, where Hamas leaders are suspected to be hiding. However, there are no guarantees. They plan to target other areas down south. Israel is seeing increased Hamas attacks in areas it already has taken. 2. Phase 3 is expected to begin by mid to late January. The IDF will relocate in the north and center of Gaza, withdrawing from some areas. As I reported last week, Israel will not allow the en masse return of the Palestinian population. The argument is that these areas are still battlegrounds, and therefore, the return of civilians is unsafe. The outlook is long-term, at least a year. Many draw parallels to the IDF operations against Palestinian terror groups in the West Bank during the 2nd Intifada, which took about 2 years. 3. During Phase 3, the IDF will continue aerial assaults and ground raids, aimed at killing Hamas leaders and crippling its infrastructure and command. Israel is also preparing a plan to undermine Hamas' control of funding and taxation across Gaza. 4. Israel will be open to limited pauses in fighting, even extended ones, to facilitate more hostage deals. It is willing to release substantial numbers of Palestinian prisoners and ensure safe passage for Sinwar and Hamas leadership to leave Gaza if they free the hostages and cease fighting. 5. The general mindset within the defense apparatus is to prevent further worsening of the humanitarian crisis in Gaza, fearing it will limit Israel's legitimacy in targeting Hamas. This mindset is constantly and internally challenged by those who argue that Hamas will never be crushed as long as it is not held responsible by the Gazan civilians for their disaster. 6. The main issue for Netanyahu and the right wing is whether ending Phase phase 2 and the intensive ground assault will be perceived as being weak on Hamas. Additionally, Netanyahu has yet to provide a clear vision for Gaza and how the war will be won. He is now committed to campaign efforts in an attempt to rescue some of his tarnished image. This is creating increased rifts in the emergency coalition. 7. All eyes are on the north. Tens of thousands of Israelis are internally displaced due to the war Hezbollah initiated immediately after Hamas attacked. The general assessment in Israel is that diplomatic attempts vis-à-vis Hezbollah will fail, and the chances of war are increasing.
  16. I saw over 2,700 watch the OTF live stream this morning. 1,500 watching the live stream right now.
  17. https://www.bbc.com/news/world-us-canada-67766964
  18. the food inflation rate is really killing his budget
  19. OTF should also take some of the best lines and moments from the broadcasts and make youtube shorts. those things bring in a lot of views from my understanding.
  20. I like the visual style of this channel. It usually covers battles in ancient wars but also provides updates on Ukraine. This covers up to Nov 30th so probably not anything new to anyone that's been paying attention lately but it's nicely summarized
  21. The Russians have got to stop consulting with Alex Jones and David Grusch Check out this thread at Thread Reader App. https://threadreaderapp.com/thread/1736800497418612894.html
