Going back 7 months: Germany’s Merz says Israel is doing the ‘dirty work for all of us’ by countering Iran

In this case probably attitude is probably similar

Venezuela is in process of leaving ICC and USA is not party to ICC.

you ready to BDS all computers, good chunk of phones and a bunch of other tech ?

last unredacted copy of epstein files /s

israeli defense budget is around $35b-$45b

usa aid is typically around $3b-$3.5b . 2024 higher aid is one off due to the war. also (unless i am wrong), good chunk of aid that Israel got from usa during war was in form of loans/guarantees for loans and such

iirc some of the matter devices want/need connection to the mothership outside. hence ipv6 on router

vast majority of our stuff is self hosted. http servers in a way are the least important way for our clients to work with us.

amount of work to support ipv6 on the edge will be very big and none of our clients asked for it as far as i know.

the only time we discussed it, it's when we were getting fedramp certification. because of this https://www.gsa.gov/directives-library/internet-protocol-ver...

company where i work has deployments across the world with few hundreds of thousands of hardware hosts (in datacenters), vms and containers + deployments in a few clouds. also a bunch of random hardware from multitude of vendors. multiple lines for linking datacenters and clouds. also some lines to more specific service providers that we are using.

all of it ipv4 based. ipv6 maybe in distant future somewhere on the edge in case our clients will demand in.

inside our network - probably not going to happen

remembering 10.254.158.58. Easy - the first 4 octets.

remembering 2a06:a003:1234:5678::555a:bcd7/64. Your cheapest shotgun and one shell please.

this is one of reasons why i stick to z-wave. totally self contained.

There’s a Russian joke that Russia’s mission in the world is to show other countries how not to be.

Or if we get more serious: it's mix of imperial ambitions, feeling of been humiliated by west and desire of revenge, (cultural level) aggression, arrogance, ignorance and been sure that Russia is a special country with special pathway and superior culture and one of world superpowers (that been ignored and this is not "fair")

A couple of days after russia started war, on it's official news agency site was auto published article that was supposed to be victory lap (after all it was supposed to be 3 day special operation). It was promptly removed but not before it was archived. You can read decent translation here and it will show you some glimpses of what I wrote above https://www.reddit.com/r/ukraine/comments/t2vz4v/ria_news_ac...

For reference: I was born back in USSR and lived there till my early teen years. Been closely following russian media, discussion platforms, etc ever since.

>. Israel has already ruled out giving Ukraine the anti-missile (and assumedly anti-drone) defenses [1]; and

Israel build in Ukraine early warning system for missile defense and transferred to Ukraine it's stock of patriot missiles and batteries

PLO was established in 1964 with purpose to fight Israel. Not to liberate west bank/gaza which according to you were occupied to prevent establishment of palestinian state.

lovely quote on this topic from one of PLO commanders that shows actual state of mind of Palestinians

The Palestinian people does not exist … there is no difference between Jordanians, Palestinians, Syrians, and Lebanese. Between Jordanians, Palestinians, Syrians and Lebanese there are no differences. We are all part of one people, the Arab nation [...] Just for political reasons we carefully underwrite our Palestinian identity. Because it is of national interest for the Arabs to advocate the existence of Palestinians to balance Zionism. Yes, the existence of a separate Palestinian identity exists only for tactical reasons[...] Once we have acquired all our rights in all of Palestine, we must not delay for a moment the reunification of Jordan and Palestine

us aid is around 6% of defense budget

just a random poll in canada: 94 per cent of the jewish community said they support Israel’s right to exist as a Jewish state .

Pretty sure you will get similar outcome anywhere else

to deploy it in space can also be an option

there was interview with guy from rafael who was head of iron beam project. it looks like they have some plans for dealing with icbm. airborne if I understood correctly

from haaretz article about Hamas plans:

Indeed, Abu Zaydeh is well aware that for the past two years the Hamas leadership had been talking about implementing "the last promise" (alwaed al'akhir) – a divine promise regarding the end of days, when all human beings will accept Islam. Sinwar and his circle ascribed an extreme and literal meaning to the notion of "the promise, " a belief that pervaded all their messages: in speeches, sermons, lectures in schools and universities. The cardinal theme was the implementation of the last promise, which included the forced conversion of all heretics to Islam, or their killing.

actually it's for shooting anything that is close enough and can be intercepted. during the war with hezbollah (drones were issue due to topography) lower power version of iron beam was deployed on trial bases and scored around 40 intercepts

you should tell it to ukrainians. because they are busy developing their own laser system https://thedefensepost.com/2025/04/15/ukraine-unveils-laser-...

apollo range according to site is 3km. iron beam 10km

did you see rapid rise in violence against russians after russia started war in ukraine ? did you see rapid rise in violence against azeris after ethnic cleansing that they executed recently ? against chinese for their treatment of Uyghurs. etc.. etc.. etc.. ? I guess no.

but when there is a violence against random jews across the west, somehow israeli government is the guilty one and not antisemitism.

few seconds. it (lower power version) was deployed during war with hezbollah and intercepted 40 drones (big one, not fpv).

there is footage of intercepts out there. was released about half an year ago

yes it does

during war with Israel they made adjustment. Internal messaging switched to "ancient great iran" and "we are all iranians" (as in citizens of iran) or something like this.

if you film for television, you need to take into consideration how it will look on television

neither. given that democracy is form of government and not preference for (mis)information distribution
