While the UK media obsess over Prince Nonce, the latest Epstein reveal shows the FBI do believe Epstein to be an Israeli asset; that Trump is compromised by Israel & that Jared Kushner is the real power behind the Trump crime gang. And that's before you get to President Nonce's latest vile behaviour

Just seen Kneecap's promo video for their album. Driving about loyalist areas of Belfast in a billboard van with 'report Fenian activity' on the side along with a hotline number. Mad bastards. 😂 Be some crack listening to the heroes calling in.

I am a historian who has written about insurgencies. This is true.
The irony in militaristic terms is that the bovino maga set are buying themselves into a classic counter insurgency trap (everyone who lives in the place you're occupying and laying siege to hates you and will give aid without question to anyone who looks likely to have a chance at fucking you up).
these guys are LARPing like siege commanders talking about "supply lines"
rightoids literally cannot comprehend the idea of a community caring for their own; these people live in Minneapolis their supply line is a five minute drive to the grocery store
