I'll be real: As long as Israel is getting the funding they are, I don't really see a Palestinian path to victory.

People are bringing up Vietnam and how they won by death by a thousand cuts, but the circumstances in this conflict are significantly, I'd even dare say dramatically different. That's not to say Palestine is completely helpless to fight back, but even after this flare-up the deck is still heavily in Israel's favor here. One has near-total control over the other's food, water, electricity and has air superiority, while the other doesn't.

It all comes down to the money flow: Weaken or even destroy that, and suddenly the odds change drastically.

Ngl, the idea of Xi personally stepping in every time his nation's bears are defamed is really funny

Funny stuff, but kinda overrated bears if we're being real.

Cuz if there's one thing Russians can't handle, it's cold and snow.

Like how Middle-Easterners can't handle heat.

Usually take Iran's side on stuff, but this is kinda pointlessly petty tbh
