The Israeli pagers targeted individuals. The Ukrainian drones targeted equipment with zero human victims. It’s thinking on a much more advanced level, and I resent any analogy. The Israeli operation was crude and clumsy in comparison. Plus, the sheer caliber of the opponent is completely different.

Spain Lucked Out
Most of the immigrants to Spain, though, are Hispanics. It’s the same culture. Spain lucked out in that it has an infinite supply of same language / same culture immigrants and smartly encourages them to come.
Barcelona, in particular, will benefit from having more Spanish-speakers, which will put to rest all Catalonian silliness.
It’s also quite fitting that the children of the Spanish Empire should pay the debt of gratitude to the madre patria.
Global Shanty Town
There have been countless little streams, murders, rapes, forced confinements, kidnappings… and all this relentless determination to harm, to trouble, to ruin life, which has transformed one of Earth’s most peaceful and civilized countries,
Great Britain, and with it so many others in Europe—Sweden, the Netherlands, Belgium, France, Germany—into chaotic assortments of untidy and dilapidated wastelands, brutish and ultraviolent, which everyday put us on notice, in public transportation, in hospitals, in schools, in the street, as to their status as pioneering
outposts of the global shanty town.Renaud Camus, The Deep Murmur
Paris burned last night. People burned today in Boulder, Colorado. The global shanty town will only be possible when everybody who remembers the old life, the rights, the culture, the standard of living—all that inconvenient, high-maintenance stuff—goes away.
My Feed
It really is quite a feeling to scroll through my X feed where half of the posts are about the brilliant Ukrainian drone operation and the other half is about Glenn Greenwald’s licking of spit from a gay prostitute’s foot.
The Famous Ukrainian Sense of Humor
The reason why the strategic operation for the destruction of Russian military air bases was carried out today is that June 1 is the International Day for Protection of Children. The destroyed bombers have been murdering Ukrainian children for over three years.
In addition, the name of the Head of the Security Service of Ukraine who planned the operation is Vasyl Malyuk. In Ukrainian, Malyuk means “child.”
Here’s his photo:
P.S. Turns out in Russia June 1 is the day of the Military Aviation Industry. This just can’t be beat.
A Military Op for the Ages
41 Russian strategic bomber was destroyed today deep in Russia by Ukrainian drones. The operation took 1,5 years to plan and coordinate and is the first in the world of this kind.
The loss of the bombers is an irreparable blow to the Russian air fleet because these aircrafts are no longer manufactured. They are too complex and there’s no capacity in Russia to make any new ones after the Soviet-era supply of the planes is exhausted.
History of Warfare
The history of warfare is being rewritten on this day:
Extraordinary precision, unimaginable coordination and effectiveness. And no civilian casualties.
I stand in awe.
P.S. Five air bases by the most recent count. Russians are so inept that they haven’t managed even to turn on the siren alarm at one of them.
Dark Magic
This is causing me physical pain:
People, what are you doing, people? I can’t even watch the clip to the end.
Sheltered
People don’t remotely understand civilizational differences. They are extremely sheltered and unaware of how easy it is to crumple and throw away the civilizational achievements that make this shelterdness possible.
Godlike Choices
On the subject of Glenn Greenwald’s sex tapes (which, by the way, he shared widely of his own free will), you can see people battle the very natural ick his behavior causes them because it conflicts with the neoliberal dogma.
But shouldn’t he be free to do whatever he chooses?
Consenting adults, so it must be good.
How would you feel if your sex life…
There’s terror in the thought that we could pass moral judgment because everything is supposed to be equal to everything else. Life is not a continuum but a collection of discrete segments that have no impact on each other. Every one of these segments is a trip to a supermarket filled with choices that are all equal in value and have no impact on anything else. There’s no sin, no evil worse than assigning a value and a consequence to the choices. They are godlike in their infallibility. You make choices so you can make more choices.
