The major airline in Jordan, Royal Jordanian Airlines, just stated canceling flights for several people I know from different countries that we’re flying into Amman between 10/30 and 11/2.

I’ve been watching the airport traffic and flights were coming and going on time with no major cancellations. Not sure what that means for them to start canceling flights all of a sudden.

I was flying in on British Airlines, but I canceled last week. Haven’t heard from others yet of British Airlines canceling flights yet.

Last year he essentially predicted Ukraine (with US help) would have the war won by now.

Peter Zeihan has interesting thoughts on China, her demographics and relationship with Taiwan but other than that, he talks fast and with confidence. As we've seen with Ukraine, he should probably stay away from making predictions regarding war.

On the subject of that video. Never underestimate the United States ability to foment war, especially in the Middle East. It's become a finely tuned craft.

We're foreign policy experts at galvanizing people in that region who would normally hate each other.

He essentially predicted this? So he didn’t predict it.

I always find it odd in situations like this that they don't have food, water, medicine, and other essentials, but they all seem to have at least two flags to wave and wrap around themselves.

I don't know about you all, but when I finally decide to organize an attack on Mississippi that takes two years of planning*, I'm gonna cut the flag budget to damn near nil and use those funds to stock up on pallets of Vienna sausages and beanie weenies.




ETA:
*This is only a joke. I don't currently plan, nor have I ever planned, nor do I intend to ever plan to attack Mississippi in any way whatsoever.

NEW: Hamas militants were told by commanders to behead Israelis and cut their feet on October 7th, according to an Israeli interrogation video obtained and reviewed by Fox News.

A militant in his 20s also describes how Hamas used Telegram to share videos in real time as they conducted the massacre.

This militant says his commander, a man from Gaza City, told them they should not expect to return. We’ve left out some incredibly graphic details about what Hamas did to the bodies of women they slaughtered. They are too disturbing to explain on TV.

Obviously. Why would you waste time and resources attacking a place with no value?

You want to split hairs. Split hairs, I don’t care.

I follow Peter Zeihan and listen to his lectures on YouTube. His primary area of expertise is demographics and he bases many of his predictions on them. He's at his best when he's talking about China.

When it comes to Ukraine his basic thoughts were that we would arm Ukraine to the teeth and that armament would make the difference. Well we haven't really done that. Other than a shitload of weapons that were meant to be disposed of, Ukraine has received some stingers, a bunch of Javelins, some drones and some other things, like artillery systems.

What they haven't received from us are American jets, helicopters and tanks, the shite that really matters. They've primarily been given (by other countries) surplus Russian aircraft. As well as spare parts galore, artillery and small arms.

War isn't really in Peter Zeihan's wheelhouse. He predicted the Russian invasion but so did a thousand other "experts".

IDF Chief of Staff Lt. Gen. Herzi Halevi to Golani commanders: “We will enter the Gaza Strip. We will begin an operational and professional mission to destroy the Hamas operatives, the Hamas infrastructure, and we will also keep in our minds the images, scenes, and the fallen from Shabbat two weeks ago. Gaza is complex, Gaza is dense, the enemy is preparing a lot of things there, but we are preparing things for them as well."

I read some comments in that twatter thread. Here's the best one.


For over 70 years Allah has refused to support the Palestinians and given them nothing but defeat at the hands of Israel.
When will you get the message that Allah does not like you?
