Wouldn’t be that hard to develop and build a sea drone that is a mine.

A drone with a heavy explosive payload that could be remotely piloted into the desired position, then submerged just under the water and hold that position, waiting to trigger.

It would need to come in two pieces: a flotation/propulsion/payload upper segment and an anchor/ballast lower segment. Lower segment is basically a big hollow anchor filled with air. When filled with air, the whole thing is easily buoyant enough to float freely and move around. When ready to deploy, fill the anchor segment with water, making it much heavier and sinking it to the bottom. Have a cable on a winch connecting the two sections. Once the anchor hits the sea floor, reel in the winch until the upper segment begins to sink. Stop the winch when the upper segment reaches the desired depth. The upper segment needs to be buoyant, but not buoyant enough to lift the anchor off the bottom. Once in place, you can shut off most of the electronics and only have a vibration/magnetic/mechanical/whatever trigger waiting to detonate the payload. (If you want to be more elegant and ethical about it, also have it operate the winch to resurface on a regular basis to expose its antenna and listen for a disarm signal.)

because now everyone knows where the safe route is.

Have the safe route come within convenient range of heavily entrenched shore-based artillery.

Eh, even if they did, though. Fair’s fair. Perfectly legit to respond to a country bombing you by bombing them back.

Well, let’s be fair here. Could still have been Israel, since they get a lot of their weapons from the US.

Or as I like to call them, “collaborators”.

I’d love to see Democrats running on that for 2026 elections.

Dems: “Best I can do is running on slightly reforming ICE, and maybe making it illegal for them to wear masks … unless it’s cold or they feel it’s necessary for their safety.”

Nah. The idea that Republicans might lose the midterms and then leave him open to impeachment and prosecution based on the Epstein files is what’s pushing him to take control of voting. The right-wing conspiracy theories are just his lame attempt to disguise his motives.

Did Trump make a bet with someone about how many different countries he could invade in 30 days?

a fantasy conspiracy that Israel is somehow central to some scheme by the Illuminati, the Jesuits, the Freemasons, and the Zionists.

I mean, I’m not convinced yet, but… Just saying, recent events have made me more open to the idea.

The actual believers are long gone.

All three of them!

You can be critical of something and still support it

If you support any state, you’re not an anarchist.

If you support a theo-fascist state, you’re not even close to an anarchist.

I don’t have to support the state of Iran to oppose the US and Israel.

Ah, yes. Any good anarchist should support the authoritarian theocratic state that’s being attacked!

That’s insane.

If you expect anything else from this regime, you haven’t been paying attention.

Republicans are weak-willed morons. There will be a few days of uncomfortable confusion, but they’ll be cheerleading this by next week.

After all, they never met a middle-eastern war they didn’t like.

• Killing lots of brown people.

• Unlimited money for their defense contractor buddies.

• Get to cosplay as patriotic for supporting the war effort and supporting the troops. (Words only for the troops, of course. Still cutting veteran’s healthcare budget.)

What’s not to like?

…while you still can.

The actions your words encourage within the west are the same that the most bloodthristy warhawks encourage.

I don’t think the bloodthirsty warhawks are encouraging the abolishment of all states, especially the ones that kill people. And, yes, especially the one I live in.

I’m not trying to ‘both sides’ this shit as much as I’m trying to ‘no sides’ this shit.

Also, don’t forget, the US attempts to cancel elections due to being in the middle of a war, despite extensive historical precedent of still holding elections during wartime.

Guys, guys. Chill.

Both of these countries are killing their own civilian population. But now one of them is also killing the other country’s population as well. Probably soon to be joined by the other doing the same in return.

Let me just be the anarchist in the room and say fuck both of these countries. Fuck every country. We shouldn’t have countries. And we especially shouldn’t have countries that kill people, no matter which side of an imaginary line they’re killing people on.

And then what? Deport all the Cubans?
