Welcome to c/news! Please read the Hexbear Code of Conduct and remember... we're all comrades here.

Rules:

-- PLEASE KEEP POST TITLES INFORMATIVE --

-- Overly editorialized titles, particularly if they link to opinion pieces, may get your post removed. --

-- All posts must include a link to their source. Screenshots are fine IF you include the link in the post body. --

-- If you are citing a twitter post as news please include not just the twitter.com in your links but also nitter.net (or another Nitter instance). There is also a Firefox extension that can redirect Twitter links to a Nitter instance: https://addons.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/addon/libredirect/ or archive them as you would any other reactionary source using e.g. https://archive.today/ . Twitter screenshots still need to be sourced or they will be removed --

-- Mass tagging comm moderators across multiple posts like a broken markov chain bot will result in a comm ban--

-- Repeated consecutive posting of reactionary sources, fake news, misleading / outdated news, false alarms over ghoul deaths, and/or shitposts will result in a comm ban.--

-- Neglecting to use content warnings or NSFW when dealing with disturbing content will be removed until in compliance. Users who are consecutively reported due to failing to use content warnings or NSFW tags when commenting on or posting disturbing content will result in the user being banned. --

-- Using April 1st as an excuse to post fake headlines, like the resurrection of Kissinger while he is still fortunately dead, will result in the poster being thrown in the gamer gulag and be sentenced to play and beat trashy mobile games like 'Raid: Shadow Legends' in order to be rehabilitated back into general society. --

The USA is now at war with Hamas, this is not a drill.

Finally, we get to invade the sea just like the Romans.

Whipping the sea like Xerxes

Quick! Inform the Israeli Air Force that there's Hamases hiding under US Navy ships. Tell them they got tunnels and shit.

If only there were some other way to transport aid into Gaza. Maybe an existing pier or some kind of road. What a shame, I guess we’ll just have to spend another third of a billion on dragging the worlds most expensive artificial reef off the sea floor

incredibly common American infrastructure L

Listen it was only 320 million, you can't expect something constructed that cheaply to last more than 2 weeks

For 3.2 billion, we might be able to have one make it a couple months porky-happy

Maybe the real pier was the money we pocketed along the way?

If only it had broken off and clogged the Suez Canal they'd already be fixing it

And we're supposed to see this happening and then also be convinced that the US should engage in acts of aggression in the South China sea.
