Motown Bombers Posted Tuesday at 05:25 PM Share Posted Tuesday at 05:25 PM I suspect there will be a lot of twigs with no berries in Lebanon. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tigerbomb13 Posted Tuesday at 06:26 PM Share Posted Tuesday at 06:26 PM I know it’s no longer 1999, but note to self: never strap a pager to my belt ever again. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Tigerbomb13 Posted yesterday at 01:52 PM Share Posted yesterday at 01:52 PM I’m really curious how pagers could be hacked to explode. Wild stuff. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hongbit Posted yesterday at 02:09 PM Share Posted yesterday at 02:09 PM The true story of how the operation went down will be closely held. The story of Stuxnet finally came out so eventually this will as well. For now, anyone that comes out with the details is either making things up for clicks or has been trolled believing someone making things up for clicks.

Hongbit Posted yesterday at 04:17 PM Share Posted yesterday at 04:17 PM Now everything with a lithium battery is blowing up around Beirut. Solar Panels, Smart Appliances, Car and Scooter batteries all going poof. This is possibly the greatest counter-terrorism operation of all time.

I get that innocent people died in this. That's tragic. But those people aren't the only ones this fundraiser is for. They see the members of hezbollah as victims too. They'll always have cheerleaders because.... Israel. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

As leaders, Hilter and Stalin were using terror as a lever of state power, which by definition I'll grant is a form of terrorism, but in conventional parlance I think most people would take 'terrorism' to mean the program of non-state actors and that is certainly what I meant to refer to. Terror by established government terror is more conventional tyranny? Now before they came to power? There was Krystallnacht and few other events IIRC, but TBF Hilter rose to power primarily by the conventional political process and the Bolsheviks fought an actual armed revolution so terror maybe a piece there also but to a larger 'conventional' movement.

Leninism is specifically the model that terrorists are following as they try to create chaos so as to enable the revolution. It was clearly the model followed in the rise to power.
