They want a global nuclear strike capability that doesn’t rely on making the US do the threat for them.
Also probably a faster nuclear deployment time against Pakistan or I guess any other nuclear power.
Space is a neutral zone like the Antarctic. Like they have any right to bring weaponry over there.
Rather than having weaponry to protect Earth against external threats like asteroids, they’d point the weapons inwards to oppress the population of Earth.
This administration should be dismantled as soon as possible. It’s toxic to the world.
Like Israel has ever cared about laws or decency.
Rather than having weaponry to protect Earth against external threats like asteroids, they’d point the weapons inwards to oppress the population of Earth.
What, a fine upstanding state like Israel? Never.
I didn’t read the article, I would assume no one reading it is dumb enough to think Israel has any intention of using weapons deployed in space for anything other than killing Muslim schoolchildren. And probably eventually Jewish schoolchildren who’s parents don’t align with Zionism.
With the US footing the bill, I’m guessing.
And you’d be correct. The only reason Israel is a tech powerhouse is them having a captive and defenseless population in which to field-test anything they come up with, AND THEN have everything paid for by the US taxpayer.
You mean Space Lazers or dare I say… Jewish Space Lazers?
I miss living in a time when that was a funny statement
We’re Jews out in space
We’re zooming along protecting the Hebrew race
We’re Jews out in space
If trouble appears we put it right back in its placeWhen goyim attack us
We give 'em a smack
We’ll slap them right back in the faceWhen they say they are planning to develop them, what they mean is that they are planning to make their existence public. You should assume Jewish Space Lasers are literally a thing today.
Nope, a space laser is a stupid weapon.
A system of kinetic impactors would be far more practical.
To be fair the article says “Space Weapons”, not necessarily lasers, so something stupid and destructive like dropping some kinda mass payload from low orbit would also count.
Israel will set them up to fire on everyone if they ever fall. It’s the same thing with their nuclear arsenal, but even more out of reach. That’s what they use when they can’t bribe politicians to support them.
Hang on, isn’t “the only reason we (US) haven’t done that is because it’s illegal and also I’m pretty sure we’ve secretly done that already?”
I mean, it’s clear international law no longer applies but isn’t this another example of that?
And here I was, thinking the Jewish space lasers are just a silly conspiracy.
When have conspiracy theories turned into trailers?
Turns our the disheveled schizophrenic on my street corner actually did have insider knowledge.
came just to ctrl f and find the jewish space lasers comment.
What, they suddenly realise there’s babies and children in places other than Palestine, or something?
Gotta keep the war hate machine going
Some kind of laser? In space? Controlled by who?!
I do not trust an evil nation like Israel with weapons like this. Not at all.
I don’t trust any nation with weapons like these…
I trust Iceland with weapons like these. If they want to use a kinetic strike on the polar bears that their problem.
Dr. Greene?! Paging Dr. Marjorie Taylor Greene?!
She has some terrible ideas, but the way they smeared her over this reminds me how they attacked Mamdani calling him an antisemitic Jihadist. Sad so many people on the left merely parroted their pro-genocide AIPAC politicians at the time.
Dude, fuck off. Marjorie Taylor Greene is a white supremacist. She was talking about nonsensical antisemitic conspiracy theories she got off of social media (she was blaming US wildfires on “Jewish space lasers”). Do not try to “well, ackshually” her with this revisionist garbage. She never had a point, and anything resembling one was accidental.
Edit: Oh, you’re one of those Jill Stein assholes. That actually checks out.
ewwwww jill stein can eat rocks
Non-US guy here, what’s going on with Jill Stein?
Our electoral laws naturally result in a two-party system with (for the last century) the Democrats as the relative left and Republicans as the relative right. There are only two other parties that have any significance at all - the Green Party, which is ecologically focused party that backs renewable energy as their main feature, but is also very socially liberal; and the Libertarian Party, which is like the Republicans except they’re in favor of legalizing recreational drugs and abolishing even more regulations than the Republicans.
Jill Stein has been the head of the Greens since 2012 or so. Under Stein’s leadership, the Greens don’t really run for any offices other than President. Despite their platform being very popular in Democrat dominated areas, sometimes more popular than the actual Democrat platform, they almost never make a real attempt to run for city or state positions. Instead, the Green Party almost exclusively runs in the presidential election, and exclusively fields Jill Stein as their candidate. Due to our archaic first-past-the-post system, having two candidates on the relative left makes it easier for a candidate on the relative right to win, even if a majority of voters would prefer a relative left candidate, due to the votes getting split. The Greens also make bigger pushes in what are expected to be closer elections, spending more money and maintaining a larger media presence, siphoning votes from the Democratic candidate despite never having done better in a presidential election than 2.7% of all votes. However, in areas that flip parties frequently, that percentage is higher and they often function as a spoiler candidate, handing what should be a close win for a Democrat to an easy win for a Republican.
Stein herself has also been seen at events with Putin, has repeated Russian propaganda about Ukraine and NATO, and has been investigated by the FBI for possible collusion with the Russian government to interfere in US elections.
from the article:
“And my own connection to RT, you know ironically, it takes a Russian television station to actually be open to independent candidates in this country and that is a shame. A shameful commentary on our own media,” she told NBC’s Alex Seitz-Wald
there is nothing suspicious about her presence at the event
she condemned the Russian invasion of Ukraine. hilary Clinton has been seen at events with Putin. the investigation found nothing untoward on her behalf.
this insinuation is insidious.
For everything she can say, what she did was help split the vote and get us to here we are. Also, fuck her opposition to nuclear energy.
Shes a Putin patsy that manipulates 3rd party voters into throwing away everything to further enable Trump’s shit.
Theres a photo of her sitting at Putin’s table.
Way to repeat the smears that were investigated and proven by the Senate Intelligence Committee to have no merit. The only people that enabled Trump was Genocide Joe, Kamala Cheney, and all her joyful pro-genocide supporters.
That’s a pretty neat party trick. I can fit seven up my nose before it starts to tickle my brain.
She never said “Jewish space lasers.” You’re doing exactly what I said.
I’m aware she never literally said the words “Jewish space lasers”. What she did is blame the Rothschilds (by name) for funding “what looked like lasers or blue beams of light causing the fires”.
There’s absolutely zero reason for her to be bringing the Rothschilds into this except as antisemitic dogwhistling. She has a history of antisemitism outside of this too, of course:
In December 2018, she shared a video on her Facebook page, which features a prominent British anti-Semite [note: Holocaust denier] explaining that “Zionist supremacists have schemed to promote immigration and miscegenation.” This is a conspiracy theory that seemingly motivated the Pittsburgh synagogue shooter’s rampage in October 2018, less than two months before Greene’s post. Despite concrete evidence that these ideas were endangering American Jews, Greene chose to spread them anyway.
She’s also claimed George Soros “OWNS Antifa” and is an “ex-Nazi billionaire” (notably, Soros survived Nazi-occupied Hungary as a Jewish child).
She knew exactly what she was saying; her post boils down to “Jewish space lasers”, which is why anyone with any sense called it for what it is. Do not try to play pedant to pussyfoot around MTG’s white supremacist antisemitism, you little weasel.
MTG was just saying anti semitic shit and this one was simply close to being correct.
I mean, reporting on things she actually said isn’t smearing.
So MTG was right…
Isreal trying their best to prove the antisemites are right
So…a Jewish space laser controlled by the Rothschild’s?
Unfortunately the Rothschilds have been basically irrelevant since WWII so it’ll be controlled by someone else, but yes.
It’s still sad that the line between satire and reality is so blurred that my post is taken at have value.
They’re in the Epstein files a lot for an irrelevant clan.
And make US pay for it
I thought there were agreements regarding the fact that weapons should not be deployed to space.
Israel’s track record of abiding by international laws and treaties is… Well. Less than stellar.
they’ll use those weapons too. And they’ll feel great about using them.
Baddum - Tsss…
Ha! Israel following agreements regarding weapons. Ahh … good one!
Yeah but as we all know by now, it’s considered deeply antisemetic to say no to israel.
From what I understand it’s only WMDs that are internationally banned from space, while obviously a rather distasteful thing to do it’s not unlawful to put conventional weapons in space. The Soviets armed some of their space stations with autocannon for example, which isn’t even the best example of their space programme making Bond villains everywhere look like complete scrubs.
No one was ever going to respect such an agreement. This stuff has been in the works for a while. Russia looks like it’s testing out it’s own satelite killing tech as we speak as well.
