If Israel wanted a two state solution, they can just declare their borders and whatever is outside of those borders us "Palestine". They could have done this 4 decades ago or tomorrow. They never will

The perpetual Arab slums of Gaza are walled off even more by Egypt.

The Arab world tolerates them more than Israel but would not be as tolerable if Hamas directed their hostilities at them.

Saudi Arabia is within 10 miles of Israel's southern border. Look at what they do to their own kind.

Prediction: Netanyahu & Likud is political toast.

Prediction: Netanyahu & Likud is political toast.

Unless there is an "emergency" government and elections are postponed.

Prediction: Netanyahu & Likud is political toast.

In a few weeks, after the Gaza Ground Invasion.

Then there's going to be some hearings and the intel fuckups will be revealed, and that will be the end of Bibi.

Oh, the knife stabbings have already started.

Being reported that the reason why that area was light on IDF was because Bibi redeployed many to protect the settlements of the hard core religious members of his coalition.

The settlements are probably a lot more heavily armed then the kibuttz around Gaza.

That is because the settlements have religious fundamentalists who do not fuck around like the tech-and manufacturing (or secular or sectarian) kibbuttz.

Ok, I will put out another prediction:

Truth Bombs about the crappy shape the TBTF banks are in in the US ripple across DC this weekend, and stocks crater on 10/30/23.

Methinks Gaza has some underground terrors waiting for when the Israelis attempt tunnel penetrations. Something low tech but highly effective?

They already have the emergency coalition with the opposition. Bibi will stay until Hamas is sorted out and then he's out, just like Golda in 1974.

The parallels are too glaring and too obvious.

I heard this as well.

Again, notice how QUIET the West Bank is. Reason: It benefits Fatah either way: Hamas is destroyed, leaving them the default Palestinian Political Force; or Hamas prevails, leaving them as the go-to Moderate Force.

I expect Ukraine to be divided up into East and West Ukraine, West Ukraine will be deeply in debt to the IMF. I'm not even certain it will survive as a country. Crimea will remain Russian, I'm not certain to what extent Western Ukraine will be Russian - anything with resources most likely.

The area we call Ukraine has been dominated by other countries since time immemorial.

Covid was an American Chernobyl

I believe that the U.S. is going to collapse just like the USSR did. The similarities between the late 1980s USSR and present day USA are uncanny — the endless lies, the corruption, the hollowing out of institutions, the censorship, and the decrepit leadership that is despised by the public.

So what will that look like going forward?

A century of decline (there is a lot more wealth to extract from the USA than there was from the USSR so the collapse will take longer).

Every city starts to look like the version of Los Angeles depicted in Blade Runner (or Elysium if you prefer) with dysfunction and chronic illness everywhere.

With high unemployment, Universal Basic Income becomes the only way for millions to survive. But UBI will be tied to following the vaccine schedule, SSRI schedule, and birth control schedule so the poor will die anyway.

The mafioso oligarchs gain even more power and dictate all aspects of our daily life but run a constant propaganda campaign to emphasize their benevolence (“Am I not merciful!?”).

Culture becomes even more grotesque with some variation of Squid Game on every channel.

Pharma uses AI to identify future leaders and arranges for their demise before they reach adulthood (Operation Herod).

Pharma openly assassinates political leaders who question their power and blames it, via their control of the media, on a lone gunman (Operation Oswald).

Florida and Texas will eventually get tired of losing elections, so they will withdraw to form their own Republics. The rest of the U.S. will be too sick and tired to bother with a response.

China will take Taiwan and become the new global hegemon.

That’s the present course that society is on. Unless the resistance rises up now and takes power back from the monsters.

The war in Israel could indicate that God will only allow them 10 more years to repent before he returns to set up the new millennial kingdom here on earth.

PS. Revisiting the starting pages of this thread is tons of fun.

GreaterNYCDude says

How's this for bold (or stupid, take your pick)?

Kamal Harris will be remvoed as VP. Hillary will be appointed the new VP by Biden. Biden will then step down. All before the Ides of March 2023.

(Taking a page from the Nixon playbook)

Hillary will then run (and win) in 2024 AND be eligible to run again in 2028.

Didn't happen.

Why not just roll in and fuck Russia up like we've been doing in the Middle East for 20+ years?

Because Americans have no balls anymore and cry for immediate surrender at every turn instead of enforcing the treaties being flagrantly violated by various Commie and Mooslim fucks? Look
at all the hardened consevatives crying for mommy and wetting their beds not long ago when couple of drones exploded over Kremlin. "Omg, the retaliation is coming to us! Run and hide, run and hide!" And these weren't even our drones...

This is misquoted/taken out of context. The original source of this speculation was from the Rapture thread https://patrick.net/post/1378973/?start=-39#last

PeopleUnited says

The war in Israel could indicate that God will only allow them 10 more years to repent before he returns to set up the new millennial kingdom here on earth. (Note: Jesus’ second coming is NOT the end of the world, rather it is the start of a new chapter in which Jesus rules as king on earth for 1000 years together with the help of all believers from all of history who will by then be all resurrected just like Jesus was)
https://www.thepropheticyears.com/enddepravity/have-the-10-days-of-awe-before-the-second-coming-begun.html

The above quote references a blog article with the link you left out, in which the author of the blog speculates that the 2023 Hamas attack of Israel could (as in might be) be a God ordained start of a 10 year period of “awe” aimed at getting the Children of Israel to turn back to God and recognize that their messiah was here 2,000 years ago and their leadership missed Him! (Note many Jews became believers at the time of Christ and the early church including the first disciples and Nicodemus. Most religious leaders rejected Jesus just like most still do today. Even so, today there are more Jews coming to faith. God has promised to give His people to the land between the Nile and Euphrates and that restoration happened in 1948 in part with the restoration of Israel as a nation in a portion of that land.)

So to be clear that 10 years that the blogger spoke of is speculation. But the Bible promises that when the church is removed from the earth in the rapture, that God will give Israel a dramatic rescue from the 7 years of unrelenting deception and destruction that the books of Daniel and Revelation describe. The rapture and tribulation that follows are a promise from God, the 10 year time period/speculation of that blogger is just that, speculation (not a prediction).

Prediction that in 2024 California politicians will attempt to loot the public pension funds by putting California municipal debt into the funds while selling off any viable investments the pension funds own. Unfortunately, they will find that the public appointees to run the funds were grossly incompetent and the pension funds are filled with a lot of worthless paper.

Who coulda possibly foreseen??????

Anyone who owns California municipal securities is gonna lose a bunch of dough.

Yes we did. We gave the assurances of their soverignty and territorial integrity in exchange for 2400 thermonuclear warheads and shitload of aircraft and missiles capable of delivering them. I don't believe you still don't know that, because it has been mentioned literally dozens of times on this very site alone, so I must assume this is just a tuckeresque pokemon-faced act by now.

No. There were no Russia when Kyiv was established ~1500 years ago. And Moscow was established only about 800 years back. The claim if Moscow "owning" Kyiv because at one time some Kyivan prince went North and established the fucking thing is no more valid than the US claiming we "own" London.

Not sure what the whole quip of "repeating history" even means in this context. What exactly is being "repeated"? If it means the military conquest of Ukraine by USSR from 100 years ago I agree - the resemblance is uncanny. It was even timed to be concluded by exact 100s anniversary, but the plan didn't work in the desired timeframe.

PS. Here's a good short summary of the last conquest: https://m.youtube.com/watch?v=9Gwuu7TXPwI

Corrupt oligarchs profiting from foreign wars while the people on both sides suffer.

RWSGFY says

True, but Russia was established from Kiev.

“And Oleg sat down, ruling, in Kiev, and Oleg said: ‘Let it be a mother of Russian cities’”. This is how the oldest chronicle, The Tale of Past Years, described how Prince Oleg, one of the first rulers of ancient Rus’, made the decision to designate Kiev as the capital city of the recently established state of Eastern Slavic tribes in the late 9th century.

Oleg came from the north, from Novgorod, where the Eastern Slavs’ statehood originated. Having captured Kiev, Oleg united the two population centers that formed what chroniclers would later call Rus’ (the term “Kievan Rus” was coined by historians only in the 19th century). The people who lived there were called Rus(s)kie (the same as what contemporary Russians are referred to as today). The word “Russkie” and derivatives of it were used for centuries to designate those living in the territory of former ancient Rus’ – meaning, not exclusively ethnic Russians.

Historians and those in charge of ideology in the Soviet Union were quite sensitive to the feelings of various ethnic groups. However, Rus’ and Russkie did seem to pose a problem, as the notions were not directly connected to modern Russians. The official historical account that was included in textbooks asserted that Kievan Rus’ was the first state of Eastern Slavs and the cradle of the so-called “ancient Russian ethnos”. Later, in the modern era, this old super-ethnos gave birth to contemporary Russians, Ukrainians and Byelorussians.
