Ukraine does it now Israel. It's completely absurd.

It's so fucking weird, they act like they're completely removed from the actively engaged war they are in and tweet as if it's prestige television. What the hell is going on?

of course, but thats what it is. Ukraine was probably the most televised/accessible war footage in forever. They embarked on a media blitz which largely worked until October 7 lol. Now Israel is trying to use the same tactics, make sure their name and their narrative isn't necessarily accepted but known and available, and able to be pushed/spread/referred to by others.

Since late 2010s australia at least has been making a big fuss about the "cyber" domain of warfare. I'm sure they're all leet haxors and all but this to me reads just as much as recognition of value/reach of social media/internet. You don't have to reach everyone, only the ones that'll listen. And there's a lot that'll listen. Uhh USDF twitch channel yolo swag 420noscope

alternatively, the west collectively signalled they were ok with the israeli occupation, and everyone forgot about ukraine
