i enjoy the phenomenon where in the 70s and stuff they used to look like accountants. then they all convergently evolved to be more like roided up oakleys types. it's interesting

It’s crazy how widespread that operator look went (beard, glasses, backwards cap, body armor/webbing over nondescript clothes). Like footage of Taliban vanguard into Kabul who dressed that way or cartels in Mexico or various members of both sides of the Ukraine war,

They've been there for longer than four days, as far as I understand it one of the conditions of the ceasefire agreement in Gaza is that these US Private Military Contractors (PMCs) and PMCs from other nations man the checkpoints between the north and south of Gaza, and thus "inspect" the vehicles of the Palestinian people returning to the north. This was done to facilitate the withdrawal of Israeli troops from these checkpoints, a compromise that both sides reached, no IDF, but PMCs instead. And you have to return to the north through these set up checkpoints, otherwise you're not subject to the agreement. Israel already bombed one car that tried to enter the north via another route, killing a child in the process.

Didnt realize Will was an operator

Mmw Gaza becomes the first of thiel’s “network city” crypto havens. That’s why these fascists were so obsessed with “the Palestinians could’ve had such great beachfront property!” They wanted to drive out the native population and have those who remain as laborers in their dumbass crypto dystopia.

Pics need more triangles.

Well, yeah. Ukraine was to hard. It ruins the murder-cation when the enemy have the ability to call in airstrikes on you. Hard to feel like an "operator" when you're shitting your pants in some trench.

Bright Green targets.

On the other hand perhaps they aren't as trigger happy as the Zionazis.

Wonder if they're affected by USAID or if Israel pays the bill and forwards the invoice to their expense department (USA)
