In response to the significant losses Israel sustained after it launched a war against Lebanon in 2006, the US and Israel began developing a short-range air defense system called Iron Dome. And for the first time since then, Iron Dome is at risk of being defeated. 🧵 — professional hog groomer (@bidetmarxman) November 1, 2023ALT
Iron Dome has 10 missile batteries in operation throughout Israel, with the key component being the Tamir missiles. The missiles are designed to intercept incoming Qassam rockets. Famously, each missile costs $80,000, while Hamas’s rockets can be produced forALT
While Iron Dome is 90% effective against small volleys of rockets, it can easily be overwhelmed. This was demonstrated on Oct 7 when the 3-5,000 barrage of rockets Hamas launched reached targets throughout Israel. pic.twitter.com/xpc49Dgssx — professional hog groomer (@bidetmarxman) November 1, 2023ALT
The huge number of rockets launched since the start of the conflict is still only estimated at 30% of Hamas’s total stockpile. And with the threat of tens of thousands more rockets to come, Israel has begun frantically flying in surplus missiles from the US. pic.twitter.com/CHBiMUG956 — professional hog groomer (@bidetmarxman) November 1, 2023ALT
But is this sustainable? Israel is very secretive about the number of Iron Dome missiles it has stockpiled. If US+Israeli production cannot sustain current rates of fire, stockpiles will soon be depleted, and Israel will be exposed to missile attack in a way it hasn’t in years. pic.twitter.com/e4fhyInsYh — professional hog groomer (@bidetmarxman) November 1, 2023ALT
The majority of the components that go into Iron Dome and the Tamir missiles are already currently manufactured in the US. But just last week, Raython announced they’ll begin producing Tamir/SkyHunter missiles at a dedicated facility in the US by 2025. pic.twitter.com/CBShJq4Wle — professional hog groomer (@bidetmarxman) November 1, 2023ALT
Thus, there may be a window of opportunity between now and the start of US production in 2025 during which Israel/American stockpiles of Tamir/SkyHunter missiles can feasibly be exhausted. Once that happens, Israel will be very vulnerable to missile attack. Enter Hezbollah. — professional hog groomer (@bidetmarxman) November 1, 2023ALT
Since Oct 7, Hezbollah has been systematically disabling Israel's radar installations along the border with Lebanon. These installations are the critical early warning system allowing Israel to detect incoming missiles. Every day, Israel is increasingly blind to the north. pic.twitter.com/VoJpSYokSk — professional hog groomer (@bidetmarxman) November 1, 2023ALT
What’s the goal? In the past decade, Hezbollah has developed a sophisticated arsenal of missiles with much larger payloads than Hamas. And unlike Hamas’s unguided rockets, these missiles can make precision strikes on military installations throughout the Occupied Territories. pic.twitter.com/PHHhLBQzZi — professional hog groomer (@bidetmarxman) November 1, 2023ALT
Add to this Yemen’s commitment to continue sending missiles+drones from the south as long as Gaza is under attack from Israel and the US. It’s no coincidence that one of the poorest nations who themselves underwent a brutal decade-long siege is bravely rising to Gaza’s defense. https://t.co/YyPlaEsYKW — professional hog groomer (@bidetmarxman) November 1, 2023ALT
All indications are that the immediate goal of this underdog coalition between Hamas, Yemen, and Hezbollah is to force an immediate halt to the brutal siege on Gaza. They’ll do this by compelling the US to restrain Israel, since Israel cannot continue without full US backing. — professional hog groomer (@bidetmarxman) November 1, 2023ALT
Right now, the US is happy to permit Israel to continue its genocide of the Palestinians as long as the fighting remains within Israel’s borders. But if this conflict veers toward expanding into a regional war, the US is almost certain to bring Israel to heel. — professional hog groomer (@bidetmarxman) November 1, 2023ALT
And there are even wider implications. If the Iron Dome is shattered, many “Israelis” will flee a war zone they aren’t obligated to stay in, since–unlike Ukrainians–at least 10% have 2nd passports from western countries and can freely leave without needing to seek asylum. pic.twitter.com/ZAB7rk8x3F — professional hog groomer (@bidetmarxman) November 1, 2023ALT
Losing a big chunk of their fighting and working age population has the potential to cripple Israel’s ability to wage war, or even sustain an economy that was barely hobbling along even before the war. Losing the Iron Dome constitutes an existential threat to the Zionist project pic.twitter.com/M3JDvOAJ9B — professional hog groomer (@bidetmarxman) November 1, 2023ALT
The most powerful empire of the 20th century lost in Vietnam when it went up against an incredibly dedicated and resourceful people fighting for their only home. What once seemed invincible, can develop cracks. And only with the benefit of hindsight does its fall seem inevitable pic.twitter.com/LlxVwG0ptn — professional hog groomer (@bidetmarxman) November 1, 2023ALT

you Wish you has a monster wife as big and tender as this

Yes this is the same Rose O'Neill who invented Kewpies

A quote from O'Neill: “The buffoonery of the Kewpies and the passion of my serious drawings playing side by side is unusual, but not too unusual. In this droll existence, the Hamlet and Lear have always consorted with the clown.”

Here’s some more of her “Sweet Monsters”. This series was very personal to her, and she meant to keep all these drawings private until Auguste Rodîn insisted she show them.
