It's just astounding that a 29 year YouTuber has managed to rankle the all-powerful ruling party in India. Amazing times we live in.

Tensions between the IDF and Netanyahu have become so severe that there are even some whispers of a possible military coup. Veteran and respected military correspondent Ron Ben-Yishai published a bombshell story in Ynet today.

I'm imagining this is all a dry run for would-be authoritarians across the US. The precedent is being set, just don't act so surprised when it's you being tackled and thrown to the ground in a few months.
