In countries like Mali where there is no sea, this could mean simultaneous invasions of Guinea or Senegal to establish a river-sea corridor.

Is Israel the goal or are they just the first maritime country Hamas has encountered?

Hamas jumped out of my bathtub so I think you're on to something they clearly have mastery over water

[–] happybadger@hexbear.net 39 points 1 year ago (1 children)

Fuck that's scary. My city pipes water from a river to my house. I may as well be providing a runway for Hamas.

pro-Hamas domestic woke terrorists are secretly building an elaborate hose network to facilitate a full scale invasion of our beautiful suburban lawns

We were so scared of the fire nation. We never would have expected it to be the water tribes who were to be feared.

From every river to every sea Palestinians will be free. They can't be free somewhere there isn't a river or sea though so for now the moon is off limits. Maybe someday

[–] happybadger@hexbear.net 34 points 1 year ago

Mars however has clear evidence of ancient riverbeds and oceans. All Hamas has to do is hijack a spaceship and suddenly we're facing interplanetary glider attacks.

The moon has the sea of tranquility, as well as many others

[–] Infamousblt@hexbear.net 20 points 1 year ago (1 children)

But does it have any rivers? bean-think

[–] Flyberius@hexbear.net 10 points 1 year ago (1 children)

I did do some searching for anything overtly referred to as rivers. And whilst it does have features that are described as the remnants of magma rivers, I don't think it has any features that are explicitly named rivers. Still, I think they should count.

[–] happybadger@hexbear.net 7 points 1 year ago

Hamas never specified that it has to be a water river. A magma river would give them access to lava rockets.

Feeling very relieved they didn't name the great lakes the small seas

[–] happybadger@hexbear.net 16 points 1 year ago (1 children)

But of course you have the major rivers and canals that flow from them. That traps you between the Detroit River and Caribbean Sea.

Tale as old as time

[–] Stoatmilk@hexbear.net 14 points 1 year ago (1 children)

Clearly the easiest solution to the conflict is to desalinate all the seas, turning them into lakes

[–] happybadger@hexbear.net 13 points 1 year ago

Hamas has already planned for that scenario. Those lakes will have river inlets to oxygenate them. Otherwise they'd just be ponds.

no rivers or sea over here, im safe curious-sickle

from the stream to the creek might frighten me. the small pond to the small lake scared

[–] happybadger@hexbear.net 4 points 1 year ago (1 children)

Are those streams/creeks tributaries of rivers?

[–] Dolores@hexbear.net 10 points 1 year ago

your watershed hierarchies are no match for my linguistic prescriptivism, Hamas!

The Bolivian sea

[–] Dessa@hexbear.net 11 points 1 year ago (1 children)

But because they never mention the ocean, they can never capture everything

[–] happybadger@hexbear.net 6 points 1 year ago (1 children)

They can cross an ocean to get to another sea though. Same with landmasses to get to a river or sea.

[–] Dessa@hexbear.net 8 points 1 year ago (1 children)

Oceans cancel the area mapping. These reules were written before we knew the earth was round

[–] happybadger@hexbear.net 5 points 1 year ago

Sure, but insurgencies adapt to new tools. With GPS Hamas can pinpoint the location of every sea and river on the planet.

[–] CloutAtlas@hexbear.net 11 points 1 year ago

I believe they refer to the landmass between the river Jordan to the Sea of Tranquility on the moon. Depending on where the moon is at any given time, Palestine will either be the smallest or largest country on the planet.

The Gambia in shambles

from the Río Larsiparsahk to the Greenland Sea

[–] happybadger@hexbear.net 8 points 1 year ago

Fuck that's terrifying. Today Gaza, tomorrow Greenland?

[–] showmustgo@hexbear.net 7 points 1 year ago

I've been basing my support on the fact that they'll free everything from the st. Lawrence River to the Beaufort Sea

they mean the long way, in a longitudinal band around the planet earth.
