Russia has been using tear gas in Ukraine for multiple years. It's been extremely well documented. Nobody cares. The UN is a useless organization because it has no "hard power". Its only enforcement mechanism is to hope that member states will use their respective armies to intervene in conflict.

Completely legal strike, against a military target. I have no issues with this strike from Hezbollah. That's how war goes. Casualties both ways. Props to Hezbollah on this one! Hopefully Israel ratchets up the intensity of their air strikes in response and creates 10 casualties for each one...

What you refuse to realize is that there is strategy associated with rationing Iron Dome interceptors. Israel knows that they can't intercept all of the rockets fired by Hezbollah. It's simply not possible or cost effective. Firing a $60,000-$100,000 Tamir interceptor at each low yield...

Objectively, the demage Hezbollah is doing to Israel is extremely minor in the grand scheme of things. You're talking about the damage / destruction of individual dwellings and the deaths of civilians on a single / low double digit scale. If you look at conflict from a historical perspective...

Germany 🇩🇪, Belgium 🇧🇪, Norway 🇳🇴 and Denmark 🇩🇰 collectively announced a new military aid package for Ukraine today valued $1.5 Billion usd. The package consists of the following... - Skynex Air Defense Systems - Gepard Air Defense Systems - Undisclosed Main Battle Tanks - Undisclosed...

It'll be interesting to see if Israel 🇮🇱 takes the strategic step to go after Iran's O&G production in any meaningful way. They could, objectively, deeply hurt the Iranian economy through the mass targeting of highly vulnerable oil production and storage sites, as well as processing and...

The $50 Billion usd loan for Ukraine, backed by frozen Russian assets, is going forward. The European Union 🇪🇺 has agreed in principle to make $35 billion available, while USA 🇺🇸 , Canada 🇨🇦 and Japan 🇯🇵 will use Word Bank mechanisms to put up the remaining $15 billion usd. The breakdown in...

Iran ought to get Hezbollah some air defense. Cheaping out with their proxies. Sad, really.

The Lebanese ought to invest in some quality air defense. It would be much more difficult for Israel to bomb them from the air with impunity. Israel's air defense isn't perfect by any stretch of the imagination, but it has proven to be effective!

Huge secondary explosion tonight in Beirut after an Israeli strike.

Good for Iran to finally stop with the empty threats and actually retaliate on behalf of their allies. That said, there are a couple things at play here. 1. Very few casualties were reported, meaning that the attack was likely of mixed success. 2. It doesn't yet appear that anything...

It has begun... Israeli artillery and aircraft are in support as Israeli forces enter southern Lebanon. It will be several hours before we get an accurate picture of what's happening on the ground. Hezbollah claims to be prepared. Israel is obviously confident that they can handle what the...

If Israel and Hezbollah wind up fighting anything that amounts to an "extensive" war, one has to wonder how far back it might set Hezbollah. Years? Decades? Assuming Israel's casualties are fairly numerous during the ground portion of their invasion, how much will they be willing to endure...

U.S. media reporting that Israel has informed the Americans that they will indeed commit to a "limited ground invasion" of Southern Lebanon. Personally, I think this is a mistake. I understand that Hezbollah is in disarray after most of it's upper and middle tier leadership has been killed and...

Denmark 🇩🇰 announced that it will invest an additional $680 million usd into Ukraine's domestic defense industry. The money will be split into 4 avenues... - Domestic Missile production - Domestic ATGM production - Domestic Attack UAV production - Domestic Artillery production Previously...

This is exactly it. You're not going to eradicate them, but if you can spend a $10 Billion usd to bomb into oblivion the current version of Hezbollah and their infrastructure and weapons systems that have taken 20 years to compile, you made yourself safer on your border. A ground invasion...

Israel's 🇮🇱 choice to wipe out Hezbollah leadership is an interesting one. They are counting on Hezbollah being degraded and disjointed because their command and control structure has been significantly reduced. I'd say that it's an excellent strategy overall. Now I'm really interested to see...

Another Russian GRAU ammunition storage depot was struck by Ukrainian drones during the night. This time it was in Kotluban in the Volgograd region. Massive Explosion and fire raging. This is the third significant stockpile in Russia proper to be destroyed in a week. Russia is having massive...

1. There is no legitimate blockade of the Red Sea that is going to happen with 2 American Carrier Groups in the region. Will there be heightened danger for vessels in region? Yes. A full blockade? No. Not to mention, port access through the Mediterranean will not be blocked. 2. Readiness...
