What aren't you getting? The point of that post was "this is what the IDF is saying, it might be accurate and it might not, I'll wait for further non-government media types to confirm". It's right the hell there. Also, nobody says "bruh". In other news, U.S. stomped a bunch of Houthis, Hamas...

The morale boost evaporated once they lost more territory to Russia in the east. Your second point doesn't make any sense. The U.S. hasn't given that permission yet, to use U.S. weapons inside Russia. It may happen in future, but as of now hasn't, thus the Kursk offensive didn't "achieve"...

I literally just said I'm not taking that blindly at face value the way Scott does with the Hezbollah stats, chief. Reading comprehension's a thing.

Bunch more Hez bigwigs biting the dust, per The Guardian. IDF estimates around 250 psycho-theocrats corpsified in the raids in the south, too, though being fair I'd wait for other sources confirming that figure. IDF: Hezbollah communications commander killed in strikes on Beirut Israel’s...

Apparently the order to evacuate came on Wednesday, and the Ukes had to basically make it out on-foot while getting picked apart by drones. Like there wasn't much of a plan to get out of dodge, every-man-for-himself type of stuff. Wild. Hard to say how much the Kursk offensive aided Russia...

Other middle-eastern countries have co-operated with Israel on airspace considerations a bunch of times for one, and for another (far more pertinent) point the U.S. and UK aren't going anywhere in terms of support. Not now, not ever. It'd take Israel setting off nukes, and only way that...

I mean, Kursk failed and was a huge miscalculation on Ukraine's part, likely accelerating the gains Russia's been making in the east the last couple of weeks. But yeah, the broader point stands, there's no way in hell Putin's re-directing military assets from Russia's west & Ukraine's east to...

There's no argument/justification for what Russia's been engaging in here. There's also the reality, Ukraine isn't going to be getting it back at this point. Very likely never were, short of Biden choosing to have gone all-in with leading a full-on NATO war against Russia on day 1. Majority...

Fuck no. They have their own problems/preoccupations about now. Iran's of interest to Russia, but not at the cost of materiel important in securing Russia and their baby brother next door.

That's interesting about the Merkavas only just going in now. Of course we know the guys killed were reconnaissance/commando types so stands to reason they'd go in first, but yeah, it's been a couple days since this kicked off, you'd figure the tanks would have been rolling in before just now...

Where do you get this nonsense? The IDF personnel losses are *all over* Israeli media. There's no "blackout" or "forbidden" nature of reporting it. Also, again, there's an edit button, and you're chronically double & triple posting again.

Pretty sure larger fighter frames like the 15 can carry & deploy bunker-busters. Likely not the MOAB, but don't know enough about that one, but yeah, I guess if shit *really* kicks off and it gets existential for Israel the U.S. would work something out with them if that became necesssary -...

We don't really know. Publically-available information, it would seem not, unless they get a re-supply of a bunch more U.S. bunker-busters and/or the MOAB type things it seems they don't have already. "Publically-available information" is kind of key though, every state has some secrets & aces...

I mean, how many Hez guys lost in those shootouts though, Scott? Funny you don't seem so interested in the side-by-side here, not that I guess Hezbollah's exactly going to put out press releases listing numbers of guys sent off to meet their virgins. I'm kinda figuring the body count's not...

What are you wanting here, me to throw out a link of "CNN says Hezbollah's rockets have been heavily degraded in IDF airstrikes" or something? It's all over every news outlet out there, left, right, centrist, basically everyone other than Hezbollah & the Iranian government agrees on that point...

The source material is the reality of what's gone down over the last week, and how quiet Hezbollah's been with their supposed barrage capability. If they have it, no better time than now to use it. They're not going to get another chance. The fact they haven't is telling, but yes, you keep on...

Not necessarily, I guess it'd depend on how they approach it. But yes, the U.S. will continue funding Israel forever, considering the alternative state of affairs in the region if they didn't, if that's your question. The Bernie type guys who wouldn't, they win like 5% of the U.S. vote, and...

No, I meant more that Israel doesn't have to worry about Hezbollah grunts-with-guns on the *homefront*, it's not really an issue in terms of them invading en-masse and pulling off some Oct 7th thing but bigger. The IDF has a handle on that, and sounds like they've already dismantled a big prior...

Not really. The Hez fighters, infantry guys, aren't really of that much concern. All they have to do is take out the rocket launchers (which seems like 3/4 taken care of already), and they'd probably want to get a hold on stamping out a lot of the tunnel network too which is incoming. You're...

As the other guy says, they've said no such thing. Pretty clearly projectiles got through, 3 people were injured and 1 (Arab) killed, the IDF & Netanyahu's people are saying just that. And Iran claims they fired 200 rockets and "90%" of them hit home. Which is clearly not remotely true, maybe...
