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

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...
Israel's army is more than capable of fighting a ground war backed by foreign Special Forces and overwhelming force from U.S. and British Air Force and Naval assets in the region. No significant quanties of foreign soldiers would have to be at risk for Israel to survive a major regional war...
Details of the $2.4 Billion usd USAI component of the aid package from USA have emerged. Note that this is separate from the $5.55 Billion usd PDA aid package announced simultaneously...
Several countries announced significant new military aid packages for Ukraine today. They are as follows...
USA 🇺🇸 announced $5.5 billion usd in PDA aid for Ukraine today and a further $2.4 Billion usd worth if USAI funding. All $8 Billion usd will go to Ukraine in the form of weapons and...
Hezbollah, understandably is trying to avoid all out, large scale war. They are in a tough place because if they do launch a massive missile barrage against Israel that overwhelms their air defense structure and leads to any kind of mass casualty event, not only will Israel respond by unleashing...
Breaking Significant News!!
Ahead of Zelensky's visit to Washington this week, USA 🇺🇸 is set to announce an $8.2 Billion usd military aid package for Ukraine tomorrow. $2.4 Billion usd will come from USAI and $5.8 Billion usd will come from Presidential Drawdown Authority.

Israel 🇮🇱 claims to have launched approximately 300 strikes into Lebanon on Saturday. I'll be very curious to see to what degree those strikes (and the ones coming over the coming days) degrade Hebollah's capability to launch vast quantities of missiles and rockets into Israel. Nobody doubts...
It's just war. The moral grandstanding is both hilarious and ridiculous at the same time.
Hezbollah and Hamas launch rockets into Israeli residential areas or blow up cafes / busses in indiscriminate fashion and the Arabs and Muslims race to praise the actions and call it resistance. Israel...
I'm happy to give credit where it's due. But Hezbollah has to do something other than bark and posture before I'm going to tip my cap to them out of respect.
I don't have any particular allegiance to Israel. I think they're a self-interested party (like the rest of us) looking out for their own...
