I'm more than happy to debate anything happening on the ground. But as I've said from the beginning, I'm not going to be emotionally manipulated by the ongoings / outcome of the war. I think it's best for the West if Israel has some measure of success, because anything that hurts the Iran /...
The best man in combat is the one who brings the best capabilities to the battlefield. War is not a test of purity. It's a test of will power and capability.
Ukraine, with help from the West, should be planning to exploit Russia's geography and it's spread thin air defense systems to absolutely decimate the energy and natural resource components of Western Russia, using cheap, long range drones by the thousands.
The size of Russia makes is damn...
The age old expression "actions speak louder than words" applies well here. Ignore the noise. People say all kinds of things. Pay attention to actions. The reality is that Israel has killed 1/10th of the people they could have killed by now (that's probably even understated) if their goal was...
If Israel 🇮🇱 does in fact make the push down into Khan Yunis that some are expecting, it will be interesting to see if HAMAS is better prepared to defend that sector of the strip. I thought they got steam rolled pretty quickly in the North and while they're still putting up some resistance, they...
Israel is not "massacering" Palestinian civilians. If you want to have an honest conversation about the conflict, you have stop perpetuating that nonsense. Israel allowed hundreds of thousands of Gazans to flee to a safer part of Palestine, many on foot, using a route established by Israel. If...
Turkey had their time in the sun and it passed in defeat, as happens with all great empires. Some day the USA will not be what they are now and somebody else (possibly China) will step in to be the big player in the world.
That's how history has proven to go!
But it's the only way wars are fought successfully. Nobody is calling for the genocide / extermination of a population. All you can do is try to eliminate as many militants on the opposing side as is possible and drain them of their will and resources to make. Only then can you come to a lasting...
That's why I don't get bent out of shape like many in the West when HAMAS launches indiscriminate missile attacks into Israel that kill civilians and, likewise, I don't lose my mind when Israel flattens some infrastructure and some civilians happen to die as a result.
Good luck trying to win a...
It's important to know who you're fighting and what they believe. Both sides have been invoking ancient scripture in this religiously bolstered war. That's why you must be willing to do the dirty work (despite international scrutiny) if you're either combatant in this conflict. Because if you're...
There is still some that Hamas is able to use. If you're Israel, it has to go ASAP. There also has to be extremely tight surveillance on the boarder with Egypt to make sure weapons and supplies aren't getting in that way. Obviously, sea access has already been cut off.
That way, only the...
Belgium 🇧🇪 has committed to sending Ukraine $665 million usd worth of military aid in 2024. The military aid will consist of tanks (being refurbished in Germany), artillery shells (as part of the EU commitment), ammunition, uniforms, etc.
Of course the appropriate response would be to completely flatten another evacuated neighborhood and any key sustainment infrastructure in Gaza in response. War is extremely ugly. Every time the enemy has success against you, the way you show respect for their effort is unleashing unrelenting...
Much easier said than done. Although this does represent an opportunity to deeply diminish Iran's regional / global power. Naturally, they're going to be stretched really thin if they want to support all of HAMAS, Hezbollah and the Houthis simultaneously, and "big brother" Russia has its hands...
Not a fan of the direct use of poisonous / toxic gas. Things like mustard gas are outlawed by the Geneva Conventions for obvious reasons. That said, I don't expect the IDF to go down in the tunnels either. My preferred method to chase HAMAS out of the tunnels would be...
1. To set segments of...
Poland's 🇵🇱 President, Donald Tusk is in Kyiv visiting Ukraine. A new military aid package for the Ukrainians has been announced, however, the details of the package have not yet been disclosed.
More importantly, however, Poland and Ukraine have signed an agreement allowing ongoing, direct...
The sad reality is that USA has more than 2500 Bradleys in storage and has 700 A4 models on order, with an open order to double that number if need be.
USA sent Ukraine 186 Bradleys, of which, 60-70 have been damaged and or destroyed, but they've been fantastic in their "tip of the spear"...
If you genuinely feel disrespected by somebody (in this case me) typing "lol", then I apologize. No disrespect intended. That said, it seems like a silly thing to take personally. But I digress...
Pakistan 🇵🇰 had absolutely no problem getting get PGMs through Iran's defense network in...
France 🇫🇷 has released compressive details regarding some of the military aid they will donate / provide to Ukraine throughout 2024. Below are the details.
78 additional CAESAR, 155mm howitzers: It was announced today that Ukraine purchased 6 additional CAESARS for immediate delivery. French...
USA 🇺🇸 will provide Ukraine with 17 "FrankenSAM" systems, using Soviet era BUK and KUB SAM platforms, retrofitted to fire RIM-7 Sea Sparrow missiles. The U.S. has hundreds of surplus sea sparrows that have been made obsolete by newer "evolved Sea Sparrow" missiles. With a range of approximately...
