International law has proven to be completely irrelevant when it comes to modern conflict. There are probably 50-100 countries around globe that are currently in significant breach of international law in some form or fashion. Whether it's territorial annexation, invasion, human rights, currency...

I've wondered this as well. Will Muslims from the regions surrounding Palestine join in? It's hard to get into Gaza specifically, but they could open another front. Furthermore, there are some 5 million Jews in USA, and bunch more in Europe and throughout South America. We know that they'll...

Everybody in that region murders and kills each other historically. It's been one of the most unstable regions of the world in modern history. Tons of tribalism, and religious / ethnic fighting. Countries ruled by kings and dictators because a heavy hand is needed to stop the country from...

Iran was never going to be "directly" involved. The USA chose those words carefully. What they were and continue to be, is one of the key financial backers of Hamas' military wing, behind the scenes. The majority of Hamas' weapons are funneled to Hamas by Iran. The remainder of them are...

Lots of people want to excuse their actions. Make no mistake about it, us Westerners, the ones who actually won the war, place blame firmly on Germany and their associates. I have 2 university degrees, in European history and political science, as well as a Masters degree in international...

How often are modern wars fought between sides with the same technology and military capability? Genuine question. Why would Hamas attack Israel, knowing that the response from the Israelis would be swift and severe, unless they simply see the people of Palestine (who they are supposed to...

Big news (genuinely) coming out of USA 🇺🇸. According to Newsweek, the Americans are set to transfer a "large batch" of Switchblade 600 drones to Ukraine. For those that don't remember, these drones were purchased back in early 2023, using USAI funds to procure them directly from Aerovironment...

Obviously this is meant to be hyperbolic and a little bit humoristic, but it goes without saying that Holocaust falls squarely on the German Nazis and their associates / allies. Nobody else.

No problem. If you don't want to hear anything that doesn't fit your narrative, or the narrative of the side you support, the ignore feature seems like the correct action for you!

I'm pointing out that a comment was hyperbolic to the point of being eye rolling. I also happily concede that there is propaganda being pushed by Israel that is BS. The mass rape and baby decapitation is almost certainly sensationalist proganda and an outright lie. I support Israel's right to...

95% of the atrocities are BS? Thousands of rockets were not fired into Israeli cities? Hundreds of civilians were not shot in their homes, ambushed in their cars, burned to death, had grenades thrown in their bomb shelters, kidnapped and taken as hostage, etc? I'm not seeing evidence of mass...

Almost every country on the planet was founded through warring with and / or genociding one or more population groups that lived there. Borders have changed substantially over time and most of that has to do with war. The same thing has always want to be true. If you want your territory back...

Israel has reportedly lost at least a Colonel and Lt. Colonel to this point, both of whom we're major unit level leaders. Both sides losing some key pieces!

Shahed drones are MUCH, MUCH easier to shoot down. They can be brought down with anything from old AIM-7 missiles, Gepard anti-aircraft systems, Skynex systems, C-UAS, etc... Ukraine can protect their bases from Shaheds. They're not particularly worried about that. A Shahed-136 drone is 11 feet...

Jews is America are generally very successful. They take their education extremely importantly and they often get substantial support from their communities. As a result, they often do well financially and work their ways into positions of power throughout organizations. Good for them for...

It's this kind of delusion that infects the mind if people around the world. Do you know what's real? Bombs are real. Missiles are real. Military power is real. Sanctions are real. The will to exist and thrive in this world is real. Nobody gives a crap if a state is "legitimate" or not. Almost...

There will be tons of propaganda on both sides, as is the case in all wars. You can always assume that both sides are lying about, embellishing and downplaying things for their own gain. Neither Israel nor Hamas is immune to spreading bullshit lol.

They'll keep them based at more heavily defended aerodromes, well outside the range of Russian Lancets, which are rumoured to have a range of up to 70km now (which is an impressive upgrade). An F-16's range is 925km on one tank of fuel, without drop tanks. That range increases to over 1200km...

Not unless someone in the region gets the "smart" idea of shooting down a U.S. military tanker... Cooler heads prevailing in region is in the best interest if everyone. If people want to start supporting Palestine through military escalation, it will almost certainly bring American air and sea...

It will come. There are plenty of videos already circulating of Hamas infrastructure being bombed. Contrary to what many of the deeply partisan (in favour of Palestine / Hamas) posters in this thread are spewing (I'm not including you in that group), Israel isn't simply carpet bombing the city...
