It doesn't seem as if this is a full fledged ground invasion yet. It seems like there were attempted negotiations but one (or both) sides didn't find the terms acceptable, so Israel's keeping on with the bombing campaign and starting to trickle armored elements into some areas of Northeastern Gaza.

Lol in the Yom Kippur war they were suprise attacked by a coalition of neighboring countries, aided by multiple expeditionary forces, helped financed by funding across the region. The opposing armies outnumbered the Israeli military substantially and attacked them on a holiday. Not only did they...

Germany 🇩🇪 has announced a new military aid package for Ukraine. The package will include the following... - 1 additional IRIS-T SLM air defense system - TRML-4D RADAR - 4 HX81 Tank Tractors and trailers - IRIS-T air defense missiles - 4 Additional APCS (like Dingo) - 8 Additional Vector...

The EU has agreed to transfer all interest collected on the $180 Billion worth of frozen Russian assets it has in its possession, to Ukraine. In 2023 alone those assets (largely investments) are set to produce $4 billion worth of interest. That $4 billion will be transferred to Ukraine for...

The U.S. is fine. All they have to do is play the role of "bouncer" for Israel and ensure that no other conventional military joins the conflict. They're going to pass a $14.8 billion usd emergency military aid bill for Israel, which, of course, is pennies for them overall when we're talking...

A very small "warning" strike by the U.S. of course, who has a full stockpile of air and sea launched precision munitions available to them, due to the fact that they've given almost no weapons of those categories to Ukraine in their defense against Russia. They'll give the Iranians every...

Quite possible. I'm not going to deny it without any evidence, but I'm also not going to simply believe it because Hamas said it and provided no video evidence to support it. They also said (through the Gaza health ministry) that 500 people were killed in the hospital attack. It appears that...

I mean... They were teamed up against and attacked by a multi-national, surprise force that significantly outnumbered them militarily in 1973... And they systematically kicked in the teeth of their attackers in so substantially that the war was over in less than three weeks, with the attackers...

Any video / photo evidence of the captured soldiers that you can share?

Civilians always seem to get the worst end of these conflicts. I hope they went quickly and without pain and fear.

New Denmark 🇩🇰 aid package for Ukraine in the amount of $500 million usd. Some of the items have been previous hinted towards, but they are now official. Note that the T-72EA MBTs and the BMP-2 IFVs are coming from Czech inventories and Denmark is paying for their refurbishment in the Czech...

New USA 🇺🇸 defense package for Ukraine in the amount of $150 million usd. The package includes the following... - AIM-120 missiles for NASAMS - AIM-9M air defense missiles - GMLRS for HIMARS - 155mm artillery shells - 105mm artillery shells - Javelin anti-armor systems - Stinger air defense...

I said it before and I'll say it again. You got your teeth kicked in by a superior military force, who took those lands from you as a war bounty, when your ancestors chose the wrong side of a conflict. You could have (and still can) go to war with Israel and her allies to take those lands back...

So let's war game what we think happens in the short term if Iranian backed proxies officially join the war and open another substantial front against Israel. Here is my perspective... 1. Rocket barrages into Israel, largely from Lebanon, are intense and lead to significant Israeli casualties...

Good strike, but that's why Ukraine needs an influx of Switchblade 600 drones. There would be only pieces of Russian infantry left and the vehicles would be fully irreparable. I've been disappointed in the pace at which Aerovironment has introduced the 600 model to the battlefield in Ukraine...

Closing the Straits would be bad news for Iran, even if it were done via proxy. I don't think their Chinese friends would let that happen, nor would the Saudis, Indians, Indonesians, Japanese, Australians etc, etc. The Straits being closed would be catastrophic for the economies of the emerging...

Without conscription there is no way that the Allies win WWII... I'm more than ok with Hitler, Mussolini and the Japanese being defeated by armies largely made up of conscripts. Sometimes what is neccessary, isn't always "nice".

I fully concede that a day might come that we're (the collective west) at war with Indonesia and I can't say that I'm looking forward to it. Sounds like a lot of dead people on both sides of a possible war. But in that scenario, I expect both sides to use whatever tactics neccessary to win. If...

Then regional players need to step up and stop them. Have values, believe in them and be ready to die for them. I actually agree that it won't likely end well for them, but they're an independent country, with their own choices to make. They can choose to make peace with their neighbours, or...

I watched this interview the other day. I genuinely appreciated Youssef's dark humor throughout the interview. It's not surprising given that he is actually a professional comedian and a legitimately funny guy! His countrymen, the Egyptians teamed up with Syria and several expeditionary forces...
