  2.  @ScabbyP  DNA wise the Palestinians have been present in Israel since before it existed. About 50-70% of their DNA is Canaanite DNA. The only people with a greater number are the Druze.

  3. Wait, the Houthi's have been shooting at commercial shipping as well as US Navy ships since November, and a US strike 2 months after the shooting starts is "Pre-emptive"????

  5. Preston, the Ukrainians have been asking for jets since day 1 because their Air Force was out numbered 10-1. They had 3-4 pilots for every flyable airframe. The west did not even want to send MiG-29's to replace those that had been shot down. Its now 2 years and the USAF is talking about sending A-10's and F-16's to the boneyard to save money for F-35 procurement. If instead of scraping those F-16's the US makes them available to the Ukrainians, the Ukrainian AF would be up to pre-war strength within a year.

  7. @Weedle-vr1hr  they bombed a refugee camp, then they bombed it a 2nd time, then they bombed a 2nd refugee camp. There a reason why at one point Israel's only friend was the Apartheid Government of South Africa.

  9. @RAMBLINMAN103  Finland, Latvia, Lithuania and Estonia are all on the border of Russia, the later 3 were all part of the USSR and like Ukraine refused to join Russia when the USSR fell. And they are part of NATO with Finland joining NATO because Russia invaded Ukraine. Oh and all 4 are providing Ukraine with aid that relative to their GDP is far greater than what the US gives. One of them has given the equivalent of 50% of its defense budget.

  11. FAB's??? they've been using FAB's since WW2. they've had guided bomb kits for over a decade and they are not that long ranged. The only reason they are of any effect is the shortage of long range SAM's.

  12. ​ @afcgeo882 the Palestinians brought in more than weapons through the Egyptian border. But it's just your ignorance (willfully ignoring) of the fact that the israeli rejected large portions of what was being brought in. Things like refrigerators, regardless cement, animal feed, insulin, pregnancy kits

  13. Re Storm shadow being adapted for use by Ukrainian Air Force Why not? They are at war, they will/have found a way. They did it with the AGM-88. They could just make the mounting adaptor, wire it for power, pre-program the missile before launch then have the SU-24 or SU-27 carry it to launch coordinates, pop up, release and the plane split-S's back to the deck and runs for home while the little winged death goes on it's way to deliver it's badaboom.

  25.  @doctorjivago5081  You can have a 1,000,000kg FAB, the bigger the bomb the closer the plane has to be to be able to drop it. The distance is dependent on altitude and speed of the aircraft and the outer range is about 40km The higher the altitude of the aircraft the earlier it can be detected, at 40,000ft a MiG sized aircraft can be detected at over 250 nautical miles. The faster the aircraft flies the further out a SAM can hit it.

  28. ​@Sceptre1-1 normally when attacking a defended strong point the attacker needs a 3 or 5 to 1 advantage. The Ukrainians are attacking with a 1-1 ratio though open fields with a minefields that are 3-5 times larger than normal, defended by 3-4 ATGM positions 1-2 tanks, infantry and artillery. Against this the Ukrainians are still pushing forward

  29. There were exactly 2,485 hospital beds in Gaza distributed among 30 hospitals. That's 1 bed for 804 people Or 1.8 beds per 1,000 people, Israel has 3.8 beds per 1,000 people. Oh and out of 39 hospitals in Gaza, only 14 are still functional

  31. The Russians have demonstrated that the have a 2 day delay time between discovery and missile launch. On top of that the US has been able to warn Ukrainians as soon as the launch platforms are wheels up. So by the time they get to their launch points, the ukrainian planes are airborne

  34.  @MeshuggahforGod  The average Ukrainian soldier is 43, not 40. The average Russian soldier in Ukraine is 40yrs old. This is because Ukraine's conscription age was 25 with exceptions for college students and men who are single parents. In comparison the US conscription age is 18 with the infantry being 22 years old

  40.  @FoogleBoogle  Reading the economic data. And yes I bought stuff and services. I also pay attention to how large companies are raising prices far above inflation. The record profits they are making which they use to pump up their stock prices, pay dividends and executive bonuses all the while complaining that the increasing employee pay that is being demanded of them is a threat to the company's profits or even it's existence. No much of the price increases are not because of inflation but rather corporate greed.

  41. Europe provides about 75% of the munitions that Ukraine has been receiving. The problem is that the scheduled increases munition production is behind schedule because the governments don't own the munition plants.

The manufacturer is building and 5 new batteries for the AFU and expects to deliver the 1st this year and the 5th by 2025. As to the HIMARs, 1 was destroyed 2 damaged Ammo dumps don't move.

  49.  @bksvdb  they are tight with the leadership of most of those countries; nor so much the Gen population. In Saudi Arabia only 5% of the population below the age of 35 support the king's normalization of relations with Israel. 63% of the population is below 30. Which means the majority of Saudis are oppose to friendly relationship with Israel

  54. They were ordered south. Since then they have been ordered even further south away from the cities, hospitals aid and shelter. At the same time Israeli government and members of parliament are proposing to annex Gaza and expell the Gazans to Egypt and to annex 60% of the west bank ti be given to Jewish settlers.

  55. It's a political football used to score points and as a weapon in domestic politics. The republican house tied aid to Israel to defending the IRS In order to balance the budget. In reality it's a triple drain and will balloon the budget deficit more than if they had passed aid to Israel and Ukraine and doubled the amount

  56.  @Speedbird61  Trump re-imposed restrictions on ATCAMS and other US weapons from being used against Russian targets inside Russia, once again, Russia can mass it's army and aircraft in close range to Ukrainian forces in safety. Literally on the border of Ukraine, 70 miles from Kyiv

  58. @bruceyawen6160  Ukrainians have been working in the EU for years. They tend to work abroad, send money to their old folks. Russia has had the same issue.

  62. @Damuworld  he seems to have forgotten that during the Revolutionary War, Ben Franklin was in Europe begging for money, weapons and munitions for Washington's Army. And that the French not only sent aid, but had the French Navy deliver it and later transported Washington's troops to get around the British Troops.

  68. Report indicates one was wounded, wounded + hospital, i wonder why they would be at a hospital. BTW in the US a cop was fired for arresting a nurse who refused to allow the detective to take a blood sample without the patient's authorization. So if you think that being an undercover police operation gives them more leeway, it doesn't. That they are in the hospital in disguise emphasizes that they were not inside their jurisdiction as the correct approach would have been to contact the Palestinian Authority, but then that would violate the standing IDF/Israeli policy of de-legitimizing the Palestinian Authority at every opportunity.

  69. Re the requirement to certify that weapons provided to the country be used in accordance to international law. The US demanded this same thing when it provided aid to Ukraine and it was and is fighting an organized military that had 5 times the artillery, aircraft than Ukraine did. Here's a simple one. Don't use unguided 2,000lb bomb in a civilian area. Remind me, how many times did USAF/USMC/USN aircraft abort bombing runs to avoid civilian casualties? How often did they opt to use 20mm instead of the 500lb bomb because of the potential of killing civilians? So no, I don't accept that the IDF can't guarantee that it will use them in accordance to international law.

  79.  @RetreatHell  the FAB-500 with the glide kit when carried by an SU-35, flying at 10km at a speed of 15,000kph can go 40 miles. So that SU is in full burner for a very long time just to get to that speed and altitude. It can be seen by a ground based radar from 500 miles away Heavier bombs have shorter ranges, slower planes and lower altitudes lower the range.
    2
  80.  @RetreatHell  The US equivalent is the USN/USMC/USAF AGM-154 Joint Standoff Weapon which with a high altitude release can reach 70 miles. It's cleared for the F-16, F-15E, F/A-18, F-35, B-1, B-2, B-52 and JAS-39.
    2
  81.  @RetreatHell  a GPS jammer would create a larger CEP. A better counter is to put a Patriot launcher 35-45km behind the target area. A Hawk would also work but the range is less and would put the SAM inside the target area

  89.  @HDracer  if you are referring to the DNA studies, unfortunately it's true. The Palestinians and the Israelis both go back to the Canaanites and the group with the most Canaanites DNA markers are the Druze, followed by the Sabra or Israelis who stayed on the land, and the Palestinians, then the Bedouin followed by the Ashkenazi who are more European 55-60% than Israeli.

  93.  @joeh8122  They are using old missiles, we know that as much as 10% of them have either manufacturing defects in their fuel cells or rocket motors or fuel that's gone bad. In the case of the North Korean artillery, most of them seem to not have the required propellant charge. So when they fire them, they fall short and never reach their targets in Ukraine falling behind Russian lines instead.

CNN got hold of the rejection documents and opened the boxes of the banned items. Among them anesthetics and anesthesia machines, oxygen cylinders, ventilators and water filtration systems, toys because they were in a wooden box rather than a cardboard box, sleeping bags were denied because they had zippers, and sanitary pads were turned back because a nail clipper was included in the hygiene kit, maternity kits. If a truck was found with just one of these, the entire truck is sent back to be inspected and approved and it can take a month before it can begin another attempt to be delivered.

Tell me what has Saudi Arabian government and news said about Jamal Khashoggi's murder and dismemberment in the Saudi Embassy? As far as the IDF reporting, the very earliest confirmed lie I found goes back to 1949 when the Israeli pilot, an experienced WW2 pilot, claimed that he had positively identified the aircraft he shot down as an 4 engine twin rudder Egyptian Lancaster bomber, when the plane that he actually shot down was a twin engine single rudder RAF Mosquito reconnaissance aircraft.

And most of those platforms can't break mach 1 with the FAB with glide and guidance kit, this reduces the bomb's range They also are limited in altitude, this too limits it's range. With a max range of around 40km, there are a few long range SAM systems that can pick off the launch aircraft before they can release the bomb

The USAF wants to retire more F-16's and A-10's than it is receiving F-35A's and the F-35A pilots who are transitioning from A-10's will receive zero Close Air Support Training hours. The US Navy has been asking to reduce it's carrier fleet to 10 carriers when it's already below it's 12 carrier minimum. At least it's Naval Aviation is catching on and has ordered 17 new F/A-18E/F block 3's as it's FA-XX program is delayed. We are not building new M1 tanks, all of the new M1A2's are remanufactured tanks from stored M1A's

The US added laser guidance in the 60's, then IR and GPS in the 80's and 1990's. there is even a version that was introduced in the 2000's that when dropped by an aircraft glides while broadcasting false radar returns of dozens of aircraft or cruise missiles.

  203. The War Powers Act give the President full authorization for military operations. He has a free hand for 60 days and another 30 days to withdraw unless authorized by Congress. So Biden can order military strikes against the Houthi's until 3/11/2024 then order the Navy to move to the Indian Ocean to refit and replenish at Diego Garcia before sending them back to the coast of northern Yemen to take up arms interdiction. Then on 4/12/2024 he can order the Navy to resume military operations against the Houthis. Also Congress in 2023 re-authorized the Global War on Terror. This means President Biden can continue operations until he feels that the threat from the Houthis is over.

  274. John Spencer apparently does not read the data. Israel's civilian to combatant kill ratio is 2 civilians per combatant killed, and its consistent with the pre 10/07/23 numbers. Compare to the US ratio of 2.8 to 7 in Afghanistan.

  275. The US fought an urban war, care to compare? 2nd battle of Fallujah, 1 month 2 weeks and 2 days 10,500 US troops, 2,000 Iraqi and 850 Brits vs 3,000-4,000 hostiles. 95 US KIA, 1,500-2,000 Iraqi combatants KIA, 670-800 civilians killed.

  277.  @Spectre4490  You don't mobilize police because doing so makes destroys the ability to maintain law and order. Also the US had a conscript army, it just moved a volunteer professional army because the Vietnam war was so unpopular domestically that they hoped to control the loss of support by ending conscription.

  278. @dbri306  when your own soldiers say they are civilians, when they are too small to walk, when you had F@#%& VIDEO OF THE KIDS PLAYING WHEN IDF BULLETS RIP THEM APART. When they are pedestrians waiting at a bus stop, whe the home you bombed had 6 people in it and there are 2 kids and 2 generations of adults. Spare me the how do you know bull S. We've had 20 years of fighting insurgents, we learned. And it's not like the IDF does not have a digital photo of every single Palestinian in the West Bank and Gaza. Enough westet reporters have lived in both long enough to document how the Plestinians are treated. Even when they know they are being filmed the casual contempt and discrimination is on full display.

  279. ​ @SomeoneFromBeijing  The fact that since 2005 24 Palestinian civilians are killed by the IDF for every IDF soldier killed is proof that peace between Israel and the Palestinians was never the goal

  281.  @stevepaul2353  Russia is into it's 3rd year of a war that was supposed to last a few days, a few weeks at most. Against a nation 1/5 it's size, one with less than 200 flyable combat aircraft. And despite "rapidly advancing" on all fronts, controls less today than it did one month into it's 2022 invasion. How many troops did America lose fighting the 4th or 5th ranked army in the world? Against an army with 16,000 SAMs, 7,000 antiaircraft guns, 5,000 tanks and 755 combat aircraft. The US lost less than 300 men and women, less than 80 aircraft, less than 80 armored vehicles? In the same time frame Russia lost over 800 tanks 1,440 KIA/WIA

  292. The war has been going on for 70 years and from 1/01/2008 to 1/18/2024 4,174 Palestinian civilians have been killed by IDF and Israeli Settlers and 157,773 wounded with an estimated 119,815 of them being civilians Conversely 185 Israeli Civilians 134 Military personnel were killed, 1,112 Israeli soldiers and 4,807 civilians were wounded. That's 22 Palestinian civilians killed by the IDF and Settlers for every Israeli killed by the Palestinians Your view may be right for you, but as an American whose government supports Israel, I see this number and I wonder who the bad guys really are.

  302. If you look up the "failed " Ukrainian 2023 offensive, they got 0.85% of the country back from Russia. The Russian 10 2023 to 03 20244 offensive got 0.03% of Ukraine. At that rate on a yearly basis Russia is looking at a net loss.

  308. Depends on the US president. It took decades. Russia paid a single partial payment for the lend lease it got, then refused to pay a single dime saying they had already paid in blood. Then, they demanded favored nation trading status and other concessions before paying the rest of the already deeply discounted aid.

  320. @deanwilliams433  the Russians have been trying to hit the Ukrainian AF Su-24's with cruise missiles, and islander and their hypersonic air launched mach 2.4 ballistic missiles. So far total of zero kills since march 2023. By the time the missiles drop from their launch platforms, the Ukrainian planes were in the air headed for a new base and the only thing the Russians hit were empty tarmac or the occasional plane that was down for maintenance.

  321. @krc306  the US just finished the longest war they've fought. They are currently re-structuring from a counter insurgency footing to a more peer nation conflict. Thus lots of new F-35's, new 6th Gen fighters, the B-21, new generation of aircraft carriers frigates. New light tank and new M1 tank. Autonomous wingmen. Doubled munition production
