  4. Israel tried to do that in 2006 and failed miserably. The militia group remained intact and only grew significantly stronger

  5. Iran was unstable and still fought off Iraq, which was supported by almost everyone at the time. Calling that a loss is misrepresentation of history and cheap bait at the best.

  6. Who started ww1? Who started ww2? Who did the Holocaust? Who started the Iraq war? Who started the Afghanistan War? Who started the Vietnam War? What happened to the native Indians in America? How did the British empire treat everyone? Was the British Empire Muslim? And the list goes on and on and on.

  7. The strike was surprisingly limited. This says Israel is still afraid of a real Iranian counterattack despite the 20-year gap in military superiority they enjoy. Maybe they're hoping Trump would win so they could launch an actual attack? Or maybe both the US and the region threatened Israel to not escalate. Neither side wants a real exchange of fire, so hopefully, this thing stops here. But you can't trust the Israelis on anything, so I doubt it.

  8. Your analysis is missing a major factor. After Russia invaded Ukraine, the severe sanctions forced Russia, Iran and North Korea to rapidly increase cooperation. All three are already under heavy sanctions and the West cant take anything more from them. Your analysis is based on information we already know from before the Russia-Ukraine war. For example, a few weeks ago Russian anti missile systems reportedly shot down several missile from Israel against targets in Syria. Such a thing would never have happened prior to Ukraine-Russia war. This implies severe heighted cooperation between Russia and its allies. We know very little of the current capabilities of Iran. Russia was always reluctant to support Iran to avoid sanctions. But now that Russia has been sanctioned to hell, it loses nothing by supporting Iran and only gains significantly. Iran will never provide support for free of course, so it's definitely getting something in return.

  9. US and Western support is a significant force multipler for Israel. Meaning both sides are equally matched in pure firepower potential. That's why neither side wants to escalate.

  11. By comparison, Egypt is also an incredibly powerful Military. It terms of raw power probably stronger than Israel itself. But Egypt is incredibly poor relative to its size. So it fields a very powerful but simpler military. This type of army isn't advanced, but isn't dependent on US mood to supply advanced munitions and technology. Having the most advanced air defense system in the world wont matter when thousands of cheap rockets and drones are aimed at it. Having the most advanced vehicles wont matter if the supplier wont give you the spare parts to continue operating it.

  12. Their faith teaches them to be kind and compassionate to those who don't harm them. These qualities are great in times of peace, but that means in times of war they will be easily defeated by bloodthirsty monsters who don't care about killing innocent people. Secondly, most of the countries that lost wars were 3rd world or developing countries with technologically inferior equipment and inexperienced armies while their opponents were superpowers or supported by superpowers. Except Afghanistan, that country somehow defeated two superpowers, USA and Soviet Union. I don't think there's a single modern Muslim country with a modern state of the art military has started or lost a war yet. Launching a war - no matter how just your cause is - almost always results in failure since the defender has significant advantage. Look at Israel-lebanon in 2006 and Hamas-Israel in 2024. In both cases Israel is having significant difficulty in winning and I think they lost the 2006 War. After the 1973 Egypt-Israel war, Israel made peace with Egypt because they knew they only won against Egypt because they have overwhelming technological superiority, but that would not last in the future. At the current trend, 25-50 years from now, the Muslim countries will be significantly more advanced with significantly more powerful and sophisticated weaponry and will have VAST armies. The ONLY thing that unites them is a shared hatred for Israel killing of innocent babies. Thats why Israel keeps seeking peace, otherwise 25-50 years in the future it might in a very bad position. If Israel established peace with everyone, then unity among the Arab and muslim community would be almost impossible and they would start fighting among themselves. E.g. (1977 Egypt-Libya war, ongoing Yemen Civil war etc) My view is Peace and diplomacy is the best option for everyone.

  13.  @SapphiR3_  The harsher the Iranian response, the more serious the damage Israel had inflicted. If Iran doesn't retaliate or limits it's response, then the Israel attack didn't do much.

  14. IDF is a very powerful military. That's an objective fact. Running such a technologically advanced military is very expensive and largely dependent on specialized imports overseas. Israel never fights alone. It's largely dependent on Western powers' support in every conflict it had. Satellites, intelligence, spare parts, munitions, etc. But there lies its greatest weakness. Such an advanced military is very expensive to maintain. Israeli society is overworked and overtaxed in order to maintain it. Just fighting an unarmed people (Palestinian) dropped its economy by 20%. Imagine what would happen if it got into a war with its northern neighbors?

  15.  @unrealuknow864  That's expected. Especially when the West and USA provide it with unlimited support. Plus they struck from outside of Iran territories from the maximum standoff distance. Israel itself has no counter measure against Irans missiles. If Iran attacks for real there will be serious damage. But then Israel will hit back for real and it will escalate into a regional war and no one wants to see that. Iran can easily absorb the damage and pain because they're not a nation of cowards and weaklings as the Iraq- Iran war showed. Can Israel though?

  17. Israelis were welcomed into Palestine after the Holocaust. Israelis returned the favour by making sure the Palestinians suffer as much as possible for the next 75 years. The problem is, after the UN gave a recommendation for a partition plan, alot of Palestinians were killed, burned alive, raped or forcefully displaced from their home where they lived in for generations. The 1948 Tantura massacre is only one example. The horror stories reached the neighboring Arab who invaded as a result. This was the Arabs introduction to Israel: bloodthirsty murders, thieves, rapists, invaders etc. While the West only saw them as victims of the great crime the Holocaust and supported Israel unconditionally. This started a revenge cycle of hatred. Both side wants to kill the other because the other side killed someone they knew. How did the Israel-Palestinian conflict start? It started by the violent and inorganic creation of Israel. Israel claims it wants peace, but all its peace agreements were forced upon it by the USA. Before the partition plan, the Jews were gradually buying up pieces of land to settle in Palestine until the UN intervened with its recommendation. If they continued to slowly buy up land until they had enough to form a new state, without having to resort to murder, raping, burning alive of the people already living there, would that have resulted in the Palestine-Israel conflict as we know it today? Probably not.

  18. Entire Arab world? Who did they fight besides poor undeveloped countries like Egypt, Syria, and Jordan that could barely read and write back then? That's like 3 poor countries. Take it from Israel's generals then. After the 1973 war, Israel realized they couldn't win forever at the rate Egypt's army was improving. That's why they sought peace with Egypt. Israel never fought a proper real army in its entire history. That's a simple fact.

  19. Compare the total terror, hate, and casualities caused by the elected leadership of non-muslim nations to the total terror, hate, and casualities caused by the radical extremists minorities in developing war-torn nations. The latter is a drop of water compared to the former, which is an ocean.

  20.  @GHOST_CROATIA  Those responsible for the greatest acts of terror and horror in the history of mankind shouldn't lecture anyone about morals.

  21.  @GHOST_CROATIA  Bombing or invading poor and developing countries tends to create extremism. What do you expect angry orphans to do if no one listens or gives them justice? It is easy for the gullible people to shift the blame. Rather than admit they are responsible for all these acts of extremism, they shift the blame on another culture.

  22. ​ @LassiseA Israel invaded first in 1947-1948 and ethically cleansed the people... that's why those armies attacked in response... Israel attacked in 1956... and lost Israel attacked in 1967 Israel lost in 1973 politically & strategically... Israel attacked in 1982 Israel attacked in 2006... and lost Israeli is losing in 2023-2024 in the greatest strategic failure in modern history...

  23.  @alonmarkovitz2898  Israel gained nothing after 1973 while Egypt regained the Sinai. Hence, Egypt eventually won the war while Israel won the battlefield. The reason for the peace deal was Israel realizing they couldn't guarantee victory in future wars based on the rate Egypt was improving. The US also saw a chance to destroy Soviet influence in the region. If Egypt wasn't ferocious in its fighting, Israel would have never agreed to give back the Sinai in the treaty. Israel achieved nothing in the 2006 war and therefore lost in the most embarrassing way possible. The "strongest army in the Middle East" against a bunch of mountain farmers.

  24. The analysis is based on warfare from 25 years ago and very surface level.

  25.  @incurableromantic4006  Israel is the largest US-European military base in the world. It's capabilities aren't surprising, it's just a reflection of USA and Europe's military capabilities.

  26.  @incurableromantic4006  Under every "made in Israel" sticker is an American or German flag. The rest is other European nations.

  28.  @incurableromantic4006  It's less a miracle nation and more like a welfare nation.

  29.  @tpespos  I disagree. It will definitely be within our lifetime. AI is learning at a frightening speed, and the growth is generally exponential. There was a nuclear arms race in the Cold War. We are currently in a silent AI arms race where everyone is rushing to weaponize it first.

  30. It's more of M.A.D. scenario. Irans attack showed Israel can't stop a serious missile attack from Iran. They'll run out of interceptors before Iran runs out of drones and missiles. And Iran knows that Israel is just an extension of the US army, and no one messes with the US without serious consequences.

  31.  @GHOST_CROATIA  The fact that an evil doesn't exist is proof that it exists?

  32. Psychological warfare affects morale on both sides. A demoralized enemy is weaker and less effective. This boosts your side and makes you more effective and brave. This isn't limited to Western propaganda. Every army does this in some shape or form.

  33.  @alonmarkovitz2898  But the cost to defeat Egypt was rising significantly in each conflict. Israel's military generals themselves concluded they couldn't guarantee future victories against Egypt. If you're talking about a war today, then no idea. Egypt is a very poor country, but they have immense manpower and firepower. And that's not accounting for things we haven't seen yet. No one can predict how a modern war would play out.

  34.  @yoyolebg3748  Just look at the long list of angry replies in the comments. The analysis he's giving is based warfare from 25 years ago. Today's wars have changed completely. This video is very surface level in terms of analysis.

  35. There are 1.9 billion Muslims alive. Why aren't there 1.9 billion incidents each day? Stop watching Fox News. Terrible people exist everywhere. Human nature will abuse anything to get what they want. This includes religion.

  36. ​​ @MovieRoundup1 They didn't achieve any of their objectives in 2006 despite using more firepower than the entire 1973 war and having full air superiority. Hezballah was left intact and only grew significantly stronger than before. They achieved nothing tactically nor strategically, quite the opposite. So it's accurate to call the 2006 a loss considering they're a regional superpower while their opponent were a weak radical militia with no airpower or support.

  38. To prove my point: Israel can never defeat Iran because they're terrified of Iran and their power.

  39.  @spinoraptorspinosaurus6969  Iran is allied with Pakistan, who is a nuke country and is no friend of Israel. Irans attack showed it can strike anywhere in Israel, provided it launches enough cheap decoys first to deplete Israel's defenses. Iran can tank several WMD hits and survive. Israel can't afford one.
    2
  40.  @spinoraptorspinosaurus6969  Irans strike showed it just needs to launch 300 cheap decoys to overwhelm Israeli defenses to allow between 14-40 missiles to penetrate the defenses. And that's with the whole world defending it. In an all-out war, if Iran launches 1200 cheap decoys, that's at least 56-160 guaranteed hits. Those decoys target military targets like iron dome, arrow systems, F35 airbase, radars, and so on. So Israel CANT afford to not strike them down. Israel will run out of interceptors before Iran runs out of missiles. Israel most advanced weaponary can't defend against this scenario at the moment.

  44. One thing is certain. If Israel has nukes, then someone in the region clearly has them in some way. Pakistan got its nukes because both India and Israel had or were assumed to have nukes.

  45. @joshuathompson3325  No, buddy. An Su57 stealth features being inadequate or failing and getting shot down in air is a very big deal. It calls into question the viability of the su57 itself. On the other hand, a parked plane getting hit by a drone? Not a big deal in comparison. Ukraine bypassing Russias defenses and targeting a serious warplane is itself a major accomplishment and a big deal, but that wasn't what I was talking about
    2
  46.  @joshuathompson3325  No, we are talking about two things. I was talking about how it doesn't count as a victory against the Su-57 since it was parked and not flying. On the other hand It definitely counts as victory against Russia since it was a strategic symbol of power, and Russia couldn't defend against the attack. If the Su57 was intercepted in the air, then it definitely counts as a victory against the plane itself.

  47.  @homebrandrules  Stop exaggerating? Israel fought 3 poor underdeveloped nations that could barely read and write, let alone lead an army. While Israel mainly had WWII veterans from Europe leading them. Where did the 300 million number come from?
    2
  48. ​ @alonmarkovitz2898 Egypt got WMDs as well. Using chemical or biological warheads that spray everywhere, even if intercepted, is one countermeasure they have. They can get nukes from others as well in case Israel uses its nukes. But in that scenario, all the neighbors would rush to get their own. Israel has always maintained it wasn't the first to introduce wmds in the region.

  49. ​ @alonmarkovitz2898 We're entering a repetitive argument at this point. Discussing pros and cons of armies can last weeks and rarely predicts how wars turn out (See Russia v Ukraine). My source on 1973 is from the documentaries and Israeli historians who were covering the war. I don't have anyone specific to quote.
    2
  50.  @alonmarkovitz2898  Obviously. But we're talking in terms of immediate retaliation of Israel uses it's nukes. They can launch the chemical/biological warheads in the hundreds, if not thousands. Even if intercepted, the clouds would still blow into Israel. Afterward, they'd get nukes from sympathetic countries (Pakistan) to enable a proper response. Assuming they haven't already secretly procured warheads from them.
