Ideally you either convince them to vote the way you want to, or you deny them the ability to do anything meaningful.

@rcomid I promise you that all the Palestinians support all of the militant groups and hate Israel. The only difference is their level of involvement in it.

@3:50 If the troops are getting "trigger happy" its a sign they needed to be rotated out of the fight. @6:00 Its sad Al Jazzera totally rolled over and became an outlet for Palestinian propaganda. They are fanning the hate in the Arab world for clicks and profit. Speaking of... @10:30 That footage of the hill top soldier is very sus. The body was propped up against a chair, with the hands stuck to the rifle in a very unnatural way. And the uniform and gear looks new and and like a bad repro. Even where the rank tab should be is just a star of david.

Yeah I read that novel to.
1
That old guy was pissed. @5:00 "Some dumbasses say it so it must be true" Yeah no. Thats the same old propaganda. The same people who hate us for being allies of Israel now, have hated us for decades. They would attack us if they had the chance no more today than they would yesterday.

@12:02 No worse that launching a fire extinguisher filled with C4.

@wedgeantilles8575 That is false. Most of the defense production capacity of West was atrophied, shut-in, or completely gone. Because everyone assumed Russia wouldn't be stupid barbarians any more. It takes times to reconstitute that capacity. Even they US has had trouble ramping up production. Rheinmetal did not "not produce ammo", they just did not produce the level promised. However, Germany did provide from existing stocks.

christopherl4249 So you believe the numbers the Russians make up, that talking heads guess at, but not the Ukraine numbers as long as they look like doom and gloom for them? Kinda shows which side your bread is buttered...

@6:30 Can you literally see the Iranian strings on that guy? lol @8:00 Its got "TORPEDO" written in big english letters, that makes it totally legit.

'Most Destructive in Recent History' Yeah, that is BS. This is one small city. You don't even have to go into "recent history". Russia has indiscriminately (for real) and for no practical military reason, destroyed many cities and towns in Ukraine for 2 years now. Upwards of 50,000 civilian deaths. Where is the outrage? This response is really to culmination of years of provocation by Palestinians, not just Oct 7th. Considering Iranian action and support led directly to the current situation in Gaza, they really have no right to complain, unless... oh yeah. Their team is getting its ass kicked. So I guess whine on. Likewise the Taliban is just jumping on the bandwagon to get some #Metoo points.

"From River to the Sea" is an allusion to "drive the Joos into the sea" and destroying Israel. Also there are lots of bots spamming pro-Palestine sayings and posts across all of SM. You can see some in these comments. That is why they are being taken down.
1
@donjowansafadi8739 Somehow I doubt Palestinians, Arab-Nationalists, and random other anti-Semites are quoting Israeli political slogans. And if you are mindlessly spamming Palestinian propaganda, you are just an inefficient bot.

@killworgmr6200 Wrong. Go look up "Expenditure Multiplier Effect". That money is spent on contractors to provide everything from aircraft carriers to toilet paper. It is spent on salaries and veterans benefits and education. And it goes back into the economy.
1
I wonder how many of those Belarussian soldiers being trained by Wagner are going to happen to wind up taking contracts with Wagner when its been reconstituted enough to head back to Ukraine ...
1
@chadhaire1711 Russian plans for the "special military operation" were for the assault phase to only last 2 weeks. Even pro-Russian sites say this.
1
The tanks and even the Eitan 8x8 APC are pretty much immune to most ATGMs, especially what looks like an old Kornet. The Jeep was a "good" choice, besides the sure casualties, it probably had high value targets on it.
1
@GabeGinorio Not really. Hamas et al. aren't a legal government or military organization and it does not adhere to the Geneva Conventions (unless it benefits from them). So anything it does is illegal and any one it seizes is a kidnapping and hostage taking regardless of their Geneva status.
1
The Saudi Red Sea coast line is huge. They don't have the capability to do anything to intercept anything overflying their territory. Probably not even over Mecca. The Saudis don't want to be seen as siding with Israel on this, even though its all coming from their own rival/enemy Iran.
1
@8:50 "If AL Shibab can overrun the Somali army" AFRICOM won't let that happen. It can't decisively destroy it, because it is driven by Islamists, but it can keep it suppressed as a low level nuisance insurgent group.
1
I'm sure almost all of it was dug by a bunch of dudes with shovels. Its all just compacted sand. Totally no need for a TBD.

They fuked around and found out.
1
Not a "substantial number", all of them. Its a tenet of Islam. The Arabs and Palestinians do not want to take in the refugees because having them in the territories gives them a stake and holds the ground. It keeps the conflict alive and unsettled. It keeps the money and military support flowing in to the heads of the strongest militias. The civilians, their people, are nothing but pawns in the power game they are playing.
1
@Men55578 That is naive AF. And you don't know your history other than what you've been spoon fed by Arab propaganda. For 70 years all they had to do is stop trying to "throw the Jews into the sea", and they would have had their own country or been part of Israel. They haven't been in camps for "75 years". They got pushed there after the war of attrition in the 70s., when the PLO got tricked by the Egyptians into conducting guerrilla war against mostly Jewish citizens. At this point, nothing short of dissolving Israel would make them happy. Peace would only let them rebuild an army to attack again.
1
Syria is Iran's bitch. Its a completely failed state. Pretty much a free fire zone for anyone with an interest in the region from the US and Russia, to Iran, Turkey, etc.
1
It was never "just a war between Israel and Hamas". Iran has been pulling these strings for decades. There has been a steady drum beat of violence between and amid the various factions in the ME, that only occasionally flares up like in Oct. 7 or the fight between Israel and Hezbollah in S. Lebanon a few years ago.
1
@8:00 "If Hamas survives" is irrelevant. What Israel is doing is "building deterrence". They are making the consequences of attacking Israel so terrible and costly that they won't try it again. Even if Hamas "surrenders", another group, probably with the same actors, will rise up again. Any agreements won't be worth the paper they are printed on. The cultural/political conditions in Palestine (or Israel) have not changed. They are in a deadlock of hate and violence cycles.
1
The difference is scale and leverage. Israel has a track record of not doing what the US has publicly stated its goals are. Israel has a strong lobby in DC. The Militias and I guess the whole state of Yemen now, are completely beholden to Iran, not only for support but for literal survival. Besides just leaving them out in the cold against enemies, each one has competitors that Iran could switch to and turn on. That means these groups don't even fart unless Tehran says they can.
1
Hamas' goal isn't to win the war. Its goal is to perpetuate it. Their leadership derives their power and foreign support ($) from maintaining the conflict with Israel. If they reached a peaceful settlement, they would be out of a job.

@Red-Check-Mark Ukraine has lost the war? Maybe you should get your fact check checked.
1
@Red-Check-Mark Did they tell you to think that?
1
@docf3605 They also aren't losing it either. Remember back in Feb of last year when Ukraine wasn't even supposed to last 2 weeks? That in and of itself is a win and at least Ukraine has won its continued independence.
1
@docf3605 That is pretty much false and wishful thinking on about every part. The rest of the world has many more billions than Russia, Ukraine has proven that it has the will to resist, much more will than Russians. Putin has pretty much guaranteed that Ukraine will never be in Russia's sphere of influence because they now hate Russians. Membership in NATO and the EU is inevitable.
1
@Red-Check-Mark False. Ukraine had a plan for conducting an insurgency if defeated conventionally. The supply of Western AT weapons (Javelins and NLAWs) made the news but far more kills were done with domestic Stugna-P ATGMs.. And Western support didn't arrive until until after the initial invasion had been blunted. Russia failed because of their incompetence and assumption that the Ukrainians would just give up as in 2014.
1
In WWII it was well understood that enlisting or being drafted was for "the duration of the conflict." Its strange to think any one in Ukraine was under any illusion that they could serve for a while and then just go home. But I get that those guys who have been on the front line might be wondering where those guys hangout on the block or in Europe are. But any population only has so many "patriots" or "heros" (ie people that do the right thing expected of them) , and even in wars of survival you will have cowards and shirkers. Almost every country has had to conscript armies in times of war. I am surprised that this is even a debate. Its like yep, get your ass moving.

@aymenyahyaoui1771 Yemen didn't defeat anyone, its just not worth anything.

@heraclesreborn lol.

Ball and Enjeti left The Hill, the The Hill didn't leave them. They are projecting the same GOP talking points, ie; any Biden policy is the wrong policy.
