A-huh.
The political organization remains intact.
So the war is a strategic failure for Israel.
But hardspunned claimed over 60,000 dead women and children, if recollection serves.
Are you saying hardspunned is a liar?
Agreed. Israel should have hit HARDER!
12% of Germans died in WWII when they unconditionally surrendered. That seems to have worked.
Fewer than 2% of gazans have died in this “genocide”, and it’ll be a strategic loss, with hamass back to terror invasions in about 20 years.
Should have hit them HARDER!
It would have been much easier for Israel if they really didn’t care about civilian lives.
Correction: ABOUT 2% of gazans
Correct. I don't know what's holding them back.
They may be dependent on ammo shipments from the U.S.
If so, that's their Achilles' heel.
War is brutal. You do it so you don't fight again.
The goal should be to replace Hamas as a "governing authority" in Gaza.
I don't have the answers.
And, more effective in the long run.
With this weak outcome, arabs will take this as a Win, and be back for more.
They’re working on ammo independence. For example, they are starting to build their own bunker busters, the type *resident Bidet held up.
I think I read along the way that they have their own 155mm production capabilities, which are key in this ammo starved world.
“Israel 155mm Production Capability
Israel has a robust capability to produce 155mm artillery shells, primarily through Elbit Systems, a major Israeli defense contractor.”
For their own sake, they'll need to do that.
Just imagine four years from now if we elect AOC as our POTUS.
Jews value life. Including the lives of their enemies. It is their Achilles heel. The mudslimes who do not value life continuously use that difference as a wedge to make Jews lose wars. Israel has to toughen up and fight wars on arab terms: total abject destruction and massive loss of life until the entire and every last remaining inhabitant sues for permanent peace.
Until then, they are always back for more.
Don’t forget arms deals between Israel and India. India buys a lot of Israeli weapons but now coming on are India-produced weapons to Israel to lessen dependence on USA.
If they do that, they'll end up isolated and at this moment they're not quite self-sufficient.
Yup. Both not quite the right independent position, and too nicey nicey.
