Hamas knows time is on their side, they can tolerate massive israeli counter attacks for now because it will be for naught in the future

“Then why wouldn’t Hamas just pour themselves some umbrella drinks and watch the sun set over the Mediterranean Sea for the next 30 years?”

Multiple factions surrounding Israel want a piece of the pie, Hamas wants the people in the region to follow them so you gotta show and act tough to get the plebs on your team

“ If they do level Gaza then that could provoke something bigger?”

There is also a corollary: The only way Gaza can survive Israeli action is if they turn this into a much bigger war on many fronts. Otherwise, everyone in Gaza is as good as dead and Gaza won’t survive as an enclave.

Dougie hasn’t thought this through.

From what I have been seeing, the Palis have created new enemies from former allies.

Why didn’t Hamas simply wait for the Jews to die from their shots and then just walk in?

When Trump was President of the USA there was peace and prosperity.

A lot of people on both sides “haven’t thought about this” sufficiently, and where it all could go.

But Americans will get to pay for all of it - financing both sides - bet on that much.

Doug Macgregor or Scott Ritter-which one would u prefer to be with in a foxhole with in the dark?

Since I know neither of them personally, my overwhelming choice would be you.....Do you like to cuddle?

I used to have much more respect for Macgregor’s take on events. But he has been wrong - spectacularly so - on the Russia - Ukraine war.

I’d reach what he has to say with a very critical eye.
