Joe seems only so happy to start wars. He just has no clue how to end them.

Democrat Joe Biden doesn’t WANT to end wars.

The Military Industrial Complex makes a lot of money during Forever War.

Saw this tidbit in another article:

Within the last hours Reuters has reported that Supreme Leader Ayatollah Ali Khamenei has been “transferred to a secure location inside the country with heightened security measures in place,” according to Iranian security officials.


Seems like someone is really, really scared.

Yeah.

In order to follow the headline, we'd have to take out almost the entire democrat party.

It takes a democrat to lose a war that’s already won.

“Rather, it means killing your enemies, above all those who advocate and embody the causes that inspire others to exhaust their murderous energies against you. Thus, killing Nasrallah was essential.

“Taking down officers demoralizes a force. Wiping out its chain of command cripples it.”

__________

The sentiments expressed here are too broad.

Hillary Clinton for example would seemingly leap apply them to a certain individual who is risking his life daily to make America great again. That wouldn’t be justified.

Putin also might apply them to Zelenskyy. That too wouldn’t be justified. Neither would it be justified for Zelenskyy to apply them to Putin.

So the sentiments need somehow to be narrowed lest they be hijacked by evil people against the good.

Not sure how that should be done. But it should be done. Is the author being deliberately loose with language?

Summary paragraph:

"Wars are won by killing the enemy, above all, those who inspire their people to kill yours. Killing Nasrallah not only anchors Israel’s victory in Lebanon but reestablishes the old paradigm for any Western leaders who take seriously their duty to protect their countrymen and civilization: Kill your enemies."

Israel shows America how to win wars b/c Israel has US munitions
and weaponry to destroy whomever it wants entirely on its own.

References

Biden’s 2023 US arms handout to Israel immediately after the Oct 7, 2023 attack:
<><>57,000 155mm artillery shells
<><>more than 5,000 Mk82 unguided or “dumb” bombs,
<><>more than 5,400 Mk84 2,000 pound warhead bombs,
<><>around 1,000 GBU-39 small diameter bombs,
<><>approximately 3,000 JDAMs, which turn unguided bombs into guided “smart” bombs,
<><>BLU-109 bunker busters w/ 2,000 pound warheads designed to penetrate concrete shelters.

On March 30, 2024 Joe Biden secretly authorized billions of dollars in new bombs and fighter jets for Israel, despite US officials publicly expressing worry over mounting Palestinian death toll in Tel Aviv’s brutal war on besieged Gaza.

The arms approved this week by the US president include deadly 1,800 MK84 2,000-pound bombs and 500 MK82 500-pound bombs, anonymous State and Defense Department officials told the Washington Post.

The State Department last week approved the transfer of 25 F-35A fighter jets and engines, a US official added. The planes and engines are estimated to be worth around $2.5 billion.

There are no corresponding announcements on the Defense Security Cooperation Agency’s website where such notifications are normally posted.

On Friday, Senator Bernie Sanders criticised Biden administration’s approval of sending more weapons to Israel. “The US cannot beg Netanyahu to stop bombing civilians one day and the next send him thousands more 2,000 lb. bombs that can level entire city blocks. This is obscene,” Sanders said on X, sharing the report of Washington Post. “We must end our complicity: No more bombs to Israel,” Sanders reiterated.

Biden also recently gave Israel an extra $billion tax dollars but its not clear why.....seems like Biden cant help himself from putting America last.

There’s Obama’s $38 billion deal that covers fiscal years 2019-2028 that includes:
<><>-annual US payments to Israel of $3.3 billion in “military financing,”
<><>-$500 million a year for Israel’s missile defense operations in the Negev, a foreign aid first,
<><>-A phasing-out of Israel’s decades-long “special arrangement”
<><>ie. Israel used 26.3% of US aid on its own global defense industry (not on US-made weapons).
<><>-Eliminates Israel using some 13% of US aid to buy military fuel.
<><>-will allow Israel to update “the lion’s share” of its fighter aircraft,
<><>includes purchasing additional F-35 Joint Strike Fighters.
<><>Israel is to initially receive thirty-three F-35 aircraft,
<><>the first two F-35’s will be delivered in December.

The (a) weaponry build-up from Obama 2018 into 2028, (b) follows the $30 billion weaponry deal Israel signed in 2007, which expires at the end of fiscal 2018, and (c) a systematic buildup of Israeli arms, like this one in 2015.

ISRAEL – JOINT DIRECT ATTACK MUNITION TAIL KITS AND MUNITIONS
Defense Security Cooperation Agency
Media/Public Contact
pm-cpa@state.gov
Transmittal No 15-36

WASHINGTON, May 19, 2015
As required by US law, the Defense Security Cooperation Agency delivered the required certification notifying Congress of this possible sale to Israel on May 18, 2015: Joint Direct Attack Munition Tail Kits, munitions, and associated equipment, parts and logistical support for an estimated cost of $1.879 billion.

The Government of Israel has requested:
<><>14,500 KMU-556C/B Joint Direct Attack Munitions (JDAM) tail kits
<><>consisting of 10,000 for Mk-84;
<><>500 for Mk-83;
<><>and,4,000 for Mk-82;
<><>3,500 Mk-82 bombs; 4,500 Mk-83 bombs;
<><>50 BLU-113 bombs;
<><>4,100 GBU-39 Small Diameter bombs;
<><>1,500 Mk-83 Paveway kits;
<><>700 BLU-109 Paveway kits;
<><>3,000 AGM-114K/R Hellfire Missiles,
<><>250 AIM-120C Advanced Medium Range Air-to-Air Missiles;
<><>and 500 DSU-38A/B Detector Laser Illuminated Target kits for JDAMs.

The proposed sale of this equipment will provide Israel
<><>the ability to support its self-defense needs
<><>enable Israel to maintain operational capability of its existing systems
<><>and will enhance Israel’s interoperability with the United States.

Israel already has these munitions in its inventory, and will have no difficulty absorbing the additional munitions into its armed forces.


All questions regarding this proposed Foreign Military Property to Israel should be directed to the State Department’s Bureau of Political Military Affairs, Office of Congressional and Public Affairs, pm-cpa@state.gov.

The thing is, he can’t be sure he can trust his bodyguards. There no “secure” locations.

This is a brilliant writer.

He wasted no words. He got to the point repeatedly. Most of his ideas are new and important. He trashed the status quo effectively. He laid down a new/old theory of war which if followed will save millions of lives in the long run, by killing bad guys in the short run.

Phenomenal.

Narrallah killed our Marines in Beirut, no?

The Beirut bombing happened in 1983. The bombing was blamed on Islamic Jihad, but some said it was Iran and Hezbollah. Nazrallah was named to head Hezbollah 1n 1993. He could have been involved in the 1983 attack, but I don't know. He was not head of Hezbollah at the time.

Excellent.

I am happy we are providing the Jews in Israel the means with which to kill jihadis there before they come to kill my family here.

Am Yisrael Chai!

Killing the big bad doesn’t win the war. We killed the big bad multiple times. They just make new ones. Even if you take out the entire terrorist organization, they just make new ones.
