The pro-Hamas rallies in the US have shined a spotlight on who the leftists are. Not that it was not pretty clear before.

It’s just their excuse for supporting terrorism.
War is not a tennis match. You have to fight in every way to totally defeat the enemy and take away his will to continue the fight.

They scream for “proportional war” yet they don’t give a hoot about “proportional civilian defense” whn it comes to Americans being well armed enough to defend themselves against all tyranny foreign and domestic
The ever wise VDH reminds us that war is not meant to be “proportionate”.
I’ve said this here many times.
Only two ways exist to win a war:
(1) Kill all of the enemy.
(2) Break the enemy’s will to fight.
There is no third option.
Israel gets this.
Great question.
The unapologetic aim was to kill thousands of Israelis at random and disproportionately.
In fact, in just the last few four weeks, Hamas has launched more than twice as many rockets into Israel as Nazi Germany managed to launch V-2s into Britain in five months.
VDH at his finest, and he is correct. The Middle East believes in the "strong horse", and whatever else Biden and his puppet masters try to do, they are NOT a strong horse.
Maybe even Iran will get the message?

Allah’s asymmetric murderers.
A military axiom states that if you find yourself in a fair fight, you didn’t plan properly.
Exactly, but that's something leftists refuse to understand.
I recommend taking the time to watch this video-—

Well, I would phrase it slightly differently. The only way to win a war is to break the enemy’s will. If that requires your first option, then so be it.
Hmmmm! When “fairshare” was definable? 😁
🙏🇺🇸🇮🇱👍
Wouldn’t a proportional war just become a perpetual war? This is likely exactly what they want. If you can’t ramp things up and win, the fighting and profits will continue until someone runs out of ammunition, people, or both.
Besides that Hamas baby raping squad and cowardly use of human shields already threw all proportionality out the window.
Dunno about that. The Left has pretty much destroyed the American Republic without the use of a classic organized military force and with few casualties to themselves.
