When this thing goes, it probably goes nuclear.

The Pier at Gaza and the “Bloodbath” sure have taken Ukraine off the front page, makes one wonder what is going on behind the curtain...

The Israelis have started to hit targets in the Beqaa valley, which signals to me that they do not intend to go after Hezbollah in Beirut, which is a difficult urban target, but intend to swing around the Golan through Syria to attack Hezbollah's heartland in the Beqaa directly.

Whether they will actually start an anti-Hezbollah operation is uncertain. They have the current Communist American regime by the short hairs because they could escalate the conflict to include the Iranians at any time, which would embroil the US in another conflict for which the incompetents in charge are unprepared and would cause problems with the Iranian agents embedded in the current admin and the flow of Iranian kickbacks to officials at State and elsewhere.

It won’t go very well for the rag heads here if attempted. Too many guns in the hands of citizens more than willing to dump their government.

does anyone else suspect this could be a “obama sponsored” military outpost for USA and European allies to use in attacking ISRAEL if the Jewish Nation has the audacity to try and preventively defend themselves against Iran, Hezzbulluh or Ham-ass?

Israel is expending a lot of energy on Gaza. Can they put up an extended multi-front defense with no end in sight?

Israel probably doesn’t have as many, but I bet they are REALLY accurate.

And they’ll be aimed at the HEAD of the beast.

Well; it just kinda depends...

...on what kinda leadership you have, doesn't it.

Some of the victories in Israel’s past (both recent and Biblical) sure seem to show the hand of God when they defeat armies vastly larger than them.

OTOH, when Israel has turned away from God, things don’t go so well for them. I would hope that Israel is still on God’s side.

Well, lots of claims and counterclaims, but the one thing for sure is that Ukraine has been popping distillation towers at some Russian refineries, and, Russian refined oil products production and especially export is down, according to the Russians themselves. This may force Pooty to pull some Air Defense assets back into Russia, which has interesting implications.

I must admit that Russia’s inability to intercept moderately large, slow, noisy(!) drones flying in some cases quite long distances into Russia, surprises me a bit. Acoustic detection and triangulation works, and Russia used to have significant such capabilities, intended for use against far tougher bogeys (like cruise missiles). The Ukie attacks were neither swarm attacks nor time-on-target, either.

How this plays out will be interesting. It is somewhat (somewhat) reminiscent of what the Houthis did to Saudi Arabia.

Hezbollah is somewhat constrained by its most major supply lines from Iran passing rather close to some of the US bases in Syria and Iraq. That’s probably the biggest reason we keep those bases there, tho’ that little tidbit is rarely mentioned / discussed. Certainly it is not realized by many who complain about us maintaining those bases. Unless of course they are actually on our foreign enemies’ side to begin with.

If the Hezzy’s logistics were essentially unimpeded, there is a VERY good chance Bibi would have to pull out, oh, hard to say. Maybe 20% of his nukes? Whether THAT can be contained is a VERY big question. I rather doubt it.

Not a chance.

Twice in the sandbox with nothing to show for it except shattered American families and trillions lost is plenty.

Never again.
