Friday evening in the Levant, Israel targeted buildings in the southern suburbs of Beirut killing Hezbollah General Secretary Hassan Nasrallah. This operation represents a dramatic shift in Israeli strategy. Not only have they finally liquidated an adversary they’ve long been capable of killing, they’ve also turned a deaf ear to their superpower patron of more than half a century. But at this stage, heeding Washington’s advice in war is like taking counsel from the angel of death. Just as the U.S. is no longer willing or able to win the wars it commits Americans to fight, the Joe Biden administration won’t let U.S. allies win wars either.
By ordering the strike on Nasrallah while attending the U.N. General Assembly, Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu underscored the Jewish state’s independence from the global consensus that has resolved not to confront terrorists but rather to appease them, whether they’re plotting in the Middle East or living among the local populations of Western nations, including the United States. Israel’s attack also shows that almost everything U.S. and other Western civilian and military leaders have believed about the Middle East for the last 20 years was simply a collection of excuses for losing wars. The questions that senior policymakers and Pentagon officials, think-tank experts and journalists have deliberated over since the invasion of Iraq—questions about the nature of modern warfare and the proper conduct of international relations in a multipolar world, etc.—can now be set aside for good because they have been resolved definitively.

The IDF announced less than an hour ago that Nasrallah is dead, and it was accomplished when Netanyahu was addressing the UN.
We haven’t won a war since WWII...
Grenada?
Netanyahu basically saying to the world, “ we can kill you anywhere, at any time of our choosing”.
It’s been a rough few months for all the Jew haters. Shalom, bitches!! 🖕🏻
.
Israel! F___ Yeah!
Multitasking!
Another one bites the dust...
Woo hoo! Shabbat Shalom, y’all!
Mazel tov!!
That might count.
It was a brilliant plan that even Israel watchers did not see coming. I know I assumed that Israel’s plan was to invade Lebanon right after the c&c pagers and phones blew up. It wasn’t the main plan. The main plan was to force the Hezbollah hierarchy to meet personally by making them distrust their electronics. So when they did meet, they were all in one place to be eliminated from this world. If I were the Ayatollah, I would retire immediately and move my whole family to South America.
Congratulations to Israel. Long live the IDF. Long live the Chosen People. Rot in hell, Nasrallah.
Nasrallah and Iran were counting on Israel’s reluctance to cross the US and ‘disobey’ Biden’s wishing. I suspect that there are many pro Iranian moles in the US Administration that have been advising Iran in advance of Israeli intentions. That is why Israel did not inform the US of their intentions before the Nasrallah mission.
Pretty much every sen and rep in the rat party, the entire administration and every secretary, for starters, not counting spies and other covert foreign ops.
The Gulf War was a win, in that it accomplished the mission of expelling Iraq from Kuwait.
“If I were the Ayatollah, I would retire immediately and move my whole family to South America.”
Don’t you remember Israeli’s hunting down Nazi war criminals in Argentina for 40 years after WW II? Argentina isn’t safe.
That’s because the dimocRAT/uniparty adhere to the failed LBJ war strategy. I believe it is a part of their insidious depopulation agenda.
"U.S. forces are still based in Iraq and Syria to fight ISIS and any other Sunnis the Iranians and their allies categorize as threats to their interests. The detail seems almost like a medieval curse imposed on the losing side in a war. After the Iranians killed and maimed thousands of U.S. troops in Iraq, and helped kill and wound thousands more by urging their Syrian ally Bashar Assad to usher Sunni fighters from the Damascus airport to the Iraqi front, America’s best and bravest are condemned to eternal bondage requiring them to protect Iranian interests forever."
