    OK, I get that Israel has the right to exist but for fucking once can it please just exist for 5 fucking minutes?

      Ever heard the saying, “spare the rod, spoil the child”?

      This is what happens. Your kid turns into a fuckin bully that punches above his weight because his dad is a cop and no one wants to stand up to him.

      And now he’s brought a Glock to school.

        When your kid start installing his agents in the very foundation of western countries to ensure no one oppose him for when he start murdering innocents and raging wars, please just shoot him in the face and rid the world of him.

          Oh the story of Israel’s nonsense over the past 60 plus years is so messed up. I made the comparison in jest, but it’s crazy.

          They really are the worst ride or die ally of all time. And the geopolitical math hasn’t made any sense since the cold war ended. Unless you have a secret religious need for the end of days.

          I don’t see how Israel can lose this war, they are miles ahead in terms of military technology thanks to the US and parts of Europe and if anything goes seriously wrong they will be bailed out by a US invasion force.

            All of these assumptions are not assured.

            The IDF has a very advanced military in terms of hardware, but the only doctrine they appear to practice is genocide against an enclosed much weaker enemy, which among other attrocities is an awful, counter-productive way to keep a military trained enough to function.

            Israel has more of a hyper militarized police force than a military at this point, and the consequences will be severe if Israel is successful in trying to start a regional war… as police are in my estimation are by far the most enthusiastically wrong demographic of people who think they are good at war without having ever actually experienced it (rather they have experienced the mental rush of having lethal power over others… which is not the experience of war at least beyond the first 5 minutes)…

              yeah, agreed. I hate to say it, but maybe the worlds only hope here is that the US is as fickle in its support of zionism as it is in every other middle eastern alliance it enters in.
              Hopefully Trump will be distracted by some mcdonalds production glitch or a burning need to nuke antarctica so he can mine some mineral he needs for syphillis medicine. Thats about our only hope. The dems are warming up a list of nothing but zionists to run for the next election, so theres no hope anytime soon otherwise. No word yet on giant meteor, but climate change is coming on fast so maybe we dont need meteor. I still have #hope.

              They have by far the strongest and most advanced airforce in the Middle East. Nobody else there is flying F35s

            The us isn’t invincible and Iran has shown that the iron dome can be cheaply over powered. Ukraine showed military technology isn’t that important on modern battle fields, and I doubt Israel is really prepared for a 10+ front war. The us isnt.
