Hamassholes

Yep. Hamas started this and knew what would happen if they perpetrated some shit like October 7.

They did, and it happened. Cry me a fucking river. War is hell, even if you start it yourself and bring the consequences down upon yourself.

Would Hate To See Losing

Even ignoring my feelings about the war, anyone who describes Russia as “winning” is a clownish dumbass.

Russia:

  • Has achieved none of its military objectives
  • Has not made any substantive gains in years
  • Controls nothing important it didn’t already control in 2015
  • Has experienced 1M casualties, including ~250K KIA
  • Is relying on North Korean ammo and personnel
  • Has very little equipment left
  • Probably cannot hold what it has taken long term

Whatever that is, it sure ain’t winning no matter what doofs like Ian Welsh claim.

Flattening

Israel went easier on Hamas and Gaza than I would have. Here’s what it would look like if I’d been in control:

After I saw video of savages parading Shani’s naked body through the streets of Gaza while the population cheered, why would I care what happens there exactly? You lose the right to be treated as a human being when you stop acting like one. Simple as that.

Empty

Yep. If Mexico had sent enough goons over to kill 40,000 people1 on US soil, most of them civilians, Mexico would no longer exist. Simple as that. It’d be a large parking lot.

The Palestinian “woe is me” act followed up by support of terrorism and rejecting good solutions grows old; even other Arab nations don’t want so-called Palestinian people living within their borders. And for good reason.

Israel has shown more restraint to Hamas, Gaza, and in general than I would have. That place would be empty now if October 7 had happened to my country. Devoid of all life.

War Times

NATO is already at war with Russia. It’s just that only one side is acting like it.

Tac Nuke

Tactical nuclear weapons are nearly useless on the battlefield. Mildly hardened enemy targets won’t be significantly harmed, while you’ll destroy or contaminate resources and infrastructure you need in the future. Additionally, escalation of this type with an also nuclear-armed enemy means you risk the switch from tactical to strategic nuclear weapons.

There’s almost nothing to gain from tactical nukes and very much to lose. They shouldn’t be used unless we’re fighting hive mind aliens or some such.

Mega-kablooey

Great goddamn. It’s not often that you see direct fire like that from such close range on an armored vehicle. At least it was an instant death for whoever was in that BTR-82.

That looks like a T-72 the Ukrainians have. Not sure of the variant. Can’t see enough.
