It is fake outrage.
If we don’t want it under our property, we have no choice because every bill put forth to let localities decide has been killed.

Drone warfare has brought the Russia/ukraine war to a stalemate. Heavy Artillery vs Drones will likely be the biggest transformation in weaponry moving forward.

I’m not smart enough to know if we’ve reached that point yet.

quote:I absolutely agree with this. Do you think military economics play a part? That is, concerning massive strategic air strikes, does the idea of diminishing returns come in to play?
War is about more than military might. Politics and economics are a part of it too.

quote:Depending on which analyst’s report you can believe, before the war began the IRGC was believed to have 150K active troops, and Iran’s active and reserve troops combined >600K. They are decentralize by design, embedded in every province, which is why they just can’t be bombed into oblivion. Unless there is a fractured military somewhere leading a rebellion, which would amount to a protracted civil war, their civilian population just isn’t capable of rising up and taking back their country in some sort of Red Dawn fashion.
If watching tens of thousands of your countrymen die in the streets at the hand of leadership doesn’t motivate them to take their country back, it’s a lost cause.
>Half their country is comprised of women, children and the elderly. That would mean that ~35M mostly untrained and unarmed men(15-60 yrs old) would have to somehow unite and engage 500-600K trained and armed soldiers (who have been brutally oppressive) in some type of asymmetric guerrilla warfare. If that was part of the equation in this plan, it was ill-conceived and not very realistic.

I am not going to immediately believe or discount a link to one of the multi-million X posts per day. With that said, Hamas came across the border in a less than stealth manner using tricked up bulldozers and Amazon level paragliders. If that training was $608M worth, somebody got screwed over.

No need. I actually post sources and quoted those sources for you. I was even nice enough to bold the part that I was referencing

This information would have to be discovered via a 3-letter agency, yes? Why the 7-8 year lag to ambiguously link Iran to it?

Do you have an answer as to how to make it stop?
