Lots of news agencies pulling out the term 'limited ground incursion' I really wonder who falls for this shit
Their laughable propagandistic 'special military operation'
Our accurate and reasonable 'limited ground incursion'
Truly an incredible parody we have been given
I hate it.
Oho you really fall for the russian propaganda of it being a "special military operation"? You hapless fool, I am not so easily deceived.
OMG slay limited ground incursion to defend yourself in another nation that you've bombed to defend yourself.
'Lesser evil' is unironically considered good in mainstream media, so I assume a lot of people are falling for this shit.
It's funny how often they cheer for "lesser evil" like it still isn't evil. Pretty sure Sophie wasn't celebrating her Choice, motherfuckers.
It's exactly what it says on the tin. It's evil. They know it's evil, but they throw up their hands and say, "it is what it is" and engage in evil. The evil has become so banal that it is a matter of course to practice it.
FULL-SCALE: BAD SLAVIC HORDE STUFF
LIMITED: GOOD WHITES DOIN' THEIR GOSH-DARN BEST
The best way to de-escalate a situation that could blow up into a regional war is... uh... Assassinating the leader of one of the main belligerents and then doing a ground invasion. Yes.
Their form of going to the table over Gaza involved assassinating one of the negotiators so this isn't out of character for their insane thought processes
"de-escalation through escalation"
Peace Is Our Profession
war is peace
Like adding gasoline to a fire 
Vividly hearing the intro to World Destruction by Time Zone play in my head reading that
QUICK
SEND 60 BILLION DOLLARS TO ISRAEL
ONLY SIXTY? MAOTHELAWN HAS GONE WOKE
They're a very bad Palestinian!!
There are reports of large numbers of troops and tanks moving to the border, so it seems like they are really going to do it.
On paper, Hezbollah still has everything they need to defeat such an invasion. Either the Israeli leadership is fully detached from reality, or they have more cards up their sleeve.
Also, from what I've heard, it sounds like Israel will invade through Syria in an attempt to bypass defenses in Lebanon. But both Hezbollah and Syria have probably been preparing for that for a while now.

I feel like I'm being baited into an analogy
Opening up a second front, the fascist love that.
opening up a 3rd front in order to open up my 2nd front, in order to, uh... what was I doing again 
How's the situation in Syria? I don't think they would appreciate Israel troops on their land
It may force a response from Assad that could end in an attept to liberate Golan heights, the syrian army is currently 130k strong who are experienced thanks to the civil war
they have more cards up their sleeve.
A ground invasion against Syria will fix the Gazan and Lebanese fronts!
Either the Israeli leadership is fully detached from reality
They are fully detached from reality. They have effectively opened up three fronts in the past month.
Let’s just assume full scale occupation is successful on all fronts, they’ve just welcomed a half dozen legitimate insurgencies that they have no chance of overcomingn in the long run. Zero. They are fucked.
Our enemy’s Special Military Operation
Our ally’s ground operation
Unprovoked full-scale invasion
After Iran's massive fuckup I'm no longer confident on predicting how this will go.
Fully prepared to read about how Israel just rolled in with zero opposition because Anthony Blinken promised each member of the resistance $3.50 if they just didn't do anything.
Bloodthirsty molerats.
Iran, please.
I really hope that Mike Davis’s prediction of a small scale nuclear conflict breaking out in regional wars was off the mark.
Could I get a reality check for this? Does it mean anything? What exactly is a Nour missile?

Hezbollah fires 'Nour missile' into northern Israel
Hezbollah said in a statement that it fired a “Nour missile” at Israel, which sources familiar with the Lebanese militant group told Reuters is a ballistic missile. The missile hit the village of Kafr Giladi in northern Israel, the statement said, adding that it had fired it in response to “Israeli violations of cities, villages, and civilians.” It was the first time they have used the missile, the statement said.
