I like this meme. Because it is true
People often say war is about technology and force. But modern war is about how much sacrifice you can muster.
I don’t expect a country like israel to “win” a war
Weapons are an important factor in war, but not the decisive factor; it is people, not things that are decisive. The contest of strength is not only a contest of military and economic power, but also a contest of human power and morale. People necessarily wield military and economic power.
—Mao Zedong, On Protracted War (May 1958)
Fucking America can't win a war. Afghanistan. They don't understand how wars are won and therefore don't know when not to get into one.
The Israeli army has not released an updated figure of the number of soldiers who have been killed in south Lebanon ground operations.
Oh shit, oh fuck
A bit of hopium from comrade Indrajit: 'Israel's Tank Army Is Toast
Wow great read and some nice hopium!
I like this:
And America itself can't even show up, they're actually in the middle of a long retreat from the world, furiously throwing proxies in front of themselves and resorting to open terrorism.
It conjures up images of an old American style cartoon character whipping out things to put in front of them as they hastily backpedal.
I liked this part:
'Israel' depends on America for everything now, making the non-entity a non-entity. They're just delivery boys for American bombs, working on colonial commission.
I think the author might have meant "making the entity a non-entity" though
Nah. He makes a point to call them a non-entity every chance he gets. Even when it sounds goofy, which is a commitment to the bit I can respect
What is the Lebanese army doing? Is it just sitting this out while Hezbollah and Israel fight over southern Lebanon?
The Lebanese military is pretty small and technologically outdated. The most charitable assessment is they are not capable of conventionally fighting Israel and would want to be able to maintain peace after any fighting stops, because they've had to deal with opportunistic groups like ISIS in the past etc. The realpolitik is that Lebanon is a multi-faith and politically fragmented country, a bunch of Christian generals would rather Hezbollah and Israel fight it out weakening each other.
I read something someone mentioned a while back that apparently the US' laws on the Lebanese government severely hampered their ability to arm themselves or to develop an army akin to Germany post WW2 (but I've no idea if they're right or not)

Dude in first clip is a chad. That is a man who signed up to fight and has absolutely no fear of death.
heads up, your second link says "twiter", instead of twitter
Thanks for the heads up.
The IOF person holding the camera in the second clip is lucky they didn't get shot with friendly fire when the other tripped lmao
Least Haydar
Holy paper tiger
no more half measures walter
Is there any clear info on Hezbollah casualties?
I think one of them broke his foot shoving it up an IOF terrorist's backside
This just makes me think they're definitely going to deploy nukes 😬
The Zionazis will not deploy nukes on land it wants to take for itself. The treat of nukes is more towards Iran, or Euope or the US in a MAD Samson Option - I can't have it, no one can - final lash if it is not supported.
What if Israel is threatening the west? Then again why is that in any way acceptable? You'd think it would be grounds to isolate and neutralize Pissreal. Politicians act like they are under a gun any time the topic is brought up.
The reason being is Greater Israel - that is their entite motive. They think they are entitled to half the Middle East. They will not irradiate what they want to live in, despite polluting the shit out of it with heavy metals and white phosphorus.
Would Bibi deploy a nuke at the west to false flag to prolong his reign and stay out of jail? What if they toss a nuke in the 
Russia conflict? Suitcase bomb. Make it look like it came from one side to provoke another or 
Pissreal is full of fanatical fascist zealots. Think of the most insane shit and you'll probably be close to or conservative of the actual truth.
amounted to more than 70 dead and more than 600 wounded officers and soldiers of the Israeli enemy army,”
Bullshit, I betcha 100 dead!

Welcome to c/news! We aim to foster a book-club type environment for discussion and critical analysis of the news. Our policy objectives are:
-
To learn about and discuss meaningful news, analysis and perspectives from around the world, with a focus on news outside the Anglosphere and beyond what is normally seen in corporate media (e.g. anti-imperialist, anti-Zionist, Marxist, Indigenous, LGBTQ, people of colour).

To encourage community members to contribute commentary and for others to thoughtfully engage with this material.
-
To support healthy and good faith discussion as comrades, sharpening our analytical skills and helping one another better understand geopolitics.
We ask community members to appreciate the uncertainty inherent in critical analysis of current events, the need to constantly learn, and take part in the community with humility. None of us are the One True Leftist, not even you, the reader.
