Yes. I am not much aware of military hardware etc and that's why you'd almost never find me in PDF's military hardware forum. But I do study various sources with particular attention to geography, history, geopolitics, economy, and indeed even the social norms of a society. The United States...

I have said it multiples times here: This is Russia's chance to get some concessions from Americans on Ukraine and, from seeing what Zelensky has been saying, it is working. Like Americans using the Ukrainian blood to bleed Russia, it is time for Russia to use the Israeli blood to bleed America.

I think that's almost an 'absolute' truth!!

I see what you are saying. But in case of Israel and Palestine, you don't go back that far and you have about equal number of populated people on both sides between the Jordan River and the Med. Sea. And the numbers are quite large on either side: 4-5 millions on either side of the ideological...

Or hate Palestinians even more!!!! Where are those wise guys who said America could not only fund and fight in Ukraine but also in the Pacific and also in the Middle East?? Already the funding to Ukraine was curtailed due to the 'Rebel' Republican just a few days ago!! There is hubris and then...

Yup. I had said above that I doubt even Hamas knew their assault would be that successful. Much of what we saw on October 7 was unplanned rage, built up over decades. Still--it is a good gesture to let children and elderly/sick go. I'd add women but then the more are released the more easily...

"There was only one real Christian and he died on the Cross" [Paraphrased]. Nietzsche--the guy in my profile pic

YouTube's algorithm pointed me this video just now. I was surprised to see a Palestinian journalist speaking good Urdu: Mr. Jalal Mahmood. Toward the end, he was asked to give a message to Pakistanis people and he said this: "I know this that even if the whole world abandons Palestinians, the...

For sure, the political battles in Israel--the elections, the narrow coalition govts, the extremist coalition govts, the anarchy around Netanyahu's Judicial reforms for many months... all of these have undermined Israeli society from the inside and has manifested in not only the Hamas attack but...

Israeli high officials, in their anger, have publicly made statements about plans for Gaza, which could be used in ICC for War Crimes. Amazing lack of control but then when you know that you have the American President himself in your pocket you can say and do whatever. As to the Israeli...

Care to elaborate, please? But, yes, Putin is ABSOLUTELY not going to let go of this opportunity to drain American resources and divert attention from Ukraine. Already Zelensky is directly blaming Russia for helping Hamas in this conflict.

Saudis along with most Arab countries have done a lot for the Palestinians. Problem is that it would seem futile to keep repeating pro Palestinian policies when it was not just the rabid attack dog of America Israel but the entire West, backed by America, behind Israel. One can only do so much...

You need land for Lebensraum. Israelis always wanted the land. They were just not strong enough in 1948 And so when they got the land, they are clinging onto it like their lives depends on it. Well, maybe NOW their lives depend on clinging onto the land: The Settlers Enterprise would kill any...

Only some religious fanatic would want to do the 'Aliya' (migration) to Israel after this for many years. No wonder many Israelis have kept their dual nationalities. I don't blame them.

Nothing. It is just a stupid topic to bring fighter aircrafts into this debate. Arabs will never fight Israel in a conventional war anymore than North Korea needs to fight South Korea: Deploying tons of missiles to destroy Tel Aviv or Seoul is enough. What has worked for NK for decades works for...

Global geopolitics is rapidly evoloving since the Russia-Ukraine war. Bolded part: Why do you have to jump the gun? Why such extreme expectations from Russia? Had you not seen how prominently the NY Times gave space to Russia not even offering condolences to Netanyahu unlike in the past? The...

On the contrary, Russia is extremely relevant to this conflict!!! Why do you come across as stuck in old times? The Russia-Ukraine war, which has cornered and made Putin desperate, is a game changer for several global theaters. Russia's position has changed or changing drastically on the...

As the Scott Ritter video posted above said, this latest one need not be another 'endless war'. The strife in that region can be finished 'once and for all' IF/WHEN Israel's neighbor countries decide to cripple Israel's economy by raining missiles for months. Scott is quite confident that would...

9/11? Not a good comparison to American 9/11; that 9/11 America had global sympathy, even from Iran. This maybe Israel's own 9/11 but at least in the 55+ Islamic countries there is tacit support for Palestinians on this action. Pakistan, Egypt, Turkey are economically weak and dependent on the...

Doesnt' make much of difference unless the combatants are a regular army. You can drop a very expensive missile on some mobile rocket launcher--one of the hundreds surrounding Israel--and MAYBE kill those few people--but there are hundreds more to drain your resources and cripple your economy...
