**** Official Israel War thread****

You so damned clueless. The weaponry arrayed.....dude we are the weapons arrayed across the world.

We can absolutely flip a switch and turn off Irans electronic capabilities. We have done it before to countries on a limited scope to send them a message. Like turning off their defense systems which we have done while flying over defensive formations as a very clear message we could end you but didn't.

You are ****ing coward. I have lived the reality if being a soldier. This pandering fear approach you are taking is exactly the type of mealy mouthed bulkshit that empowers states like Iran to act. Evil exists and it lurks. We didn't pick this fight despite and we most certainly aren't going to run from it because cowards like you are worried about the weapons arrayed against us across the world. They need to be worried about us and a reminder of that is absolutely required in a situation like this. The idea you believe our only option is nukes is indicative of how stupid and uninformed you are about our capabilities.

This is big boy stuff even though you used that phrase as a sneering insult and you seem to actually think talking nice is going to work. Iran is done of we choose for them to be done in their current format and if they need a reminder of that we absolutely should provide that reminder. Christ the only reason they are still around is because we have put handcuffs on Israel and you think we couldn't end them? Israel could end them.

Hey look, @hawkedoff is unhinged again.
 

Hezbollah destroys Israeli surveillance cameras along the Lebanese border as tension soars​


BEIRUT (AP) — Lebanon’s militant Hezbollah group said Monday it has started destroying surveillance cameras on several Israeli army posts along the border as tension rose following the outbreak of the Israel-Hamas war.

Hezbollah’s military media arm released a video showing snipers shooting at and destroying surveillance cameras placed on five points along the Lebanon-Israel border including one outside the Israeli town of Metula.

The militant group appears to want to prevent the Israeli army from monitoring movements on the Lebanese side of the border after days of fire exchange that left at least seven people dead, including four Hezbollah fighters, on the Lebanese side.


"militant group" :rolleyes:

My personal opinion is Israel believes Hezbollah will join the fight and are just waiting until we have the other carrier group in place before going into Gaza.

Could be wrong. I will say watching Blinken talk the other day, that poor dude looks exhausted. I imagine anyone would be flying all over the place just trying to prevent this from spiraling…


Just think about what we felt like after 9/11…and what happened in Israel would have been the equivalent of 20,000 Americans dying that day.

I fully support Israel in this…but yeah, this all could go south pretty horrifically….world wide.

I dunno, that's a pretty long wait, isn't it? I think they just left Norfolk late last week.

Depends I guess. I would assume they would be there by later this week right?

(this is a total wild guess by me)

I've seen 7-10 days. If I'm Israel, I'm not sure I want to let the global PR fires burn that long. At least not unless the commitment I'm getting from Blinken is exceptionally strong.

I’m not going to dig into this but my understanding is that the 2nd carrier is to relieve the 1st and was planned well in advance of this conflict. It shouldn’t be two carriers but maybe that changes and we’ll know if the first sticks around

Yeah I'd seen something to that effect as well, though if it is true that this is routine change of the guard, they sure aren't emphasizing that in the messaging. Two carrier groups is a world of hurt.
 
As I think I've said elsewhere, perhaps this reflects that the Administration has learned something from the UKR experience, ie, that placing American boots in harm's way before things get out of hand, even in putatively noncombatant roles, can be a greater deterrent to escalation by introducing a risk of killing Americans and what flows from that. One always has to debate whether situations are analogous, but ok by me.

Scary shit folks! I dont care if your a D or a R "preferred" This is getting out of control. And as a Father of 3 21-29 age male adults, I fear for them more then anything. God help us all.
I don't think people realize how bad this can get. My son is 25 and not in the military. Are any of your kids in the military?

This Israel thread has taken 9 days to reach 54th page. By comparison, the equivalent Ukraine thread took just 2 days to get there.
This issue is more polarizing compared to the majority being for team Ukraine. So lots of cheering going on that thread while people on here don’t know how to react imo. Lots of “kill those orcs” compared to not knowing how this will effect the USA and our citizens personally.

I think this is a way bigger deal for America compared to the Ukraine-Russia war. This could be the catalyst for a whole host of things with none of those things being good at all.

You so tuff. You rarely post without insulting. Pissoff dumbass. You present as a 29 year old with no historical knowledge. Thanks for your service.
Sure, we could take out many top leaders in Iran quickly, but we are in their backyard with plenty of firepower, and a thousands of mile long logistical trail. Again, our carrier groups are within range of a lot of nasty shit.
Don’t think that the Chicomms won’t decide to ‘distract us“with Taiwan.
Be careful about getting cocky.
