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.
I worry about that poster. Definite road rage vibes.Hey look, @hawkedoff is unhinged again.
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.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"
I dunno, that's a pretty long wait, isn't it? I think they just left Norfolk late last week.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.
Depends I guess. I would assume they would be there by later this week right?I dunno, that's a pretty long wait, isn't it? I think they just left Norfolk late last week.
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.Depends I guess. I would assume they would be there by later this week right?
(this is a total wild guess by me)
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.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
If there’s one thing Israel has always done well, it’s crossing names off lists.
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.
Once again, the old sesame street song “one of these things is not like the others” rears it’s ugly head.
You are an antisemiteHey look, @hawkedoff is unhinged again.
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?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.
Two of my sons are. One is a machine gunner in the the 1st Cavalry Division, the other is a combat medic in a Parachute Infantry battalion. Very proud of them, they’ll do their job if asked.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 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.This Israel thread has taken 9 days to reach 54th page. By comparison, the equivalent Ukraine thread took just 2 days to get there.
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.You so damned clueless. The weaponry arrayed.....dude we are the weapons arrayed across the world.

They are definitely sons to be proud of.Two of my sons are. One is a machine gunner in the the 1st Cavalry Division, the other is a combat medic in a Parachute Infantry battalion. Very proud of them, they’ll do their job if asked.
President Biden coming to Israel. Blinken speaking now.
Man the behind the scenes of what is happening right now is going to be a great read. So many moving pieces and no one has no idea what the hell is happening haha
And 50 pages was people just bitching about politicsThis Israel thread has taken 9 days to reach 54th page. By comparison, the equivalent Ukraine thread took just 2 days to get there.
