      smuglord Oho you really fall for the russian propaganda of it being a "special military operation"? You hapless fool, I am not so easily deceived.

      so-true OMG slay limited ground incursion to defend yourself in another nation that you've bombed to defend yourself.

        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.

      It will be a limited ground incursion, in the sense that Israel will completely blanket the area with bombs before doing anything on the ground. And they can do it forever, since the US will just give them more bombs.

    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

        honestly netanyahu made an explicit declaration of intent to ethnically cleanse north gaza; and this may well be both international and logistical cover to bring heavy equipment to the north of gaza and carry that out. They are now in a 21/2-front war and may well have triggered WW3 but nobody ever claimed the zionists were well-grounded in their decisionmaking.

    There is no end to this, they will not rest until everything is dead and not a single Zionist will change their mind because doing that already means admitting things you can never be forgiven for

    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.

          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 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.

    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.

        Iran didn't really retaliate against israel killing the leader of hamas on iranian soil, apparently this was because israel proposed that if they didn't retaliate there would be a ceasefire in gaza, a proposal which iran seemed to have accepted, since hezbollah probably knew about this deal it's speculated that they might've relaxed security a bit and left israel an opening to attack them and, of course, there's no ceasefire in gaza so they lied. And iran believed
