    Watch the Lebanese army and goverment again do nothing while their citizens are massacred other than scold their opposition to stop resisting.

      We already lost. Trump got bullied/suckered by Israel into this mess without a clearly defined American win scenario. Israel has one and they are getting it. The US does not, because Trump is weak and catastrophically dumb, ignorant, narcissistic, and incompetent.

        Epstein was the ultimate life insurance policy for Israel. Most of the americal leaders are in their pocket because of the kompromat he collected for decades for the foreign agencies (Israeli and Russian it seems).

          If Israel is around in 100 years I’ll eat my shorts. They’re speedrunning being turned into a crater

      Hard to imagine only half of the Arabian Peninsula or just a minor sliver of the Levant would be enough. “We’re here, why isn’t it ours” seems like the Israeli motto.

      The amount of cultural squashing that would need to happen to make this possible is just ridiculous lol.

    If the US has competent leadership we would sneak a few nukes into weapons shipments bound for Israel and detonate them at an opportune time. Israel problem solved, no more war, the US, Iran, and the rest of the world wins.

        It does no good to fight if you have no realistic way to win. They didn’t have the resources to challenge Israel before the war with Iran started and now they’re in an even worse position. They have two roles - as an irregular branch of Iran’s military and as a power within Lebanon, and they’ve chosen to prioritize the former and fight a losing battle at the expense of the latter (and at the expense of Lebanese people with no particular sympathy for Iran who don’t want to be involved in this).
