How democratic voters (per a focus group) in the US are seeing the conflict in Gaza. From 4:37-13:10 Key points focused upon by the group: Risk of spill over into the region Humanitarian crisis The desire to educate on the conflict first commenting The more “spiritual” lady in the front row...

Any indication the IDF troops usually use amphetamines (or other drugs) to allow/help them to carry out operations during similar campaigns? Probably just testing the defense. The real attack usually start at night with the help of NVGs. Perhaps the Gazans will use flash bang booby traps to...

China is talking but I doubt they will want to get involved in any way more than diplomatically. The Muslim nations will have to create the conditions such that China can come in afterwards and support a settlement diplomatically. Although, If the IDF Kills so many people, as the 86 year...

See he can say that, but he should do what the Soviets did in 1973. Put his money where his mouth is and put his nuclear forces on alert. Fly supplies from Russia, over Iran and Iraq to Syria and deploy his Air Force in Damascus.

It’s also possible, considering many of the attackers probably thought they were on a kamikaze mission. There were reports many didn’t bring medical kits or even water.

When is the next election? It’s almost certainly have changed now that they have mobilized. ORBAT (according to a retired U.S. solider analyst, who estimates this ops may cost the IDF 4-21 casualties day over a 20-50 day operation; 80-1050 dead (adjusted for that 33% if EFPs are used). Btw...

Human capital development and self development pays dividends. Even while what’s happening in Palestine, he wants to think of shortcuts to mend fences with India at all costs, even if at the expense of the Kashmiri people. Not saying to be militarily confrontational, but he could accept that...

They need at least 100-150 trucks a day. I hope Egypt can at least build a water pipeline and a fuel pipeline to Gaza. Have it managed by the UN, if it mustn’t be watched, but let the water come through.

Karachi should be its own province, it for ethic reasons but economic reasons. Similar to the Chinese port cities that became SEZs, the focus needs to be back on good governance and safety to allow investment and a natural recovery for the economy. Then Karachi can generate the taxes to help...

No one would dare suspend money to Israel. And by the time a government shutdown (toward the later half of the year) could happen, the money would have been cut off for months already. President makes policy.

It’s looking bad. Better to let local Arab troops do the fighting, and keep US servicemen as much out of it. It’s not the danger of the proxies attacking them, because the US navy or the US Air Force will deal with them, it’s the public. Mobs of angry people fighting and getting killed could...

They can’t stop Trump from NOT sending money. Trump needs to ask them to send money but he doesn’t need to ask them if he doesn’t want to send money. It’s not just Ukraine. Trump will probably (if only half heartedly, unless it get really bad) for a two state solution in the Middle East (if...

Trump as president can do a lot without needing to consult anyone. The president makes policy, and if he is withdrawing funding he doesn’t need to ask congress. Even if they complain, trump won’t care. He will say he’s saving the american people’s money. And enough people will back him in these...

The victims of the church bombing. :(

Trump is trump. His only faction is himself.

If this turns into a second nakba, the region will be hotter (especially for the autocrats from their people) than even the 1973 war. Unlike 1973, there are many armed proxies and independent groups in the region, battle hardened and well armed. So the air defense batteries will help with the...

The Russians don’t do that, they keep sending waves of men into the meat grinder until they get their way. Only economic and political breakdown will stop them for force them into withdrawing. And neither if Trump wins, I doubt he would really try to do that. He seems very friendly with Putin.

Not sure if this was shared yet, but the launch site: https://x.com/dex_eve/status/1715097523919208866?s=46

What would be their alternative? For better or worse, America is the only show in town. America makes the rules.

Troops are going to Arab countries. Probably to protect them if Iranian proxies or Iran itself start shooting.
