You are truly longing for a world full of conflict and division. Your wish is definitely going to be fulfilled. Your list of foes is long and every day you add more foes to the list.
You think he'll fight? A Swede!
His big mouth owes to British, French and American led global order... that allows him to beat his chest in a quaint little a do nobody state... that will most likely sit the conflict out hoping NATO will be their savior.

Absence of craters in Gaza hospital attack suggests use of ‘proximity fuse’: Ammunition specialist


ANKARA
The Israeli attack on a hospital in Gaza was carried out with a “proximity fuse” bomb that explodes high above the ground, an expert told Anadolu on Wednesday.
Retired military officer and ammunition specialist Engin Yigit said there was a strong possibility that the attack was carried out with an MK-84 guided bomb.
Yigit said considering the images of the moment of the attack, the probability that the ammunition was a JDAM-equipped 2,000-pound (910-kilogram) Mark 84 (MK-84) bomb increased.
He noted that Joint Direct Attack Munition (JDAM) is the name of one of the guidance kits. “You can make the bomb guided with a kit that you attach to the front or back of MAK-82, MAK-83, MAK-84 bombs.”
“JDAM is a type of kit that allows precise delivery of the bomb to the target,” he said. “The said kit attached to the bomb makes the bomb smart and provides precision strike capability.”
Yigit said there are several fuses to detonate the bombs and some can explode on impact, while others can explode at the desired moment and height before impact.
“Bombs with proximity fuses or proximity sensors may not create craters where they explode,” he said. “The hospital attack in Gaza may have been similar. How high the bomb explodes can be set by the user.”
The strike by Israel on the al-Ahli Baptist Hospital killed at least 471 victims, according to revised figures by the Gaza Health Ministry.
The conflict began Oct. 7 when Hamas initiated Operation Al-Aqsa Flood -- a multi-pronged surprise attack that included a barrage of rocket launches and infiltrations into Israel by land, sea and air.
Hamas said the incursion was in retaliation for the storming of the Al-Aqsa Mosque and growing violence by Israeli settlers.
The Israeli military then launched Operation Swords of Iron against Hamas targets in the Gaza Strip.
At least 3,478 Palestinians have been killed. The death toll in Israel stands at more than 1,400.
 
Video Description: Despite claiming that it doesn't care for the harm to the Hamas-held hostages in the early stages of war, Israel has now chalked out a plan to rescue the captives. A team led by two Major Generals from the IDF is working on providing information to the Army, Israel's Security Agency and the Mossad on the hostages.

Irresponsible behaviour risking the lives of hostages.
 
Everyone who doesn't follow the good old 'Pax Americana' is in the 'queue'. It is Gaza today. Then Hezbollah and/or West Bank Palestinians tomorrow. Then maybe Syria and/Iran. Then China. Russia is already severely damaged as was evidenced by the Russian inability to intervene in the recent Azerbaijan action to take up Negorno Karabakh.

It would do us some good to study why various nations joined contending blocks in the World War One.

Absolutely, so this is tupid policy to let others die and watching, is really stupid.
