there are tactical nukes that are smaller that still do a lot of damage to a specific area. Maybe that would be the idea.

Re: The War on Terror /Central Asia/Mid East/Africa thread
I hope this is Israel talking out of turn. Why would the Biden admin push Congress approve a war with Syria* if Hezbollah attacks Israel?
*Edit
Also, we've bombed Syria without a war declaration previously.

One yearns for the days when America was dragged into a middle eastern war for something actually valuable like oil rather than some dusty rocks.

Re: The War on Terror /Central Asia/Mid East/Africa thread
Everyone should view Hamas as a terrorist organization after this, that should be outlawed and fought against, like Al-Qaeda or ISIS.
While Israel deserves support for these horribe terrorist attacks, the civilian population of Gaza must also be protected. Stopping water can not be the solution. Peaceful evacuation of the civilian population must be of the highest priority.
After this I can see no other solution than Israel invading Gaza. Hopefully as humanely as possible.

Re: The War on Terror /Central Asia/Mid East/Africa thread
Apart from being a major smuggling route, Syria is rather too busy with domestic issues to be a major threat to anyone. This is specifically threatening the weakest member of the Iranian backed alliance, to some unclear effect. It's not like Assad can call any of this off.Anders wrote:Hezbollah are from Lebanon, although of course they are supported by the Syrian and Iranian government.simple schoolboy wrote: I hope this is Israel talking out of turn.

Jokes aside. You need to read that again
Israel. support from what now?
From the American government and military that lumps a fe billion into it a year?
A six month old baby was the first fatality of Israeli ‘policing’ and ground invasion this year. What did she do wrong ?
She was six months old. And the idf killed her
But yeah. Palestinians are the problem
Ukranins against imperial oppression -good
Palestinians against imperial oppression- bad
