How many times have they sold and resold this same story about Biden and now Trump being secretly VERY VERY mad at Netanyahu

@Malcolm_Pal9 His melodramatic, late, useless, tick and roll flail is priceless.

@Malcolm_Pal9 I love the guy cheerleading until the slightest hint of possible harm comes in to his view; at which point he fires without even a glance back to help anyone else.

Even if Hezbollah were to fully disarm, dissolve its military wing, and withdraw entirely from Lebanese political life tomorrow, the historical and strategic record offers little confidence that Israeli forces would withdraw from occupied Lebanese territory. If anything, the current operational tempo suggests the opposite trajectory.

This is not a question of Hezbollah's merits or failures; that judgment belongs exclusively to the Lebanese people, who bear the cost of that answer in blood and infrastructure. The question is one of strategic intent, and intent is most honestly read through behaviour rather than stated justification.

What we are witnessing is Israel, for the first time in its history, operating as the unchallenged regional superpower, doing so with unprecedented latitude granted by Washington. That combination of capability and political cover is not being conserved. It is being spent.

The logic of the current campaign, stripped of its reactive framing, points toward a deliberate restructuring of Israel's strategic environment. Two fronts have been the priority: Lebanon and Syria. In Lebanon, Hezbollah has been degraded to a degree that would have seemed implausible three years ago. In Syria, Israeli strikes have been so systematic and so comprehensive in targeting military infrastructure that what remains of Syrian conventional capability is negligible. These are not defensive operations; they are the deliberate elimination of the last organised military architecture on Israel's northern and northeastern flanks.

This brings us to the two remaining fronts: Egypt and Jordan. Both maintain functioning armies, both share borders with Israel, and both represent the final serious military actors within Israel's natural expansion sphere.
Neither is under immediate threat of direct confrontation; they don't need to be. The strategy doesn't require kinetics against Cairo or Amman. It requires geometry; the progressive elimination of the coalition depth, the strategic alternatives, and the deterrent architecture that gave both countries leverage. With Hezbollah weakened, Syria militarily hollowed out, and the Palestinian question being foreclosed rather than resolved, Egypt and Jordan will find themselves facing Israel without the strategic weight that previously balanced the relationship.

Historically, buffer zones do not remain buffers. They become frontiers. And frontiers, in the logic of states that have internalised expansion as security, generate the justification for the next buffer.

@FoxNews Lol a community gathers supplies to help hungry and needy people, and you sociopaths paint it as some sinister operation.

You’re fucking fascists.

@DakotaBuilder28 @FoxNews You won’t be safe either in this world of fascism which eats all eventually. Sounds like you would love living in the handful of truly totalitarian states already in action. And you are still welcome to leave to them…for now

@Dav1dPro @we_todd_ed1 @FoxNews No need for me to write this exact comment now. Agreed.

[El Jones @ElJonesPoet]

Take a slave owner or residential school founder’s name off a street or remove a statue and there’ll be endless screaming about preserving history. But when Israel destroys Tyre - older than all European capitals - in Lebanon and destroys ancient monuments it’s silence.

@SarahIronside6 @kathieallenmd Because theocracy must be retired not revived. It is on the rise or already the norm in many places unfortunately. We have a strong relationship w/the theocratic Israeli state, so that is one of the first we can help change into a democracy. Theocracy by def doesn’t = democracy.
