Hezbollah will just get new leaders. You cannot destroy a movement or ideal by just doing targeted assassinations. With all the random civilian killings Israel is doing in Lebanon I suspect the recruitment rate for Hezbollah is going up instead of down.caveat emptor wrote:It turns out that whole Hezbollah leadership was wiped out in mere two weeks. It looks like organization is completely compromised from inside and that old structure of leaders was resting on the laurels. Will that cause significant decrease in their combat capabilities remains to be seen.
Bullshit. Instead Russia would be fighting a bloody, expensive, and hard counter insurgency campaign in Ukraine. See what happened after WW2 in Ukraine, and that was at a time the Ukrainian borders were plugged with areas (Poland, Hungary, Romania) under Soviet control.caveat emptor wrote:Also, this is a good lesson for Russia. If they started hitting Ukrainian leadership from the get go, it is very possible war would be over by now and thousands of Russian lives would be preserved.
Their current President is weak AF.caveat emptor wrote:As for Iran, i think that leadership of the country just wants to preserve their own positions and is looking towards building up nuclear arsenal as means of deterrence. I don't expect any meaningful escalatory answer from them.

I fail to see how liquidation of 20 top people in hierarchy doesn't make any difference. Maybe even positive one, if said people got too complacent. It remains to be seen in the future.lancelot wrote:

Compounded by the new leader, with team in this case, being a totally unknown quantity, likely to be much younger and with a desire to make a name for themselves (war can change lives in so many ways). Plus of course a burning need for revenge.lyle6 wrote:
