2023 Israel–Hamas war

@ Hole



Come to think of it , you make a good point . A ratio of 3:1 , injured to killed , is about right for urban close combat fighting . Therefore we can say that the civilians were not necessarily targeted deliberately . But only died being mostly caught in the cross- fire ! They probably took hostages , at the most convenient and close by places as well ! No need to go to the Tibet plateau .

Yes makes sense ! Also note that compared to tonnage dropped , of 6000 tons in built up urban area , relatively few casualties ! Means bunkers for civilians !

-According to the US, two to three missiles targeted the American warship USS Carney off the coast of Yemen.

-U.S issued a worldwide notice to civilians.

- Israel has given the green light for the Gaza assault.

-Islamic Resistance of Iraq has taken responsibility for missile strikes against the u.s base in Syria. (Argentina's post about the U.S base being hit in Syria)

- movements of long-range ballistic missile launchers of the IRGC Aerospace Force on the Tehran - Qom highway

- In the US-occupied territory of northeastern Syria, unknown persons blew up a oil transfer pipeline near the Konoko plant

The missiles were shot down.

I know it's cool and all that , to target the yanks . But I think Israel should be the target for Now . You never know , Israel may stop bombardment and yanks could keep out of direct confrontation altogether  . If they don't , and come in directly , then no choice . In Ukraine so far , they have kept out of direct confrontation with Russia . Or maybe it is best to target the yanks first ? Open a second front and exhaust their supply lines to Ukraine , and break their Assets ? Kill two Birds with one stone ? Or attack both at the same time ? As well as Ukraine ? Better still ! And Taiwan ? Excellent ! As many fronts as possible .........

What are the odds, that along with humanitarian aid going to Rafah through Egypt, there are weapons and instructors like wagner?

Russia could tilt the balance by arming iran , in an unknown way

We know Azeris killed Russians and Armenians with Israeli weapons, and these also appeared in Libya, Syria, and Nagorno-Karabakh

There is also the question of the IL20 being shot down during the Israeli raid in 2018

The discontent of the general staff with the political line

I think it is in Russian interests to weaken the west in this war, by sustaining Iran and by extension the proxies in the region

I see Putin speaking neutral platitudes, but other things are being done behind the scenes like kinzhal armed mig31 and now this humanitarian aid,

But I think Russia already has taken a position in this conflict, but it won't let it be known, let the Arabs and Iran assume the responsibility of fighting the war, but Russia will tilt the scale its own way

Russians never forget their own, it cost Prigozhin his life, and it will cost Israel too

Remember VKS bombed Turkish special forces killing 100+ , this was for a su24,

There is a price to be paid one way or the other

They can not just bomb and sit and watch ! Although they prefer to do this . The reason is that , the longer they bomb and sit and watch , the less we sit and watch ! Then they get retaliated , with more fronts opening against them ! They will have to fight on many fronts ! And even with support , they can not do this . So it forces their hands , and they have to rush ! They are rammed if they do , and banged if they don't .

Regards forming a united front , with Russia against them , this is happening naturally by their combined war in many regions . They are uniting the world against them . The axis of evil , turned to the axis of resistance , and this is turning to an alliance against NATO . They may see this as a blessing , something to sink their teeth into . But their teeth will break !


The countries standing against Israeli aggression , should concentrate efforts against them , and not against the Americans . This may keep America  out of the direct war , with resistance front  . Of course Russia benefits , because the support America gives to Ukraine , becomes more difficult to give . If America attacks resistance front , then no choice but defend . Russia can give support to resistance front also . They are short of manpower , we are not .

Edit : Wait and see NO retaliation against Yemen against Israel ! And if attacks comes from Syria AND Iraq , Wait AND see NO retaliation . And finally NO retaliation if attack from Iran ! Because , unlike what they said , they have no freedom to act , against so many targets , as well as bombing the Palestinians . They don't have the power , and not does America ! Supply lines overstretched , too few carriers in other areas against China , too few stocks of ammunition ! The billion USD , is never enough to cover a war , across the entire ME .
