China, Iran and Russia are the New Axis, and Europe is the New Soviet Union; neither faction is truly our friend.
That's what I hear, but I'm not buying it. Sounds too... simplistic
and narrative-driven in my opinion.
The core of the matter is that life is cheap in most of the world. The idea that life is sacred and must be protected is very Western. If you go to any African hellhole they have no trouble killing 15 yo pregnant girls.
If you withdraw an standing army stationed on a region next to fundamentalist forces, I guarantee you they will take over the next day, kill everybody that does not look pure to them and ask the questions later.

I don't know. It sounds to me NATO is the new Empire the world fights against.
Europe is just a protectorate for the US, aka USA's bitch.
Would they even allow entry? Dont they have to take a vote?

Well, its started.
We just bombed Iranian assets in Syria.
Good. It starts when they recently began bombing our bases.

Explain to my why the African National Congress didn't condone terror, so there was comparatively very little terroism in SA. That's what made peace possible. The lefties keep using it as their faulty analogy, though.
Isn't it always?

In other words: my read is that the core of the problem is Islamism.
I suspect its behind a lot of other things too, like the woke culture and other destructive ideals. Let societies self-destruct, on their own dime.. Or at least fall apart enough to make violent take over less of a problem/cost.
Its not like the are in a hurry..

Tell them to start in DC.

They're also using smoke. Purple smoke. When they find the end of a tunnel they fill it with purple smoke and then look for other locations where the smoke is coming to the surface, because those are either entry/exit points or air supply vents.
The smoke can't be poisonous though, because that violates the Geneva Convention rules about chemical weapons. Not that it matters ... United al-Nations will condemn Israel for defending itself anyway.
Instead of smoke i vote napalm.. But ya, Israel is already being blamed and vilified, and they will be declared war criminals so what do they have to lose at this point ? I still worry about an attrition war. They cant win that. And since we have expended so much with Ukraine, not sure we are of much help in the long run either. ( we are also vulnerable )
As an Israeli I must protest! The European Jugglers won't let us host the European Juggling Convention, but the world decides that we're up for hosting WW3? Like seriously?!
oh hells to the no! we don't want 2 million radicalized Muslims added to our population! No - we gotta take over and then rebuild like the US did with Japan and Germany.
Mon Oct 09 2023 10:27:41 EDT from msgrhysThe recent Hamas terror attacks have extinguished any remaining doubt in my mind that Israel should just completely annex the Gaza Strip and West Bank. Yeah the UN will whine. So what?
So what would you call an organization that sends 2000+ armed males out with instructions to "kill, torture, rape, film it all, and (in some cases) take prisoners" and the ones who aren't meant to take prisoners are told not to expect to come back?

A very interesting observation. I find that a similar one is that whenever someone says "terrorist" they are almost 100% guaranteed too hyped-up to say anything rational or useful. Terms that "shed heat and no light".
Myself, id prefer to call them dog food, after they are all rounded up and executed for their crimes..
