Hamas attacks Israel

Interesting in how we never lose any real battles but cant secure the peace. We still have soldiers in Europe, Japan and SK. Amazing that we have "peace" there.

I am not a fan of nation building but if you are going to do it you can not half @ss it.

I believe the key to having "peace" is to have willing participants. Europe, Japan, you had that, Vietnam, Iran, Iraq, Afghanistan, not so much.

Subjugated = willing for Japan and Germany. SK should have been the model for Vietnam but Nixon botched it with not securing a real peace. Congress played a role but there was no tripwire.

Iraq and Afghanistan should have been forcibly secularized. We could have 1.5 generations of limp wristed boys in those countries by now. We can indoctrinate our youth with perversity but cant seem to do anything with a conquered foe?

No its called half @ssed. W and his dumb purple thumbs allowing for Islamism to be voted into both places.

What happened to the divinity of Japan's emperor? Gone at the stroke of a pen. SK BTW has a very large Christian population. That was not the case in the 1950s.

I am out on Nation building. Think of the money, and more importantly the lives that were lost to achieve so little. Trump is spot on here. If you have to fight...fight with every ounce of ability you can, and win decisively. Or do not fight.

he terrorist network, backed by Iran, began escalating its attacks on Western ships in the Red Sea following the Oct. 7, 2023, Hamas attacks on Israel. Notably, security experts have pointed out the Houthi attacks are not indiscriminate as they do not routinely target Chinese or Saudi Arabian vessels.

Trump also issued a message to Iran on Monday and warned if the attacks do not stop, Washington will come for Tehran next.
 
Our military is RWA right now. They are READY, WILLING and ABLE.... If talks break down, or something changes with enrichment...we are absolutely ready. I do not know if that is because we WILL attack, or that we want Iran to believe we will.
 


You can just feel this around our area. I think this is about to go down. I truly do not believe there is a choice. Iran cannot be trusted, and they CANNOT ever have a nuclear weapon

I do not know if you guys saw the latest statement from Iran...but they demanded to be able to keep enrichment. This is a NO GO for us, and Israel. Trump said he called off a strike by Israel while negotiating...however this may have been the final straw. Troops are on the absolute highest alert at this time. This thing keeps inching closer to the only way to stop them is by bombing their capabilities...I think this needs to happen, and I think it will pretty soon.

I think we are danger close to all our global war

Russia is blowing smoke. They want ZERO to do with us. Ukraine has given them all that they want..and Russia knows we are FAR, FAR superior to Ukraine militarily(and them). They are too proud to admit it...but they know. They have been exposed. China ain't there yet either. Typically...even with our planes blueprints that they stole....it is almost impossible to build a knock off as good as the original...and then you have to bring pilot training in the equation. Unfortunately,for a period of democrats running everything has REALLY weakened our readiness in my opinion. But we were not ready when the Japanese bombed Pearl, and less than 4 years later ended Germany and Japan, who WERE powerful at the start. NATO together is pretty formidable...thanks a whole bunch to our technology.

I don’t know. I’m not saying Russia will directly strike the US, however, I do think Russia will respond to the Ukraine drone attack with furious aggression. That situation is moving in the wrong direction, and many Western European states are licking their chops to expand that war. Additionally, I think the situation with Iran is slipping into kinetic territory. I fully expect direct Iran / Israel warfare sooner than later. I think the US will be much more open to engaging in this than the war in Eastern Europe. Like Russia, I don’t think china has any intention of directly engaging the US in war. I do think they will attack Taiwan, and I think the further the European and Middle East hot spots flair up, the more open the fairway for china to act on its ambitions become. Our enemies calculus will looks something like…. The US population and president are temperamentally anti-war, and will be unwilling to take on multiple regional conflicts at one time, especially if we have already bit the hook with Iran. They will think they can do what they want and we will look to minimize and live with it.

I do too...posted above the same thing. We have the hammer cocked, and our finger pulling slightly on the trigger already. I know this because our people(I live within 7 miles of 3 military bases, two being SF bases) got pulled out early on TDY's.

Agree on China...and Russia is not even worth worrying about. Their whole military persona is to defend THEIR land...not project power. They just are not very good at it.
