Not in the West Bank.

… How many villages in southern Lebanon has the IDF captured, again?

Let me guess, you think declaring victory and running away in 2006 meant they won, right?

Man, you should talk to Emperor Gowron. You guys share some ideas.

Edit: and no, cutting edge weapons systems on the Iranian/Russian side have not been used. The west would literally salivate at the opportunity to get some real world data on the S500.

Also, the purpose of American weapons systems is not to be the best. The purpose is to be an expensive and effective way to funnel middle class money to the stock holders of Boeing and Raytheon. Good military systems are as effective as they need to be while being cheap enough to manufacture in large numbers. An anti missle defense system that costs 2 million per missile intercepted when the missiles themselves cost 10 - 100k is an absolute failure, even if it intercepts everything it targets.

Frankly, the country with the most impressive drone program in the world is Yemen.

Russia makes more money from the sanctions being in place from their oil sales then without the sanctions.

That is the definition of failing.

P.S. Russian oil has full reach of the market because countries that should abide by the sanctions aren’t.

So inferior that the Israel strike that was supposed to accomplish SEAD turned and fled when target locked by an unknown anti air defense system?

Most (including US) current generation weapons systems have been untested. There is a reason and a strategy for all weapons producing countries doing the same thing. Using current generation systems where their effectiveness can be studied by the enemy is giving the enemy free information.

In other words, using qualifiers like inferior or superior for literally untested weapons(and yes, weapons are untested until used against an enemy) Is purely a faith/propaganda thing.

It sucks when current events happen just minutes later proving your propaganda wrong.

Fine, then the fact that Iran hit many of the targets has become public despite the Israelis best attempt to censor that information from coming out should tell you everything you need to know.

So should the fact that Iran got through with their first attack despite preemptively giving the targets to US/Israel, and that US did most of the interceptions at the cost of 1 billions dollars, and Israel used up most of its stock of ammunition.

By the by, given the cost of the ballistic missiles and the cost of the interceptors, hitting nothing is still a success. Not that that is relevant to this conversation give the fact that we know they did hit quite a few of their targets.

EDIT: Speaking of, a drone attack from Hezbollah hit a mess hall for a military base in Haifa. 67 confirmed casualties reported so far. Iron Dome didn’t even detect it.

The port of Eliat is bankrupt.

The economy of Israel is in a tailspin from the combined efforts of Yemen, and Hezbollah.

But yeah, sure, an economy being destroyed isn’t military damage.

Let me guess, the blockade of the south during the civil war didn’t accomplish anything, right?

Two responses.

One just says wrong.

The other actually engages with you on the topic.

Yet you respond only to the one that just says “wrong” complaining that they didn’t engage you on the topic.

Self righteous smugness is a hell of a drug, isn’t it?

Don’t know if it was a nuke or not, but the 10km bit isn’t info one way or another.

Which country dropped 85 2000 lb bombs to destroy 6 apartment complexs to kill one person that they had allegedly just made a peace deal with?

Israel is by every definition a terrorist country.

Hell, the former director of the CI fucking A described this and the battery bombings as terrorism.

But I’m guessing a heads of the CIA probably just love Hezbollah, right?

Remind me again why Hezbollah exists, again? Did Israel invade to kick out the PLO and get viewed as liberators until they decided they liked the land and tried to stay? I think they did.

Goddamn.

I thought about replying to the wall of text that was entirely lies but just got tired at the thought.

Well done.

Tell that to Libya.

I’m a system admin who self hosts a bunch of shit off of a 48 Ru rack in his washroom.

The internet used to be run off of the collective will of a bunch of people like me. I was there, back when it was FIDOnet and pirate bbs’s.

P.S. while I disagree with your viewpoint, this was a hilarious read, and I didn’t down vote you.

Spoken like someone that is too young to remember what the internet was like before everything got sucked up into google.

There was a recent blind taste test for chicken nuggets (not chicken strips/tenders) and all the plant based nuggets, even the cheap ones, beat out the actual chicken ones.

Now, chicken strips, I agree with you, sadly.

I think you meant the F-35

So they’ve rescued one less hostage then they’ve shot?

"Not including the ones they’ve buried in rubble, of course.
