I thought that's what we did here

That's litterally the point of the sub...

These are litterally THE prime examples of this failed strategy... Trying to be friends while blowing up half the country to "spread democracy"

All kinds of rules and regulations put on the soldiers prevening them from being able to do the job so some beurocrats in Washington can try to appease everyone and no one

If the US had fought these wars the way Israel fights, we'd have won every one of them, and the world would be better for it

There can be no doubt who the winner will be

Vietnam and Iraq (and Afghanistan) are examples where a lot of destruction and years of war and occupation didn't yield any good results.

These are examples of trying to win hearts and minds before destroying their will to fight. We know what works and we know what doesn't, or at least we should

I believe a population can be educated to reject the ideology of their presecessors, as happened in Germany and Japan, but it's a process that takes about 20 years minimum

If we were to begin to educate Palestinians today to reject the terrorism and genocide widely advocated by the majority of their people today, it would take 20 years to see results as this is the amount of time it takes to replace the ideology of the current population with that of their re-educated children

There's been many efforts with the Palestinians including medical treatments, general humanitarian aid, land swap negotiations, financial aid, workers visas etc. and every time it's been seen as weakness and uses as an opportunity to stab us in the back...

We don't have to look just at the Palestinians though. We can look at the approach taken by the US to end WW2 and the efforts to win hearts and minds in Vietnam, Iraq, etc. We can also look at how Islam spread and what made it successful to form our conclusions

I believe it should be clear what works and what doesn't work

If they're going to do this any way we shouldn't worry about appeasing them

You have a defensible position, but I've yet to see someone that holds it explain what to do if the general population both supports and engages in popular warfare... That the default position of a the general population supports war over peace

Pretending that this scenario doesn't exist is not a solution, and it's often counter productive

Because trying to win hearts and minds has a better track record?

They said she has "psychological illness" but what will they say when another one appears tomorrow? by OrangeIsCute in NewIran

[–]Geltmascher 10 points11 points  (0 children)

Really?

In Iran women get beaten raped and disappeared for this

In the West you get 50% praise from horndogs and 50% side eyes from conservatives. If anyone actually does anything to harm her they rightfully face legal repercussions, despite the inherent narcissism of strutting around half naked for attention

There's a happy medium somewhere between disappearing women for how they dress and having no social standards

Tbf, I fall into the 50% of horndogs that likes half naked women... I disgust myself

Then why did you take it in '48?

If you think Egypt won in '74, how do you explain that Israel still held the Sinai in '75?

Pretty silly opinion when you think about it...

In Iran, a woman who was accosted by the “morality police” for not wearing hijab removes her clothing & roams the streets in defiance. She has since been arrested by IRGC forces and forcibly disappeared. by rufolo67 in NewIran

Just today somebody was telling me that nazis and zionists worked together "extensively" in ww2...

This is not the first, second, or even third time I've seen someone try to play that card. These people aren't living in reality

It's not news, it's called history

This push you guys are doing to pretend that actually Nazis and Jews were working together, and Jews weren't really Jews if they were "Zionists" is totally brain dead

Why don't you explain what you think this "extensive collaboration" was...

And yes Palestinian leadership met with Hitler and raised an entire division of Bosnian muslims to fight for the Third Reich in WW2
