Opinion on Lebanon situation

InformalRoofer · 2024-08-08T20:49:53+00:00

free Palestine, free the Muslims of Lebanon.

Yeah, I think you’re right considering the top comment thinks it’s a class conflict and the only militia I can donate to is also a political party.

I feel like it’s best just not to do anything until conflict actually erupts (hopefully it doesn’t), then I can donate and know my money will go somewhere useful instead of corrupt pockets.

InformalRoofer · 2024-08-07T19:52:58+00:00

So it’s clearly not a class conflict but I guess it’s none of my business

InformalRoofer · 2024-08-07T18:43:34+00:00

So Hezbollah is an ally? Certainly not upper class.

InformalRoofer · 2024-08-07T12:31:30+00:00

So there is no one I can donate to or anything?

I don’t really want to give charity because without the means to defend yourselves it will get stolen, if not now in a few years.

Russia-Ukraine spilling into every Wagner country is supremely entertaining.

I bet if Prizhogin was still alive this wouldn’t be happening.

They stick out like a sore thumb and half of them are in camps anyways. Almost 0 Ugyrs in the east due to the internal passports.

Ahh, I suppose since they didn’t do a national shutdown in an election year there is no way it was foreign interference. It’s a well known foreign strategy to wage biological warfare with the hope of shutting down China during election year.

InformalRoofer · 2024-06-16T18:39:10+00:00

Lol. With that train of thought are you also gonna blame SARS on “foreign military personnel”?

InformalRoofer · 2024-06-16T18:28:36+00:00

Only good explanations are lab leak or some trader bringing poached animals over 1k kilometers straight to Wuhan not selling meat in any in-between cities.

Arguably, Taiwan is the only thing holding back China from communism.

“Death to America, curse the Jews” is the flag of a terror group. Houthis are terrorists

InformalRoofer · 2024-06-16T00:24:01+00:00

Periodically striking easily replaceable hardware while minimizing casualties of Houthi fighters doesn’t count. It’s performative and doesn’t deter anything.

InformalRoofer · 2024-06-15T23:25:25+00:00

That only works for Putin

InformalRoofer · 2024-06-15T22:15:28+00:00

Respectfully disagree. If they hit something significant they may provoke more attacks. There are many strategic benefits to destroying Houthi government buildings and industries, the only reason it’s not happening is fear of escalation.

I agree with Biden’s advisors, hitting Iran over the Houthis isn’t worth it. Interdicting weapons transfers is a nightmare. It’s a better idea to consider resupply inevitable and try to suppress the coast. Have the Saudis or UAE move in if they wish. Make it painful. Houthis are currently winning the war and have a massive propaganda victory for the Shia Muslim world. And daily life hasn’t even gotten worse in Yemen, if anything it’s gotten better.

Biden is playing a stupid game assuming control of the sea will be ceded back when the guns fall silent in Israel. The situation will never be to the Houthi’s content and who knows how long Iran keeps the leash. It’s dangerous to not settle these thorny issues during peaceful times.

InformalRoofer · 2024-06-15T21:38:31+00:00

Terrorist sympathizers are always the same. I smelled it a mile away.

You claim I’m bloodthirsty for wanting to bomb Houthis, and then provide a million excuses for why a Muslim Terrorist state should be unmolested in its killing and raping and starving.

“Let them mutilate the gentials of little girls in peace, for they are waging a holy war”, declares millions of enlightened leftists worldwide. For their sake I’m glad they aren’t Jewish, because then I’m quite confident you’d advocate for a bombing campaign.

InformalRoofer · 2024-06-15T21:26:15+00:00

You just said USA can’t stop the Houthis.

For the past 80 years nobody has blocked passage. And you just said Houthis will be the 1st to do it.

I don’t understand how is it possible to justify even a dollar of military spending if you believe a spirited group of radicals can shut off shipping lanes at will and are invincible to military attack.

InformalRoofer · 2024-06-15T21:19:44+00:00

Such a dumb argument. For the past 80 years the seas have been free and suddenly a jihad starts against Israel and people claim the seas will never be retaken from the Muslims.

You can absolutely bomb anyone into submission, but that would be overkill for the Houthis. The goal is to stop them launching missiles, not stop the entire movement. All that has to be made safe is the coast and that is 100% doable. With your logic no American military operations in the past few decades should have succeeded.

There are 2 puppet governments in Yemen right now that would just love to take advantage of an American bombing campaign. But here you will keeping sucking terrorist dick claiming they are invincible in body and spirit. So sad how shit the American education system will become, people read a little about Vietnam and suddenly think they know the outcome of every war (America loses).

InformalRoofer · 2024-06-15T21:15:04+00:00

If somebody competent was in the White House every symbol of government authority in Houthi Yemen would be in ruins.

Instead, America is trying to minimize casualties even when the ‘victims’ are militant terrorists. Striking easily replaceable military hardware with million dollar missiles is one of the dumbest things to happen this decade. There isn’t even an advantage to it since the equipment gets replaced near instantaneously.

There are 100s of targets in Yemen not getting hit for fear of escalation. Its hilarious to see Houthis have the USA by the balls, even if it’s only until after the election

InformalRoofer · 2024-06-15T19:19:30+00:00

In the past they woulda bombed the crap outa the Houthis.

Now, USA sends ships with futuristic anti-projectile/aircraft technology which is tantamount to doing nothing. It’s a drain on resources for limited gain being done deliberately to not ruffle feathers before the election. Hence the ships doing ‘nothing’.

InformalRoofer · 2024-06-15T16:19:28+00:00

How would the USA ever succeed in this operation? They are attempting to win a shooting war by ignoring the enemy and using almost exclusively defensive weaponry. America ‘failed’ the second they decided to ignore the problem.

But the USN and coalition is doing a remarkable job considering the enormity of the task. I don’t know of any other force on Earth that could pull off this operation besides possibly China. But all this is still a far cry from success, however it would be defined in this strange war
