A huge portion of the IDF are kids doing their mandatory service time who want no part in a brutal war where they can actually die. i don't know anything about the military capability of countries (and i guess, terrorists) across the globe to speak confidently, but my knee jerk reaction to this is the same as when people said 'Russia's military is archaic and will be exhausted in a few weeks' (or something to that effect) TBD Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That's the type of result the IDF is afraid of. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Congressional staffers are writing open letters and resigning in protest of the US position. State Department members are resigning and leaking like crazy that the administration has lost its mind. The tide is turning. And most importantly, we're now seeing multiple polls confirming that the public wants de-escalation. If US politicians see the way the wind is blowing and have more courage to oppose Israel's warpath, they might be in trouble. Everything they do is contingent on having the full backing and guarantee of the US. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

In the last major election, the 2022 midterms, their polls actually ended up overestimating Republicans. https://www.dataforprogress.org/blog/2022/12/2/dfp-2022-polling-accuracy-report "Looking at the polls in the general election cycle, our polling margin bias was 1.9 percentage points toward overestimating Republican vote share."

Ban Basketball Posted October 21, 2023 Share Posted October 21, 2023 If rust bombing was indeed done by Israel I'm going to demand that everyone on Tattletale "News" and AM radio who have been bullying everyone into silence who questioned the source to collectively apologize to anyone who was willing to think rationally before the facts came out.

Ban Basketball Posted October 21, 2023 Share Posted October 21, 2023 I now also wish that Commander in Chief Biden hadn't said that "the other side" was responsible for it, in front of K.K.
