IDF Chief Believes War In Lebanon Is Becoming Much More Likely

Times of Israel: Visiting north, IDF chief says war in Lebanon becoming much more likely  

Halevi says lessons from fighting in Gaza will be applied to fight against Hezbollah and its allies, as Hamas rocket barrage from Lebanon targets Rosh Hanikra 

The likelihood that Israel will be drawn into a war in Lebanon is growing, IDF Chief of Staff Lt. Gen. Herzi Halevi said Wednesday, hours after Hamas terrorists fired a barrage of rockets at a northern Israel town. 

With visiting troops drilling for a simulated offensive inside Lebanon, as the army winds down its most intense stages of fighting in Gaza, Halevi said Israel was “increasing readiness for fighting in Lebanon,” as it seeks to stabilize its northern border and allow tens of thousands of Israelis evacuated from the region to return home.

The IDF has “a very clear goal in Lebanon — to return the residents to the north, all the communities in the north,” Halevi said.

They know when Trump takes his rightful place in the White House that this war of empirical aspiration will not be backed any longer. Last chance to take president Bernie for a ride on our dime.

That might explain the real reason for the reduction in combat in Gaza. Those units are already exhausted and need to recover quickly for the real war.

Israel's war against Shia islamic terrorists is existential for them. They have no choice but to do what they have to do. I suspect if supporting Israel with weapons and money is not good for the average American, Trump won't give them any but he won't hold them back either, blather on about a two state solution.

Ukraine's survival is not existential to America in any way. Only getting in a war with Russia for the sake of Ukraine is existential to the average American.

Russia is using P-35 missiles which entered service in 1962.

All they can do is expose AD or sop up SAMs.

The Ruzzians have started to modernize their KH-101s

Too little too late

If the Ukrainians lose, America will lose reserve currency status. Then Ron will bleat like a sheep.

Nepal is no longer giving Nepalese permits to work in Russia.

200 Nepalese left.

10 KIA

100 MIA

That is a 55% rate.

Nepalese government is pissed.

Russian warehouses burn down for insurance money. Central Asians no have no jobs at the warehouses. Russians recruiters swoop in the beg, cajole or push these central Asians to join the Russian meatgrinder in Donbas and become part of the sausage.


Come on man, you did not think WNU's family would sign up and man the trenches did you?

7:30, Sorry, don't see your logic. We are losing the reserve status already because of printing money to spend on other nations and with the help of the EU, weaponizing our currency. If a nation is bullyproof, (any of the BRICS), They just go somewhere else and create something new.

I won't be bleating because I already know it is going to happen. I am preparing however.
