    So, we are protecting the bomb vest dude now? /$ I would argue that every country with nukes has this doctrine. Superpowers are the fucking devil walking on earth.

    I think everything you stated is correct, but I don’t think that Israel is even remotely close to being deleted at this moment. Wanting to and actually being able to are totally different situations, unless what you are stating is that Israel is looking for any excuse to abomb the Middle East.

    Meanwhile, Ukraine looks to be struggling with its counterattack*.

      The thing a lot of people miss is that the whole suicidal spiteful blaze of glory is a regional thing. Not a Muslim thing.

      Read up on the Siege of Masada, it’s an important local story.

      It was more apparent when there were a bunch of paramilitaries before they crystallized into Israel.

      Israel also regularly assassinates summarily people in foreign countries who kill it’s citizens. Look up the Munich Olympics in the 1970s. https://www.ynetnews.com/articles/0,7340,L-4509923,00.html side note this motherfucker was one of the most pro peace politicians to head up the government in the modern era after Rabin.

      Also the capability thing is that the Israeli population is tiny compared to its neighbors. It whoops ass historically, everyone having training and a cause to fight for does that, but the threat is always there of just storming the country with bodies.

      Ukraine gave up their nukes in what is going down in history as one of the stupidest decisions a government has ever made.
