They did okay during the Yom Kippur War. Been 50 years since then and there's no Soviet Union propping them up this time though. Also the consensus seems to be that Egyptian leadership is terrified of getting their asses kicked since military prowess is sort of the basis of their entire government's legitimacy, so my bet is that there probably won't be a real war.

last time the enemy murdered some Hezbollah members the entire zionist army went into hiding for 2 weeks and let journalists walk freely into empty military bases on the Lebanese border with parked unlocked APCs and stuff. zionist grunts were begging Hezbollah to just go ahead and kill some of them so their lives could go back to normal

without a local guy who knows how to run things they won't make it out of the desert, and the local guy they've been propping up isn't "local" but an incompetent soviet-trained artillery officer who (a) sent gaddafi's army in the 80s to its doom in the chadian desert before fleeing libya for his life (b) is barely fit to manage a 7/11 in arlington, VA and (c) was dusted off after gaddafi fell, but that's like bringing someone who hasn't played professional basketball in 20 years back into the NBA to shoot penalties

also other various mercs. bet this is the first time there has been swastika graffiti in libya since 1941:

this is a good point, the notion that the US intelligence community would lie about chemical weapons to provoke a military response is unprecedented and frankly unthinkable

it matters when the alleged use of chemical weapons is being used as the justification for needing to depose Assad

Do not trust in hope- it will betray you! Only faith and hatred sustain.

Also "the Douma incident wasn't a gas attack" doesn't mean "Assad is blameless and literally never used gas"
