I'm trying to imagine ground combat in the ruins of Gaza City and I don't see it going well for the IDF.

If this was the US Army going in, they’d launch WP at the rubble to clear out anyone hiding in it.

lol if Syria and Lebanon were waiting for the IDF to enter Gaza.

that seemed pretty much inevitable once Israel declared that they were going to murder 2 million civilians.

I think this is all true. I'd also guess that part of it is two rapist, demented Presidents in a row have done wonders to dismantle the mythology of American greatness. I don't think Bush was quite as transparent to regular people that the norms were bullshit immediately post 9/11. As Bush started to lean into more of the mask-off poo poo, we in turn started to reject the propaganda.

Anyway, that's a theory, I think there's many factors at play here for why people are more skeptical this time around. Perhaps people are just sick of America being involved in the Middle East in general too.

The Iraq War essentially fell apart when it went on longer than the country hoped for and people started learning things like the WMDs being a lie as well as the US essentially being responsible for some of the leaders and militant groups that have been loving up a number of countries. The image of Iraqi people with painted fingers showing they can vote has just withered away when you learn how many civilians died and how more hosed up Iraq got thanks to America.

It can at most intercept I think 800 total, that's all 10 batteries around the country loaded maximally lol. Also its intercept success rate is variable and somewhere between 5% and 40% lmao. It was all an illusion, much like the IOFs vaunted military prowess

I've genuinely seen people lament that "israelis would become a minority in their own country"

"""in their own country""", anything that isn't total israeli domination is ethnic cleansing to these people, except actual ethnic cleansing which is fine.

How much of an actually army/infrastructure does Syria have after a decade plus civil war. Also, America did say they would help bomb shiite miltias in Lebanon and Syria if Israel is attacked.

40 ish maybe. it's not a semi truck tire, that's something from a light truck or trailer
it'll tip over really easily without a wheel in it, the wheel rigidity and inflation is what keeps the rotational inertia aligned and have a low rolling resistance and have such a destructive impact
without a wheel it's constantly flexing inward from the top and deforming the sidewall irregularly, pushing and bouncing off against itself and redirecting momentum off axis with its direction of travel
that's why it gets all wobbly and stops gaining any speed while rolling downhill, does that lazy upward bounce over the curb & doesn't even shift the suspension of the truck it hits even tho it completely changes its direction of travel - its unstable as gently caress and isn't holding onto its shape or momentum well at all, all you have to do is deform it momentarily and it'll completely redirect it

Oh wow 100 lbs of tire striking a glancing blow at the wheel of an armored truck didn't shift the suspension? Amazing.

It sure loving ragdolled the idiot soldier who put his foot in front of it though

i recall that syria actually kept most of their heavy armour away from fighting only bringing it out to blast aleppo, so probably a lot stronger than people expect
